Becky Clark also presented the following quote for the day and asked if anyone could guess who this person was:
It is utterly impossible for me to build my life on a foundation of chaos, suffering and death.
I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness, I hear approaching thunder that,
one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions. And yet, when I look up at the sky,
I somehow feel that everything will change for the better, that this cruelty, too, shall end, that
peace and tranquility will return once more.
*Anne Frank was 14 when she wrote this in her diary, and died one year later on July 15, 1944 in a concentration camp.
Becky Clark received "Happy Bucks" from President Drew Pelger, Paul Hervey, Jon Adland, Mark Clendenin, Bob Matthews, Sam Shaheen, Michelle Charles and PDG/PP Bob Pattison.
