Here's a photo from this weekend of Trevino and Nicklaus. They are both 81.

While checking on people related to Red Rum, the horse who was on the Deathlist in the 1990s and was a hit in 1995: Red Rum's breeder, Martyn McEnery seems to have died off our radar in May 2019 aged 88 (atleast I can't find a post mentioning his death anywhere. Checked his first name, surname and the Horse Racing thread) https://www.racingpost.com/bloodstock/red-rums-breeder-martyn-mcenery-dies-at-the-age-of-88/378920 Red Rum's trainer Ginger McCain died in 2011 and this was reported here. Owner Noel le Mare is certainly dead as he was said to be "elderly" in the 1970s, already died in 1980 according to some pages. Rum's late 70s jockey Tommy Stack is still living, 76 in November.

Worth noting that the only other title credit of Up was Christopher Plummer, who also died this year.

The younger among us will remember this role he played. In Up he was that grumpy old geezer who didn't want to move to a senior citizen facility so he uprooted his house. Great movie.

My mantra.

Husband's been dead for 80 years and she's not wearing black? Don't care for this new breed of nonnas.

Maria Oliva a.k.a. Nonna Marietta gives up her seat to Ida Zoccarato: 112 years, 91 days and a pretty good shape judging by this recent picture

Boris Pahor is 108 today! Reportedly frail and homebound, but still able to deambulate and sound of mind.

Be interesting to see if Apilado gets a QO: part of me thinks she should via AP, but her death being reported in an announcements page and not a news story makes me wonder. On a side note: if Eileen Ash makes it another two months, will she be the first British super-centenarian with claims to non-longevity fame? Jerzy Pajączkowski-Dydyński was born in modern-day Poland, George Frederick Ives was only famous for being the last surviving Boer War soldier and Katherine Plunket was born/died/lived entirely in modern-day Ireland. Am I missing someone?

Sure, have two at once: Trygve Brudevold (wiki), Norwegian Olympic bobsledder (1952, 1956), dead at 100. Ruth Apilado (wiki), American newspaper editor and anti-racism activist, dead at 113. Apilado ofc was the last living person of note (for reasons other than age) born in 1908.

Dead
