My brother and I loved watching Major Astro after school.

But sad news:  Tom Leahy Jr., Kansas television’s Major Astro dies at 87.

Here’s the news clip from KSN.

Happy Orbits, Major Astro.

    I was a little old and sophisticated for Major Astro (13 the year the program started), but my younger siblings were fans. Eighty-seven is a nice long life.
