    It says milestones not gravestones! Almost all of these milestones are sad, bad news, mostly death after death after death. . Where are the weddings engagements and childbirths? I will provide a celebratory one


    90 and she still has her health, wit and humor!

    I read somewhere last year that he had cancer. Not like a new story. Just someone's account of having written to him back and forth and him mentioning it in one of his letters to the person. I don't even recall what it was I was reading. May have been one of those pocket stories or something about corresponding with killers in prison. I recall that and saying that he was apparently very exacting about people's spelling/grammar and wouldn't write back to them unless they were all correct.

    I'm surprised of his passing. His music was popular with the majority of music lovers.
