Senator Walter Huddleston of Kentucky dead at 92. He was defeated for re-election by Mitch McConnell. This also brings the number of living Senators that are veterans of the Second World War down to six. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2018/10/16/former-senator-walter-dee-huddleston-kentucky-dies/1657899002/

Just need de Klerk for apartheid bingo

When I saw this thread bump I was hoping for at least a hospitalization. Click bait disappoints again.

Only if by Arizona you mean Maryland.

If anyone is interested I recently did some research and discovered there are still 21 Catholic Bishops who were in attendance at Vatican II alive today. This includes four Cardinals and one Bishop who left the church. The youngest of the 21 is 86 and the oldest is 103 and a roughly average age of 94.

Gone now. Looks like vandalism.

Sorry about that. For some reason I read Carl Reiner also worthy of attention.

He’s 96. Try harder Putin.
