DevonDeathTrip 2,295 Posted May 30, 2011 Regarding Dr McPherson and her ilk...didn't we used to have a thread for deaths in the CURRENT YEAR worth watching. I.e. something dedicated to those who came up fast and died before we could bag them in the next year's deadpools. Ann McPherson is such a creature, she is sitting pretty as an occasional deadpool pick but most of us had missed her. She will not see 2012. I don't think it's going to be very long now. Dr McPherson can no longer make public appearances and was too ill to travel to accept a lifetime achievement award from the British Medical Journal this week (they're a bit like the Oscars for doctors) Her award was accepted on her behalf by, er, Hugh Grant! Dr McPherson has died, according to Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted June 5, 2011 No news on his health, but at 86 and therefore older than Clive 'Immortal' Dunn, the Disney legend Wally Boag is still with us. I mention him because he has his own myspace page, so we should be able to keep track of him. Pecos Bill and Slue Foot Sue have died within a day of each other. http://www.ocregister.com/news/taylor-3032...disneyland.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
