I'm more shocked that a prisoner claiming that they are terminally ill was actually telling the truth.

So when reading this news - https://torontosun.com/news/national/wrongfully-convicted-n-b-man-dies-four-months-after-exoneration - it is with great surprise it's actually the other half of the wrongfully jailed duo - Walter Gillespie - that's died. Can't see Mailman making 2025.

I must admit, I forgot this chap was on the list.
Anyway, he's coming over to the UK to perform at the Proms - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/25/bbc-unveils-2024-proms-lineup-daniel-barenboim-daleks-and-disco
If he's well enough to travel and conduct, I think he'll make it through the year.

Matt James of Mashd N Kutcher has multiple myeloma, and doesn't sound too optimistic about his chances in interviews I've seen.
Matt James to return to the stage, seems to be slowly recovering.. https://purplesneakers.tv/news/mashd-n-kutcher-issues-health-update-reveals-new-album-on-the-way/IQGfNTQ3Njk/26-04-24

According to the man himself on X, Mark Steel is cancer-free:
A nice man from UCL Hospital called this week, to say a scan of me showed the cancer I had has all gone. The treatment worked, the cancer bottled it and ran off, the wimp.

A racing colleague of mine rang Griffith Airport today.
Not only is Mr Goldsmith still alive, but he's at the airport working, as he apparently is every day.

51 minutes ago, Gisooo said:I don't know what to say, there is no death date for him in Accurint. I think that FamilySearch is not at all reliable due to the fact that it is recently listing many death dates of people with Wiki (one of them is the actress Joyce Taylor who surprisingly died in the same year as Paul in 2022?). I wonder if it is something reliable why doesn't it list the full date of death but only the year?
Thank you. I think the fact his airport wish him happy birthday is a big hmmm, I think its fake.

According to a post on the Family Search ancestry site, Goldsmith died off-radar 2022.
His aviation website say he's living. I'd be surprised if he died without any notice, but I guess its possible. There is a Facebook post wishing him a happy 98th as well from the airport.
I'll do a full and thorough search tonight but in the meantime:
@Gisooo anything on accurint?
Paul Goldsmith was born on 2 October 1925, in Parkersburg, Wood, West Virginia, United States as the son of Edward Goldsmith and Maysel Geraldine Henderson. He had at least 1 son with Helen. He lived in Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, United States in 1930 and Columbus, Franklin, Ohio, United States in 1940. He died in 2022, in Griffith, Calumet Township, Lake, Indiana, United States, at the age of 97, and was buried in Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens, Schererville, Lake, Indiana, United States.

No he's not.
Lew Chatterley is our oldest surviving caretaker or full time manager, born 1945. Took over after Branfoot resigned.

Incredibly popular manager for Reading.
Bought the troubled but brilliant Robin Friday, 'the best player you never saw'.
Quit at halftime in his last game, the first time that had happened (and can't have happened much since)
Very sorry to learn this. RIP
