I'm Getting Closer

I sat 10 feet from the Big Guy today.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation's Centre for Memory that launched a 9 part comic book series on Madiba's life today. Mandela gave a brief talk to commemorate the event. He claimed to know that he is "really famous" now that he is a comic book character.

He also talked about the importance of reading. "The good thing about being in prison for 27 years," he said, "is that I had much time to read."

Check out an article with comic book clips here.

Wow Jana, that is amazing. Soon you will be having conversations over coffee I am sure! Spent our anniversary in Vegas last weekend. Can you believe it has already been a year since you were in Vail with us? Wow, time flies! Say hi to all our old Red Hill friends!
