The Seed from the Sower

RIP

On February 21, 2009

"The Sower," Dr. Michael Guido, passed away.

When I was growing up we only had cartoons on Sunday mornings. Michael Guido always had a 60 second commercial called "The Seed from the Sower" on during my once a week cartoon fest. A little religious but the little stories he told caught my attention, even at a young age. They made me think about right and wrong as well as others.

So even though I referred to your segments as the "The Seed from the Sewer" when you interrupted my Sunday morning cartoons, I'll always remember you and your message fondly as a positive part of my Sunday morning childhood experience.

The Day The Music Died

50 Years ago today....

On a cold winter's night a small private plane took off from Clear Lake, Iowa bound for Fargo, N.D. It never made its destination. When that plane crashed, it claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. "Big Bopper" Richardson and the pilot, Roger Peterson. Three of Rock and Roll's most promising performers were gone.

Rest In Peace

You were the very definition of Class.

You leaned hard to the right but

you never tried to pretend otherwise.

Watching your example always gave me hope that

politics could be discussed with civility.

I will miss you.

Although your political coverage always had a bit of a left lean to it, I always had the feeling you thought it was balanced. You were a professional with class and totally committed to informing the public about politics. Your passion was contagious and always made me think. I will always respect you for that. The world will miss you.
