for 08. Got some of you clapping didn't I?

One thing I look forward to is the list of those wel ost during the year. I know my tagline is coming true now. Most of the folks on the list I know or recognize from child hood (thinking of starting a pool on the next Star Trek member to go). The list is on the MSN Homepage, 54 in all.
The most important to me was my best friend of fifteen years.

Robert Cade, inventor of Gatorade, dearly missed at my place of employment, University of Florida. Mr. Cade- your invention has gotten me through unbelievable experiences.

UF didn't invent squat. They merely copied 'Seminole Firewater' that was created by FSU team doctor R.A Johnson in 1962.

"Contrary to popular belief, the University of Florida did not come up with the sports drink that is now known as Gatorade. The team doctor for the FSU football team, Dr. R.A. Johnson, began producing a sports drink that he called "Seminole Firewater" as early as 1962. Dr. Johnson blended sugar and lime flavoring with electrolytes (salts) to help keep the players hydrated and to prevent cramping. In 1964 at an annual Seminar of Collegiate sports physicians and athletic trainers held in Tallahassee, Fl., a representative from the University of Florida found out about the discovery that sodium and potassium keeps athletes better hydrated because it gives back to the body what is lost through sweat. They returned to Gainesville and, after being tested on the UF football players, the name "Gatorade" was given. The University of Florida requested a certified patent in 1967 for the drink that Dr. Johnson had freely shared with the public."
