Thanks Joey! I'm guessing Sara Coward is going to be a hit for a bunch of teams...

Out of sheer curiosity, does anyone have an accurate grasp of how old he was? Wiki has it as 101 (born Dec 1915), while your source has him at 102, and I'm pedantic enough to wonder I'd probably go with the Dec 1915 birthdate, which makes him 101 - I guess the source just deducted birth year from death year, much like the DL front page! Thank you! Also, we've had 7 deaths this month from this wiki list, not counting any deaths last month, as well as not counting Adele Dunlap, who was only famous for being old. Off the top of my head I can recall 2-3 centenarian deaths last month from the linked list. At the same time, the list only grew by 7 names since the start of the year, which means it's shorter than it was end of 2016. I guess what I'm asking is: -Will we see a net reduction in the list this year, as opposed to a net increase? -Should the deaths of famous centenarians increase expectations for the main DL going down as well? Thoughts, anyone?

Joey, will we be getting an update of the scoreboard soon?
