Well, you've read the notes, the notes bugged you, and now it is time for you to post until the bugged cows come home.
-
And the word of the day is: PARACLETE!
-
And a very happy haineshisway.com birthday cheer to former dear reader Hisaka!
-
I'm up!
Snarfleglatz!
Another round of Alka-Seltzer Plus for Colds is required...this time, the "night time" version."
This cold has me in its grips...and it's an ugly thing.
-
Few people know that in his original draft, Shakespeare's immortal words for "Richard III" were:
"A paraclete! A paraclete! My kingdom for a paraclete!"
It was, of course, considered too erudite a reference for the time...and the noble "horse" was decided upon, instead.
-
My nose is sore from tissue action.
-
I see I'm absolutely the only one on line right now.
Figures. Ready for a chat and all the chatters are napping.
But...my eyelids are getting heavier...so...perhaps...snflsxx........
-
Good morning, Danise! How's the weather?
-
Morning all! Rain, Rain and more rain is story here.
Rain in the morning.
Rain in the afternoon.
Rain in the evening.
It makes the grass grow so I can have something else to do like mow it. Sigh.
Happy, Happy Birthday to DR Hisaka!
-
Hi Ginny! Nice of you to join me on the bus! :)
-
Soothing nose vibes to DR Ron Pulliam!
-
I haven't been able to send vibes to DR Elmore and Dakota Celt. I do hope your family members are doing well.
-
Hi Ginny! Nice of you to join me on the bus! :)
You're on a bus, DR TPunk is either on (or about to get on) a plane, and I'll be getting in my car in about 45 minutes.
-
It's days like this that I am very glad I ride the bus. At least I don't have to worry about driving. I can sit back and relax no matter how hard it's raining.
-
We are a board on the move! I do hope everyone has a safe trip to where ever they are going!
-
I filled Kong with PB again last night and put them in the freezer. I gave them to Sheena and Bear just as I was stepping out the door. I have my fingers crossed that nothing will be torn apart when I get home this evening.
-
And I'm at my desk working and working and working. I'm looking forward to the Labor Day holiday. I will sleep late (for me anyway till about 8am) and eat like a small pink farm animal.
-
Good morning D and G!
-
And goodbye for now
-
Hi, Ben! I'm looking forward to the weekend, too. It's 4 days for me, because the holiday Monday would my day regular day off. Have to go to Tiffin, OH, Friday-Saturday on some AAUW business, but then it's 3 days of R&R.
-
I have to tell you all about the poor little dog I saw last night. I was going into the grocery store and there was a little mutt by the door who looked like he was very hot, thirsty and tired. Some lady said she had seen him down by one of the school which trust me was a very long way from the store.
I felt so sorry for it. I bought a couple of cans of dog food, a bottle of water and some pie tins so I could give him something to drink and eat then I was going to coax him into my car and take him to the vet. I would have paid the fee for the vet to take him/her and find him/her a good home.
The unhappy thing is that by the time I came out of the store, he was gone. I drove all around the parking lot and behind the store looking for him/her but alas, he/she was no where to be found. Poor little baby.
-
Hi and bye right back to you Ben!
Have a good day all--It's time for me to go. :(
-
Oh, Danise, that's too bad about the dog at the grocery store. At least your heart was in the right place.
-
Anti climatic. Uncle climatic as well.
Nothing happened. Storm petered out.
-
ask bk ? day.
This is for anyone.
I have this site on my favorites and yesterday for the first time next to the name instead of an "e" (i guess for explorer) there was a symbol of an CD. How does this happen and how do they know to put a cd icon as opposed to something else?
-
And the word of the day is: PARACLETE!
Feeling completely reverent, Sister Margaretta and Sister Berthe made a sculpture of the PARACLETE using nothing but CLEAR TAPE. It made Sister Sophia laugh.
-
PARACLETE: Part of the uniform worn by skydiving football players. Usually used in plural.
-
Did someone already post this Playbill article about the upcoming Kritzerland release of the next Alice Ripley/Emily Skinner CD?
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/101705.html
-
And on the same front page, a low-key but nice article about the Last Starfighter readings
http://www.playbill.com/news/article/101695.html
-
I quite like your little ode, BK.
-
DRs PennyO and Jane, more on conquering fear: Emmett Miller, MD, who specializes in mind-body medicine, produces a wide array of audio tapes on various topics, including one titled "Freeing Yourself from Fear." I have not heard this one myself, but I've used several of his other tapes and have found them very useful. See drmiller.com. His staff are also helpful about details not on the website.
-
Good morning, all! The body does not want to move today, and the mind is lagging as well. Perhaps it's been all the rain, perhaps I'm thinking about winter hibernation, perhaps I'm coming down with something, perhaps I'm giving in to my usual lazy instincts. All I know is, at 6:30 the alarm went off, and at 9:20 I decided to get out of bed, finish the choral arrangement for THE SINGING NUN, go to the post office, and if there's time, tidy up this dump.
Isn't PARACLETE a play by Shakespeare?
-
Thanks, Donald for another good radio show. I'm not generally a fan of ALW but there is something about Evita that I like. It was nice to hear all the different recordings, including Elaine Paige before she got so broad and forced.
-
Isn't PARACLETE a play by Shakespeare?
No, Lar, you're thinking of Parkeet ;)
-
Wednesday morning greetings, officially. DRs Ben and I "rode the bus" with Danise early this morning.
Question for BK: Is the Playbill item about the Skinner/Ripley recording the reason you'll be going to NYC later in October?
-
I got a code in by dose...oh...I got a code in by dose!
-
Punchy from meds...getting more conscious of congestion...have a weird sensation behind my eyes.
Staying home.
Resting.
Going back to bed now.
-
I've been listening to the CD release of KISMET with Dorothy Kirsten and the late, great Gordon MacRae. It doesn't hld a candle to the OBC, but I'm enjoying it immensely. While MacRae - who does both the Caliph and Hajj on the dsc - sounds as good as Alfred Drake, his attitude still strikes me as more of the juvenile Caliph role. Dorothy Kirsten, whose early career included productions of operettas like THE NEW MOON, was underused on recordings: a lovely soprano and great diction. The disc also includes studio names that always intrigued me: Bunny Bishop and Salli Terri!
-
No, Lar, you're thinking of Parkeet ;)
I thought Parkeet was a brand of margarine. :-\
-
The Randy Vicar and the Bunny Bishop? That's a story I'd like to hear!
-
I've never heard of Parkeet Margarine but I have heard of this
-
I just got an email from our DR Jose: he had a good rehearsal of the band last night, and there are more rehearsals to follow and adjustments to be made. He sounds cheerful and in good spirits. I'm sure he's exhausted as well.
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HISAKA!
I HOPE YOU HAVE A LOVELY DAY FILLED WITH ROSES.
-
Wednesday morning greetings, officially. DRs Ben and I "rode the bus" with Danise early this morning.

