Barton_Keyes Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Paul Salata, creator of the Mr. Irrelevant Award, honouring the last player chosen in the NFL draft, died yesterday. He would have been 95 today. Salata was a USC wide receiver in 1944, 1946 and 1947 (the war resulted in him missing the 1945 season), and he went on to play in the NFL for the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Colts in the late '40s and early '50s. He also spent two seasons playing in the CFL, for the Calgary Stampeders in 1952 and the Ottawa Roughriders in 1953. He appeared, usually uncredited, in nearly 20 movies throughout the 1950s. One of his few credited acting roles was as one of the Pittsburgh Pirates in the classic baseball fantasy ANGELS IN THE OUTFIELD (1951). His uncredited film appearances include SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (1952), THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956), and THE JOKER IS WILD (1957).

sewhite2000 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Wow, even though fully vaccinated, which adds to my paranoia, although he was 84 and being in that age range was likely more susceptible. Well over a year and a half into this thing, I still wear my mask when I'm indoors in any public place, even though I live in an overwhelmingly Republican state where my governor seems to be absolutely determined to make sure every member of the voting population dies.

I'm taking several medications for cholesterol and heart disease, and even though I'm fully vaccinated, I don't know how effective the vaccine is. I'm guessing it's fine, because I've not been symptomatic with coronavirus. I too wear a mask indoors if I'm in a public place, especially stores or buildings where it's posted that you do so upon entering the structure. Most people where I live ignore the signs because it infringes on their 'free-dumbs'. The town fathers where I live ought to consider adding to the sign coming into the community with the tag: You're now entering the Stupid Zone of Illinois. ☹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live in a similar state with an equally determined governor. I don’t get these guys. There is something that could potentially save your life, but no, now it’s a political issue. Unbelievable. The best book I can recommend on the subject of pandemics and how they occur and progress would be John Berry’s The Great Influenza. It’s a fascinating read. I read it 10 years ago, and I’m very thankful that did. If not, I might have been susceptible to some of the utter hogwash that’s circulating now. Read it, it’s a long slog, but it’s meticulously research and has nothing whatsoever to do with any partisan shenanigans or political special interest. https://www.amazon.com/Great-Influenza-Deadliest-Pandemic-History-ebook/dp/B000OCXFWE/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1634672930&sr=8-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the kids that were in a few episodes are still around: Richard Keith (the last I Love Lucy regular still alive), Ron's brother Clint Howard, and likely others. Of the adults, the actress who played Charlene Darling is still alive : Maggie Peterson. She originally auditioned for the role that went to Elinor Donahue. She was in 6 episodes of the show, 5 as Charlene Darling. Some members of The Dillards (who were the musicians of the Darling family) are still alive. A few guests are still with us: Barbara Eden, Ronnie Schell, Jack Nicholson, Howard Hesseman, Sue Ane Langdon, Elaine Joyce. I'm sure there are others, but that's all I can remember.
