The Canadian Ambassador who saved a group of Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis has passed away.

A great man.  :(

RIP

Too often people do only what they think will save their skin in times of chaos.  It is those who actually do something good in those times that keeps the faith in humanity alive.

I'd heard him in several interviews, and he seemed both insightful and funny.  Kinda the exact way you would expect an ideal ambassador to sound.  His conduct seemed equally impeccable.   RIP.
