can't believe I was late replying to this, but... not much I can do now...

...sigh.

RIP, Jim. Thank you so much. The lovers... the dreamers... and you.

Think I read that article in a doctor's office at the time.

Can't remember too much about it now.

Altough Henson and the Muppets were more than just SS it's interesting how you had the passing of Joe Raposo the previous years and Northern Calloway in Jan. of 1990.

All happened within a year from each other.
And then a year and a half after Jim's death, Richard Hunt died as well.

It is strange (not to mention really sad) how a lot of Muppet cast and crew members started dying in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
