The year 2016 marked the deaths of worldwide icons such as David Bowie, George Michael, and Prince from the music world; Muhammad Ali, José Fernández, and Arnold Palmer from the world of sports; Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Shimon Peres, and Janet Reno from the world of politics & government; literary giants including Harper Lee, Edward Albee, and Pat Conroy; and from the acting community, Alan Rickman, Carrie Fisher, and Gene Wilder. To commemorate their lives, their individual outlooks on life, and their messages to their fans, followers and the world, this book is a compilation of some of their memorable words. It's an eclectic group with various world views and advice ... compelling as individuals and fascinating as a group with one basic thing in common; they all died in the same year. Although of great interest on its own, this book also makes a great gift for anybody who reached an important milestone in 2016: engagement, marriage, divorce, new job, promotion, graduation, acceptance into college, birth of a child, etc. This is The Class of 2016: David Bowie Carrie Fisher Arnold Palmer Florence Henderson George Michael Vera Rubin Alan Thicke Zsa Zsa Gabor Craig Sager Sharon Jones José Fernández Gwen Ifill Robert Vaughn Janet Reno Leonard Cohen Gene Wilder Garry Marshall Pat Conroy Doris Roberts Merle Haggard Umberto Eco Garry Shandling Glenn Frey Shimon Peres Keith Emerson Harper Lee Morley Safer Phife Dawg Nancy Reagan George Martin Dave Mirra Maurice White Antonin Scalia Alan Rickman Joe Garagiola Patty Duke Boutros Boutros-Ghali Gordie Howe Edward Albee Ralph Stanley Richard Adams Alvin Toffler Mother Mary Angelica Jim Harrison Elie Wiesel Pat Summitt Bill Cunningham John Glenn Paul Kantner Muhammad Ali Debbie Reynolds Prince
