Mercury Morris, 1972 Dolphins, along with Jim Kiick, Larry Csonka, and Bob Griese. Only undefeated team in the NFL. I was there, in Coral Gables, FL, probably 10-11 years old. RIP

Dikembe Mutombo... eddiememphis was in Seattle, I was in the stands for games 3, 4, and 5. McNichols Arena. The place went wild. All three games. I still have the towel they gave out at one of the games... 5287.2 feet in elevation.

John Ashton also just passed. Probably most famous for the role of Sgt. Taggert in Beverly Hills Cop but I also thought he was great as Marvin the bounty hunter in Midnight Run. He also lived in Ft. Collins. I had the pleasure of first meeting him years ago when he testified at the state capitol at a committee hearing on a bill to give tax cuts to film productions. This state lost multi-millions in revenue by killing the bill, it would?ve more than made up the breaks. A very nice guy.

RIP John Amos.

So long James!

Teri Garr. 79

She was John Denver's wife in "Oh God". I saw that as a little kid at the theater in Grand Lake.

She was on Star Trek as well.

Loved him on "The West Wing."

"I'm an admiral in the US Navy, and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Beat that with a stick."

And who can forget her role in Young Frankenstein? RIP

She was a very versatile actress...I thought that she was younger than 79, not that 79 is old.

She will be missed, and did someone mention Young Frankenstein?

My first exposure to Teri Garr was in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Had a bit of a crush on her.

Very good actress. R.I.P.

And who can forget her role in Young Frankenstein? RIP

Oh God with George Burns? I loved that movie.

Bishop was just fifteen in 1959 when he paid $450 for a two-and-a-half-acre parcel of land at 9,000 feet in the San Isabel National Forest, just outside the tiny town of Rye.

An ironworker by trade, the Pueblo resident labored on weekends, mostly singlehandedly on what was intended to be a small cottage. More than five decades later it stands about 165 feet tall, boasts stained glass windows and is topped by a metal dragon that can breathe smoke from a woodstove inside.

“Without cranes, without money, without a rich daddy. By hand. High school dropout. I work for a living. I paid as I went. No bankers, no loans, no blueprints, no inspections. A place of freedom. A fight for freedom,” Bishop said in a NPR interview in 1994.

It has been described as "authentically dangerous," by more than one visitor.
