To those no longer with us....

Dave Parker, 74. As a Phillies fan, I wasn’t always happy to see him come up to bat for the Pirates, back when both teams were good and in the same Eastern Division. But he was a great hitter and a good right fielder, plus he was a class guy. At 6’-5”, I think he just plain scared a lot of pitchers. RIP.

Who else remembers being introduced to this gentleman while watching "The Partridge Family" in the early 1970s?

Who can forget that early 1970s hair style.

Bobby Sherman, the singer and actor whose boyish good looks and sweet if unshowy vocals made him a teen idol in the overlapping worlds of television and pop music in the late 1960s and early 1970s, has died. He was 81.

...

RIP Bobby.

First concert my wife went to was Bobby Sherman and she still talks about it.

His father and uncle were Walt Disney's famous Sherman brothers songwriting team who brought us everything from Mary Poppins to It's a Small World. He got away from show business and became an EMT. Eventually he was a police captain in charge of all the emergency first aid and medical training for the Los Angeles Police Department. Being already well off he donated his paychecks to a benevolent fund. He had two sons and six grandchildren. Just one of those guys that was almost too good to be real.

And my hair was very close to that in the summers when school was out.

I've always been grateful that school said we couldn't go below our ears thus preventing any record from being in my yearbook. Several times I sat in Merle's barber chair, you remember my barber, Merle? And he'd raise it to where my ear lobe was on display. That was always followed by a cough and a laugh and a look at the floor with "Looks like somebody sheared a dog in here." A few years of youthful rebellion from when Dad kept me looking like a tennis ball. You can thank Ronald Reagan for making it hip to be square later on.
