I was at the pizza place near school this afternoon, having lunch with Nancy and a former student, and ESPN was on the TV. For some reason, maybe breaking news, they put up a card with picture and dates, and I was the only one who saw it. I sat there saying "No, no no no!" until they looked up, but by then it was gone.
I need to get a bunch of work done so I can watch The Sting tonight, and be sad. And wish even more that I'd got my arse to New York the other year to see him in Our Town. :(
I have to admit that the only movie I've ever seen with him in it is The Sting, and I remember not liking it a whole lot. But I admired his philanthropy tremendously, and we always heard about how generous he was to Kenyon. He seemed like just a really wonderful man.