Well, THAT cat's out of the bag. It's what I've been alluding to, but I wasn't quite ready to announce yet. This morning I got a note from the guy at Playbill, asking for confirmation, but that article was obviously up before the confirmation was sent.
So, yes, that's the reason for the second NY trip in mid-October. We're very excited to be recording Al and Em again.
-
I said I was getting up early but I didn't mean quite THIS early.
-
And NY troupe, let's start planning a nice hainsies/kimlets official get-together for my first trip to do the Starfighter reading.
-
Jeanne-thanks for the info. I'll look into it.
Danise-Maybe some other kind sole beat you to rescuing the dog.
-
Good morning!
Already muggy and uncomfortable outside. Yuck! Rain and cooler temperatures arrive tonight and through Friday, but for now, it's still summer, and I'm not happy about it.
-
Happy Birthday to former DR Hisaka!
-
Last night, DR JRand wrote:
"I just watched CACTUS FLOWER - and one of its settings is Stereo Heaven "in the village" a record store where Goldie/Toni works. Lots of Capital albums....and all the underscoring in The Slipped Disk were instrumentals of Boyce/Hart tunes....."
My vaguest memory of the record shop scenes in the film is that at one point, you can clearly see the cast recording of MAME in the background! My kind of record shop! :D
-
Sorry to read of your cold, DR Ron. A summer cold is the worst, though, of course, living in cool northern California, it's not as hot there and thus maybe not as miserable as a cold in the deep South in summer.
Still, I know it's annoying and hope you get better soon.
-
Bruce will you be in NY on Oct. 3rd?
-
I am still SO delighted about getting THE YELLOW ROLLS ROYCE in a good quality copy yesterday. Though my birthday is still a few days away, I consider it a terrific birthday present from TCM. Thank you, Ted Turner!
-
TOnight I am looking forward to the season premiere of BONES, one of my favorite of last year's new shows.
However, I'm looking even MORE forward to Victor Garber's new series JUSTICE. He's supposedly playing a part miles and miules removed from the internally brooding Jack Bristoe on ALIAS, and the show has gotten mostly positive reviews from the ones I've read. Can't wait to see it.
-
Since the 10 p.m. hour is vacant on my schedule tonight, I'm thinkthe season finale of DEADWOOD will fit in that slot just fine.
That leaves this afternoon for something musical - perhaps the Chenoweth/LuPone CANDIDE that I had on tap over the weekend and didn't have on hand to play.
-
BODY DOUBLE is indeed an awful film, but I have to admit that it IS one of my guilty pleasures.
As for the best of De Palma. I think BLOW OUT is the best followed by THE UNTOUCHABLES and then MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, but I'd certainly NEVER call him a genius of the cinema.
-
Jane: I leave for LA on the 1st and then I'll be back around the 19th, I think, but just for a couple of days.
-
You're on a bus, DR TPunk is either on (or about to get on) a plane, and I'll be getting in my car in about 45 minutes.
I was just on a train. We've got planes, trains and automobiles covered. Any boaters out there?
-
Bruce, then I will see you in NY on October 3rd?
-
Off to read a little more in CENTER SQUARE and then think about what's for lunch.
WBBL.
-
Jane: No, I leave two days before you get there, if you're getting there on the third.
-
I was just on a train. We've got planes, trains and automobiles covered. Any boaters out there?
I talked to my brother this morning about sailing on his new boat....does that count?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR HISAKA!

