First Robert Carradine and now Ogre, is anyone watching Anthony Edwards?

1205

Not to mention the fact that both David Carradine and Robert Carradine died by hanging. David was accidental. Robert was not.

Have to keep an eye on other family members. Not a great trend.

  1. How very sad.
1207

Jason Collins was a slam dunk for 14 of us, putting Rebo on the backboard and moving GIGObuster into the key.

Not dead yet, but opera singer Dame Felicity Lott has announced she has terminal cancer.

Clarence Carter

Clarence Carter, Singer of Lust-Filled Soul Hits, Dies at 90

In songs like “Slip Away” and “Back Door Santa,” he performed with the fervor of a backwoods preacher and the bawdy humor of a juke joint

1211

Claudine Longet, Singer-Actress Who Shot Skier Spider Sabich, Dies at 84

Married to Andy Williams, she recorded pop albums and starred with Peter Sellers in ‘The Party’ before being convicted of criminally negligent homicide.

1212

My second score this week! Actor David Burke has passed away at 91.

9 points. Moving on up.

1213

There’s a “Stroking” joke in there somewhere…

1214

That will move you up to 59th, ahead of Lord Feldon, and put you on the inside track (for now).

1215
1216

Or not.

Hold those 9 points.I cannot find any other confirmations of David Burke’s death and his death listing is deleted now from the Wikipedia list (though his individual page says he is still dead).

This seems like a mystery for some great detective and sidekick to solve.

1217

Sam was the son of William Sianis, perpetrator of the infamous Billy Goat Curse against the Chicago Cubs.

1218

So David Burke did pass away, but it was back on May 10th.

I will now take those 9 points.

1219

That curse was exorcised when the Cubbies won it all in 2016. I’m glad that he lived to see that.

1220

J. C. Louderback, longtime Kansas high school teacher, coach, and official passed away on May 7 at the age of 91. While he was locally renowned for both his teaching and coaching skills, there was nothing particularly noteworthy in his life that would grant him celebrity status. Except, that is, for one football game in 1990, in which he was the referee.

1221

I will confess there was a time when I wished him dead.

SunUp, Georgia Tech class of '91.
