During my break from SG two public figures died that had a surprising effect on me. Normally the passing of folks I do not know does not have any emotional ramifications. I am not callous, and am not talking about children, tragedies, war, famine etc. I am saying that the news that Seamus Heaney and a few weeks later Philip Chevron(The Pogues) saddened me in a way that the death of a person I did not know never has before.
