After seeing Rudy in person here at OU and hearing him speak, I am even more of a fan of his. His words about Pres Reagan and Pres Bush were wonderful -- left that convocation feeling great -- uplifting person.
Who is entitled to State Funerals? and is 'lying in state" something anyone other than the Pres can have? Seems I remember a supreme court justice lying in state but memory is poor.
I saw Rudy a couple of months ago. He does leave you feeling very uplifted.
