88. They gave much, and we thank them for investing so much time and energy

to educate and stimulate us.

They were both favorites of mine and I will never forget them.

In honor of JackpineRadical, I have adopted his minimalist graphic redition of Bernie.

May they both haunt our souls for as long as we live.

Note: I tried to make JackPineRadical's "I'm for the fringe" image my signature in my profile, but it doesn't seem to take. It did work once for the first try, but not with the second post. When I saw the preview for the second post it was missing. I had entered the URL from one of MadFloridian's posts to my profile for the sig for the first one, but it only worked once...and now I had to do the same thing for this post. Anyone willing to teach me how to make it permanent?
