  1. These 5 are fairly big names. Felton is the father of operating system GEORGE and a computer science pioneer who worked fo Ferranti. Wyrsch is one of the most revered living Swiss painters. Gruber was the first American archaeologist to lead an excavation in a Communist country (Czechoslovakia, 1966) I know Roothaan for useful Roothaan equations. Milton Quon, along with Ruthie Thompson, is the last pre-WWII Disney animator. I hope they all get their obits, they deserve them.

    Ideas and Possibilities for 2020

    Four ailing utterly despicable businessmen who seem simply unsinkable: 1)Stanley Ho (1921): Macao billionaire and Hong Kong Mafia associate. Suffered a serious stroke in 2009 and in February 2019 he was admitted to ICU with organ failure, which his family minimized. 2)Shin Kyuk-ho (1922): South Korean founder of Lotte Corporation, he appears to be uber-frail and wheelchair bound. in 2017 he was sentenced to prison for embezzling 119 million dollars, but remained free due to "failing health". 3)Sumner Redstone (1923): The CEO of Viacom and a Jewish gangster. Has suffered from dementia for years. 4)John Rigas (1924) founder of Adelphia and convicted fraudster. Terminally ill with bladder cancer in 2015. Then healed when released from prison. Well, these people could ask themselves what could they do for this world, and find an easy answer.

    My father died at 5.44 a.m. local time this morning. He would have turned 88 in August.
  10. He is in his final hours/days. I wish it is soon, I can't see him suffering anymore.

    Valeria Valeri out for the count. Franca Valeri was attending a christening last month, so she is well enough for now.

    MMMDP 2019!

    Great, Clorox. I did not even have the time to join. Fast as lightning. Just for the record, the pick I chose mid-May was the now late Edward Seaga. I would have picked Bangladeshi superstar Helal Hafiz for this.
