What a beautiful video...and so very sad.

So simple, and yet it speaks volumes about all those young lives, gone too soon...

Every man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind. Therefore, do not ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. John Donne, from his poem No Man Is An Island.

Thank you for sharing this...

One year before I graduated. Our 45th reunion will be this year, I haven't been since the 5th. I'm sure our "missing" will be nearly as many. We were also missing several at the 5th (damn Vietnam war).

I know it was 46 years ago, so that + 18 makes you all about 64 or 65, but that seems like a lot of missing classmates. How large was your graduating class?
