Going through the inbox and came upon this missed e-mail:

I just witnessed something truly touching. I’m in Anchorage on business and I was sitting in a noisy restaurant when some one turned the TV to Ronald Reagan’s sunset burial service. The entire restraint went quite. The noisy weekend crowd full of jaded, cynical business travelers like me, went almost completely silent. When they lifted up his casket to carry it to his final resting place, the crowd spontaneously stood up. It was truly a remarkable moment. I don’t suspect I’ll see anything like it again.
