His son Griffin is even a larger one than dad.I might be one of the few that really cringed at the site of Ryan O'Neil. I thought he was a douche-bag.

I liked his work. Didn't know him as a person, only as an actor.

I had no idea he was 82 years old. I tend to measure how "old" people are by remembering how old I was when I was young and how old I was then. First I can remember was "Love Story" when I was a kid or "Paper Moon" with his daughter.

I usually do scroll by and his early works were good, I will agree with you there. As a father, IMO, he stunk at it but in hindsight, he had sole custody when it was very rare for a man, at that time, to have sole custody.
Military Science Fiction Author David Drake, Passes Away at Age 78'
David Drake, the author or co-author of over 80 science fiction and fantasy books, passed away on December 10, 2023 in Silk Hope, North Carolina. Drake, a Vietnam veteran and lawyer, turned to writing full-time in 1981, a few years after his first book was published.
Drake was born on September 24, 1945. He studied at Duke Law School and was drafted into the army in 1970, where he was assigned to the 11th Cavalry Regiment (a.k.a. the Blackhorse), where he, via tank, spent the war in Vietnam and Cambodia. He finished law school after he returned and became Chapel Hill, North Carolina’s Assistant Town Attorney. He turned to writing to help him grapple with his army experiences, and his first book, the short story collection Hammer’s Slammers came out in 1979.
“The stories [in Hammer’s Slammers] were more important to me as self-therapy than they were as the start of a career,” Drake wrote on his website about his first published book. “They gave me a chance to write about what I’d seen and heard; about the men I’d served with and person I’d become in that time. Being able to get that out on paper helped me keep it between the ditches and (from what they’ve told me) helped other veterans by showing them that they weren’t alone.”
Ouch this hurts, I have been reading his books since 1985 ...
I have all the Hammer's Slammers stories, and quite a few of his other works including the Roman themed ones.Military Science Fiction Author David Drake, Passes Away at Age 78'
