Final Word (Nov. 29)

Gotta note from Idaho Falls newspaper editor Dean Miller, a former S-R colleague, asking for Alice Rankin's address to send a letter of condolence re: the recent death of her hubby, Ron. Quoth Dean, the current editor of the Idaho Falls newspaper:

"Do you have an address for Mrs. Rankin? Hell, I'd have spoken at his funeral if I could have. Agree with him or not, he was an example of a guy so thoroughly confident of his point of view that he was able to instantly see how any event would weaken or strengthen his cause. Utterly memorable guy."

DFO: Dean's utterly correct.
