Included some photos, more at source.

[onyx]

Nice post. Appreciate the photos. I'm learning how much effort goes in to posting each one. :)

[chance33_98]

Had it been earlier in the day I would have posted them, too darn tired :)

[SW6906]

Thanks for the post......such a small picture for Richard Crenna? What a great actor!

[Bobibutu]

Thanks - we are all moral - and go at sometime - these are some of the greats that made our lives more enjoyable. Some I had never heard of - willl check them out before I follow.

[South40]

Did you know that of all those people Barry Gibb was the youngest at 53?

[South40]

OK...he was the youngest on another list I saw. Obviously, he's not the youngest here.

It's been a long day.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Bump

[onyx]

It's been a long day.

If memory serves, I think you and Eric Capitalist had a late night last night. :)

[South40]

Your memory is better than mine. I didn't think I was up all that late but I did a quick check and saw that I was posting after 3am. No wonder it's been such a long day!

[onyx]

You ain't alone --- I was amused reading right along with yall!

[South40]

You shoulda spoke up girl!

It was hilarious though, wasn't it?

A newbie with 5 months FReeping under his belt accused Cap and me of being democRATs. Cap's been here 5 years and me 2 1/2. That's 7 1/2 years of FReeping between us and supposed to be closet dims?! lol!

I think I received at least 5 private messages from another poster asking me to go easy on the guy. Why, I don't know.

As far as I'm concerned, he got what he deserved.

[WackyKat]

A newbie with 5 months FReeping under his belt accused Cap and me of being democR

Just my opinion from my experience with him-I think he's a disruptor.

[South40]

If he is he's not alone. The PMs I received from another poster asking me to go easy on him proves it.

[SkyPilot]

I think the death that I paid most attention to was Johnny Cash. I saw the Gatlin brothers recently, and they remarked at the tremendous love of Johnny and June. A love seared by tragedy and strengthened by it. Plus, both of them loved God so much.

I had to laugh at an interview I read years ago during which Johnny Cash remarked at how sexy his wife looked naked. His wife smiled in embarrassment, but nodded.

ping for later

Larris Hovis, Actor-Teacher Age: 67 Cause: Cancer

I never heard about this one! We lost Carter? Damn! Is anyone from that show left anymore?

[Tex-Con-Man]

You forgot Michael Kelly - Atlantic Monthly editor

[oceanperch]

thnxs for the memories.

[MeekOneGOP]

Mornin' ! Thanks for the post and ping.

I see a thread like this, it makes me wonder about Uncle Ronnie. At age 92(?) and with Alzheimer's, he is certainly not doing too well. I heard just recently on the radio something about him. Seems he is slipping away more. They claimed he doesn't even know who he is any more. Sad.
