A few thoughts about Forrest Blue, one of the N.F.L.’s best centers of the early 1970s. Blue was residing at an assisted-living facility in Carmichael, Calif., when he died last week at age 65 or 66 (There is some discrepancy as to whether he was born in 1944 or in 1945.) According to his daughter, Blue began exhibiting symptoms of dementia about 15 years ago. His brain will be sent to Boston University for further study.
