Edit:  Out of idle curiosity, I checked out the Newsmax article on his death.  It ends with a paraphrase of the classic acknowledgment:

Quote:EDITOR'S NOTE: We wish to thank the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement, without whose cooperation this article would not be possible. 

A friend commented on my Facebook page with: "Control One out, Mister Solo." To which I responded with: "Close Channel D."

The sadness continues: Bob Walsh, dead at 68

Hey, there's at least one good thing going on: We're in the last stretch of the year.

Oh, that's right, Hazard, tempt fate.

It appears fate cannot resist temptation.

Tell me about it, MD.  On the more personal side, one of my coworkers died suddenly on Wednesday and another one now faces a decision concerning what to do for her husband, who is experiencing kidney failure.  This is not good...!
