I heard that this morning, and learned she's from Seattle.
Learning learning learning.... It just never ends!

I thought Ms. Channing had been dead for a few years.
Re: Newman We just lost our oldest WWII vet a few days/weeks ago.

For a classic pieces, find "Rowan and Martin's Laugh In' episode where Carol Channing and Goldie Hawn celebrate a song called "Blonds" written by Billy Barnes.
Yes, she is better known for Hello Dolly. But she was always a classicly entertaining performer. |

Retired Air Force Col. Joe M. Jackson, a Medal of Honor recipient, a veteran of three wars and Air Force legend, has died. Jackson, a native of Newnan, Ga., was famous within the aviation and special operations community for his daring rescue of a team of Air Force combat controllers who were stranded at the besieged airfield of an abandoned Army Special Forces camp during the Tet Offensive.
His exploits saved the lives of three men, but risked his own, as the airfield had been the site of multiple U.S. aircraft shootdowns and aircrew fatalities over the past 24 hours. Although Jackson has passed, his exploits and the significance of the battle he took part in were recorded in the Southeast Asia Monographs, Volume V-7, at the Airpower Research Institute of Maxwell Air Force Base, as well as first-person accounts archived by the Library of Congress. Pause and give salute and prayer for this old warrior. He won't be featured on the news, but he was truly a legend. I'm attaching a copy of the famous artist rendering of the rescue.

Definitely worth a moments pause to consider.

Movie producer Andrew Vajna died today (Jan 20). He was 74.
Even if you've never heard of him, you've seen a bunch of his movies.

John Dingell. Longest ever serving Congressman. Succeeded by his wife Debbie. I was kind of skeptical about such shennanigans, but I'm a convert. Debbie Does Good. Pologirl and I heard her speak at the first Women's march here in AA and she was impressive. Wasn't a citizen with voting rights when john was our Rep, but locals and respected friends are mourning.

If you've ever toiled within or beneath your car with spanner and Haynes Manual to hand, you'll be sorry to hear of the death of John Haynes.

I've got about a dozen Haynes Manuals including, Heathrow Airport, The Moon, Apollo 11, Airbus A380, D-Day, London Underground, Flying Scotsman and the Cold War. Strangely I don't appear to have the VW Passat 1988-96 edition.

Who needs pictures when you have a Haynes manual?
It comes with pictures.
