Peter Lemkin Wrote:Nelson Mandela, my greatest living hero is gone. We all knew it was coming, but still it is a momentous and sad moment in history. I remember well the uphoria I felt on the day he was freed and another when he became President. His legacy is just HUGE! Truely saddened.And one of the few to make it to old age and to die a natural death at home surrounded by his loved ones. A fate usually reserved for the bastards of the world. Yeah, I stayed up all night to watch his release from prison as they had it broadcast live. I remember there was a delay. It took quite a while for him to emerge. Can't remember why now. Big legacy. Hope others take it up and go forward. He still had lots to do.
