When Nelson Mandela made his last trip to NYC, I had the amazing experience of covering it. I was tucked away in the back of church in Harlem. Even though we were in the same room, I could not see him. But when he spoke, you could feel his spirit. 

Nelson Mandela will forever stand as an icon of how the best of humanity can overcome its worst.

RIP Gary Carter - I know I am a bit late in sharing this, but I really wanted to. Growing up Gary Carter was my childhood hero. When i was a student at Hofstra University, I got to meet him at a Brooklyn Cyclones game and then cover his Mets' Hall of Fame induction. I think nowadays it's a rare thing for role models to live up to their billing, but Gary Carter did, and I am grateful. Attached is my 2nd best memory of Gary Carter after 1986 ;-)
