Just skimming the articles out there.....just indicted, high rate of speed, age...seems likely.

Japanese wrestling legend Hayabusa dead at 47. He was famously paralyzed in a match 14 years ago when he lost his footing and landed on his head. In recent years he had actually regained some movement and could walk with a cane.

Another journalism Giant has left us

In the early 1960s, after joining the Globe as a tennis writer, Bud Collins took a giant leap into the future of sports journalism when he stepped in front of a TV camera to offer commentary.

In newspaper columns and as a TV commentator, Mr. Collins provided the sport with its most authoritative voice, and also wrote a tennis encyclopedia and a history of the game. He was 86 when he died Friday in his Brookline home.

Prince of Tides was a hugely affecting book for me 30 years ago. I recommended it for a long time to anyone who would listen. Good reminder to go back to it, I'm sure it's worth a re-read.

A mutual friend got Pat to write a marriage proposal to my wife on a first edition of Beach Music. She said yes and I got huge romance points.

Ray Tomlinson (about age 74). if you do not know who he is, look him up. A fellow RPI graduate, (he graduated in 1963 when i first started there) he is very much responsible for all of us communicating with each other.
