arghton 6,695 Posted March 23, 2022 She looked slightly frail in October when Blinken met his predecessors as I mentioned in the Kissinger thread. On 18/10/2021 at 15:15, arghton said: James Baker, 91 and Madeleine Albright, 84 in one of the photos. However still very unexpected, I would not have thought she'd go during the next few years as she looked pretty great in some later pictures. 4 minutes ago, Drewsky1211 said: And with this, Henry Kissinger has now outlived eight of his successors as Secretary of State: Edmund Muskie, 1980-1981 (1996) Cyrus Vance Sr, 1977-1980 (2002) Alexander Haig, 1981-1982 (2010) Warren Christopher, 1993-1997 (March 2011) Lawrence Eagleburger, 1992-1993 (June 2011) George Shultz, 1982-1989 (Feb 2021) Colin Powell, 2001-2005 (Oct 2021) Madeleine Albright, 1997-2001 (2022) Michael Armacost (acting, 1989), James Baker (1989-1992) and Frank G.

MortalCaso 1,624 Posted March 23, 2022 On 05/11/2021 at 15:37, MortalCaso said: Gen. Colin Powell had his funeral service today. Quite a few notable people there and some not. Neither Carter showed up, nor did Bill Clinton (or the Trumps....but that was obvious). Madeleine Albright showed up and looked fairly good. Gave a speech. Neither Henry Kissinger nor James Baker showed up. His wife, Alma Powell, did not look good at all in a wheelchair. She is 84 years old and I'm not sure how long she'll last. Link if anyone cares to watch more closely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBES_1ljX5o How quickly times change. Madeleine Albright did not seem close to death. Kissinger marches on... I'd be interested to know what she officially died of, I realize cancer seems to be the culprit. It would just be a rapid descent from cancer in 4ish months.
