Jerry Herman dead at 85.
I think you meant 88, not 85.
Don Imus-79
Actress Sue Lyon has died of natural causes at age 73.
TV producer Lee Mendelson dead at 86, right after his crowning achievement played again. RIP Mr. Mendelson; you done good. You done real, real good.
Damn, I remember sitting down to watch that show when it first aired. I was ten, and escited that the characters were going to talk and move.
In the mourning?
Go to your room

William Greider, political writer for various publications including the Washington Post and Rolling Stone, dies at 83

Visual designer and artist Syd Mead at 86, known for his work on Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Blade Runner, Tron 2010 and Aliens, among others.
Oh wow. Or should I say “Ouch!”
ISWYDT, but that “Ouch!” needed a link.

N/M. Wrong thread.
Just over 12 hours left for someone on RAL’s or GIGO’s lists to kick the bucket and get them the win.

Fernando Ricksen - 57
Fatima Ali - 71
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - 52
Leah Bracknell - 45
José José - 29
It appears that José José was missed because I listed him by his legal name, José Rómulo Sosa Ortiz.
I’m just glad to be on the board this year with my measly 15 points.
Next year! I’ll win next year! Yeah, right…
