Randi - I'm so sorry for your loss. The outpouring of grief and love on this thread pretty much explains it all. The stories of Fister, as told by you and John, are certainly the cornerstone of the good that is PetTalk.

John challenged our politics and our (American's) world view. But his challenges always stemmed from a deep curiosity and desire to understand how others think.

Rest in peace John - you will be missed.
