    Merlin Olsen died

    He was 69. I'm not a football fan but I do remember him from Little House on the Prairie. May he RIP.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I am very sad to learn this. He always seemed like such a sweet, huge man. Especially on Little House on the Prairie. He did pretty good football commentary too.

    Oh my - I remember when he played for the LA Rams. I hadn't heard he was ill.

    He was a three-time academic All-American in college, Utah State, and graduated Summa Cum Laude and Phi Kappa Phi in 1962 with a degree in finance.

    Much too young to go

    He had cancer. How sad. I loved him in LHOTP. Did not even realize he was a football player.

    Why does this happen? I guess it's true that it happens in three's. That means there is still one to come, or did I miss someone?

    RIP to both of them.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    We had a Laura Ingalls Wilder 4 site meeting today. I had just got home from the meeting & my son told me Merlin Olsen passed away. There aren't to many menfolk left living from the TV show. It is sad news for sure.

    Meaning no disrespect, but putting Corey Haim in the same category as Merlin Olsen and Willie Davis is insulting to those gentlemen - IMHO.
