Michael Cole, who most famously portrayed Pete Cochran,
one of the three young undercover cops on ABC’s crime
drama Mod Squad (1968-1973), died on Tuesday at the
Medical Center in Tarzana, California. No cause of death
has been revealed at this time.
Cole was the last surviving member of the original cast.
On December 10, 1690, a failed attack on Quebec and subsequent
near-mutiny force the Massachusetts Bay Colony to issue the
first paper currency in the history of the Western Hemisphere.
On December 10, 1922, the Canton Bulldogs defeated the Toledo Maroons, 19-0, and are declared the first champion of the newly
renamed National Football League.
Canton finished the season 10-0-2, allowing 15 points, producing
nine shutouts. The league champion is determined by best regular-season record.
Future Hall of Famer William Pete Henry, a 5-foot-11, 245-pound
tackle and kicker, and player-coach Guy Chamberlin were the
team’s stars.
On its final approach to Madison, Wisconsin on December 10,
1967, the private plane carrying soul-music legend Otis Redding
would crash into the frigid waters of a small lake three miles
short of the runway, killing seven of the eight men aboard,
including Redding.
His megahit “Sittin’ On The Dock Of The Bay” would be released
in its “unfinished” form several weeks later. It would soon
become history’s first posthumous #1 hit and the biggest pop
hit of Redding’s career.
