What A Hoot!
Dang! We TOLD you strange things were afoot and the next thing we know a WEEK disappears! Egad.
Okay, sit up straight and pay attention. We are going to do our ODDly level best to keep you abreast of recent departures with no tit-for-tat required on your part. And where better to start than with Robert Brooks, chairman of the Hooters Restaurant chain. Natural causes the coronor says did catch up with Mr. Brooks. A curious note in one article had that “Brooks, 69, was found dead Sunday by his wife and a neighbor after he failed to show up at their usual Sunday breakfast, Coroner Robert Edge said.” Um, where were the wife and neighbor before breakfast?
One of the Second World War’s top flying aces, Wing Commander Robert Carl ‘Moose’ Fumerton, died at Muskoka Landing in Huntsville last Monday at age 93. Between 1941 and 1944, Wing Commander Moose shot down 14 enemy planes, damaging one other aircraft. He was shot down twice and survived due to his own skillful flying ability.
Dave Walter, an author and Montana Historical Society research historian, died Wednesday night after suffering a heart attack earlier in the week. He was 63. Mr. Walter was well-known for his Speaking Ill Of The Dead: Jerks In Montana History book and recently published the sequel Still Speaking Ill of the Dead: More Jerks in Montana History.
And finally the big finish. In fact let us go out with a bang and bring you Dr. Nicholas Bartha and his solution to the division of property during a divorce. Somehow this reminds us of old westerns and pledging to die with one’s boots on.
(P.S. Oh yea, “Mickey Spillane” died too just in case you were off-planet last week.)
