Not in chronological order, but my 12th hit so far. And now I see from Lafaucheuse's list that Genevieve de Galard died too. Make that 13. Holy shit, I guess I need to keep up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,565 Posted June 19 Graham Caveney releases a 3rd memoir, this time, with more cancer: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-diary-of-a-dying-man-graham-caveneys-poignant-cancer-memoir/ He was given 18 months to live with treatment in May 2022. He reluctantly accepted treatment, and it must have worked mostly, or he'd be dead by now. But then, he's still being called "a dying man", so he should definitely stay on the lists.
