I was just checking out my side bar links and clicked on ‘Drawn!’. Their top story was the passing of artist Charley Harper. Many of his whimsical drawings were made into cross stitch charts like this (which I own):

Last week a fellow high school alumni, but in the class above me (1976) passed on. Milton was neighbor of mine and was a talented student with tons of personality. His mom is a gem who always stopped to talk to you and show an interest in your well being. So my mom read that he was in shows with Merv Griffin and movies like ‘Prince of Tides’ (with Barbra Streisand). I didn’t know this. He was also in Paul DiMeo’s class (Extreme Makeover: Home Edition). Milton hadn’t been in movies since ’92.
I was sad to read about these talented people passing on.
