Amidst the fan fare and excitement of this historic election and all the wonder and hope that comes with it, many Americans may have missed a smaller story which was dwarfed by the events of November 4, 2008.
After a long and private battle with cancer, Michael Crichton passed away at the age of 66. Mr. Crichton will be best known for writing Jurrasic Park and creating the hit show 'ER.'
A graduate from Harvard Medical School, Mr. Crichton wrote his first book while attending that institution. He would establish a reputation for himself through his entire body of work as a man of science who had a tirelessly inquisitive mind.
Mr. Crichton left his mark not only in the literary world but also as a truly great American who will be deeply missed.

I'm not sure you'll get this as you posted this so long ago but I felt the need to comment. I love Michael Crichton as well. His books were always gripping no matter the content or how detailed he became. Crichton had a hold of the storytelling process and knew how to blend interesting medical advances or theories with strong characters and adventure/suspense. I appreciate your recognition of this and want you to know that I also felt that loss. Anytime we are feeling a bit down or remembering Mr. Crichton, all we need to do is pick up one of his books and there we become engrossed in the world of Michael Crichton.
