     I was reading some obituaries recently, and felt they served as an
 interesting reminder that nobody lives forever. To my mind, it seems like
 only yesterday, that the Ed Sullivan show, and Bonanza were entertaining
 audiences in black & white, and that Elvis Presley was still the reigning
 king of rock and roll. Here are some dates.
