msc 18,475 Posted June 21, 2022 A forgotten but classy name for your long lists. Watched the four part Challenger: The Final Flight documentary from 2020. It skips on the some of the grimmer moments of the disaster, but otherwise a good in depth watch about an avoidable crisis. I hadn't realised Christa McAuliffe had essentially video taped most of her last 6 months alive. Bit grim. As this was recorded in 2020, most of the folk who come out with any credit - Roger Boisjoly, Bob Ebelling, Richard Feynman, Sally Ride and so on - are long gone now. However, still going, and 89 later this year, is General Donald Kutyna, one of the most decorated US air force officers alive. With the help of Sally Ride's internal memos from NASA (she was kept anonymous as whistle-blower until she died), Kutyna and Feynman were able to prove that the O-rings stopped working properly when frozen, which was what the engineers had been trying to tell NASA for years. Donald Kutyna has never been mentioned on this forum and never picked for the DDP. Presumably because, like myself until now, I had assumed, as a close colleague of Feynman, he must have been long dead by now! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,585 Posted July 2, 2022 Someone to watch out for that only Wimbledon fans will know is a man called David Spearing. He's been a steward at Wimbledon for over 40 years and he's in his 80's now. He was always seen by the players box. (Scottish Sun, Wikipedia) My parents were watching the matches on centre court yesterday and they couldn't see him. He apparently didn't attend last year either.

arghton 6,739 Posted July 2, 2022 Some names, not mentioned in a while or not mentioned at all. Gaston Glock (Founder of Glock, that developed the Glock pistol. Rubber mallet assasination attempt in 1999, two strokes, family issues, also a Deathlisty name in my opinion) Randy Gardner (Record holder, see Randy Gardner sleep deprivation experiment) Norman Scarth (WWII vet, political candidate - not mentioned here in a while, 97 this year) David Murdock (one of the oldest billionaires, now 98, eleven years ago he said that he'll live to 125, doubt it) Joanne Herring - Suprised to find that according to the search feature she's never been mentioned here before. 93, and has had a very interesting life. And some of my less notable Finnish names for low requirement pools: Schlager singers Tauski Peltonen (alcoholic wifebeater with heart problems and sleep apnea, 60 this year which is a lot with his habits. Recently revealed that he's still drinking a lot) Jorma Kalevi (lived in Spain for most of the last decades, alcohol problems, now lung fibrosis and came back to Finland earlier this year. He's apparently outlived the life expectancy given to him by doctors by over half a year now and is starting to feel like a form of Superstar Billy Graham but has been suspiciously quiet the last few months) Artists Veli Seppä (Art forger and painter suffering from lung cancer since 2011 that has spread to the trachea and is now terminal. No idea how he's still alive.) Outi Heiskanen (suffering from late stage alzheimer's since around 2017, now 84) Juhani Palmu (Have to mention him here. Diabetes, stroke, heart problems, history of smoking and drinking, stroke, heart attack, battled three different cancers plus now battling cancer, two near-fatal house fires that have resulted in him loosing all the fingers on one of his hands, one leg and multiple toes. The second fire put him into coma, he was critical in ICU and his heart stopped beating twice during a surgery. He's 77, must be some kind of a medical miracle) Also mentioning...Classical pianist Gary Graffman: 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
