maryportfuncity 10,623 Posted April 24, 2015 The Daily Telegraph continues to rock, IMHO at least, for their ability to find detailed obits for those who have hitherto escaped a mention hereabouts, like Joan Sinar http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/11561526/Joan-Sinar-county-archivist-obituary.html Presumably the DL equivalent of that daring raid on the Holborn bank vault would involve storming the Telegraph's selection of print-ready obits!

Dude was 93 as well, not 90. You'll do better next time, Time.SC Isn't the 'dead of 2015' a suitable thread for someone who died in 2015? As for his age, the report originally stated he was 90, so that's what I put. (Note to self - check multiple sources for deceased's age when posting in the future). P.S. the name is 'time' - 'Time' is a glossy magazine, no relation. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
