      I may be small, but I'm slow.

      A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

        • John McFee dead from an apparent suicide.

          I wonder if his deadman's switch will now be triggered...

            I’ll bet he has a whale of a tale to tell.

                  The fact that her death is noticed, makes me think that that the world is better that she didn't just remain a married, sober LDS sister.

                      nope, still have no idea who she is

                      Biz Markie on the other hand is still alive despite reports to the contrary. Unfortunately he is said to be on hospice.

                                I read his obit. Interesting life. All his brothers, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-great fathers all rabbis. He became one also, and then quit right after his father died.
