Oh wow, Ladybird! Yeah, Vee, just about anywhere in the USA you see a field of wildflowers along the interstates they are a product of Ladybird's campaign.

Texannie, I just had a funny thought after reading your post that highways are a lot 'prettier'. Wouldn't that predispose them to have been 'pretty' to begin with. Maybe, highways are a lot less 'ugly' because of her. LOL

What a great southern lady! I was talking to a friend last night who is a respected Dallas historian regarding the JFK assassination and we agreed that a wealth of secrets is forever gone also.

SM, we covered Charles Lane's death on the 10th. I don't think many would recognize him from the above pic; but it is interesting to see what he looked like as an older man. I posted one higher up when he was in his hayday and everyone remembered him.

The weird thing is that he always looked old. In that pic he looks ancient. Sad how aging affects us...

MameB, you are right. Isn't it funny how some people look old when they are young. I've even seen one or two healthy kids who had such grown up looking faces it was spooky.

Well at 102, I think it is well beyond aging and just amazing! Sorry, didn't realize I was out of date. It just appeared in the paper yesterday.

So sad about Tammy, but happy she is no longer in the pain that she was in and now is at peace. Crazy, she was just on Larry King Thursday, which was just taped Wed. She was very thin, and sickly. But did not look to me like someone who would not make it to the end of the week. She must have known in her heart since it was her that requested the interview. I am happy she got to speak to the world one more time before she left.

Pamy, same here. I didn't really know her at all until the surreal life. I did appreciate her faith and I'm glad she's no longer in pain. God Bless her.

I agree with all of you here. I loved Tammy on the Surreal Life and grew to admire her faith, compassion, and strength. R.I.P. Tammy.

i realize that 90% of you won't know who this is. but this is important to the people of the SF Bay Area. today, Pete Wilson, KGO anchor, died of a heart attack. He was always a straight shooting, no nonsense anchor. prayers for his family.

landi, Justin just told me about it. He really is a big part of the bay area. My heart goes out to his family. My heart also goes out to Tammy Faye's family. I know that she is at peace with her God.

I always thought she was a ditz til I saw her on that celebrity reality show and she was such a kind lady, nonjudgmental, and fun. I still think what the PTL (she and her ex) did was heinous, but no different than many(most) tv evangelicals, they just did it 'better' - til they got caught. But as I said, my opinion of her did a 180, and I think she will be sorely missed by many. She was definitely more than just someone with too much mascara, she was a class act.

I'm just sitting here still thinking about the death of Pete... My first response was just shock, I've been real busy the past two days and the last I knew was of his upcoming surgery... But now I'm sitting here just thinking about him, his family... I must admit, I'm a talk radio junkie.. I never miss his show..and if I cant listen on a certain day I go straight to the archives and listen in the evening.. for my own selfish reasons I'm trying to think who could ever fill his 2 to 4 timeslot.... I just went to the KGO website and they have his last Monologue from his Wednesday show and I listen to the fear in his voice of his upcoming surgery... It broke my heart... I feel like I lost a family member... I will truly miss his voice.... : Shortcut to Monologue: http://www.kgoam810.com//Article.asp?id=443671&SPID=3210

Chewpito, listening to that monologue was chilling. Can't help but wonder how much that anxiety played a part and had he been able to get that under control if things would've been different. If...a nasty little word. My sympathies to all who feel as if they've lost a dear friend. I watched the Larry King clip with Tammy this week after Tish posted it. Even though her body was spent, her spirit was glowing. It's a blessing to know that she is safely home.
