Deaths: "A Different World"-- Over 500 Foster Kids

LOU MYERS, 76

Died Feb. 19th.  Character actor best-known for his role on "The Cosby Show" spinoff "A Different World" from 1988-1993.  He played the owner of the campus eatery, Mr. Gaines.  His career spanned five decades.

I really enjoyed that sitcom and his gruffness.


AURELLA M. "ORA" HALL, 96

Died Feb. 19th.  She and her husband took in over 500 foster kids beginning in the 1930s until the late 70s after raising two of their own children.  She's take them for a few days or until grown.  Starting in the 1980s she began volunteering three days a week at the Salvation Army food kitchen and did that well into her 80s.

The world needs more people like this woman.
