~ EXCERPT ~

Friends and former colleagues say Lawrence S. Eagleburger, the only career foreign service officer to rise to the position of secretary of state, has died.

Word of Eagleburger's death Saturday came from representatives of former President George H.W. Bush and former Secretary of State James Baker.

Mr Eagleburger was a fine man and true patriot. I loved watching him give the facts to reporters and politicians alike and putting their BS in place.

R.I.P. sir.

His wife died less than a year ago and it hurt him to no end.

his speech at his wife’s funeral suggested that life without her was boun to be unbearable for him.

I can understand that sentiment.....

.....God Bless you Lawrence. May God rest your soul and may you be with your beloved wife again.
