Thanks for the heads up, I hadn't heard that.  I'd guess he'd be in his 90s though.  Olympic medal winner in the late 40s.  I think his was one of only two football numbers the Razorbacks have retired.

Jim Thorpe, Jesse Owens, and Roger Bannister were the big names from the distant past when I was going thru school.   Bob Hayes, Bob Beamon, and Al Oerter were also legends by then.   I came in when Bruce Jenner, Steve Prefontaine, and Edwin Moses were the big names.   Bannister was one of the true legends.  Transcended time.

Stan Mikita, 78

Chicago Blackhawks legend and Hockey Hall of Famer.

Even though I back their rivals (St. Louis Blues), he was one of my favorites when I first started watching hockey.

Went back and watched some of his speeches in 2008.... Always kept it classy and he would have been a fine leader. Never personally attacked Obama and kept it straight to the political issues.  I honestly think had people in his corner not told him to pick Palin he would have kept the election very close in 2008 and who knows possibly won by a narrow margin. I know her vice presidential debate against Biden dropped McCain's ticket popularity some when it swung Independents more toward Obama. He may have not won the election with another VP, but I know it would have been closer at least.

And his brother did
And his sister did
And and daddy died young
Workin' in a coal mine.

Seriously though, his duet album with Gatemouth Brown has some great guitar playing on it.
