I wasn't surprised much about Svend Asmussen. You know though, he had such a long career with his violin and the jazz he brought with it. Starting to perform as a mere child back in the 1920s and continued to until 2010, when he had one of those nasty blood clots..

Dr. Sri Sri Sri Sivakumara Swamiji, famous Indian humanitarian, celebrated becoming a supercentenarian some days ago.

Sivakumari is one of the real oddities super centenarian who has a shot at q/o in most pools on merit alone. Respect to the man

[Death Impends 7,975]

On the topic of recent centenarian birthdays, one of my on-site deadpooling regulars, communist spy Morton Sobell, hit the grand three digits yesterday. Not on any DDP teams this year but his ties to the Rosenbergs guarantee an obit so he'd be a worthy recruit for any 2018 centenarian theme teams should he make it that far.
