Also, there was a classical scholar from New Zealand, that died on Feb 18, whose name was George Cawkwell.
If his name wasn't pronounced 'Cockwell', it should have been. ___________________________________ The guy who coined the term 'global warming', helping start the biggest, longest argument in the history of mankind, died the 18th as well. Wallace Smith Broecker |

Gee, I wish you had been around to save me in 1959 when I bought those disgusting albums. I guess it was just lucky that someone else stole them from me 20 or 30 years later to prevent me from listening again. |

Aw man. I missed this one.
Character actor, that-guy-who-was-in-that-thing, Morgan Woodward died back on Feb 22. He played a recurring role on Dallas (the first one), and he also played the rifle-toting road gang boss with the mirrored sunglasses in Cool Hand Luke. If ya don't remember him, you'll know his face, he was known for his face. Attachment 66602 Attachment 66603 Dude was in everything on TV in the 70s. He guest-starred on Gunsmoke 19 times, more than anyone else but the regular cast. |

He famously appeared with Morecambe and Wise in a sketch in their show while he was principal conductor with the London Symphony Orchestra. Morecambe and Wise with Andre Previn. |

Generally the greater the effort not to laugh, the worse it becomes. I'm on my iPad at present which doesn't lend itself to posting links, but there's a Wikipedia article on 'corpsing' which sheds some more light on the subject. |
Thank You Ma'am.
