Albert Baez, the world renowned physicist, died on Tuesday at the age of 94. He was the father of Joan Baez and Mimi Farina.

He certainly had a long and fruitful life, as did Joan's mother , born in 1913 and still going strong.

Joan Baez definitely drew the long straw when it came to allocation of longevity genes (although, sadly, her sister didn't ...)

My thoughts go out to Joan Baez and her family at this time. From what I read of her father, he had a life well lived.

And perhaps your grandfather ? I met Abo Baez about thirty years ago when he had an old family friend and me up to lunch at the place in Carmel Valley. I remember Zig Zag . Not knowing was it a name, or instructions up the driveway :) Just us three. All I can say is it was an incredible treat that I will always remember. And I hope that his last days. weeks, months brought him peace and not a broken heart, with awful mess W has wrought. A most exemplary family, I love them all.
