> [@Baker](#): > > I could have given you my list from last year! It was only slightly used, with two deaths, and all of my choices were over 95 years old. It didn’t help. I don’t think that it fit my theme. While quickly researching to fill out my list while chaos was erupting all around me I did find a few low pointers the met the criteria. But I’m an ethical Death Pooler. I will only put on my list people I have heard of prior to making my list. I doesn’t feel right to stretch the limits of what a celebrity is. ---
