Gail Sheehy
Gail Sheehy (November 27, 1936-August 24, 2020) examined the myriad challenges facing adults facing mid-life crises, marital failures, changing gender roles and cultural shifts, and the questioning of identity in her 1976 bestselling book “Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life.” To examine familiar patterns in aging and express a hopeful message, she drew on more than 100 interviews, research, and personal stories that happiness can be found beyond youth.

Frankie Banali
The “Metal Health” Quiet Riot album of 1983 was the first heavy metal album to top the Billboard 200 chart, displacing The Police’s “Synchronicity.” “Metal Health” later sold over 10 million copies worldwide, driven in no small part by Frankie Banali’s Drumming (November 14, 1951-August 20, 2020). The Queens-born, L.A.-bred drummer played with several bands, opening up for himself as David Bowie and Faces before he formed Quiet Riot with longtime bandmates Rudy Sarzo, Kevin DuBrow, and Carlos Cavazo.
