Thanks for posting this. I saved the newspaper from that day. I'll have to dig it out now and read it.

We lived a mile from Snoopy's Ice Arena which also had a small museum in it. I took my daughter there a lot for outings. She liked the drawings on the walls, and the huge cut outs of the Peanuts Gang. There was a gift shop. Until I lived in Santa Rosa, I had no idea he did. I learned a lot about Mr. Schulz in the year that we lived there. I love all his classic specials and still watch them to this day.

D*mn near made me cry too.
It's a very loving tribute to a generous man.

There was a special on PBS a little while back about Charles Shulz. It was very informative.

That is still the only song I can play on the piano.

Following that day, both the syndicated comics and webcomics were filled with tributes to him. He was the inspiration to so many.

I, for one, would just like to say:

Wha wha wha wha wha, wha wha wha, wha wha.

He was revered by all.
