Thank you, Marshall. It's a beautiful obituary.
 
I picked up an interesting 25-cent book, Generations: the  History of 
America's Future, published in 1991. The  "greatest generation"  is passing so 
quickly now. We "Silent (Adaptive)"  ones (b.1925-1942) are on our way out 
also. Our generation never  had a president. The presidency went from G.I.'s 
(Civic) to Boomers  (Idealist) (b.'43 -'60), since Mondale and Dukakis didn't 
cut  it. Obama is in what the authors call the Thirteenth (Reactive) 
generation  (61 - 81). I can see why the book was on the quarter shelf. 1991 was a  
long time ago. Wonder if there's a similar study that's newer, since this  
one only projected to the Millennials, born up to 2003.
 
Blessings,
Jann

Some of us were among his students  many years ago. I thought you'd like to 
read his NYT  obit.
