Buzz Aldrin

Sounds most likely, although he doesn't have major health issues at the moment. The only living major presidential candidates who lost at the moment are: 1988 Michael Dukakis (b. 1933) 2000 Al Gore (b. 1948) 2004 John Kerry (b. 1943) 2012 Mitt Romney (b. 1947) 2016 Hillary Clinton (b. 1947) 2020 Donald Trump (b. 1946) 2024 Kamala Harris (b. 1964) Like with living presidents, there's a large group from the 1940's. I'm not proposing another prediction poll, but I could see multiple of them passing away in about 10-15 years time as well.

Ah yes, loved Bernard Hill as King Theoden in "Game of Thrones"...

As predicted, Black Bart passed away before making the team. Raphael as my new sub #3 please.

As reported on the forum some time ago, he's been diagnosed with Parkinson's. As he's only 72 he could go on for quite a while, but he didn't look great today. As a reminder, he unexpectedly lost his son Jeremy in 2015 and his wife Annette passed away in 2021.

Seemingly bad news for my sub #3 Black Bart, as sub #1 Le Pen and #2 Yarrow have passed away in short succession. News subs to be: Inah Canabarro Lucas Ian Smith

I'd like to play again as well. If you still had any doubt, I'm positive you won't look silly by comparison now @Steve!

Thanks for clearing this up. My apologies for the extra work, but glad that this will not happen again in future rounds.

@DoorSlammer thanks for letting me know, I'll do some research to see if I can find anything recent about her Update - I can't find anything as of yet. If allowed, I'd like to change my selection to Libia Lobo Sardesai please @Summer in Transylvania

My condolences @Bibliogryphon. Terribly sad news to hear, especially losing someone so close to you this sudden. Lots of love and strength to you and your loved ones.

As posted elsewhere, an obituary for Martin Karplus. Not sure how to read it but he possibly died on January 3rd?

That sounds interesting! As far as I'm aware, no one in my family appears on this list. I can imagine it could be shocking to see relatives listed on there, but ofcourse the list itself doesn't tell a complete story. Above all else, most people aren't just good or bad - especially during times of war. If possible and when you feel ready, I'd encourage you to visit the National Archive to read the files about your relatives. While you might find information that could shock you, it might also inform you that (some of) your family members didn't partake in any kind of collaboration. Always interesting to hear personal stories from the war.

Yeah, some confusion on my side about Gormley - my bad! I'd like to have Black Bart Harris as sub #3 please.

Has been a topic for months over here. In the end, it was decided at this moment to only publish online the index of people who were investigated, while the archives themselves will only be available in physical form for family members of the investigated people, as well as professional researchers. Mind you, this list contains all people who were investigated after the war. The majority was never prosecuted or even accused as necessary evidence wasn't found, while a very large portion of suspects was only indirectly collaborating (for instance, local councilors and mayors often had to choose between following orders from the occupier while trying to spare civilians, or resigning and being replaced by more "willing" collaborators). There were also people who appeared to be collaborating, while actively taking part in acts of resistance. Relevant topic in my field of work as well, so have talked quite a lot about it with colleagues in recent months.
