Summer in Transylvania

Happy Birthday, YoungWillz. I hope your day continues to be good.

Does anyone know whether fitness advocate and model Betty Brosmer (Wiki) was born in 1929 or 1935? I have seen a number of sources run with either of these dates, but nothing definitive enough to confirm one over the other.

Richard Saul Wurman (Wiki), the surviving of the two founders of TED Conferences, will be 90 next year. I'm not sure how his health is, but he's apparently going to put in an appearance at a TED Talk in November, which implies that he may be okay for the foreseeable. Regardless, he's still a name to be aware of.

Daniel J. Evans a hit for me. Thanks go to Yvonne who suggested him to me yesterday as a replacement for David Graham. New Round: 1924: Jimmy Carter / Priscilla Pointer 1925: Tony Christopher / June Lockhart 1926: Abdoulaye Wade / Noreen Riols 1927: L. K.

Thanks, MariNisia. I could have sworn I'd already seen Price picked by someone else this round, but apparently not.

David Graham is also a hit for me, so please add Philip Zimbardo to the subs list. Thanks.

Of I course I forgot to submit a team, which, like the last several dozen, would have had David Graham on it, after the new round was declared. Of course I did. Oops. Congratulations, Yvonne. 1924: Ip Chun / Priscilla Pointer 1925: Daniel J. Evans / June Lockhart 1926: Abdoulaye Wade / Noreen Riols 1927: William Daniels / Leontyne Price 1928: Kim Yong-nam / Hazel Ascot 1929: Charles Dumont / Betty Brosmer 1930: Sonny Rollins / Gladys West 1931: Alan K. Simpson / Isabel Martinez de Peron 1932: Indarjit Singh / Louise Weinberg 1933: Alexander Mitta / Julie Newmar

16/55.

This is probably the funniest thing I have seen all day.

Good riddance to the beggar, but I am somewhat disappointed I now can't suggest him for the Advent Avalanche with the caption that his cancer diagnosis and frequent hospitalisations are Peruvian him to be one to watch.

Fujimori is a hit for me. José Mujica to join the subs bench, please.

Caterina Valente is a hit for Diego. Congratulations. New Round:

His paternal grandparents were Robert and Elnora Jones, which would suggest the former. Like James Earl Carter.

As a lifelong Star Wars fan I'm utterly gutted, but not shocked. He was among the oldest cast members across the franchise (James Hong being the oldest, as he had roles in The Clone Wars and Rebels), and not in entirely robust health either. Needless to say, he is yet another major part of the franchise gone, and he will be missed. Rest in Peace, James Earl Jones. Thank you for your work, Darth, you helped bring a truly iconic villain to life.

15/55.

James Earl Jones is a hit for me. New Round:

Zoot Money dead at 82.

I said prior to 2018, as that is when the profile, which includes a mention of death, just not when, was last updated. Thus, he could not have died more recently, else there would be no death field for him.

I can't find anything concrete enough to say for certain, but it looks like Eugene Raymond died either in or prior to January 2018.

This, however, seems to confirm van Loggerenberg's death on the date Wikipedia has listed.

I would not take anything Crem says seriously right now.

James Darren dead at 88. A DDP Pick.
