Betty Hutton, just about my all time favorite entertainer passed away yesterday at age 86. Would one of you computer whizzes please post her obit? And maybe a better picture. There is a great one of her as Annie Oakly, but I can't resize it to fit Clubhouse peramaters.

Oh, I found quite a few pix where she looks goofy, but that Annie Oakly pix shows her sweet, sweet face. That's why I'd sure like that one posted if you can find it.

All the old great ones are slowing fading into the past. One day, sooner than we'd like, we'll be following them.

ATKINSON, N.H. (AP) - Brad Delp, the lead singer for the band Boston who killed himself last week, left behind a note in which he called himself "a lonely soul," according to police reports released Thursday. The note was paper-clipped to the neck of Delp's shirt when police found his body at his Atkinson home, on the bathroom floor, his head on a pillow. He had sealed himself inside with two charcoal grills; toxicology tests showed he had committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. "Mr. Brad Delp. J'ai une ame solitaire. I am a lonely soul," the note read. Delp joined Boston in the mid-1970s and sang two of its biggest hits, "More than a Feeling" and "Long Time." He was cremated Wednesday, after a private funeral earlier in the week. His fiancee, Pamela Sullivan, called police March 9 after noticing a dryer vent tube connected to the exhaust pipe of Delp's car. In the garage, police found a note taped to the door leading into the house. "To whoever finds this I have hopefully committed suicide. Plan B was to asphyxiate myself in my car." In another note on a door at the top of the stairs, Delp cautioned that there was carbon monoxide inside. "I take complete and sole responsibility for my present situation. I have lost my desire to live," he wrote. The note also included instructions on how to contact his fiancee: "Unfortunately she is totally unaware of what I have done." Police later found four sealed letters in an office addressed to Sullivan, his children, their mother, Micki Delp, and another couple whose identity was not disclosed. Police Lt. William Baldwin said police gave the letters to family members without reading them. Sullivan told police that Delp "had been depressed for some time, feeling emotional (and) bad about himself," according to the reports. He had planned to marry Sullivan this summer during a break in a tour with Boston. A lifelong Beatles fan, Delp also played with the tribute band Beatle Juice.

That is so sad. To think he planned every detail and left notes and letters, so great was his determination to end his life! I cant even imagine how awful he must have felt.

If you burn charcoal on an grill inside with windows closed you can die.. people will bring in grills or hibachis for heat and die accidentally.. guess he used the technique on purpose

i am so confused. how can a man profess to be a lonely soul yet be engaged to be married? if you have someone, how can you feel lonely? i would assume he was battling selfdoubt and depression. how sad.

I would think that you could be surrounded by people and still feel all alone if you are suffering from some form of depression.

That's what I was thinking, too Mamie. Wouldn't that be clinical depression?

I think you can be surrounded by people and feel lonely even if you aren't suffering from depression. Being around people doesn't make someone not lonely.

But lonely enough to take your own life seems like it's a very deep thing.
