oh my gosh, 5th place! and 5 picks, I believe that’s the best I’ve ever done; although I have no way of easily checking since when my computer crashed/fried/died last year, I lost everything, all my files, documents, pictures, videos, etc.  
Just recently got back on-line which is why this **Thank You to Baker** is so late.

Well it’s too late to do anything about this now and it wouldn’t have made any difference to my placement but I went and rebuilt my 2025 excel sheet. I found I actually had 6 deaths and a total of 192 points and probably 2 unique picks. It appears that the death that was not accounted for was Judge Frank Caprio - born 11/24/1936 - died 8/20/2025 at 88 yrs old or 12 points. Obviously, his death wasn’t of note so it wasn’t picked up and since I didn’t have a computer and access to the internet until 2 wks ago, I didn’t know it either. So, no shade at all, just wanted to sort of toot my horn a little bit.
