God bless her, Yogi and their family.

Yogi and Carmen Berra met in St. Louis in the late 1940s, when he was a minor leaguer just back from World War II and she was a waitress at Biggies, a St. Louis restaurant.

Carmen served Yogi lunch and he asked her name and whether she was married. Their first date was a hockey game in St. Louis. Berra proposed marriage by placing a ring on the table in front of Carmen while they dined at his family's home.

No disrespect intended, but Audrey Meadows was the definitive Alice Kramden.

Absolutely-but she was the second one to play her(Pert Kelton being the first). No one could ever deliver all those one line zippers to Ralph like Audrey could.

Pert Kelton played Marian's mother in Music Man. But Audrey was the gold standard.

Incredible individual. I know there were many others like him, so each time I hear about one of these BoB guys going, I feel it tenfold.

There are 18 members surviving at the moment. One of those is Donald Malarkey who is probably the most recognizable name left. Also Edward Tipper (injured during the Normandy campaign...you may remember thy scene from the Carentan episode), and Edward Shames who actually went on to retire as a Colonel. Most are in their 90s, Malarkey is 92, with the oldest at 95 and youngest at 88. Sadly it won't be long before they are all reunited. I saw in the article about Bill for example that his son said that now he and Babe Heffron who passed in December can be together again.
