Yet More Recent Deaths

Ted Kennedy (1932-2009)

You can’t deny his iconic statues, one of a very small numbers of senators who will be remembered a hundred years from now.

Army Archerd (1919-2009)

Legendary Hollywood columnist, great name too.

Frank Batten (1927-2009)

Founder of The Weather Channel, I enjoyed his guest appearance on the Dennis Miller Show a few months back.

Larry Gelbart (1928-2009)

That guy in the M*A*S*H credits who you may have confused with a local weatherman.

Patrick Swayze (1952-2009)

I admit I was never much of a fan as I’ve seen very little of his work, but his unique supporting part in Donnie Darko legitimizes him for me.

Mary Travers (1936-2009)
