Jerry Lee, a distant cousin through the Bells, Knoxes, and Campbells, was 84 until he hit 85 on September 29. Even he does not believe he is still alive. A lot of us are grateful that he is.
Kris has been 84 since June 22. When I sat behind him at the Troubadour in 1970 I was sure he was so bony and smoking so heavily that he would die right away and when we heard him in SLO a few years ago I was sure he was dying, but his frailty was from undiagnosed Lyme Disease and now he is better.
Redford has been 84 since August 18 and he has just been through the worst thing that can happen to any parent, the death of a child. The very worst thing.
Merle was a year younger but he only made it to 79, and he was very frail the last time we saw him.
