If a century is truly
blessed, the folks who lived through it will have a handful of names that come to mind
who they can call heroes. Of that handful, one or two may stand out above
them all. Yesterday, one of the greatest men of the 20th century (and on
into the 21st) passed away...he was a truly outstanding
hero!
It is rare that I will post about an
individual on this blog and even rarer when the subject is not related to
foraging. But I feel it is the least I can do to take a moment to honor the
late great Nelson Mandela. Mr. Mandela was a true hero, an inspiration and a
patient warrior for equality. If you already know of his achievements as a
champion of the oppressed, and as an avid anti-apartheid activist (to say the very
least), then please take a moment to remember this man. If you are not familiar
with Mr. Mandela, please take some time to look him up and read of his true
heroism. He was one of a kind!
Always honor those who
pass leaving this world just a little bit better than they found it. Keep the old
ways alive!
