Obit watch: February 18, 2022.

Jim Hagedorn, House member from Minnesota.

Gail Halvorsen, the original “Candy Bomber” from the Berlin Airlift. Instead of writing a fuller obit here, I’m going to point you to the much better one Borepatch wrote.

For the historical record: NYT obit for Ian McDonald.

    Thank you for the linkage, Dwight. Like I said in my email I would be sad for Col. Halvorsen but he had a long and happy life and left this world surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and great-grandcildren.

    Probably a more successful life than I will leave.

    But ave atque vale.
