Many had seen the news coming for some time, but it didn t make it any less heartbreaking.
Cleveland rock and roll legend Michael Stanley died Friday at the age of 72 following a months-long battle with lung cancer. The Rocky River High School and Hiram College alum made a name for himself locally and nationally as the frontman for the Michael Stanley Band, and later hosted the afternoon drive slot on 98.5 WNCX for more than three decades.
Those of a certain age in Northeast Ohio likely saw MSB play live at least once, and probably several times more than that. Beyond his musical and radio talents, he will be remembered as a kind and generous man who was a loving father, brother, husband, [and] a loyal friend.
Julienne Weighter, two-time kidney transplant recipient, dies at 72
By Patrick Kennedy, Star Tribune February 13, 2021 3:33pm Text size Copy shortlink:
Weighter, of St. Louis Park, died of pancreatic cancer Feb. 5. She was 72.
She was born in Grand Forks, N.D., the last of Edmund and Evelyn Weighter s seven children. At 14, she was diagnosed with kidney disease, but doctors in North Dakota had limited options to treat her.
She needed a kidney transplant. But in 1963, there were only three U.S. cities where the surgery was done Denver, Boston and Richmond, Va.
The plight of the pretty high school cheerleader attracted the attention of the entire state, including one of North Dakota s senators and its governor. With their help, a military flight for Julie, her mother and a nurse was arranged from the Air Force base in Grand Forks to Richmond, where the surgery was performed at the Medical College of Virginia.

Theirs was not reason why,
Theirs but to do and die
Into the valley of death
Rode the six hundred.
The Charge of the Light Brigade.
Wars in Tennyson s time involved six hundred soldiers marching on foot or riding horses. Modern wars, specially Second World War and thereafter, involved tanks and artillery and aerial bombing as in the First Gulf War involving the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq, starting on August 2, 1990. Some of the dimensions of this war are given below.
The invasion of Kuwait started on August 2, 1990 at 2 AM and within two days of starting combat, most of the Kuwaiti armed forces were either overrun by the Iraqi Republican Guard or fell back to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The Emirate of Kuwait was annexed and Saddam Hussein announced a few days later that it was the 19th province of Iraq.
