I’ve never heard of him before today but part of me wonders if one of his final regrets was that he was an adult human male known to most of those who knew him at all as “totalbiscuit”.

Apollo 12 astronaut Alan Bean ;_;https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/family-release-regarding-the-passing-of-apollo-skylab-astronaut-alan-bean

All the feels “Alan and I have been best friends for 55 years — ever since the day we became astronauts,” said Walt Cunningham, who flew on Apollo 7. “When I became head of the Skylab Branch of the Astronaut Office, we worked together and Alan eventually commanded the second Skylab mission.”“We have never lived more than a couple of miles apart, even after we left NASA. And for years, Alan and I never missed a month where we did not have a cheeseburger together at Miller’s Café in Houston. We are accustomed to losing friends in our business but this is a tough one,” said Cunningham.

Broadway-TV-film actress Allyn Ann McLerie, who I remember from a handful of Sydney Pollack films, All the President's Men and "The Tony Randall Show." She'd been around long enough to have played Ray Bolger's girlfriend in Charley's Aunt. Didn't know she'd been married to Adolph Green and George Gaynes.

Dull story - One time (1990 or thereabouts) we had our works' Christmas do in Stringfellows (me neither), it was alright but at one point I decided to go up to the DJ box and request some Stone Roses (I know, I know), dude said "yeah, OK" and about 10-15 mins later he played "Fools Gold". It wasn't until I looked again I realised it was the man himself.
So, why would he be running the DJ decks during a fairly nondescript corporate booking, being fairly low-key himself? I guess he enjoyed the work.
There you go, finished now, wake up..
