In this week's Time magazine on the "milestone" page, the announcement of Ed Bradley's passing is written by Jimmy and is very touching.

My non-PH but appreciative friendly neighbor was touched by it as well.

Very touching indeed - you get the sense that Jimmy lost more than a friend - Ed was more like a brother to him.
By the way, Jimmy sure can write with the best of them.

I was trying to... Here's the url for the current magazine's Milestones: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/artic ... 19,00.html

It has Jimmy's name, but doesn't have the article.

When I click on his name, a form for letters to the editor appears. :-?

I think this will work:
Scan it and post it to the PhotoGallery - user2006 gallery
At this point I have to get a mod to help me display the image because I always fail at this point LOL! I'm sure a mod will read this and just ya a helpig hand.

“I was introduced to Ed Bradley by Hunter Thompson 30 years ago in Key West. Ed needed a “combat nap” from the rigors of either traveling with Hunter or covering a presidential primary in Florida, and he asked to borrow my hammock. He went to sleep, and I went fishing. When he awoke, we found the common ground of a couple of ex-altar boys, which lasted until I said goodbye to him in a New York City hospital room last week, where he died of leukemia at age 65.
A lot a people think they are cool. Ed was cool. He was a professional, but could party with the best of them. From Presidents to praline makers, diplomats to dishwashers, everybody loved Ed. To Ed, everybody had a story, and I think his meteor-tail ride from South Philly to trailblazing 60 Minutes correspondent is summed up by paraphrasing a John Sebastian song: “He did it for the stories he could tell.” Along the way, he taught the world and his friends what being really “cool” was all about.”
