I ...Angie - Another really great post, my friend. <br /><br />I was born 11 years after JFK's murder. However, I remember seeing the Space Shuttle Challenger explode live on John Craven's Newsround. That was the first time I realised how shocking and upsetting world events could be to me personally.<br /><br />I also remember with precise clarity the moment I learned of what was happening on the morning of 11 September 2001. Right up until the moment I fainted on hearing that two people I knew were, for all the information available at that moment, had been at work in the World Trade Center when the planes struck.<br /><br />I was very, very saddened by Sir Norman Wisdom's death - he was someone I always enjoyed seeing on screen and who could always raise a smile with his clever antics. I am glad that he had a peaceful end and didn't suffer through years of pain and loss of dignity.<br /><br />I honestly believe that what you saw with him was exactly what you got:- a gentle, intelligent man with an incredible gift for comedy and timing. Not to mention being a genuinely nice man.<br /><br />Did you know that Charlie Chaplin called Norman Wisdom his "favourite clown".<br /><br />I suspect the only can of "worms" lurking in his presence would be one of those 'fake' tins where a paper-covered spring bursts out when you take the lid off. I think a smile when someone remembers you is such a great legacy to leave behind you. I can't thnk of anyone who would have a bad word to say about him.<br /><br />love,<br />Ruth xxx (and J)RuthnJasperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854229975104169793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-35235309894609321452010-10-06T09:33:23.184+01:002010-10-06T09:33:23.184+01:00It is funny how the passing of special people mark...It is funny how the passing of special people mark rites of passage in our lives. I can remember everything I was doing, smelling, feeling the minute I heard of Elvis demise and John Lennon's. Not having grown up here, I don't have the same memories of Norman Wisdom as you would have, but he will be missed for sure. I remember being in their bedroom playing video games with my sons when my ex hollered out to me that Princess Diana had been in an accident. I glued myself to the telly until I went to bed and woke up the next morning to the news of her death. Very sad it was, and then Mother Teresa the very next day . . .Marie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-27274519561715289422010-10-05T20:05:50.000+01:002010-10-05T20:05:50.000+01:00The day JFK was shot I was at a party celebrating ...The day JFK was shot I was at a party celebrating my best friends 11th birthday and it seemed like the world had stopped. When Diana was killed I was in Guernsey which is loyal to the Queen but not the British government so again the world seemed to have stopped. As for Norman Wisdom I was sitting here trying to write my personal objectives for work for next year, somehow I think Mr Grimsdale would of approved with that!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909863530971229124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3593425901952889931.post-18785464276837617812010-10-05T19:23:47.514+01:002010-10-05T19:23:47.514+01:00I remember all those events so well too.
