had just ordered my lunch and on the radio in my car, the woman said that Paul Wellstone, his wife, and 5 others had died in a plane accident. I get to the window to pick up my food and I'm bawling......window lady said what's wrong? I said Paul Wellstone just died.......she didn't know who he was by her puzzled look on her face that I could see through my tears.....I said a great man and drove to the nearest place to stop and bawled for at least 15 minutes. Couldn't eat my lunch, went back to work and asked my boss if I could take the afternoon off. I looked like a wreck, he said ok gave me a hug and said he was going to miss him as well. Lots of speculation that he was murdered......make me so ill today that he's gone. A great, great man.
