You know though, I don't think I have a 'hero' ... at least no one comes immediately to mind. That's sad. |

Daniel Berrigan,S.J.,priest,poet activist,friend.Willaim Blake....and a man named Tom R., who through patience that defies any known boundary, has listened ,cajoled,and carried me through the past 20 1/2 years of sobriety.

Guys - this topic is a reach for the "entertainment" forum
See: http://www.netshrine.com/vbulletin2/...ead.php?t=8146 It's too close to being a "Just Shooting It" topic - which the NDF no longer supports. Sorry. I have to kill this one. If you would like to discuss, send me a PM or e-mail to curator@netshrine.com Thanks

It makes for remarkable and sincere discourse. |
