George Foreman

I saw an interview where he talked about the grill. He was making insane money. Like, are there really that many people grilling in the world money.

RIP big George.

Kitty Dukakis:

“I hope readers won’t miss Katharine Seelye’s moving obituary for Kitty Dukakis, the former first lady of Massachusetts. Dukakis suffered for years from depression and substance abuse — and then dealt with her challenges with a degree of courage and openness that made her an inspiration. What I didn’t know was that she was also an extraordinary humanitarian. One paragraph from the obituary grabbed me by the throat:

She worked with the Lutheran Service Association to bring children out of refugee camps and into foster homes in the United States. At one point in the early 1980s, she went to a refugee camp on the Thailand-Cambodia border to search for a missing orphan whose sister lived near Boston. When a Thai colonel would not let her into the camp, she dropped to her knees and begged; he relented. She found the boy and reunited him with his sister; he later earned a full scholarship to Brandeis University.

Condolences to the Dukakis family. May her memory be for a blessing, too.”

Today we're going to a Celebration of Life For Wes Burns. Long time friend of Jerry's. Lost to a very long and hard battle with cancer. Wes is the man on the ropes on the cover of High Climbers and Timber Fallers. Very sad.

 

[Dave Shepard]

Sorry to hear this. After reading Jerry's stories, you felt like you actually knew some of these people.

 

[flushcut]

Give Jerry a hug from me if you would please.
