Robert Johnson will be 97 this year. Never mind that he was murdered by a jealous husband 70 years ago; I think 97 is a good innings regardless.

I have been keeping my own death list since the beginning of 1993 - it is a subjective list of the peple whom I consider to be significant or important, and someone else's list would easily have several different names on it. I reckon that the most significant person to be on my list for each year has been as follows: 1993 Chris Hani 1994 Kim Il-Sung 1995 Harold Wilson 1996 Francois Mitterrand 1997 Princess Diana 1998 Pol Pot 1999 King Hussein of Jordan 2000 Donald Dewar 2001 King Birendra of Nepal 2002 Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother 2003 Roy Jenkins 2004 Ronald Reagan 2005 Pope John Paul II 2006 Saddam Hussein 2007 Benazir Bhutto

According to www.deadoraliveinfo.com, she is now believed to be 101; they previously had her listed as 110. The wikipedia page mentioned earlier says that the Ruby born in 1907 and was white was different from the Ruby listed in 1920 as aged c.15.
