R.I.P. Richard Attenborough

Seem to be writing a lot of these lately. A sure sign of getting older I guess.


Lord Richard Attenborough passed away Sunday afternoon, London time, at the age of 90. Best know to most people as John Hammond in "Jurassic Park". He was in many other movies ("The Great Escape", and the re-make of "Miracle on 34th Street") and an accomplished Director ("Gandhi"). He was a very talented gentleman. He will be missed.

Fantastic Fridays

Susan Richards (nee Storm). Back in the early days, always thought of as the week link in the team. Typical of the era, she often was the damsel in distress that needed rescuing by the rest of the team. Even her original code name, The Invisible Girl, limited her place on the team. 

Over the years though it became quite obvious that she was the glue holding this group together. The diplomat and peacemaker. The one trying to find the peaceful solution to every situation. And it became quite apparent during John Byrne's run that she was by far the most powerful member of the team. Sue even got a more respectable code name: The Invisible Woman.

So, here is to Susan!
