Ronnie Tutt aged 83, drummer for elvis, go watch the suspicious minds live video to watch him kicking ass

 

[leedswolf]

Colin Powell, the first black US secretary of state, aged 84 years.

 

[Tony Towner]

Nearly ex Wolves manager Walter Smith has passed away. Always seemed like a good guy.

 

[Keef]

Igor Kirilov aged 89, he was the voice and face of Soviet media, reported on everything from Sputnik launch, to the fall of the Soviet Union, their equivalent of David dimbleby

 

[Papper]

Aaron Beck 100

 

[darlowolf64]

[Tony Towner]

Dean Stockwell

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Loved a bit of Quantum Leap back in the day.

 

[Tredman]

Al

 

[The Bear]

Loved him in QL.

 

[BillyDee]

Also remember him as Tony the Tiger (in Married to the Mob...).
Quantum Leap was fantastic, the ending was

 

[AndyWolves]

I don't remember the ending really, the theme tune was ace though

 

[BillyDee]

The ending started a bit weird...

 

But then it turns out Sam could choose where he leapt to, and that he actually could help out Al without breaking the timeline continuity, so there is a call back to when Sam met Al's first wife and he tells her to wait for him. Then, even though Sam could choose to return home, he doesn't, he keeps helping people...

FW de Klerk, the last white president of South Africa. A somewhat chequered legacy. Yes he released Mandela and brought South Africa to a semblance of true democracy but he was committed to apartheid for most of his career before getting the presidency. Being a bit better than Viljoen and PW Botha is not a high bar.

Baby steps though. Without those first steps you don’t get progress. Look at Gorbachev. RIP
