I have enjoyed his videos so much and am very sorry to hear he has died.

Peter Beard, 82, suffering from dementia, went missing from his Montauk, NY home and his remains were sadly found yesterday. He was an amazing photographer and naturalist.

This year has really been awful, hasn't it?

I don't know. He lived what appeared to be an extraordinary life. He left that miserable disease behind by walking into the nature that brought him joy over a lifetime. Maybe he didn't die as much as he escaped. God bless him and his family.

Oh my goodness, that is so sad.

So true. He certainly had an extraordinary life. And dementia is horrible.

My comment about being an awful year is the cumulative effect of all the losses, virus and non-virus. Too many deaths.

Harold Reid, founding member of the Statler Brothers has died. He was 80.

Oh nooooo!!! I LOVE the Statler Brothers. I saw them several times in concert. They are such good guys. Really truly a class act. I still have the boutonnière that Phil Balsley gave me at one concert. This is such sad news. Harold had such a great voice and was so funny.

Susan H · 04-25-20, 08:21 AM

We saw them in the 80's. They were definitely a class act.

I was thinking about the first time I saw them when I was little. They were supposed to be performing with Johnny Cash. Johnny Cash never showed up for the concert, but the Statler Brothers performed anyway and we still got our money refunded. I’m sure they didn’t have to perform, but the fact that they gave us a free concert says a lot about them.

I saw via Facebook that Mari Winsor has passed away after years suffering with ALS.

Nobody should get this awful disease, but for Mari to have been stricken with it after a lifetime of promoting fitness always seemed especially cruel to me.

Mari was my introduction to Pilates, and her original Guthey-Renker infomercial is what led me to discover VF.

It is a sad day for her fans, but her suffering has ended. Rest in peace Mari.
