Topic: Importance of having fun

Randy Pausch died on Friday. He was the 47 year old Professor from Pittsburgh who's "Last Lecture" was aired earlier this year on network tv.  The way he faced his impending death was inspiring. Here's a quote that gives you a taste of his attitude.."I'm dying and I'm having fun"...Although it's a very sad subject, this is uplifting and puts everyday "problems" in perspective. Peace to his widow and children.                  Cathy

I will never ever forget his lecture, what courage...if I can only be as strong as he...we can all learn from people like him, but few will ever walk so tall
