We Will Miss Her More Than We Realize

There are significant events from 1952, my birth year. Ike was elected, the Korean War continued, the U.S. set off the first hydrogen bomb—-but for my money the most significant event in retrospect was Queen Elizabeth II’s ascension to the throne.

Today Queen Elizabeth II passed away. Through all the tumult of the past 70 years she was rock-steady in her demeanor and graciousness. We will miss her more than we realize.
