Noting Kenny Rogers in music memories
Legendary country singer Kenny Rogers dies at 81
I grew up not knowing or realizing there were very distinct genres of music since on Guam we had a very small, select, choice of radio stations. I only remember two…. KUAM and KSTO (K-Stereo). The stations played the different genres at different times … Continue Reading “Noting Kenny Rogers in music memories”

RIP Rich Heard
This morning we (the TVS group) noticed Rich hadn’t come in and it was almost 9am. We joked about him probably having gotten the days mixed up again and thought today was his RDO. That, among other funny incidents about Rich and forgetfulness etc..

Pernell Sweet Pea Whittaker, RIP
Just a mention on Sweet Pea’s passing. I’m not a boxing aficionado, critic, or anything like that. I just remember watching boxing more avidly back when Whittaker, Biggs, etc., came out pro after their Olympics stints. Some of the more memorable fighters of that period.

Coins on a Gravestone
I caught this on a social media site. Interesting, though I wonder if these meanings are true and actually applied for real. and if so, how long has this been? Never heard of it, but I’ll keep it in mind and follow suit if I ever see coins on a veteran’s gravestone.
