At least once every human should have to run for his life, to teach him that milk does not come from supermarkets, that safety does not come from policemen, that 'news' is not something that happens to other people. He might learn how his ancestors lived and that he himself is no different—in the crunch his life depends on his agility, alertness, and personal resourcefulness. -- Robert A. Heinlein
Rest in peace, Frank Buckles, and my condolences to your family. You and your generation, that of my grandparents, is sorely missed.
