Wow. Talent runs deep in the McMurtry clan. I Quit fiction 20 years ago but have seen a couple of his movies.
His son, James is in my top 5 singer song writers. I don't think he's real popular but I think he's beyond great.
I guess the old man could really turn a phrase? I sure know the son can.

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.
He said, tell me what street corner to stand at and what time!

Jesse Owens was only 66 when he passed. Pretty young for a high level athlete.

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.

On this day in 2005, Karol Józef Wojtyła passed away at age 84. His influence spread far and wide throughout the world. He was influential in the fall of the Eastern Bloc. His wit and ability to connect with people of all religions made him extremely popular all over the world. His reign lasted from 1978 until his death in 2005. He was better known to the world as Pope John Paul II.

I still remember when he came to STL in 1999.
It may have been the biggest day ever for St. Louis. What an event. A Pope in our city!
He was a great Pope.
