I hope he found that lost shaker of salt. I never hear of anyone saying they disliked seeing Jimmy in concert. RIP

Mine too. Kelly Slater posted a very touching tribute on his FB page today as did Hillary Clinton. They were good friends. Fair winds, Mr. Buffet.

And Bill Richardson, former governor and high-level hostage negotiator, has died at 75. These guys are less than ten years older than me. https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2023/09/02/bill-richardson-dead/

Yeah, when i read local or well known people's obituaries that list ages first...i have this brief fleeting moments of "old". Until i realize im 70.
even those just 80..kind of hit home.

There are 12 first cousins on my dad’s side. At the holidays, they divided us by age for seating. Anyone younger than my brother sat at the kid‘s table. My brother is 81, so anyone younger is a “kid” as far as we are concerned.

I just read he had been on hospice. Poor guy, way too young.

Yeah, I’m having a reality check here too, they’re 10 years older than me. Although the US Social security administration says my life expectancy is 21 years (obviously an average).

We have several sculptures on our local campus. The Botero is so memorable. RIP

Fernando Botero, Artist of Whimsical Rotundity, Is Dead at 91
His voluptuous figures, both in paintings and in sculpture, portrayed the high and mighty as well as everyday people through an enlarging prism.

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Jim Croce's death when he was killed in a plane crash leaving the airport in Natchitoches Louisiana. That was in 1973 right after his concert at Northwestern University.
This is from an article published by NOLA.com. Jim's wife, Ingrid, received a letter 4 days later after his death.

There will also be a tribute celebrating his life tonight at the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in Natchitoches.

I think every girl at my school had a crush on him when he was in Man From UNCLE. And all the boys wanted to be cool like him.
TBH I didn't even know he was in NCIS until I saw the obituary stories today. Man From UNCLE is his classic show IMO.

I totally remember seeing Jim Croce live at the Schaefer Music Festival in Central Park in the early 70's. It was memorable; lots of Bic lighters.Today marks the 50th anniversary of Jim Croce's death when he was killed in a plane crash leaving the airport in Natchitoches Louisiana.

Oh Ducky!
I loved him on NCIS. Was surprised to hear that he was Illya Kuryakin from my father (LOL). I remember when Kate (Sasha Alexander) asked Gibbs (Mark Harmon) "What did Ducky look like when he was young?" to which Gibbs replied "Illya Kuryakin"
He was also in the "Great Escape" with Steve McQueen. The gossip was that co-star Charles Bronson "stole" Jill Ireland, who was McCallum's wife at the time.
RIP. What a great career.

Me too.
I am watching the first episode of NCIS right now. Started watching and was enjoying Ducky's antics. He was so much younger than on his more recent appearances that his hair still reminded me of his cute haircut on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - so I was reminiscing. (How strange is that.)
On the commercial break I decided to check out FSU and saw the sad news. Unbelievable he was about 70 when NCIS made its debut in 2003. He looked much younger. RIP to one of my first TV-actor crushes.

Every girl I knew had major crush on Illya aka Ducky aka David.
Honestly I was allowed 90 minutes of TV watching when I was in junior high school - Man from U.N.C.L.E was mandatory watching.

David McCallum will always be Illya Kuryakin to me, though I did enjoy his work on NCIS. What a rich long life he had, I'm very saddened that he passed away.
