Well, he ain’t dead yet, so do whatever you gotta do.
You can do it here or by PM, either is fine.
I’m glad, as I’ve had to say before, that I have you folks checking on me. Madrid died back in April and somehow I’d missed the announcement in this thread
On Christmas Eve, one week before the end of the year, I will post a list of current standings. I hope you will look them over to make sure everything is in order, before the last week.
Colleen Walker, Former golfer on the LPGA and winner of LPGA tournaments including one major, has died at age 56. Cancer.
I had her on my 2013 list.
Hugo Chavez suffers setback.
Gee, everyone will have him next year.
I won’t, unless he has a country music album under an assumed name somewhere.
He is a Sure Thing, while you are apparently hoping for Willie Nelson to be struck by a motor vehicle while playing on the road again.
How many times did they have to slide him back and forth before they found out he was dead?
Beep.
Well done, Sir, well done!
Sen Daniel Inouye dies at age 88.
Jack Hanlon of Our Gang/Little Rascals dead at 96.
Wonder if he was the last Rascal.
Robert Blake is still around.
In addition to Blake (then known as Mickey Gubitosi), none of those listed below have apparently died.
Also, here is an obituary for Inouye.
Dina Manfredini, whose stint as the world’s oldest living person lasted less than two weeks, has died at the age of 115. Manfredini is succeeded by Japanese man Jiroemon Kimura, who was born fifteen days after she was.
Just musing upon this, I realized she was already at retirement age when Kennedy was assassinated. Wow.
Robert Bork dies at 85.
The Swedish Chef is inconsolable.
Frank Pastore, who pitched for the Cincinnati Reds and Minnesota Twins during a baseball career cut short by an injury to his elbow, has passed away at the age of 55. Pastore had become the host of a popular religious radio talk show in Los Angeles. On what turned out to be his final broadcast, he mentioned the possibility of being killed while riding his motorcycle. That night, he was hit by a car on his way home, and died from head injuries about a month later.
I just read about Pastore in the paper and knew I’d heard the name before. Then I remembered. I used to eat at The Big Texan about 30 years ago. You get the 72 oz steak free if you do it in an hour. I’d read about some of those who’d accomplished the feat.
Frank Pastore did it 7 times, once in 9 1/2 minutes!!!
