Magere Hein 1,397 Posted March 3, 2006 Valter Heuer - Estonian Chess Historian and author of the book "The Troubled Years of Paul Keres, the Great Silent One" has just died at the age of 77. I'm trying to find a link for him I'm sure MH will find one First time I hear that name. I couldn't find a link to Heuer's death quickly. Paul Keres was a strong Estonian chess grandmaster from the 1930's to the 1960's. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest iain Posted March 3, 2006 news just in that actress Jenny Tamburi has also passed away at 53 and the well known german tv personality Annette Von Aretin has died you might also be interested to know that the president of the Belfast Titanic Society John Parkinson has died at 99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald rick 9 Posted March 3, 2006 news just in that actress Jenny Tamburi has also passed away at 53 and the well known german tv personality Annette Von Aretin has died If you have to say 'well known' they probably aren't. 'German TV personality' would suffice. Or are you saying that Jenny Tamburi wasn't well known? If so, it's not exactly a near miss for DeathList, is it?

BrunoBrimley 83 Posted March 3, 2006 Hugh McCartney ,the former labour MP and father of labour party chairman Ian McCartney has died at 86 also former mayor of Vienna Leopold Gratz has died and Peter Snow has died It occurrs to me Iainieai that insrtead of posting cheap half links which many times go dead in a matter of hours or days, you might also want to tell us a wee bit of a but abotu your posteees. For example tellus more about this Peter Snow. Was he at all realated to country music singer Hank Snow? Or may be even the song siren Phoebe Snow<.? dont go gettinhg me wrong here Iian I at times apprecuate your posts heere to let us know who has kicked off but so many tymes it is just a cheap worthless link. And stop thje Wakkipedia links they have been proven far too often to be false. At the very least try a actual newspaper or televeision link they bare much more substantial creeedence than Wakipedia/ thats all for now, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest iain Posted March 3, 2006 I often do post links to proper news sources where available,.I only post links to wikipedia articles if there is no independent news articles available.If people want me to stop posting deaths I will.Just say.

Tempus Fugit 212 Posted March 3, 2006 Californias oldest person Marion Higgins has died at 112 I think you should post that news in the Worlds oldest thread as well iain. I could only find one newspaper that reported it The Orange County Register. I guess the fact she was the 6th oldest US citizen just didn't cut it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry iain, I was just once again demonstrating the lowest form of wit (I was being sarcastic). What I meant was the Liberal Democrat Party have effectively killed themselves (politically). I'll try never ever ever to be sarcastic again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