Happy Birthday to Hisaka, wherever you are, Japan I bet.

ONE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR READER HISAKA!
TWO: ASK BK QUESTION - What ever happened to Elizabeth Hartman's career?
THREE: ASK BK QUESTION - Jerry Goldsmith's score for A PATCH OF BLUE: thumbs up or thumbs down?
FOUR: the new me (taken on Saturday afternoon):
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v305/minx_the_dog/family/

Brian DePalma is someone I liked a lot before I learned what a good director is.
His early, sloppy and fun films are enjoyable:
Greetings, Hi Mom!, Phantom of the Paradise (all with Gerritt Graham), Get to Know Your Rabbit (which I highly recommend to anyone; of course DePalma himself disowns it)
Then he started getting "serious" and his films are virtually unwatchable. The Fury, which has been on Fox a lot lately, is just such an unpleasant waste. Sisters, Dressed to Kill, man it is hard to find a likeable charcter or a shred of logic in any of these.
Body Double is at least entertaining despite making little sense.
Scarface, Casualties of War, The Untouchables, Snake Eyes... no thanks.
I see he directed an upcoming movie about the Black Dahlia. Should be bad.
-
TD looking slim in black.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v305/minx_the_dog/family/
I was a huge Elizabeth Hartman fan, based on A Patch Of Blue (especially), The Group, and You're A Big Boy Now. I gather she was not a happy person, and that affected her career. She had a sad end.
The A Patch Of Blue score is a big thumbs up - I've probably listened to it as much as any score ever.
-
I liked Carrie.
Mission to Mars put the "duh" in duh Palma.
-
Speaking of looking slim, perhaps I'd better jog now, since I have an eleven o'clock meeting.
-
A very happy birthday to Hisaka.
-
The Laserdisc player der B got via eBay jsut arrived.
What fun.
Now I get to go through all our boxes downstairs, to try and find all the discs we haven't replaced with DVDs.

