For Puerto Ricans #RobertoClemente's death was sudden and tragic. For me it was little more personal. My aunt, an ex-nun, was invited to travel with Clemente to take relief supplies to Managua after the earthquake. #RobertoClementeDay (1) 
My father, worried, advised my aunt not to go thinking the situation unsafe. When we heard the terrible news there was a sense of loss and relief. #RobertoClementeDay (2)
I remember watching the search for his plane on TV. I was a kid and somehow hoped they would find him alive. He had so much life left in him. (3) #RobertoClementeDay
