Dayton great Don Lane, a star in the 1950s, dies at 85
Jan. 6—Before Malachi Smith and Koby Brea, before Scoochie Smith, the most prominent Dayton Flyers guard from the Bronx, N.Y., was Don Lane. The 6-foot point guard attended St. Ann's Academy and played for Lou Carnesecca, who later gained fame as the coach at St. John's.
Lane, who died on Sunday at 85, scored 754 points in three seasons and was inducted into the Dayton Athletic Hall of Fame in 1984.
"He was very good," said Frank Case, who like Lane was from New York City and was a sophomore at Dayton when Lane was a senior. "He was the kind of player who saw the whole floor. He was just as happy making an assist as scoring. He'd always hit the the free man. Anybody open could count on him getting the ball to them."

John D. Hawke Jr., a banking lawyer who chaired the Arnold & Porter law firm in Washington and served six years as comptroller of the currency, among his prominent bank-related assignments in government, died Jan. 3 at his home in the District. He was 88.

Richard Freed, classical music critic, dies at 93
Richard Freed, a classical music critic and administrator renowned for the program notes he wrote for the National Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra and the leading ensembles of Baltimore, Houston and Philadelphia, died Jan. 1 at his home in Rockville, Md. He was 93.
The cause was a heart attack, said his daughter, Erica Freed.
A courtly, soft-spoken man, Mr. Freed was widely regarded as a writer many other critics read to learn from. He was the executive director of the Music Critics Association (later the Music Critics Association of North America) from 1974 to 1990. He won a Grammy Award for best liner notes on a historical recording in 1995 for his work on “The Heifetz Collection,” a near-complete collection of the recordings of violinist Jascha Heifetz.
Leonard Slatkin, for whom Mr. Freed served as an adviser during his music directorships at the NSO and the St. Louis Symphony, wrote in an email tribute this week: “There simply was no better program annotator.”

>can you bun yourself? with the deaths, thanks
I've got them all in a folder and will make a dedicated bread on my next day off. I want to take some time and do it right and there's now over 100 since Betty White died (I think that was the 1st?). only "famous" deaths.
To me, it seems suspicious, but I have no basis for comparison, however, losing an average of 15 celebrities/quasi-celebrities a day seems odd.

>resist the 'bait' the shills and trolls are throwing out.
don't know if you've been around long enough, but back on 8/pol/ the collective IQ was high enough that shills weren't getting responses at all, so they shut down the board.
since then, the shills have learned to respond to themselves to show dissent in the ranks.

It's called LARP'ing
