Wish you were well enough to take that vacation down here. And it's not that I did the math automatically. It was because you wrote that he died at 95. I am 95 and was born in 1929 but you reported Minnow's birthday in 1926 so I suspected something didn't add up. Your Dad and I both went to Stuyvesant H.S, and CCNY so we could both add and subtract pretty good but that's where I left off and he went on.
Fascinating trip back in time and welcome recognition of a proven prognosticator. But TV remains a vast wasteland more than ever but still transmitting a lot of wonderful programming in the midst of dreck.
Incidentally, reviewing your supplied birthdate and date of death, he was more than 95 when he passed.
EEK! You are correct -- my father/your brother would be apoplectic that I got the math wrong - I could lie and say it was a typo, but it was the math. Sigh. I need a vacation.

Wow! Thanks for the education, Jessica!