Oh, let's see. . .
I like THE UNTOUCHABLES and SISTERS.
I really like CARRIE ("They're all going to laugh at you!") and PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.
I'm mixed on OBSESSION - though, it's interesting to hear Betty Buckley's disembodied voice once again. . .(she also did some voiceover work in PofP).
As for THE BLACK DAHLIA - I've been eagerly awaiting this film since I first read James Ellroy's novel many years ago, and long before L.A. CONFIDENTIAL. The DAHLIA milieu is much the same as that of LA CONFIDENTIAL, and early photos look as if the film captures that same look. Still, it has a director who is variable at best and a screenwriter whose last credit was Tommy Cruise's WAR OF THE WORLDS. . .Where are Curtis Hanson and Brian Helgeland when you really need them? ? ?
aside to dr rodzinski: ;)
-
Happy Happy birthday, DR Hisaka. I do miss the lovely photos...
Jeanne - thanks for the info. My second workshop is tonight... and, apparently, word has spread --people are signing up like a house afire! I'll make more copies of the Sunday night handouts for those new folks. Tonight we'll do a lot more actual writing -- beginning with the "How I Accomplished Something I'm Proud Of In The Past..." exercise which Cilla suggested!
It's finally raining a bit. The stream was as low as I've ever seen it - I had to move some rocks to get the water wand submerged a few days ago. But this morning it's running again, not fast, but chortling merrily over the rocks. This cat has become quite the little domestic pet. Yeah. Except for the furry gore I've been cleaning off the deck each morning...
BK - congrats on the new disc project. And many more.
Ron- maybe a cold is the only way your body has of slowing you down to rest? Hope you're feeling better after your nap. Oy.
That's it for now - gonna put together tonight's handouts, and figure out what I'm going to read on Saturday night... laters, gators!
-
That purse on the table isn't yours, is it?

I do like Victor Garber. But I don't think i will watch this new show. It just doesn't seem even remotely interesting to me. Although i really like to go through the Fall Preview tv guides before i finalilze what new shows i will try.
Does anybody know if that is out yet?

Greetings from the Local History Room, a library service point where I haven't worked for a very long time. They have a lot of people out sick, on vacation, days off, etc., and called on other departments for help. It's only an hour, so please send vibes that no one needs help until after 2pm EDT! Unless, of course, it's somebody like NPR's Noah Adams, who I helped at this desk once when he was working on his Wright Brothers book.
-
...sure is lonely here in Local History.
Is anybody there? Does anybody care? Does anybody see what I see?

They Want Me to Quit.
Actually, they don't. If I ever quit some people might be up the proverbial creek without a paddle.

Bye for now (until I get back upstairs to my desk)

I just had a lovely phone call from the mighty talented Brad Ross, who was interested to learn that our BK has his own site. I'm urging him to log on and join the madness.
-
I subscribe to TV GUIDE and the Fall Preview issue has not arrived as yet. Maybe next week or the week after.
-
Watched three very different shows on TV this afternoon.
I started with THE MUPPET SHOW with Mark Hamill. One of their lesser shows since Mark Hamill doesn't have much business being on a musical variety show. Of course, he was playing Luke Skywalker and C3PO and R2D2 were there as well as Chewbacca, so there were more skits than music this time around.
-
Next was the marvelous concert version of CANDIDE with Paul Groves and Kristen Chenoweth. Superb.
And how great to see John Herrera again whom I've had a giant crush on ever since seeing him in THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD and later on TV in ROMANCE/ROMANCE.
-
FInished the afternoon with the last episode of THE WILD WILD WEST on disc 6. (One more disc to go).
This one guest starred Don Rickles as a wily magician and Rhys Williams (a favorite) as the duplicitous mastermind behind the killings. Ann Elder played this episode's femme fatale.

Happy Birthday, DR Hisaka!
Yesterday, I bought myself a Wonder Woman piggy bank. I have no idea why. I saw it and felt I HAD to have it.
-
Just wanted to pop on and say I, haven't been on in a few days. Things down here in hickland are getting busy with high school football starting this friday, we air a stupid 15 minute show dedicated to it and I have to get all ready for that. I'm envious of all you who have the day off monday, we don't get holidays off (but we do get doublepay so I shouldn't complain) but I have to work 6 day workweeks from now through october, except for my trip to NYC! Anyway, back to the grindstone, hope everybody is doing good and happy birthday to anyone I missed.
-
Brad Ross knows I have a site. He's more senile than I am.
Have him join.
Back from morning meeting, which was very good, several errands (which were good), and now waiting for music fellow to come and finish going over the two new lead sheets for the two new songs, so we can get them to elmore. He wasn't quite finished when he was here yesterday.
-
We've had a soaking rain for the last 45 minutes. At least the thunder and lightning hasn't been severe. And I guess we need the rain. Glad I mowed the grass on Monday.
-
Off to clean the den, read some more about Paul Lynde's sad life, and then on to TV.
In honor of Paul, I'm thinking of watching NEW FACES on VHS this evening, at least until BONES comes on.

