Just wanted to put a short piece on here about Tim Russert, who passed away today at the young age of 58.  He was an amazing journalist and a baseball fan, although we won't discuss his favorite team.  Last year, however, he was a good sport and came to Boston to "moderate" the "debate" between the "finalists" (I don't want to get into that, either! LOL) for president of Red Sox Nation.  The people who were at that event had the great privilege of meeting him.  Tim had been the press secretary for NY Gov. Mario Cuomo when he was first elected about 24 years ago.  In 2004, he was the speaker at my daughter's graduation for her master's degree from Boston College, and he was so proud that his son, Luke--his only child--was going to be attending BC in the fall of 2004.  Luke graduated last month.  I am not only a sports junkie but a political junkie as well, and I will miss him so much on "Meet the Press."  And to think that he had a good enough sense of humor to moderate the RSN event.  My condolences to his family, both his wife, son and the rest of his nuclear family, and those of us who considered him part of our on-air family.
