    RIP Brian Wilson

    So sad to see the great ones from my earlier years slipping away.
  3. Keep an eye on Helen Mirren
  4. Practiced what, packing his suitcase?
  5. My nephew spent several years working in Hollywood with a film crew and met a lotof famous actors…. Christmas Vacation… he said Chevy Chase was a total asshole disliked by all the crew. Nephew once parked by mistake in Chase’s reserved spot at the studio, and Chase burst into the office throwing a loud cussing tantrum…in spite of embarassed apologies. Blaze - Paul Newman was a fine & thoughtful gentleman who treated them all respectfully. (Shared a few lunch break sandwiches with him). During the cast party after the film was finished, the actress Lolita Davidovich who played Blaze Starr was all over my very shy nephew’s face, teasing him while covering him with wet kisses.
  6. Nah, he’s a very humble & religious gent.
  7. All of the above.
  8. I’ve driven through Granger dozens of times since the 1960s and have seen more activity in downtown Frame Switch.

  14. Maybe it’s the strong influence leftover from A&M’s longtime close association with Qatar…..
  15. He didn’t while he was still in the Army. He does wear it in civilian retirement so as not to frighten the squeamish.
  16. He was also an All-District football player at Taylor high school. I broke up with this gal after meeting the future Mrs. Brat two months after they had broken up.
  17. He is wearing a toupee to cover the severe burn scars all over his head. He was shot down while piloting his helicopter in Vietnam in 1968. It caught on fire, burning off his nose, ears, hair, and his forearm that he was holding over his eyes (saving his eyesight). He spent two years recovering through many surgeries at the Brook Army Hospital burn unit in San Antonio, with many months lying face down. Then many months more with his good arm strapped up by his head while a strip of flesh was attached to grow him a new nose. In spite of the severity of his wounds, he recovered well enough to remain in the Army, becoming a helicopter battalion commander and eventually retiring as a lieutenant colonel. Along the way he married a beautiful Army nurse, adopted a child who grew up & graduated A&M, becoming a nurse herself. Unfortunately his wife passed away a decade ago from an aneurysm. Their daughter got married and recently made him a proud grandfather who enjoys making the infant smile by singing military cadence songs (clean ones) to him. He is a true BAMF He and Mrs. Brat were a steady couple from their high school senior year until they broke up their last year in college. We are all good friends to this day.
