My wife and I were having a conversation a few weeks back on “famous people you wouldn’t think are still alive, but are in fact still alive.”

Claude Levi-Strauss was tops on our list. Others included Olivia De Havilland, Gloria Stuart, John Wooden, and Zsa Zsa Gabor.

Wow..didn’t know he was alive. His writings played a big part in my college education. Going to have to dust off one of his books in the near future.

Oh gosh, a dark day for the blue jean industry...
He looks good in the picture for someone who made
