Glen Sonmor, 86yo former Gopher player and coach, and NHL player. I'm hearing initial reports, can't find anything to verify.

I now have an article from the Strib confirming: http://www.startribune.com/glen-sonmor-former-u-and-north-stars-head-coach-dies-at-86/361797651/#1

As much as it was to joke around with the way he slanted the color analysis for Gopher radio broadcasts, he had a fiery delivery that made them all the more fun. He's been missed on the radio and he'll be missed by the hockey fans in this state.

I saw. Never a religious reader of the bloids, but that name was a staple for so long even I knew him.

Beats the hell outta Dick Young, anyway.

Shiver. That girl cannot have had an easy time of it. Some people thought he was funny or un-PC. I always thought he was just a nasty, bigoted bully.

Was she cute?

I went to school for three weeks with Rick Rubin -- he was getting passed around his various relatives and landed at my HS for a while. My only memories were him stoned to the gills in back of an art class with a couple kids from the "more money than sense" set. (Harry Chapin's kids, also in my school, were members.) I caught the general whiff of dickishness, but that may be guilt by association and anyway given his before and after story I assume he was just sorting through several somewheres he didn't want to be.

That was in 1969. I was only at the school for my one and only year of public education. So, I must confess that my memory has failed me.

Then she wasn't. I do not think I am exaggerating when I say I can still name the twenty prettiest girls in my high school graduating class. From eighth grade, well, there was a lot of overlap, but I may have suppressed the memory of a few who failed to launch.

Elizabeth Laird, the Fort Hood "Hug Lady." :(

The "hug lady" of Fort Hood, whose embrace boosted the spirits of thousands of American soldiers over nearly a decade as they shipped out for Iraq and Afghanistan, died Thursday. She was 83.

Elizabeth Laird died at Metroplex Hospital in Killeen, Texas after she was hospitalized in November due to her deteriorating health following her breast cancer diagnoses, the Killeen Daily Herald reported.
