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 . . .

[Toast 15,579]

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

[gcreptile 10,565]

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.

[ladyfiona 2,322]

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

[Wormfarmer 410]

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!

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

 

Grace Metalious would have been 100 years old this year
