I loved Conrad Bain on Maude.

I read yesterday that the woman who called herself Abigail Van Buren (not her real name) died at 94 and had been suffering from Alzheimer's.  She had written the newspaper advice column "Dear Abby" for many years.  The column is now done by her daughter.

Country singer Mindy McCready died Sunday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.  She was 37.  Being a country fan, I remember her music as I did buy a couple of her albums.  She was once engaged to Dean Cain but then had a long string of problems including drugs and depression.  Her death occurred shortly after her boyfriend died under similar circumstances.  A very sad ending.

This happened back in January, but seems to have been missed, Jimmy O'Neill, host of ABC's Shindig! in the sixties.

Bonnie Franklin died this week from complications of pancreatic cancer.  She was 69 as I recall and was best known for her sitcom One Day At A Time.

Oh man ... I first saw him in 67.  What a great blues band and a wonderful guitar player.  This makes me very sad indeed
