There must be something on social media that coughs up these ‘Soandso dead at age XX’ pieces on the anniversaries of their deaths. I got caught by that at the beginning of the year when my wife told me Donna Douglas (Ella Mae Clampett) had just died, and after Googling, I posted to the thread. (She’d died a year earlier.) I’m guessing she must’ve seen it on Facebook, where I only venture at gunpoint. ---
