I remember Merle. I had tickets to a Willie Nelson/Merle Haggard concert in Enid but he passed just before the concert. Went anyway; Willie was, to be kind, disappointing.

I saw them both in concert at separate events many years ago. Pretty sure I would not want to see a Willy concert anymore. I still like his music but it would not be as I recall from years ago so I prefer to keep the memories of what it was.

Ms. Thatcher was not cast very complementary in Netflix series The Crown.
Speaking of which, just review the life of Queen Elizabeth for a few minutes. Holy Cow! That lady has seen everything.

Margaret Thatcher was also known as "Atilla the Hen". Not particularly respectful, but amusing in a sophomoric way.

Thanks for reporting this news. It’s a big deal.
The guy was one of the last surviving persons who fought in WW2.
