I was babysitting grandchildren when word came that Friday morning that Henry Aaron died. Immediately, I reacted with sadness, and my first thought was, âWeâve lost a legend.â
I always wanted to meet Hank Aaron and get his autograph. When he owned his Honda dealership, I planned to purchase a car from his place when my current clunker finally bit the dust.

By R.A. Mathews Guest Columnist
It happened last week, Dec. 10, a half century ago. Boxes containing 294 million yen were stolen from a bank car. This was in the middle of the day without so much as a shot being fired.
It wasn’t the work of sophisticated thieves - just one young man with a well-crafted plan. The robbery took three minutes.
In 1968, in Japan, a car with four armed guards and nearly 300 million yen was stopped by a uniformed policeman on a motorcycle. This was an isolated area outside prison walls where there were no onlookers. This young “officer said there’d been a bank-related explosion, and he believed dynamite was on the car.
