RIP Bart Starr

Hall of Fame Packer QB (and MVP of the first Super Bowl) Bart Starr has died at age 85.

As a personal aside, my parents lived next door to Bart Starr and his wife at Alabama in the married students housing, known then as "the barracks" (converted WWII surplus quonset huts).

It's sort of startling that sports celebrities who were current when I was growing up are now dying of old age. RIP Bart. --Bob
