Liz has Passed Away

Elizabeth Taylor, 79, my age, has passed away. She was a one of a kind, There are not many "stars" left.

When I was in the Navy, '52, a fellow sailor going through school with me was from Los Angeles, and told of seeing her on occasions, playing tennis, when all that he and his friends did was just stare at her. He said she would just really be working hard at the game, but all everyone else did was stare. He said she was just a normal teenager, but her beauty stopped you in your tracks.

Another one, my age, is gone, always makes me pause a bit and wonder .................
