I had a science teacher in middle school ('76 or so) who rocked that look. "Submarine" was somewhere in her nickname.

Wow...that is terrible news. RIP. From what I'm seeing on Twitter, he was absolutely beloved in the hockey community.

That’s what I’m seeing as well. 53 is far too young.

RIP country artist Lari White. I was wondering where I recognized her from....she is the actress that gives Tom Hanks' character directions at the beginning and end of Cast Away.

The only thing I read by her was A Wizard of Earthsea, and based on that book didn't feel like reading more. From all I know about her though, I kind of wish I could have met her in person. She seems like a force to be reckoned with.
