Perhaps I Notice These Because I’m Older…

Sigh. Even more obituaries…

Tom Poston. Wonderful, wonderful underplayed actor, especially when paired with the likes of Steve Allen or Bob Newhart. Married to Susanne Pleshette.

James Cleary. Former president of CSUN, who had the vision to turn lowly San Fernando Valley State Teachers College into the California State University, Northridge of today. Signed my wife’s diploma.

Tommy Newsom. “Mr. Personality” on the Johnny Carson Tonight show, but quite an acclaimed saxaphonist.

And a non-obituary…

I-880. A representative of the firm hired to repair the I-880 ramp at the damaged MacArthur Maze said today that preliminary findings suggest the connector will not have to be rebuilt. Good news for those in Oakland.
