January 18, age 97. I didn't see a thread on him, and I was offline for quite a while in midJanuary. He was one of my heroes, as corny as that sounds. He was extremely active in the civil rights movement, founded the Peace Corps, VISTA, Upward Bound, and Foster Grandparents. He originated Head Start, which is like an oasis in the lives of many of my littlest patients.
Here is a video of Bono and Glen Hansard from the Swell Season singing The Prayer of St Francis at his funeral. Even though Bono is doing his Bono thing in it, it's kind of lovely. Requiescat in pace, sir.
