I
heard the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II
this afternoon on PBS radio and instantly
flashed back to the moments I heard about the deaths of both Kennedys on
the radio. It is interesting to me that I should have heard about the
death the most important people dear to me via radio as opposed to TV.
I thought to myself, it was another one of my "Immortal Loves" (link below) gone. When I was not even a teenager, I remember the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II
with all the pomp and glory that accompanied it; I thought, what grand
fun it must be only years later to discover she worked her . . . off to
fulfill her duties.
She was a grand lady and one of the last islands of sanity in our world.
