Reply to "Tim Horton '74 Pantera"

I find it strange that after several thousand years that the Greek concept of tradgedy is so accurate.
We are all tradgedies. We are all the leading characters in our own stories and we all die at the end.
Few of us understand the meaning of success and most underestimate the influences that our own lives have on others.
Not being of Canadian ancestory I never really realize the effect that hockey has on the Canadian people.
Being a 44 year old in a sport in which a 25 year old has to maintain maximum effort to surrvive created an icon to all of us who hold out some sort of hope for personal vindication while we are alive.
We rarely consider what the autopsy report will reveal. I suppose we don't care.
I was going to make a comeback as a pitcher. I had my nickname all picked out. Was going to call myself "Peckerwood".
My Pantea is painted red and black. I wonder if that had anything to do with the NJ Devils and Martan Broduer?
I suppose that I am entirely to empathetic in situations like this. I suppose that it shows a signifigant personalaty flaw of my own.
I'm sorry for all of my Canadian friends that still are haunted by this tradgedy some thirty years later.
I'm sorry that it happened to a sport icon and I'm sorry that a Pantera was involved in such a negative sociological human event.
Perhaps someone will be able to show how something or someone posatively triumphed in such a sad event.
Personally I think it is best to let the dead rest in peace but as you can see, what do I know?
