Larry McMurtry. What a story teller...
G. Gordon Liddy
Love him or hate him, you know you could count on him.
He felt sure he was a target of assignation during the watergate fiasco. He knew just who to talk to. He asked that, if they were going to kill him they allow him to arrange it so his family was not in any danger.

On this day in 1980 Jesse Owens passed away. He was a winner of four Olympic gold medals in 1936.
On this day in 1993 Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) was killed in a firearms accident while on a movie set.
On this day in 2011 Mel McDaniel (country music singer) passes away at age 66.
Yes absolutely too young. He was a great American in every sense of the word. I remember hearing and reading about him when I was a kid.Jesse Owens was only 66 when he passed. Pretty young for a high level athlete.
