NYT obituary

Cause: pneumonia.

Prior: diagnosed with throat cancer in 2014; recovered. Obviously survived the Covid scare. 

Another movie, like Dr Zhivago, I can never watch again -- Top Gun -- way too sad for me to watch. A handful of movies had a huge effect on me. Top Gun was one of those movies. That movie came out while I was assigned to an F-15 squadron in Germany. 1986. Seems like yesterday.

Interestingly, one might think Casablanca would fall into that category, but I never get tired of Casablanca
