Wow. Rumsfeld with 'burns and Cheney with hair! Groovy photo!

So we lost Brown and Ford. Who will round out the tri-fecta? My money is on Screech.

Several other celebrities and well knowns have died in the last few days. For purposes of the "they always go in threes" superstition, what are the requirements for qualification?

Will any big name do or does it have to be another old man remembered in the current age primarily as a tired pop culture caricature?

NA, €, NM and I were just discussing his non-elected status, and health, a few weeks ago. I had randomly flipped to his picture in a US States Almanac in a used book store. He is the first president I really remember from my childhood. Nixon was in office when I was born, but I was too young to remember him.

Rest in Peace, Mr. President

You're forgetting Mike Evans, the first and the coolest Lionel. I knew who he was in the '70s before I knew who Gerald Ford was.
