Thanks for all the wonderful books you have written!

Frank McCourt passed away yesterday.

We are losing a lot of wonderful inspirational individuals. Some of them stood for things that are falling by the wayside - ethics, character, openness, honesty - to name a few things.

Anyway, here are some interesting links if you want to read or listen to some things about Frank McCourt. Or you could just go to the library and check out his books.

• L.A. Times obituary
• NPR's Remembrances
