Teri Garr 1944-2024
Actress well known for her roles in Young Frankenstein, Tootsie and Close Encounters. Passed away today at the age of 79. And I also remember her in one of her first roles in the episode of Star Trek TOS "Assignment Earth".

Or the shitshow she gave Hoffman when he admitted to her that he loved the co-star on the TV show in Tootsie.

Quincy Jones, 93
Google:
Quincy Delight Jones Jr. was an American record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and producer. His career spanned 70 years, with 28 Grammy Awards won out of 80 nominations and a Grammy Legend Award in 1992.
93 is bonus points. A Eulogy for a well-known figure in the era of records and recording rather than today's streaming.

Tony Campolo, Champion of ‘Red Letter’ Christianity
From Christianity Today: quote:
Tony Campolo frequently started his speeches to Christian audiences by telling them three things. First, he would tell them how many children had died from hunger or malnutrition-related diseases the night before—a number in the tens of thousands. And Campolo would say, “Most of you don’t give a s—.” Then: “What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said ‘s—’ than the fact that thousands of kids died last night.” Campolo, a progressive Christian leader who courted controversy challenging evangelicals to see caring for the poor as an integral part of proclaiming the gospel, died on Tuesday. He was 89. Campolo popularized the term red letter Christian—a reference to the way the words of Jesus are printed in many New Testaments—as an alternative to evangelical. He felt an alternative was needed because evangelicals had turned their backs on the good news, embracing right-wing politics and comfortable, middle-class conformity. But the best cure for evangelicalism’s ills, he said, was Jesus.
I have written about Tonys' son, Bart Campolo here on EvC before. Bart had a great Father.
When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--PercyGod alone is God *but* God is not alone~Ellis Potter We see Monsters where Science shows us Windmills.~Phat, remixed
Critics would of course say that "God" is a product of human imagination...but then again God may well declare that all of creation is a product of His imagination! Its all in perspective of the the observer.~Phat