Matt...I don't suppose you (or anybody else) recorded "Romance/Romance," did you? I remember watching and taping this on A&E (when it was still "Arts & Entertainment TV"), but I have not been able to find my tape of it. Since I started boxing up all my videos, I've been trying to find certain ones, and that's one of the ones that I can't find. :'(
-
Oh god my cd player just died. How am I going to make it through the rest of my workday without music....
-
On some records I have that were my mom's, there are price stickers from a store in Hammond, Ind. called Millikan's, and their slogan is "Pick and Play Before You Pay!"

Funny, that used to be my slogan.

Ask BK Day (and everyone else):
Having read your opinion on BODY DOUBLE, I wonder what you would consider to be DePalma's best film?

I received an absolutely wonderful CD in the mail today from a very dear friend. I love it!

Well...it's official! I've signed papers to make an offer on a condo! Now, the seller has to either accept, counter-offer or totally decline. I just found out that the current asking price is less than the original asking price! She (the seller) dropped it because it hasn't sold! AND there are several other units in the same complex that have been on the market for a while as well, so I'm hoping that that's an incentive for her to accept my offer and just sell it to me!

Listened to different voiceovers.. The first one was garbled a bit due to deterioration of a vhs tape and the second day was a hair better and that one we could place the show. HE started appearing onscreen on SFT on Wednesday, January 25.

SFT?

According to CNN
Glenn Ford has just passed away.
-
Well, he certainly lived a nice long life, Mr. Ford did. A terrific actor.
-
Yes, he was...
-
According to CNN
Glenn Ford has just passed away.
He was still alive?? :o I thought he died a long time ago. :-\

DakotaCelt, DearReaderLaura and Cillaliz, thanks for the condo vibes and good wishes! ;D
-
I'm wondering if they will tell them before or after the first eviction....I'm guessing after. I hope Chicken George wins HOH, that would really shake things up
LOL! I agree! It will be interesting to see what occurs in the house!
-
Over the last few years I sort of started appreciating Glenn Ford.
-
James Whitmore is another actor I have only recently begun to appreciate.
-
I like James Whitmore

DR George: Crossed fingers on your offer for the condo!
Has anyone talked to you yet about a curious phenomenon called "buyer's remorse"?
It passes....so don't worry when/if it happens to you.
:D

