    Another group of three???
    Weird!!!

    I too was pretty sad about Farah. I had that famous poster on my wall when I was about 10 years old. She was my first poster girl.

    Micheal Jackson just shocked us again. I bet he was really pushing himself to get ready for the shows he was planning. I wasnt a big fan but, its still sad. Now there will be 24 hour all network news coverage in the next few days. I hope someone in the media will keep an eye out toward Iran.

    Wah...ok, which millionaire is next?

    I'm sorry, I don't know any of these people, although I've heard of all of them.


    I feel bad for Farrah, as we've all known too many people who have suffered with cancer.

    Michael, Ed? Gee, that's a difficult one. Two more millionaires that led lavish lifestyles and then they died. What's the sad part? It's the end of an era, and it's a reminder that we're all getting older and one day closer to death, but I really won't mourn them.

    Ed McMahon: Served with distinction

    It's worth noting that Ed McMahon's life includes one truly heroic chapter:
    During World War II, McMahon was a fighter pilot in the United States Marine Corps serving as a flight instructor and test pilot. He was a decorated pilot (six Air Medals) and was discharged in 1946, remaining in the reserves.

    After college, McMahon returned to active duty . . . He was sent to Korea in February 1952. He flew unarmed OE-1 Bird Dogs on 85 tactical air control and artillery spotting missions. He remained in the Marine Corps Reserve, retiring with the rank of Colonel in 1966 and was then commissioned as a Brigadier General in the California Air National Guard.

    It's always sad to hear of someone's passing...

    Just sad all the way around! On top of all the hollywood deaths, yesterday we found out that an old friend of our family (from back when we lived in OH) passed away, she passed away about a year ago, we didn't know it, so when we found out yesterday, we were (and still are) shocked and very sad.
