A twofer of 60's classics today. Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary, and Henry Gibson from Laugh In, both 72, both victims of cancer.
The local Pagan community also lost another member last night, Marge, a talented artist and potter, who finally succumbed to inflammatory breast cancer. Her condition was diagnosed by my friends (both old HS girlfriends, actually) Liz and Brenda who were visiting at the Pagan festival a few years ago. They're both nurses, Brenda an oncology nurse, and when Marge found out, she asked them to examine her. They nailed the diagnosis, but her survival was much longer than normal.
Been a damned bad week mortality wise.
