    I was quite surprised that he was 75. Then I read your post. I remember thinking when I watched the show, how old Chad looked, even quite older than 75. I wondered how old he was at the time, but it very well could have been makeup. His character would have been quite old.
    He was so classically handsome in his prime, even as an older man.

    Maeve Binchy, popular Irish author, dies at 72 in Dublin; leaders mourn 'national treasure'

    Very sad news. Her books are like dear old friends that I love to visit over and over again...have re-read Tara Road and Circle of Friends countless times. Thank you for the many hours of relaxation and enjoyment your work has given me, Ms Binchy. RIP.

    Somehow, I posted twice, but will edit this one to say that the article makes her sound very down to earth.

    I loved her so much I gave her a whole thread in the books forum!