Matt...I don't suppose you (or anybody else) recorded "Romance/Romance," did you? I remember watching and taping this on A&E (when it was still "Arts & Entertainment TV"), but I have not been able to find my tape of it. Since I started boxing up all my videos, I've been trying to find certain ones, and that's one of the ones that I can't find. :'(
I have a very grainy, very horrible taped-off-TV copy of that ROMANCE/ROMANCE. Reception was very bad that night on A&E, and I always assumed it would be back on again at a time when I could get a better copy. I never saw it appear again.
I know Singer or whoever the sponsor was sold a commercial tape of that show, but I waited for a rebroadcast (to save money), and it never happened.
Would be glad to dub you a copy on DVD-R, but believe me, the quality is really dreadful.
-
I slept a bunch of the afternoon away...and when I woke up, I felt crappy.
It occurred to me that, despite the fact I wasn't at all hungry, I hadn't eaten anything other than a slice of cantaloupe and a banana the entire day.
A bowl of split pea soup later I was almost a new man.
For supper: Stouffer's "Grandma's Old-Fashioned Chicken Rice Bake"...my favorite comfort food for such occasions.
-
I'm watching American Masters...Judy Garland
I love that program. Thankfully (and thoughtfully) Warners placed a copy of it on the second disc in the EASTER PARADE DVD set.
-
I read last year that Glenn Ford's son had been after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to vote his father a special Oscar for the last few years. His father's greatest wish was to receive an Oscar. The Board of Governors never did it. Now it's too late.
-
Tonight I was going to watch NEW FACES on videotape, but several phone calls from friends who had lost power delayed my starting it, so I watched a MURDER SHE WROTE rerun episode off the Biography Channel. It happened to be one from the later years I hadn't seen - Jessica in a "duel" with another college professor to discover the solution to the mystery of a campus murder. Interesting scenario, but unlike the early years in the series, the audience wasn't given enough information ahead of time to be able to solve it ourselves.
-
BONES introduced a new boss to the scientists on the show, and I didn't like her. Even a late-in-show defense of her team didn't sway me into liking her or wanting her to be part of the show. This is going to be a character that's going to take some time for me to warm to.
-
JUSTICE was a flashy, interesting legal series, but I didn't buy Kerr Smith as a whiz lead defense attorney. It needed someone with a little more substance - a Mark Valley, for example (but he's currently on BOSTON LEGAL). Garber was great, and it was also great to have Eaamon Walker (from OZ) as part of the team. He certainly could be a very charismatic lead defense attorney. Too bad he and Kerr Smith can't switch positions on the team!
-
Finally got to the DEADWOOD finale. A somewhat quieter episode than the others this season, but there was still enough tension to keep me ill-at-ease as I watched. The fates of some characters and the surprising election results made for a somber end of season finish. One wonders how soon the two made-for-HBO movies will be produced to wind up the series.
-
I do have NEW FACES cued up in the VCR to watch tomorrow. Haven't seen it in several years.
-
Hurray for the Pwoject Wunway wesults tonight!
-
Happy Birthday to DR HISAKA!
CD vibes to DR jhvw.
Such news as is happening...such news.
CD news from Kritzerland....Nun News from DR ELMORE....
-
Oops! Forgot to watch PROJECT RUNWAY. Luckily, this is one show Bravo seems to repeat endlessly during the week between new episodes, so I'll watch it at some point over the next few days.
-
Now, off to bed. I have a full day of errands and lunch date tomorrow.
Good night!

Thanks for the warning...I think. ::) I figure I'll have buyer's remorse the first time I have to make a payment! ;)

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll continue looking for the copy I taped. Who knows...if I find it, the quality might be better than yours and I could send you a better copy. :)

Mr Glenn Ford in one of MY favorites of his performances. :'(
-
Good condo thoughts for DR GEORGE....and September 8 vibes for DR TCB.
-
Hmmmm...I am trying to think of what my favorite Glenn Ford performance is...I remember him in an early Blondie and Dagwood film back from around 1940 and he was even good back then...maybe BLACKBOARD JUNGLE...he was certainly very good in that film.
-
The Oscars and their Board of Governors are idiots. Stupid, incomprehensible idiots who make Hollywood the low place it's become. Glenn Ford deserved an honorary Oscar, if only for Gilda, The Blackboard Jungle, The Big Heat and his very touching Pa Kent in Superman. Add to that all his other wonderful films (and his westerns with Delmer Daves) and the Academy can take their Oscar statuette and put it up their collective rectal cavities.
I haz spoken.

Did Glen Ford EVER give a bad performance? ? ? ?
He was also very fine in comedy or two - POCKETFUL OF MIRACLES springs to mind.
DEAR HEART against Geraldine Page also provides pleasures.
His Pa Kent is heartbreakingly real.
-
Good condo thoughts for DR GEORGE....
Thanks, JRand!

Niteynight, Georgie-boy

I just realized that I get paid tomorrow...actually, in a new minutes. I have direct deposit and it always goes in the night before, which is NOW! Anyway, I have bills to pay.
-
Hi...Bye, PennyO!
-
I'm taking tomorrow off from work to work on my house. I still have a lot to pack up and my sister said that I need to do more...and soon! ::)
-
Well, best of luck on your condo offer!!! A homeowner!!!
-
YIKES!! Can it really happen?
-
WILL it really happen?? :o
Will they accept my offer? It's less than what it was listed for (of course), but then they had already dropped their price once by the time I made my offer.
-
And if they counter-offer, I have to decide if I want to (should?) accept it. Too many decisions!
;)

I just read that "Joseph Stefano, who wrote the screenplay for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" and was co-creator of television's science fiction anthology series "The Outer Limits," has died. He was 84.
Stefano died Aug. 25 at Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center, funeral director Elaine Munoz said. The cause of death wasn't disclosed."
He died on August 25th and it's just being reported?
