Rene Robert passed away after a heart attack. One of my favorite players on the Sabres when I was a kid. That leaves Gilbert Perreault as the only one left from the French Connection line.

Don Cherry's bull terrier Blue hated everyone.... except for Rene Robert apparently. He played for grapes in Colorado. RIP, Rene.

Donald Rumsfeld passed away yesterday.

If you remember, anytime he spoke, he had a bunch of troops behind him. I probably mentioned before that I saw him speak once when I was stationed at the Pentagon. As I walked into the auditorium, and a civilian lady told me to go up to the stage. She wouldn't let me talk her out of it. They seated me to the left of the podium and right behind the 2nd highest ranking generals from the Army and Marine Corps. There were several cameras to the front and right of Rumsfeld, so I had to be in the background of any photo taken, but I never did find the pictures from that speech.

he went off to the great unknown unknown.

This was an incredibly powerful man. How much he wielded that power for personal gain is the question, and I guess if you research it enough you could likely draw your own conclusions.

I’m remember a press conference near the beginning of the war. Reporter asked him about a recent air strike; strategy/tactical reason, whatever. Without missing a beat he said the purpose of the airs strike was to kill as many of the enemy as possible. I chuckled.

Richard Donner, 91.

And was apparently planning to make a fifth Lethal Weapon movie up until the very end, because he was just that badass.

I didn’t realize his output had dropped off in the last two decades. Only directed two movies in this century, the last one in 2006.
He was an executive producer on two of the X-Men movies, but not any of the others. Weird. I wonder if he had a first offer as a director clause somewhere, but got an EP credit even if he passed on the directing job.

Eternal Padawan credit?
