Jack Carlson, tenor with The Room(m)ates, died back on June 12, beyond which I have no info. http://www.oldiesmusic.com/news.htm Here's the entry from the page: Jack Carlson, first tenor and falsetto singer with the Room(m)ates died Friday (June 12). The group was formed at Sage Junior High in Queens, New York and recorded for the Valmore label, owned by their managers. Their first hit recording was actualy as a backup to Cathy Jean Giordano (who they never met until the song was released) on her recording of "Please Love Me Forever" (#12-1961), but they then charted on their own with "Glory Of Love" (#49-1061). However, subsequent recordings both wih and without Cathy Jean failed to chart and the quartet disbanded in 1965. Jack later moved to Littleton, Colorado.

Anyone see John Hurt at the Wimbledon Men's Final today? Sad to say, but 2016 might be a struggle to make. Looks aren't everything though, I hope his treatment is a success.

I had a feeling she was picked but when I saw that she wasn't there under Douglas, so I assumed she wasn't chosen. Doh! Cool beans, I am always breathing a huge sigh when a woman dies, especially if she's been married more than once, because I always check every freaking name they have had just to rule them in/out of the DDP. And as for the Chinese with their first names last and their last names first...I don't know how you do it so well in the first place TMIB, I couldn't bear it! Still loving your work.

It's always me I'm afraid. Diana Douglas, listed as Diana Dill, first wife of Kirk needs to be added. http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=518&p=230940 Don't want to annoy anyone, but I could do a round up every 3 or 4 days, just adding links to the relevant posts I find. Then it could be a one stop shop in this thread. Always happy to help any way I can, it's not as if I'm spending any time at all gathering/counting my own DDP points lol.
