Today Wed 08 Aug 2018 I noticed that Stan Mikita was in the "In Memoriam" section of the site, he died yesterday. I did a double take because I thought Stan had already died some 10 years ago. Forget the Mandela effect this is the Mikita Effect. Hmm maybe I was confused because of this from the Wikipedia page for him: "January 30, 2015, the Chicago Tribune released this statement: “Stan has been diagnosed with suspected Lewy body dementia, a progressive disease, and was under the care of compassionate and understanding care givers," In June, it was revealed that due to his illness, he has no memory of his former life and is being cared for by his wife Jill." Maybe maybe not. But he was mentioned in Wayne's World (1992) and had a cameo in that and in later years in my memory of thinking he was dead I recalled thinking that Wayne's World was now a tribute to him. I then though maybe I was confusing him with another long time Blackhawk ...Bobby Hull but Hull is still alive. Man I could have sworn that Mikita had died around 10 years ago. See this is the sort of thing that the Mandela Effect is, not what some Youtubers think about seeing a dozen or so common (and sometimes not to common) mispellings of a name and assuming it is proof of parallel universes merging.
