He was one of the good guys! Here in Conn. many children have had the opportunity to go to his camp and received other benefits from sales of his products. We will miss him.

I love how I said “out there” when referring to Aquarian energy. It was unintentional.

When I was a little girl - about five, I think - the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid came out in theaters. It was my favorite movie! So much so that my mom took me repeatedly to the drive in so we could see it, and for years whenever it was on television, we watched it. Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head, the theme song, was the first song from the radio I learned all the words to.

His philanthropy only made me seem to me beyond the usual star trapping crap we see today. That he stayed married to his wife for 50 years made him seem better than any man I’ve known in my whole life, since my experience is they all leave in one way or another. He just seemed to CARE about something beyond the end of his nose, and I’ll miss knowing he is somewhere in this world, but I am glad he is free of the body that was so ill.

Godspeed, Butch. See you on the other side.

“…that his love for me is as enduring and all encompassing Roy’s love for Lillie whom he’d never met (Venus Neptune).”

Do you think that can be true love? “whom he’d never met.” ? Guess, like you say Elsa, it’s a heavy Pisces/Neptune/12th House phenomenon. OPEN QUESTION then I guess: when is it destructive and delusional and when is it a higher and nobler manifestation? How do you tell the difference? How do you do it right if you’re prone to it? And, as an aside: Is it this that kept the soldier and you connected all those years?

I’d have to think about all that stuff, Busted and I will if I can but right now we are making plans for the apocalypse. But my short answer:

It’s probably all those things at once… depending on which dimension you are in at the moment..

I think he’s inordinately lucky to have found his calling so early in life and to have found Joanne. What he did with his luck was the astounding part, though - he could have let the fame destroy his talent and his marriage, but somehow he kept his priorities real and in line for all those years and gave back in spades. Class and integrity all the way.

Magi Astrology has a fascinating section on his synastry with Joanne.

Del, I don’t know. We just talk about these things because I like to and so does he.

Definitely seemed like a really classy guy - the kind of person who makes the world a better place just by being in it.

To Die well? Now that is some food for thought. Perhaps I am already leading up to that but it just never occurred to me.

He sparkled. Was such a good man. The one quote I heard from him will always make my heart melt: After being asked about being unfaithful he said, “Why go out for a hamburger when you’ve got the steak at home?”

it’s hard not to admire Paul Newman for putting his money to work in such productive ways, such as his Newman’s Own line–high quality stuff and the proceeds go to good causes… very smart.
