ThereWillBeDeaths7

After having avoided Last Christmas for some time, I've been Whammed thrice today. Twice at work (on the radio) and a final time at home (my wife's spotify, while we were setting up our christmas tree).

Thanks!! The first residual game has ended after almost five years, and I'm glad to have won it. Might even be my first forum game win. Congratulations to @Bibliogryphon as well, who takes 2nd place! Our picks Arnold Yarrow and Loretta Ford were the sole survivors since 8 April 2023.

Thanks! Guillermo Rodriguez Lara for me please

Some happy news I want to share with all of you: about two months ago, my wife and I became parents for the first time. Our son is in good health and growing well, just as my wife has recovered well from giving birth. Our daily lives have changed massively, but we're lucky enough to have lots of loved ones who are there for us in these changing times. We're both completely in love with our boy, and it's great to see him learn new things.

I'm not sure if she did it for you.

So sorry for your loss, Drol. Wishing you and your loved ones a lot of love and strength.

Fred R. Harris (D-Oklahoma) served in the U.S. Senate from 1964-1973. He was the earliest surviving senator, as well as the senator with the longest retirement - no other living senator retired in the 1970's. He also was the 3rd oldest living senator, as well as the oldest surviving Democratic senator. The top 5 looks like this now: 1. Nicholas F. Brady (1930) (R-New Jersey, 1982) 2. Rudy Boschwitz (1930) (R-Minnesota, 1978-1991) 3. Mack Mattingly (1931) (R-Georgia ,1981-1987) 4. Alan K. Simpson (1931) (R-Wyoming, 1979-1997) 5. J. Bennett Johnston (1932) (D-Louisiana, 1972-1997) Bob Packwood now is the last living US senator from the 1960's; he served as senator from Oregon 1969-1995.

You're more than welcome to join next years residual game, @Bobytomi! Meanwhile in this years game, we've just had two hits in short succession, after a 7-month dry spell. The deaths of Yuriko and Olav Thon mean sad news for @tracy and @Azrael, but not for the remaining nine players in the game! 9/13 in play Viginia Halas McCaskey (ladyfiona) Gloria Whelan (Bibliogryphon) Rudolph Marcus (Steve) Ida Vitale (MariNisia) Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat (Yvonne) Vincent Ball (Grimgrass) Socorro Ramos (diego) Julie Mandel (ThereWillBeDeaths7) Tom Hughes (Summer in Transylvania) --- 10. Olav Thon (tracy) / 16 November 2024 11. Yuriko, Princess Mikasa (Azrael) / 15 November 2024 12. Márta Peterdy-Wolf (Hell) / 16 April 2024 13. Judith Hemmendinger (WEP) / 24 March 2024

Jean Marie Le Pen as my third sub please.

9/11 also being his birthdate. I can't begin to imagine what a nightmare that day must've been for him in 2001.

June Spencer was a hit for me as well. Abdoulaye Wade as my third sub please.

Jody Gormley as my new sub as well

November 5th

Wish you the best, arghton. Get well soon.

Would be a shame indeed, really popular in my wife's family and we've got some Finlayson products in our home as well. One of the most iconic Finnish companies in my opinion.

My team for this round: Jimmy Carter Dick Van Dyke David Attenborough Steve McMichael June Spencer Sonny Rollins Noam Chomsky José Mujica Georg Koch Andrew Bruce, 11th Earl of Elgin Zhu Rongji Janey Godley Esther Rantzen King Albert of Belgium Yuriko, Princess Mikasa Emmanuel Wamala Roberta Flack James Clayton Flowers Lord Nicholas Monson David Irving subs: John Cruickshank Pope Francis Duke Edward of Kent

I got a message you can't receive new messages. Just so you know

Because he's registered to vote in Georgia.

Dick Van Dyke as my new 3rd sub please.

Additional fun fact about Daniel J. Evans: Serving as governor of Washington (1965-1977), he outlived his four immediate successors, who passed away at the ages of 79, 91, 76 and 78; While his immediate predecessor as governor of Washington (1957-1965), Albert D. Rosellini (wiki), was the oldest US governor in history, passing away at the age of 101 in 2011.

Oldest US senator now is Nicholas Brady (94), better known for being treasury secretary in the administrations of Reagan and Bush Sr. Top 5 oldest U.S. senators at the moment: 1. Nicholas F. Brady (1930) (R-New Jersey, 1982) 2. Rudy Boschwitz (1930) (R-Minnesota, 1978-1991) 3. Fred R. Harris (1930) (D-Oklahoma, 1964-1973) 4. Mack Mattingly (1931) (R-Georgia ,1981-1987) 5. Alan K. Simpson (1931) (R-Wyoming, 1979-1997)

Rupert Keegan as my third sub, please

Has a new hat (Traditional hat giving to him during his visit to Papua New Guinea)

Last week, someone edited Floyd's wiki to state he died on January 9, 2021 at the age of 106. @Ulitzer95 took it down rightly because the edit was unsourced. Just in case some of our senior online researchers missed the information and could use it in finding a death date for Floyd.

Sven-Göran was also a hit for me; Frank Caprio moves up and my new sub is the Earl of Elgin.
