RIP The Rev. Billy Graham, dead at age 99. I remember shaking his hand when I was very young and my preacher Dad took me to a meeting that Graham was speaking at. I don't have a lot of warm fuzzies towards today's religious "leaders", but Graham is one whom I have never doubted his sincerity nor that he did what he did for the right reasons. www.wvtm13.com/article/evangelical-leader-billy-graham-dies-at-99/18542225R.I.P. He was no Joel Osteen. No, he was not.

Charles is the 6th of 11 primary M*A*S*H characters that are gone if my math is right. BF Pierce, Radar, HotLips, Klinger, and BJ still with us. Henry, Potter, Frank, Father Mulcaley, Trapper, and now Charles not around anymore. Plus Sidney and Col. Flagg (one of the best) also gone.

Just learned earlier today that former major league Sammy Stewart, who I played a year of juco baseball with in North Carolina, passed on Friday. Sammy was a tremendous athlete, and was a great pitcher. I had the good fortune of catching him during that year. He was a really fun guy to be around. Always laughing. In the end his demons got him. I last saw him right after he got out of prison back in 2013 and he was hoping to keep himself straight this time. RIP Sammy. www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseball/ct-sammy-stewart-dies-20180304-story.html
