RadGuy 1,614 Posted November 1, 2015 Mamie Eisenhower died on November 1, 1979. She had suffered from a stroke several weeks earlier. Funny thing is, on Halloween '79, she told her granddaughter that she'll die the next day. She was right. The Eisenhowers always were one of my favorite presidential couples, for some reason, along with the LBJs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted November 3, 2015 Tom Magliozzi, one half of the Car Talk duo, died November 3, 2014, at aged 77, from Alzheimer's Disease. Back in Poland, every Saturday we drove to my parents' hometown to visit the grandparents. It was a 90 minute drive, so we listened to Car Talk to pass the time quicker. I was never interested in cars, but that show was hilarious! The only celebrities whose deaths really upset me were Joan Rivers and Tom Magliozzi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike global warming (man made or otherwise at the moment) he is real, his name's Al Gore. People often get mixed up on that one, they also wrongly say Lord of the Rings was the only fantasy film to win an Oscar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,904 Posted November 4, 2015 Its 20 years since Paul Eddington died from skin cancer, aged 68. That means it's 20 years since lost my virginity. I remember hearing about Paul Eddington's death the morning after far better than I remember the sex. I think Marti Caine died the same day.
