Subject: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: Ebbie Date: 31 Jan 06 - 09:42 AM There are times when I really do hope that we rejoin others on the other side. Not only did her husband change the world as we know it but his wife worked tirelessly to make it ever better. Rest in Peace |

Subject: RE: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: Big Mick Date: 31 Jan 06 - 09:52 AM You just beat me to the punch, Ebbie. It is my belief that Martin changed the world in profound ways. It is also my belief that Coretta gave the changes legs, and real substance. God be good to the both of them. Mick |

Subject: RE: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 31 Jan 06 - 12:02 PM Seems to me that obits (even of admirable public figures) should be "below the line" at Mudcat. Unless of course the dear departed is a musician or composer. Dave Oesterreich

Subject: RE: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: catspaw49 Date: 31 Jan 06 - 01:28 PM She was involved so deeply and for so many years that her deeds and accomplishments should be seen to be at least the equal of her husband. She branched out into areas where Martin had yet to go. A beautiful soul in a tireless body. Rest easy. Spaw .....and DAVE: Your comment belongs on the HELP Forum, not on the thread. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: Wesley S Date: 31 Jan 06 - 01:41 PM Actually Mrs King was a classically trained piano player. That was her field of study when she met Dr King. It was a shame she gave it up. I've never heard her play - but that might have been an interesting addition to her husbands career. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: Ebbie Date: 31 Jan 06 - 11:52 PM I think that 'Obit' is an appropriate prefix for this thread. The problem is that that automatically posts it above the line. I have no objection to putting it below. Just don't put it in the back of the bus. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Coretta Scott King RIP- January 2006 From: LilyFestre Date: 01 Feb 06 - 09:54 PM I had the opportunity to meet Coretta Scott King in 1987 during a civil rights march through Forsythe County GA....she was most gracious and I believe that she did a tremendous amount of good in this world. Rest in Peace Mrs. King. Michelle |
