Ulitzer95 11,046 Posted November 3, 2021 On 10/01/2020 at 12:28, Ulitzer95 said: Agreed that a lot of them have been dropping off recently. Thought I'd take this opportunity to look at how many WWII veterans from the three strands of government in the U.S. are still with us. There are still 13 living formers members of the House of Representatives who served: b. 1919: Lester L. Wolff b. 1920: Neal Edward Smith b. 1921: Mike McCormack b. 1923: Bob Dole, Al Quie b. 1924: Frank Joseph Guarini, Weston E. Vivian b. 1925: Fletcher Thompson, G. William Whitehurst, Lucien Nedzi b. 1926: J. Roy Rowland, Elwood Hillis, Earl Hutto, Mark Andrews, Robert J. Lagomarsino b. 1927: Benjamin B. Blackburn, Arthur Ravenel Jr., Austin Murphy, Bud Brown, Edwin Edwards, Jim Weaver, James W. Symington There are just 3 living Senators who served (they are also the top 3 oldest living): b. 1923: James Buckley, Bob Dole (also listed above) b. 1925: Daniel Evans b. 1926: Mark Andrews (also listed above) b. 1927: John Warner There are 8 living Governors who served: b. 1921: John Malcolm Patterson b. 1922: Wayne Mixson b. 1923: William Winter, Al Quie (also listed above), Linwood Holton b. 1924: Dale E. Wolf, Jimmy Carter b. 1925: Ted Schwinden, Daniel Evans (also listed above) b. 1926: George Ariyoshi b. 1927: Phil Batt, George Nigh, Winfield Dunn, Edwin Edwards (also listed above) Jimmy Carter (also listed above) is of course the only living President who served. There are no living Vice Presidents who served. 3 living members of the Cabinet who served: Johnson administration: Alan Stephenson Boyd (b. 1922), Ramsey Clark (b. 1927) NONE! Nixon administration: Henry Kissinger (b. 1923), George Shultz (b. 1920) Ford administration: Henry Kissinger (b. 1923, also listed above) Carter administration: Charles Duncan (b. 1926), Ray Marshall (b. 1928) Reagan administration: George Shultz (b. 1920, also listed above) NONE! No living justices of the Supreme Court who served following the death of John Paul Stevens (1920–2019). As far as I know, these are complete. I will do the UK (Commons and Lords) when I get time, but that will probably involve more research. Updated for the recent deaths of Linwood Holton and Neal Edward Smith. 24 veterans remaining. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kasvi tweeted today that he finished the last meeting in his last official post today, 30th of September. I feel like this will be the start of a sharp decline in health, he's currently relying on one experimental drug, does not have a bladder, kidneys, prostate or spleen and now has multiple mutations including one very close to his aorta. https://www.is.fi/kotimaa/art-2000008380845.html Kasvi update: Experimental drugs not working, now has cancer on his shoulder (pancoast tumors?) and lymphoma. He has set a goal for himself: To survive until the 2nd of February 2022 (3 months) when his biography is published. And forgot to mention that he also has fluid in his lungs.

Rosie Cooper is the key one as she has not entered the commons at all recently. Beresford as you said voted yesterday on the budget. He has not spoken much for a few years so if he is ill it’s something long term and diagnosed before the 2019 election. Next year will see the start of MP’s announcing retirements at the next election. If he is struggling with health issues we might see him announce it. Christian Matheson looks well here despite his commons absence https://www.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/19645296.chester-mp-welcomes-progress-23m-full-fibre-network-mission-city/ Johnny Mercer is like a semi detached MP now a days as he only seems to vote on issues he is deeply interested in. It’s not like the Brexit days where everyone turned up to vote and those who were absent had to explain their reason why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathrace 1,099 Posted November 4, 2021 22 hours ago, The Old Crem said: Rosie Cooper is the key one as she has not entered the commons at all recently. Beresford as you said voted yesterday on the budget. He has not spoken much for a few years so if he is ill it’s something long term and diagnosed before the 2019 election. Next year will see the start of MP’s announcing retirements at the next election. If he is struggling with health issues we might see him announce it. Christian Matheson looks well here despite his commons absence https://www.chesterstandard.co.uk/news/19645296.chester-mp-welcomes-progress-23m-full-fibre-network-mission-city/ Johnny Mercer is like a semi detached MP now a days as he only seems to vote on issues he is deeply interested in. It’s not like the Brexit days where everyone turned up to vote and those who were absent had to explain their reason why. I think Beresford still works as a dentist which may explain his sporadic attendance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 11,046 Posted November 5, 2021 Barbara-Rose Collins (wiki), member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Michigan (1991–1997), dead at 82 from COVID-19. The first black woman to represent Michigan in Congress. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 11,046 Posted November 5, 2021 Whilst I'm here... just noticed that Labour life peer Robert Hughes (wiki) has taken leave of absence from the House of Lords. Last spoken contribution in parliament was in December 2019 when he was sworn in. Noticeably struggled. Turns 90 on 3rd Jan and has looked like shit for years. I don't imagine he'll be returning... He was also the MP for Aberdeen North from 1970 to 1997 and chair of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement from 1976 to its dissolution in 1995. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,123 Posted November 5, 2021 Yukhum Zvyahilsky is a very big guy for someone aged 88. Reminds me of Ariel Sharon. Also on the top100 oldest living state leaders since Catherine Tizard died on Sunday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
