Russell Baker, 2 times Pulitzer Award winner for journalism and author passed away 21 January at age 93. He was also a host of Master Piece Theater. I read and related to his book Growing Up as he recounted his childhood in Baltimore, same as me. I remember one part of the story that his mother took him to a relief agency during The Depression to get some food. It was packaged in plain wrapping and he put his jacket over the contents of his wagon upon reaching their neighborhood so no one would know. How different times are today. :rolleyes2: Chris
