This thread helps keeping us informed. I did not see anything in the news about Gavin passing. He and BJ Thomas were big in my youth. Watched Love Boat every Saturday night with my family. BJ was the first singer I recall from my real young days. "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" was probably my first favorite song. I remember my parents and I standing in line to meet him.

 F. Lee Bailey, celebrity attorney, dies at 87 F. Lee Bailey, the celebrity attorney who defended O.J. Simpson, Patricia Hearst and the alleged Boston Strangler, but whose legal career halted when he was disbarred in two states, has died, a former colleague said Thursday. He was 87. The death was confirmed Thursday by Peter Horstmann, who worked with Bailey as an associate in the same law office for seven years. In a legal career that lasted more than four decades, Bailey was seen as arrogant, egocentric and contemptuous of authority. But he was also acknowledged as bold, brilliant, meticulous and tireless in the defense of his clients. |
