Too many leaving us right now. Too many to mention. I love Medical Center growing up as a pre-teen, and my teenage years watching The Jeffersons. They were great shows and great actors who we will miss dearly. And the loss of our first female space traveler. And though they lived their lives in a complete way, this only shows that we age getting older and those we grew up with are leaving us everyday.

Sorry to chirp in like this. I lost in the last three months an old family friend for many many years, an aunt who lived life to her fullest and my next door neighbor who lived there for about 40 years. It is so sad to see so many go. RIP, Chad, Sherman, Sally, Mag, Mary Tood and Kathy. You will be missed.

Cheers Mike aka Hondo Duke Lane

Everett grew up in Dearborn, Michigan which is just a few short miles from where I live now. Used to watch Medical Center all the time. His wife, Shelby Grant, was an up and coming actress when they married. I remember her as one of Derek Flints girls in Our Man Flint back in 66. Didn't know that she to, passed away last year. RIP to both Chad and Shelby.
