Just realised I got added hits when checking up on this:

 

H - Henry Kissinger

I – Jonnie Irwin

M - Shane MacGowan

N - Ngethe Njoroge

Z - Zvi Zamir

 

If Oscar Quitak is dead then I also have him.

 

The scoring got me confused slightly so have left it for now.

Here is mine: only 1 hit so far. @Wormfarmer. Perhaps you should send a Group PM to those who have not sent you their updates yet? I see several have replied already, but not many. (Hopefully everyone will get back to you before Jimmy Carter dies.)
 

That is okay if it takes a while for some to see the post and respond.  I am in no hurry.  In fact, what I am asking for is a summaries closer to the game end, and I will create a leaderboard from that, double check frontrunner scores, and then just monitor the obits for the last couple of weeks for any late changes.  So far no one has proposed any idea what could have happened to my scoring page though, very strange thing I've not had happen here before . . .

Could you check with admin and see if it was deleted. Like check a history log etc.

I have Anouk Aimée, and I believe she qualifies for a 5 vowel bonus.

If this is an acceptable NBC obit, then Yosh Uchida is a hit for me:

Last week, Yosh Uchida even received an esteemed NYT obit.

Just realised that I got a hit for Yosh Uchida as well. I forgot I had him until doing research for something else.

Thanks to those who have posted their hit list and scores....please keep them coming.  I have a lot of work to do ....

If I run another year it will probably start Aug 10th   Sept 10.....with a minor tweak or two, like dropping that blasted Vowel Movement bonus! :wacko:

Why? I think my interpretation of it makes an interesting bonus.

 

Grace Metalious would have been 100 years old this year :D
