Thanks for unlocking this thread again.

At the risk of hijacking does anyone know what happened to the CFB thread? I got home from a game Saturday night to seemingly find that thread had passed into the great beyond as well.

My mom always said that Redford reminded her of my dad, especially when both were younger. What an icon that guy was. RIP

Redord's peak was seemingly before my time, but I've heard he was the Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt of his era.

Rip amazing architect, Nicholas Grimshaw at 85. Pioneer of 60s/70s hi tech, while also a master at humanizing it. Felt like everything he did was something that needed to be in a scifi movie about the future.

Ricky Hatton

 

[BobbyLayne]

Ricky Hatton

More than a week ago and still no direct statements from police or family. He was known to be suicidal since he retired, struggling with alcohol, depression & drugs. Was supposedly in a good place since he started training again. Local police said “the death is not believed to be suspicious” & I think we just have to respect his family’s privacy beyond that.

Not saying this was that….but I’ve lost a few friends, and at least two of them were fronting ‘til the end.

See my post above.

I recall having him on many a fantasy football team. Check in on your friends, especially ones you know that struggle from time to time.

George Hardy, last of the Tuskegee Airmen's World War II combat pilots, dies at 100

Hardy, a lieutenant colonel, became the youngest Tuskegee fighter pilot at 19, and was among the first Black military pilots in the United States.

www.nbcnews.com

Lt. Col. George Hardy, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen and the last of the group's World War II combat pilots, died Tuesday night, according to Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. He was 100 years old. “His legacy is one of courage, resilience, tremendous skill and dogged perseverance against racism, prejudice and other evils, said Leon Butler, national president of Tuskegee Airmen, Inc. “We are forever grateful for his sacrifice and will hold dear to his memory.”

At 19, Hardy became the youngest Tuskegee fighter pilot when he completed the Army Air Corps pilot training program in 1942, earning his wings and a commission as a second lieutenant. He was among the first Black military pilots in the nation. Hardy flew 21 missions over Germany during World War II and also served in the Korean War and Vietnam War.

The U.S. military was segregated during World War II and created what was then called the Tuskegee Experiment to test whether Black Americans could command and maintain complex aircraft in battle. Nearly 1,000 Black pilots completed training and earned their commissions. More than 300 served overseas during the war. Thousands of support personnel, including women, who were also part of the so-called experiment also earned the right to call themselves Tuskegee Airmen, serving with distinction and ultimately helping to integrate the military.

I love the story included in that link too that the Jane Goodall Institute was prepared to sue over it, but when it was brought to her attention, she said that she found it hilarious and then wrote a foreword for a Far Side book.
