Cant believe nobody mentioned Boston George...aka George Jung. More influential then almost any current cartel member with the introduction of cocaine in the 70s. Was funny to watch him charge mackerels to other inmates for him to say hi to someone on the phone. Was burnt out when he released in 2014.

Entire family was very talented at driving. Never cared for any of them. Pretty crazy in Albuquerque.

Lucinda Franks Morgenthau, a longtime reporter and writer who was once the youngest woman to win a Pulitzer Prize, died Wednesday evening after a long battle with cancer, her family said.
The Dutchess County resident and widow of Robert Morgenthau was 74.

Robert Morgenthau, who died 10 days before his 100th birthday in July 2019, was New York City's longest-serving district attorney, spending 35 years in the role in Manhattan. He prosecuted some of the city's most high-profile cases and served as the inspiration for a district attorney character on the popular television show "Law & Order."
They were married from 1977 until his death, and had two children together.
They would often spend their weekends on Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction, a family-owned farm begun by Robert's father, Henry Morgenthau Jr., in 1913, and now run by Henry's grandson and Lucinda's son, Josh Morgenthau.
"She loved to walk through the woods there," said Lucinda's daughter-in-law, Emily Saul. "And it was a good place to write."

Rip Johnny. Last time I seen him on something he was in pretty rough shape maybe Alzheimers or something. He was showing his trick roping skills. But you could tell he wasn’t all with it.

The Rifleman was one of the best tv shows ever.

emembering Bill McCreary, pioneering journalist and former Ch. 5 anchor​

New York City
NEW YORK - Former Fox 5 anchor Bill McCreary was a longtime journalist New Yorkers trusted.

"He built Fox 5 The 10 O'Clock News," Good Day New York anchor Rosanna Scotto said. "He was respected. People believed what he had to say and he worked hard to give you the information that you needed."




McCreary began his career in 1960 at a radio station in Queens.

A decade later, he joined Channel 5 as the managing editor and anchor of Black News. He was promoted to co-anchor of The 10 O'Clock News one year later. Former Fox 5 anchor John Roland said he co-anchored the newscast with McCreary for about 10 years.


"The thing that really stands out in my mind about Bill, he never expected to be given anything. He always works hard for it," Roland said. "He was a man of integrity, a man of intelligence and very, very hard working."



McCreary was a former vice president at Fox 5 but he is perhaps best known as the anchor and executive producer of The McCreary Report. He interviewed newsmakers from around the world including President Bill Clinton, Nelson Mandela, Muhammad Ali, and Rosa Parks, the mother of the civil rights movement who in 1955 refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.

"He was a trailblazer," former Fox 5 reporter and anchor Lynne White said. "I don't think there were many Black faces in local news in New York City before he got there."

White said McCreary opened the door for many journalists.

"I remember him vividly pulling me into his office when I first got there and he said, 'I'm here to help — my credo is each one, reach one, teach one,' and that's who he was," White said. "He was always teaching and helping others."



In his distinguished career, McCreary won several awards including an NAACP Black Heritage Award and two Emmys.

Former New York Rep. Charles Rangel called McCreary a pioneer.

"He was so charming and had so much charisma, we just didn't look at him as a reporter that was out to ask awkward and embarrassing questions," Rangel said. "But more often than not, you found yourself telling him everything he wanted to know."

Bill McCreary died in April after a long illness. He is survived by his wife of 62 years, O'Kellon.

Norman Lloyd - Wikipedia

Norman Lloyd (born Norman Perlmutter; November 8, 1914 – May 11, 2021)[1] was an American actor, producer, and director with a career in entertainment spanning nearly a century. He worked in every major facet of the industry including theatre, radio, television and film, with a career that started in 1923. His last film, Trainwreck, was released in 2015, after Lloyd had attained 100 years of age.

In the 1930s, he apprenticed with Eva Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre and worked with such influential groups as the Federal Theatre Project's Living Newspaper unit, the Mercury Theatre, and the Group Theatre. Lloyd's long professional association with Alfred Hitchcock began with his performance portraying a Nazi agent in the film Saboteur (1942). He also appeared in Spellbound (1945), and was a producer of Hitchcock's anthology television series Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Lloyd directed and produced episodic television throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. As an actor, he appeared in over 60 films and television shows, with his roles including Bodalink in Charlie Chaplin's Limelight (1952), Mr. Nolan in Dead Poets Society (1989), and Mr. Letterblair in The Age of Innocence (1993). In the 1980s, Lloyd gained a new generation of fans for playing Dr. Daniel Auschlander, one of the starring roles on the medical drama St. Elsewhere.
