Peter Graves (1926-2010)

Four days shy of his 84^th birthday, Peter Graves died yesterday of apparently natural causes. He leaves behind a wife of 59 years and three daughters.

The original Mission Impossible was a great television series and I can remember watching some of the episodes in syndication when I was a kid. I remember that he was a guest star in an episode of the television show "Buck Rogers in the 25^th Century." Of course, he played the pilot in the Airplane movies. Most of all I remember his narration of the A&E show (59 episodes) "Biography" which he did from 1994-2006.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Phelps.
