Two Sad Occassions

There are so many deaths these days. Good people are dropping like flies. Gordon Parks, famed director,photographer, and social critic died at the ripe old age of 93. Parks was an amazing person, best known for his major motion picture,Shaft, one of the first in Hollywood directed by an Afro-American. Also, the actress, pioneer, and social activist Dana Reeves has died. This is a terrible loss as she fought for so many years for the life of her late husband, Christopher Reeves, and championed the cause of paralysis and spinal cord injury through the Christopher Reeves Foundation after his death. What is worse is that her children are young. What will happen to them now?
