"My uncle John, (mothers brother) knew her on first name terms. They both went to the same Alcoholics Anonymous group." --------------------------------I guess it wasn't anonymous then was it. :-)
Yes, auld John had difficulty keeping things anonymous at times. Quite regularly we would hear......, "Hey, you never guess. Mick Nelson was at the AA the other night!" ....., nice one uncle john.
But in his defence, it was common knowledge that Clarissa had problems with the bevvy.
"...when Hibernian won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”
My uncle John, (mothers brother) knew her on first name terms. They both went to the same Alcoholics Anonymous group. It's weird. Old uncle John did indeed give up the drink, but turned into a seriously overweight dude after meeting Clarissa. Was just pies every day. Pretty sure the bevvy would've been healthier.
Hmmmmm.
If he is eating pies every day, sounds like more than a first name basis, here.
I long for a Lions team that is consistently competitive.

Didn't know him till I looked him up. He was the dean of the school in Scent of a Woman and also the weasel defense sec. in Independence Day. Also the expert defense witness in My cousin Vinny

"James Robert Rebhorn was born on Sept. 1, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA. His mother, Ardell Frances Rebhorn, nee Hoch, loved him very much and supported all his dreams." As if it wasn't impressive enough to achieve show business success for decades, Homeland actor James Rebhorn capped off a tremendous life by penning a truly masterful obituary for himself, published today by Jersey City's St. Paul Lutheran Church following the actor's death on Friday. Rebhorn, who fought melanoma since 1992, deftly crafted his obituary to honor his living relatives, including his sister, wife and children.
Read the entire obituary below. It goes without saying it will make you sob.
James Robert Rebhorn was born on Sept. 1, 1948, in Philadelphia, PA. His mother, Ardell Frances Rebhorn, nee Hoch, loved him very much and supported all his dreams. She taught him the value of good manners and courtesy, and that hospitality is no small thing. His father, James Harry Rebhorn, was no less devoted to him. From him, Jim learned that there is no excuse for poor craftsmanship. A job well done rarely takes more or less time than a job poorly done. They gave him his faith and wisely encouraged him to stay in touch with God.
He is survived by his sister, Janice Barbara Galbraith, of Myrtle Beach, SC. She was his friend, his confidant, and, more often than either of them would like to admit, his bridge over troubled waters. He is also survived by his wife, Rebecca Fulton Linn, and his two daughters, Emma Rebecca Rebhorn and Hannah Linn Rebhorn. They anchored his life and gave him the freedom to live it. Without them, always at the center of his being, his life would have been little more than a vapor. Rebecca loved him with all his flaws, and in her the concept of ceaseless love could find no better example.
His children made him immensely proud. Their dedication to improving our species and making the world a better place gave him hope for the future. They deal with grief differently, and they should each manage it as they see fit. He hopes, however, that they will grieve his passing only as long as necessary. They have much good work to do, and they should get busy doing it. Time is flying by. His son-in-law, Ben, also survives him. Jim loved Ben, who was as a son to Jim, especially through these last months. His aunts Jean, Dorothy and Florence, numerous cousins and their families, and many devoted friends also survive Jim. He loved them all, and he knows they loved him.
Jim received his BA at Wittenberg University and his MFA at Columbia. He was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Nu Zeta 624, a life-long Lutheran, and a longtime member of both the AMC and ACLU.
Jim was fortunate enough to earn his living doing what he loved. He was a professional actor. His unions were always there for him, and he will remain forever grateful for the benefits he gained as a result of the union struggle. Without his exceptional teachers and the representation of the best agents in the business, he wouldn’t have had much of a career. He was a lucky man in every way.
