Went on his Discogs, according to which his real name was Marius Gerhardus Ferdinand Wilsterman (seems like he was Dutch, supported by two other sources 1 and 2). Then I went to MyHeritage, and this came out. It could be him, as the guy in the image was born in Suriname (a former Dutch colony) and the time period also pretty much checks out.

I believe so. Didn’t Kristofferson accept his induction into the Country Hall of Fame? It looks like he’s presenting him with a medal of some sort.

The burnt-out Phoenix cat, which was found under rubble in Andreevka near Kiev in April. The cat was picked up by the staff of a pet supply shop in Kiev. Phoenix has been treated and is now feeling well!

On this day 61 years ago in 1961 professional american diver and Olympic gold medallist Clarence Pinkston died aged 61. The olympian, born in Wichita, Kansas won a gymnastics title aged just 15 at the High School he attended in San Diego after moving to California. At the 1920 Olympics in Antwerp, Clarence won a gold medal in the mens 10 metre platform diving event and a silver medal in the mens 3 metre springboard event. Four years later at the Paris Olympics he won 2 bronze medals in diving, again in the 3 metre springboard and 10 metre platform diving event.

Ok, I will not force anyone to play. My age in the year 2037 is 37 years old.

Eastwood looks healthy when dressed, but I remember a couple of photos that were taken a few years ago on a beach. He had fist-sized varicose veins on the back of his knees. He may have blood circulation problems.

Gerhard Rodax, who played for Austria at the 1990 world cup, has died today aged 57 https://www.ligaportal.at/bundesliga/allgemein-news/12325-oefb-teamlegende-gerhard-rodax-57-verstorben

Obviously subjective but I think he has a decent claim to being the last survivor of a death camp to go on to become famous for a reason other than being a survivor.

I like this. It’s certainly closer to ‘antics’ than all the death notices that should be in a separate thread, as discussed before.

Death Race Form Guide #24 Joyce McKinney Miss Wyoming World 1973 (and she now claims to be 73) but that isn't the half of it where this connoiseur's nut-job is concerned. Obitable on the back of a life that's seen her mastermind the "manacled mormon" sex case in the UK (she apparently kidnapped a missionary, chained him and repeatedly forced him to have sex with her - all of it way before Boy George...we digress). She escaped trial for that one by fleeing the UK but has more recently made the news for a surreal slew of stories including cloning her deceased pit bull, aiding and abbeting a teenager to commit a robbery in aid of funds to get an artificial leg for her horse and - most recently - facing accusation of killing a Ukrainian survivor of the Holocaust by flattening him with her truck. Mysterious to the point it's not clear how she makes a living - having apparently never had a job since the late 70s, and afflicted with mobility problems, a plethora of pounds put on since her tabloid heyday and poor eyesight, recent reports have suggested a wheelchair and homelessness are now part of her life. DDT fingered her (heh heh) earlier this year as obscure but obitable fodder, so this timely reminder now adds itself to his earlier effort. https://www.dailynews.com/2020/04/02/woman-accused-of-running-over-holocaust-survivor-in-san-fernando-valley-has-led-a-tabloid-life/

Vicky Phelan is a hit for me.

The Joe Meek Society yesterday reported the death of Alan Dean, who died back in August aged 80. Frontman of Alan Dean and his Problems. Released singles in the mid-1960s through Decca and Pye. Failed to chart. Edit: I see the page also reported that Bobby Rio, frontman of Bobby Rio and the Revelles, died on 6 September. Three singles released through Pye Records in 1965. None charted. 2nd edit: Charles Ward of The Thunderbolts died in July as per this local obit. One single in 1963, which also failed to chart. 3rd edit: Gerry Temple (real name Keith De Groot) died back in March as per this. Singles released 1961–1969. None charted.

Couldn't find a report via search box. Steve Sesnick, sometime manager of The Velvet Underground, Obit: Stephen Sesnick Obituary (1941 - 2022) - Saint Augustine, FL - Legacy Remembers

The death of Veli Seppa should bring me to 263 which becomes the 4th highest total in AO history (behind Gerard Tierney '16, Cancerous Hatred '17 & Accthorp '06). If Tom Parker holds as the youngest hit, the 25 pt bonus would take me to 298 which would only trail #1 all-time by 10 points. Looking at my remaining list, not looking likely, but possible.

feck feck feck.........I'm changing my CPDP team through gritted teeth. He was first pick.

I was thinking of having a small wager on the Keno on Thursday night. Obviously I'd like a large return for my money, so I was wondering if you had any inside information I could use? Thursday's draw 768 in the NSW TAB looks to be where the money's to be made. Thanks, H
