As I was thinking about Dennis, I did a goggle and found this link-
Dennis Hopper

He appeared in more movies than I realized and had more wives than I knew. Of all the movies, "Hoosiers" remains my favorite and one that I can watch again and again.

Condolences to all the Hopper family.

Does anyone know if his grandfather Hopper is still living? He was in his 70's when I knew him and lived next door to him. Great little guy - moved into a rest home the last I knew.

His Momma was 89 and a teener when he was born. Using '18' as the generational factor would prompt me to guess Grandpa Hopper would be 106 and a Greeter at the Woolworth in the sky.

Probly right - I guess my year counter broke when I hit 30. Good thing, too. Just in the ta-da nick of time.
