Answer 7

It is so sad to hear about his passing.

Answer 8

No, who's that?  You wouldn't have because everybody's talkin about Edmund Hillary, who also died today.

Answer 9

Woooooooooooh!!  

Bowman the Showman - he really was such a talented skater in his time.  I am shocked, but the possible drug overdose, in a way, does not shock me.  Gosh, he led such a troubled life.  But still it is very sad - for anyone to pass away so young.  

It hits home because he is from around "here".  He used to train at our rinks as a kid.  My skater friend's family and his family used to go camping together . . . I haven't talked to her about this yet but I know she will be deeply saddened.

I will never forget how he sort of improvised his program at Worlds - oh that will forever crack me up!
