Forty Years ago on Friday, July 16th Harry Chapin left us way too soon in a car wreck in 1981 at the way too young age of 38. But his legacy and humanitarian efforts still live as we would not have had through his influence like "Live Aid, We Are the World. Farm Aid, Band Aid, and Hands Across America" in the 1980's as was a kid back in the day. For his efforts in 1987 he was posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal on what would had been his 45th birthday on December 7th. RIP Harry only the good die young.

I love Harry Chapin. I love that song too. Chapin was a great human being. He and Bill Ayres created a foundation to fight world hunger. It used to be called World Hunger Year. Now they call it WHY Hunger. Bill Ayres must now be in his 90s and he is still doing great work.
