Using posts in the listed threads below, along with User Profiles, I am in the process of putting together a list of  
all Dopers over 49 years of age, using 1963 as the latest year when that is true today.

Please let me know (in this thread) if there are any needed additions or corrections. I had to resort to arithmetic  
to guess at birth years in quite a few cases.
