Actor/writer/playwright Sam Shepard, 73.
No takers for Sklar, Moreau, Deutsch, Shepard
NM, did not realize we were on a new page…
Herbert Needleman, the real-life tooth fairy and anti-lead crusader.
Kenneth Wilkinson, 11th remaining pilot of the Battle of Britain. 1 point.
Ara Parseghian, college football coach, age 94.
My fault… I took him off my list this year. :smack:
Robert Hardy, aged 91. Harry Potter and All Creatures Great and Small.
Jazz guitarist Chuck Loeb, from the groups Fourplay and Steps Ahead, dies at 61.
I met him once, perhaps 20 years ago. Seemed a nice guy.
In other news, Hywel Bennett has died at 27 points.
I’m not a participant in this game, but I just discovered that Goldy McJohn, keyboard player one of the founding members of Steppenwolf, has died at age 72.
Man, this game makes me feel old.
I recall arguing about Magic Carpet Ride lyrics with a friend.
Robert Hardy was an expert on medieval weaponry, especially the longbow. The Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth asked him to help them sort out the proper usage of the weapons they have there. He also wrote two books on the longbow

Feel old? If you were arguing those lyrics with a friend back when it was on the radio, you aren’t exactly a spring chicken.
Of course, neither am I. Heard that song on the radio the other day, and for just a brief moment, it was 1968.
I think it was after 1972. Guy kept playing base guitar on his little stereo with head phones and popping power transistors. I heard he works in electronics repair now. 
Darren Daulton, former Philadelphia Phillie, has died of brain cancer at the age of 55.
Betty Cuthbert, Australian Olympian aged 79.
Some people will always be one role in my head no matter how many other parts they play. He will always be Siegfried.
As a Philly guy, this is sad news. As a Death Pool player, this is 45 points and a Unique Pick for me.
