I was behind the bar the first time that I met Ken Cornish, twenty-one years ago. He strolled in with that slow, dignified walk of his, studied the beer pumps, before finally settling for a pint of Smithwicks.

He was in denial and didnât believe he was departing until he overheard a nurse tell his friend that he wouldnât make it through the night; and with that the patient opened his eyes and his last words were, âwell f k me!â It wasnât much different for Douglas Fairbanks, another man who misjudged his physical condition on a night in 1939, when he announced, minutes before his departure, âIâve never felt better.â
