I think my reasoning was that former U.S. Secretary of State, George Schultz had received a thread when he was in his mid eighties. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 7,105 Posted January 14, 2022 https://www.houstonchronicle.com/lifestyle/article/James-A-Baker-III-talks-cancel-culture-16764666.php Talked at some kind of an event about "cancel culture" four days ago. Can stand, walk without aid, talk properly. I don't think he'll go anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 3,950 Posted March 24, 2024 Was supposed to be at Brian Mulroney's funeral https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/brian-mulroney-state-funeral-1.7143866 Quote Former U.S. secretary of state James Baker was scheduled to delivery a eulogy but couldn't attend because of recent back surgery. Probably nothing but he is 94 at the the same time. Worth keeping an eye on. That aside would appear he's been ok up to relatively recently if he was scheduled to attend and speak 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimreaper 883 Posted January 9 I've been monitoring to see if he makes an appearance at Carter's funeral today. I haven't yet found any evidence that he was in attendance. They have a long history together, and have previously collaborated together at the Carter Center and and co-chaired the commission on Federal Election Reform. If he is not in attendance, I would consider it a red flag regarding his health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimreaper 883 Posted January 10 Found this on facebook. These photos were taken posted back in October of 2024 at the Greater Houston Quail Coalition. He seems to have physically declined quite a bit. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
