Hail and Farewell to Those We Lost in 2014-- Part 3

MESHACH TAYLOR--  Actor from "Designing Women."  How he put up with them, especially Delta?

ELI WALLACH--  Movie actor

FRANKLIN McCAIN--  Made his stand sitting down at that lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C.  A true hero.  Civil Rights.

RUBIN "HURRICANE" CARTER--  boxer.  Bob Dylan had that great song about him.

JAMES BRADY--  Took a bullet for Reagan.

STEPHANIE KWOLEK--  DuPont chemist who invented Kevlar which has saved a lot of good guys' lives.

RALPH BAER--  Invented that mean old Simon game, the first video game console in 1969.

S. DONALD STOOKEY--  Invented Corningware.  I've eaten more than a few things out of these.

MASSIMO VIGNELLI--  His maps, signs and logos are elegant and spare and just about everywhere.
