Day By Day© by Chris Muir.Tuesday, December 28, 2004
Several notable persons have passed away lately:
Richard Beckman, a well-known sculptor, died at the age of 47 of an apparent suicide.
John Deardourff, political consultant to President Ford, died of cancer at the age of 61.
Hank Garland, very well-known guitarist, died at 74 of a staph infection. Mr. Garland played guitar with the likes of Elvis Presley, Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison, Patsy Cline, Charlie Parker, etc.
Jane Muskie, wife of the late Presidential contender Edmund Muskie, died of Alzheimer's disease at 77.
Samuel Roseberry, World War I veteran, died at the age of 106. He was awarded the National Order of the Legion of Honor by France for his service, even though he lied about his age so he could enlist.
Susan Sontag, activist and intellectual, died of leukemia at 71.
Doug Ault, former Toronto Blue Jay, died at 54 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
And the death toll from the earthquake/tsunami combo is now more than 52,000.
I think that's enough death for one day. I'll try to write something cheerful now.
