Sad news. DUer Blue-Jay has died.
Jason hasn't been around DU lately because he had health problems after suffering a stroke. He had been a member of DU for many years and was noted for his sigline photo of Dubya with a giant squirrel.
He had recently had another stroke, went from the hospital to rehab and then home. We were Facebook friends and he had stopped posting there several weeks ago. Apparently, he had yet another stroke.
I don't have many details, but will post more when I get more information.

I also hope this will get a link on the left side margin so it is easy to find.

we've lost no one in 2018 or 2019? I find that hard to believe...we must be missing some names.

We're missing Rep. John Conyers who posted here in 2005, he passed on last October
