Yet another thread I can't believe has died and withered.

2015 (so far): Reasons are personal and contradict each other on a monthly basis and that's ok it's my list my rules. "Most Significant" can mean a lot of things, but in general if the wind got taken outta my sails for a brief moment, I felt real sadness and that's 'significance'. Otoh my DPs were all sassy with points when Givens died, and it was an I Told You So moment and this my greatest pick in DP so far, and thus significant. I also love those goofy people we didn't know about but who impacted our lives, so June for instance I only have one person worth a damn and it's the inventor of the hula hoop, which is significant. My rules my list.

Jan - Edgar Froese; Donna Douglas / Ernie Banks
Feb - Ahmad Givens; Leonard Nimoy / Dean Smith
Mar - Sam Simon; Gene Patton / Michael Graves
Apr - Percy Sledge; Jonathan Crombie / Gary Dahl / Albert Taubman
May - BB King and Marques Haynes (tie); Rutger Gunnarsson
June - Chris Squire; Horst Brandstaetter
July - Rowdy Roddy Piper; Master Gee / Charlie Sanders / Kathleen Snavely
Aug - ​​Vincent Maotta Sr.; Yvonne Craig / Bud Yorkin / Herbert Wise
Sept - Yogi Berra; Daniel Thompson / Phil Woods​

The only people who care about months are tax inspectors, astrologers and period-havers.
