Two Left

Over the next two weeks, we will se the final NFL playoff schedule fall into place. So many teams are on a short leash this weekend. It will end very badly for some.

All you can ever hope as a fan is for your team
to make the playoffs.

Who knows what happens after that.

Ken Weatherwax - Child Actor

Ken Weatherwax appeared as "Pugsley" on the "Adams Family" television series which ran from 1964-1966. He would spend the rest of his career in show business, working as a grip on several Hollywood productions.

Mr Weatherwax passed away on December 7, 2014 at his home in Box Canyon, CA from a heart attack. He was forced to retire a few years ago due to medical reasons.

Theodore Van Kirk - Crew Memeber of Enola Gay

Theodore Van Kirk was the last surviving member of the crew of the Enola Gay, the B-29 airplane that dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. He died on July 28, 2014 in Stone Mountain, GA at the age of 93. Van Kirk was selected for the secret mission after distinguishing himself as a navigator during 58 combat missions in Europe. The devastation caused by the bomb forced Japan into ending World War II. He left the military with the rank of major. He enrolled at Bucknell University, graduating with a bachelor's and master's degree in chemical engineering. He spent his working years at Dupont where he became a marketing executive.

Conrado Marrero - Oldest Major League Player

Conrado Marrero of Cuba held the distinction of being the oldest former Major League Baseball player until his passing last week in Havana at the age of 102. He missed his 103rd birthday by two days.

He was a star pitcher in the Cuban League before making his MLB debut with the Washington Senators in 1950 at the age of 39. He compiled a 39-40 record over five seasons with an ERA of 3.97 and 296 strikeouts.

After he was released by the Senators in 1955, he returned to Cuba where he played through the 1957 season. He continued to work into his 80's as an instructor and coach and was honored as a Hero of the Republic of Cuba.

Alice Herz Sommer - Holocaust Survivor

Alice Herz Sommer was the oldest Holocaust survivor until she died in London on February 23, 2014 at the age of 110.

She was a classic pianist who mastered the works of Chopin. That allowed her to survive the Theresienstadt Concentration Camp run by the Nazis during World War II.

She was sent there in 1943 after her family was rounded up in Czechoslovakia. A certain death awaited her until her musical talent was discovered. She was forced to perform in over 100 concerts for prisoners and guards during her ordeal that saved her from the fate suffered by so many other prisoners.

After the war, she emigrated to Israel where she taught music until moving to London in the 1980's.

Ruth Robinson - Munchkin

Ruth Robinson was the last of the female Munchkins from the 1939 blockbuster movie "The Wizard of Oz". She died on January 16, 2014 at a hospice facility in Las Vegas at the age of 95. Her death leaves Jerry Marren as the only surviving Munchkin from the movie.

She was part of a cast of 124 little people who played one of the iconic roles in the movie. While working at MGM, she met her future husband.

During World War II, she worked as a riveter at an aircraft facility. Her small stature allowed her to work in small spaces.

She spent the rest of her life appearing at festivals and screenings celebrating the movie. Back in September, she appeared in Los Angeles at the world premier of the "Wizard of Oz 3D".
