Randy Pausch, Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Alice Project, Wonderful Father

 http://www.justonekindact.com  :  I watched the full one hour plus video and was truly impressed by this man's love of life, his family and his passion.  His short life touched so many who aren't even aware.  I thank his family for allowing this video to continue and wish them the very best life has to offer and pray for a cure for pancreatic cancer.
