What's sad is living to 81 years of age but sick and unloved, a burden to the community. Archie was 81 years old, still working, doing what he loved [and a better singer at 80 than he was at 60, IMHO]; giving one final performance and that's that. What a way to go, I'd say.</p> http://seattlest.com/2006/05/26/seattle_opera_icon_archie_drake_dies.php#comment-164082 http://seattlest.com/2006/05/26/seattle_opera_icon_archie_drake_dies.php#comment-164082 Comments Fri, 26 May 2006 13:21:43 -0800 <p>How very sad. I just had a chance to meet this man 2 weeks ago backstage at the opera. A damned fine man. </p>
