Some months ago Your favorite Peasant posted birthday greetings
for retired Secretary of State George Schultz on the occasion of
his 100th birthday. Now I have the sorrowful duty of announcing
his passing to you, my fantastic readers. The economist, diplomat,
and businessman who served in several presidential administrations
with distinction passed away February 6; I sincerely apologize for
not having reported his death until now, as I had my health challenges
which nearly rendered me deceased as well. I now have gotten
caught up on all the very important news stories which took place
during my illness and convalescence.
George Schultz was the kind of public servant that our government
at all levels should have more of. Our country would be so much
better off for such a blessing.
Rest well, Mr. Schultz. Well done, sir. Requiescat in pace.
