Vixmom, I know the feeling about not really knowing cousins.  Condolences to your mother and your family.

Oh, no! :'(

Gene Hackman and Wife Betsy Arakawa Found Dead in Santa Fe Home; Oscar-Winning Star of ‘French Connection’ and ‘Unforgiven’ Was 95

And if that's not sad enough, according to the article, "The couple was found dead, alongside their dog."

It is very sad.  His wife was only 65.

Two dogs did live.  One was near the dog that died and the other one was outside.

Macrame. It's not just for plant hangers anymore.

Is that from the Museum of the Tacky?

My cousin Stanley passed away yesterday.  He was 82 years old.

He was the son of our Uncle Jim Earles and Aunt Mary.....both gone.  When they were first married the doctor said they couldn't have children, so they adopted Stan.  A few years later cousin Arlene was born and few years after that cousin Steve was born.

We loved them all. 

A few years ago, Stan met his birth family and he always wished he hadn't.  He said all they do is call me to borrow money or my car and they come over and never leave.  I imagine we will see a couple of them at his service.....if there is one.  Nothing has been decided yet.

My condolences on the loss of your cousin.  His experience is why many adopted people fear meeting their biological family.  I'm sure he truly appreciated that he was adopted.

Just read about this.

Carbon monoxide poisoning was initially suspected, but there is an investigation ongoing, as there were pills scattered about. So sad.

They would have to investigage anyway.  I suppose it matters what the pills were and who they were for.  I suspect they will need to know if the one dog that died had pills in him.

The New York Post:

Authorities said the deaths were “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation” after also finding an open pill bottle and pills were also found scattered around the room where Hackman’s wife, classical pianist Betsy Arakawa, and the dog were discovered.

Meanwhile, Hackman’s body was located in a separate room, and there was “no obvious sign of a gas leak,” according to the report.

Still, I believe they need to confirm if there was a leak that was missed.

DR George, thank you for posting that “ So Long Farewell” song last night!

I sent it to my friend, and Rodzinski’s friend, Sharon, who is currently directing The Sound of Music in New York.

Very funny!

You're welcome, Iris!  Hopefully, Sharon enjoys it, too!

Thanks.  Now I wonder if the dead dog had swallowed some of the pills.  I hope they determine what killed the dog.
