For those of you not familiar with Randy Pausch....it's worth checking out.  He will be missed.

I saved it to my hard drive and it was definitely one of those motivational speeches for the ages, the old, "" you think you got it bad "", "" walk a mile in my shoes "" , "" I thought I was poor because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet "" and much more rolled into one. 

I think this speech will carry on for many years and should be put into the Smithsonian. Required reading in High School, and college.

I now pray for his family, but I think because of his spirit, they are probably pretty ok, but prayer never hurts.

Thank you.  There are certain things that happen when you are not looking for them.  I followed the link and saw it was well over an hour long and thought that it was way too long to watch and I will just catch the first part... Well after well over two hours watching youtube I would like to thank you again.
