I don’t think Denise Coffey was known much outside the UK but ‘Do Not Adjust Your Set’ was a huge thing for me when I was a kid. And look at who else was in this photo - in ‘Do Not Adjust Your Set’ - three Pythons and David Jason!

Maybe not a celebrity in the “movie star” sense, but this guy was first-rate. What a great example of a human.

Was going to post that yesterday. Here’s another obit.

I must admit I had followed her music much less as she moved more into fine art but I had her early records back in the day.

It’s sad how much of my listening is getting taken up with catching up on the work of people who have died that I either missed entirely or hadn’t kept up to date. She was amazing.

A lot more about “Radar’s” life.

Shaffer served two tours during the Korean War, KGAN reported. According to his obituary, Shaffer spent six years in Japan, where he attended night school and earned his bachelor’s degree from Sophia University. Shaffer worked for Army Intelligence during the Vietnam War before retiring in 1973.

“I was only in the medical part five years,” Shaffer told the Courier in 2018.

He was assigned to the Army Intelligence School at Fort Holabird near Baltimore, where he taught for six years. He earned his master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University, according to Shaffer’s obituary.

“I was on the faculty of the Army intelligence school,” Shaffer told the Courier. “And that enabled me to become a professor at a local college.” Shaffer taught at Community College of Baltimore County in Maryland.

“And then that led me to become a world traveler with my students. I took my students to every continent except Antarctica and Australia.”
