The Writer's Life 10/24 - Duty

RIP Master Sergeant Joshua L. Wheeler, 39. The Oklahoma father of four made the ultimate sacrifice in the war on terror during a rescue mission in Iraq. Words cannot convey the debt Americans owe him.
Earlier in the week NYC Police Officer Randolph Holder, 33, was killed in the line of duty, another good man taken by someone with evil intent.

RIP Maureen O'Hara, 95, a flame-haired Irish beauty who found fame and fortune in the USA. I will always remember her as Esmeralda in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939), which channel nine's Million Dollar Movie aired many times in prime time Monday-Friday. She also played Natalie Wood's mom in the classic Miracle on 34th Street (1947), and the love of John Wayne, a frequent co-star, in The Quiet Man (1952). She has 65 credits listed under her name at IMDb.Well done, lass.

Alas, the world does not pause even at the passing of such exemplary figures. My thanks to the gentleman who bought two Russian crime thrillers, to the couple who overpaid for four volumes of The Chronicles of Narnia, despite the fact that four others of the complete set were missing; and to the nurse who purchased several books each in English and Russian, and A Hitch in Twilight for her 58-year-old roommate.
