Very nice tribute. Not one given to media I do not recognize all but do some - since as you infer they have cast a long shadow that has touched many. I did not know some had passed until now. It is a reminder of how time moves on and waits for no one. I hope you have a great and improved 2009!

Very good job on this collage! It's a shame to see our icons pass away, people we grew up with, they always seemed larger than life. An even bigger shame is to see the youth cut down in their prime. Here's to 2009 and may we not lose a fraction of this many during this coming year. Happy New Years!

Out of all those faces the one who's absence was most noticable to me has been Tim Russert. Election coverage will never be the same. Great tribute to some grand souls that have left us.
