Dead Page-- Delfonics-- Manhattan Project

RANDY CAIN, 63

Founding member of 70s soul group Delfonics, noted for their three-part harmony and falsetto sound. Heard on songs "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" and "La-La-La Means I Love You." Formed group with brothers William and Wilbert Hirt. One of my favorite groups back then.


LESTER SKAGGS, 97

Longtime University of Chicago physics professor (1948-1997). he helped develop the detonation device for the atomic bomb in the Manhattan Project and later developed radiation therapy for cancer.

From humble beginnings, he rode a horse three miles to a one-room schoolhouse in Missouri while growing up.
