Larry McMurtry. What a story teller...

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.

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.

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.

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.
