The last Civil War widow has died
Who knew that a widow of a Civil War veteran was still around 155 years after the war ended? Helen Jackson never talked about her status, because of the enormous age difference. In 1936, she was 17 years old and married Union veteran James Bolin. He was 93 at the time.

Rest in peace, Hooks.

Neil Sheehan dies at 84.
I read A Bright Shining Lie, really opened my eyes at the time.WASHINGTON (AP) — Neil Sheehan, a reporter and Pulitzer Prize-winning author who broke the story of the Pentagon Papers for The New York Times and who chronicled the deception at the heart of the Vietnam War in his epic book about the conflict, died Thursday. He was 84.
Sheehan died of complications from Parkinson’s disease, said his daughter, Catherine Sheehan Bruno.
His account of the Vietnam War, “A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam,” took him 15 years to write. The 1988 book won the Pulitzer Prize for nonfiction.

I did the audiobook of ABSL. It wasn’t the book I thought I was going to get, but it was an interesting book nonetheless.

Filmmaker Michael Apted has died at age 79.
He did some mainstream drama and television, but he's best known for the 7 Up documentary series, which began in 1964 and interviewed 14 British children from all classes and regions of the country. There continued to be a new installment (following the same 14 people) every seven years until 2019's 63 Up.
I've seen most of the XX Up installments. It's fascinating to see whole lives documented together and in parallel, especially since it took place with an approach and (largely) in a world where being one of these documentary subjects did not make you a celebrity.

Siegfried and Roy Magician Siegfried Fischbacher Dead at 81
Just a few months after Roy.
Just a few months after Roy.
Siegfried Fischbacher, one half of German-American magic duo Siegfried and Roy, has died at the age of 81.
Fischbacher died Wednesday at his home in Las Vegas after succumbing to pancreatic cancer.
A malignant tumor was initially removed from Fischbacher in a 12-hour operation but it was found to have already spread in his body.
Fischbacher was released from the hospital at his own request and returned to his Las Vegas home where he was cared for by two nurses before his death.
Fischbacher's cancer diagnosis was reported just days before his death. He had reportedly been unable to see any friends or members of his family due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

I was sad to discover that Tim Smith of English progressive punk/art pop band Cardiacs died at the age of 59 on July 21st of last year following his second heart attack. He'd been very ill since 2008. I didn't know of them until several years ago, but their 2005 DVD recording of their 1983 track Jibber and Twitch touched me deeply and has become one of my favourite songs.

Well thats a shock. Had no idea she was not well. She always seemed so healthy and vibrant. She continues the trend of Babylon 5 stars to die young. Ill always remember her from Babylon 5 and Lost. Seems she knew it was coming. Rest well Mira. Thanks for the memories. Sad. She was born just a few months after my wife. Bless them both.
