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

DCI Frank Burnside 3,889 Posted March 24 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
