I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it but Bud Harrelson shortstop for the 1969 WS champ New York Mets, passed away at 79 from advanced Alzheimers. I was very sorry to hear this earlier today. RIP Mr. Harrelson. I loved watching him play ss, even if back then I didn't appreciate just how good he was at that difficult position. And he was a favorite player of at least a couple of good friends of mine, so every time he made a good-to-great play in a game--which was often--I heard all about it from them

Man, it's sure tough to pass up that Jim Taylor feature in SPORT magazine --but in September 1965 I'll spend my $2 on these: Action #330 DC, 12 cents Adventure #338 I love that my favorite Legionnaire, Light Lass, is on the cover DC, 12 cents Aquaman #24 Got to have this one. I've posted about this issue many times here at CCF; I love DC's answer to the Fantastic Four (minus one), namely the "Terrible Trio" comprising the flame-haired Karla, the Invisible Un-thing, and the Fisherman with his stretchy fishing line. Great Cardy cover. DC, 12 cents Avengers #22 Marvel, 12 cents Doom Patrol #99 DC, 12 cents Falling In Love #79 What a cover by Cardy! DC, 12 cents Fantastic Four #45 Marvel, 12 cents The Great Race #1 I've seen this movie many times as it was frequently shown on TV, IIRC on channels 7 and/or channel 9. Oh, just one more thing -- why isn't my favorite actor from that film, Peter Falk, on the cover?! But I'll still buy this anyway. Dell, 12 cents Justice League of America #39 A giant issue? Yes, please! DC, 25 cents Lois Lane #61 DC, 12 cents Showcase #59 Another Cardy cover! This is a must-buy. DC, 12 cents Tales to Astonish #74 Gene Colan cover, and Dorma's one of my favorite Marvel characters. Marvel, 12 cents T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents #1 Who could resist this cover?! I sure can't. Tower, 25 cents Wonder Woman #158 DC, 12 cents 12 @ 12 cents = 1.44 2 @25 = .50 Total: $1.94Enough left over for a roll of my favorite flavor of Reed's, cinnamon. A Cardycopia, plus some other Sep. 1965 goodies.

^^^ Prince Hal Happy New Year to you too, my friend. Yeah, it still evokes emotions in me after all these years. Goes without saying that I loved reading your Legion entry.
