 Huey Long, 105, American singer (The Ink Spots). George Edward Wahlen, 84, American soldier, Medal of Honor recipient. # David Carradine, 72, American actor. Bert Bank, 94, American radio pioneer and politician, Bataan Death March survivor. Shirley Jean Rickert, 82, American actress (Our Gang).

Kind of morbid, but this year seems to have really taken a hit on some of our favorite and best...

Sam Maloof, woodworker.....................


Michael Jackson, (well, his bizzarre journey has ended)..........kind of a joke, but still sort of sad his life spiraled out of control into what it had become.

I didn't have any posters, but the "Angles" were center fold in magazines like Chatelaine in their day. ;D

Darrell ( Shifty) Powers.  To me, M J was famous, but I would never consider him in the same class as the other great ones mentioned.

Any chance of "greatness" for MJ passed by the time he reached puberty.
