Reply #179: Wellstone was tough for me, too [View All]

Much of it had to do with how I found out about his death. I was on a field trip with my Geology class, walking down the street in San Antonio, when I read about Wellstone's death from the headline in the display copy of the newspaper in the machine. It was very surreal to find out about it that way, being around a bunch of dumb, happy college kids who didn't even know who Wellstone was. I had recently finished his autobiography and had become an even bigger fan of him, and his death was so out of nowhere. His death and George Harrison's are the two celebrity deaths that affected me the most.
