Re: Tony Dow, 77
As soon as you said Wally Cleaver his image popped into my mind. It's funny to me how many actors (many of whom I liked watching) that I only know by the names of their characters. And there are only a few rock bands that I know all the member's names. I'm good with insect scientific names, but have to look up the English names for all but common and local species.
Thanks for posting all these. It's nice to mark the passing of people who touched our culture, especially through art and science.

Re: Jimmy Buffett
his music idealized a white-dominant, paternalistic, colonial view of the tropics.
Well, he only had one song and it always made me think of a drunk, white, ex-pat, loser, stuck in the tropics...that vision just pops into my head every time I hear that song.
