Today is 2 years annisvary of Senator Wellstone's death. For some here don't know what happen....

Oct 25th Sen Wellstone, wife, daughter, couple of campaign staffers, 2 pilot was killed in plane crash up north in Minnesota. They were on way to my friend's dad funeral but they went wrong way, was supposed to go to a particular airport but some said that the weather was at fault, some said pilots were too tired to fly but did fly anyways, then suddenly plane crashed. I also read in newspaper that they may be alive when crashed but died moments later.

I will never forget that day, It is really hard on me. I remember at school, when i checked e mails, tought someone was playing prank, said wellstone died, so I check newspaper online, I started to cry so hard, my intrepter ask me what matter, i explained and ask me if i want to go home, i said yes, so I went home.. been crying most of day and evening. I have know wellstones 6 years before they died.

It is like 9/11 for political campaigns. Everyone was really sad.

If you have memory of wellstone, please feel free to share.
 
I didn't know the Senator personally but I do remember the shocking news stories about his death. I am very sorry for your loss. It is hard to lose someone who touched your spirit. I am sure that if he was still alive he would be pleased to see that you have continued active in politics to honor his memory.
