Boo! to you!

Hi Lannio,
Lots of Keith remembrances on the who boards I belong to- he would have been 60, though something tells me he wouldn't have made old bones even without his tragic death. Such is the fate of shooting stars...
To answer your question on my blog, Mass Comm. at York U, with a double major in French. I landed into teaching by accident- had to do a mass comm project in a middle school, and found I liked kids more than grown ups. :)
Cheers,

Hear hear on the celebration of Keith. I think Anne Marie is right tho. I can't imagine Keith as an old man..he was already on fast forward..
Hi Guys,
the moon is indeed in celebration of Keith. But, you're right, I couldn't imagine him at 60 - but then again - Keith Richards made it to the 60 mark and he was on that same fast track. You just never know. But he did have a young death - yet 28 years after his death he's still remembered and celebrated. Wow!
A-M, like your attitude on teaching. I wish more had it. I never got a degree in French, but studied it when I lived in France. I did a triple-major: Mass-Com, business and Recreation. (Guess I like to have fun while I work!).
