That's a tenuous connection at best. I had to look it up.

Actually, for this old bod, 2016 was quite a bit better than 2015. That one's going get written off as a "lost year", or at least the entire second half.

This is more for the easternward members of the forum but Graham Taylor ex-England Manager and successful player and club Manager has died aged 72 from what is suspected as a heart attack. Try any of the major news sites for the story. 2017 starts early doesn't it.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.

Well it looks like 2017 will be just as bad or worse for deaths of the famous.
Mary Tyler Moore died today at the age of 80. She will be missed.

The grim reaper has certainly sharpened his scythe and slashing with a vengeance.
Mary Tyler Moore and now John Hurt.

Mike Connors, who portrayed "Joe Mannix" was 91 years old.

We also lost Barbara Hale, who played Perry Mason's secretary Della Street. She was 94 years old.

This year IS starting out in a bad way. Too many actors and actresses,
that I grew up watching, are now in the theater of the sky.

I recently looked at a thread about celebrity deaths. It was commented that we start to take notice when the celebrities of our youth begin to pass away. The ones we watched, that is, and at the time these were generally the younger celebrities.
