Chavez

My thoughts go out to all the people of Venezuela. I'm saddened to hear about the death of President Hugo Chavez who died yesterday at the young age of 58. I have much respect for him and what he did for his country, using oil revenue to boost education and health services and bringing many Venezuelans out of poverty,  how he spoke out against the US government and for his support of Cuba. His death is a sad event for the whole world. Peace to all.
