msc 18,685 Posted February 9, 2018 This week (copy and paste from the BBC): The actor John Mahoney who played Marty Crane in one of America's best-loved sitcoms, Frasier. Hannah Hauxwell, whose solitary life as a farmer in the Yorkshire Dales, made her a favourite on the Deathlist.net forums. Scientist Ken Seddon, a global leader in his field of inorganic chemistry and pioneer of so-called 'super solvents'. Landowner Sir John Cotterell, who helped raise funds to save the Mappa Mundi from being sold by Hereford Cathedral. And feminist icon, Naomi Parker Fraley, the inspiration for "Rosie the riveter", the factory worker who featured in a US wartime poster. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,704 Posted February 23, 2018 This week: Billy Graham (duh) Laura Lee (advocate for sex workers' rights, very woke, very now) John Morris (composer for numerous Mel Brookes films, wrote the score for The Producers) John Pitman (the Sheena Easton guy) and John Bosco McAtasney (the last living weaver of damask linen in Ireland, obviously). Bad luck anyone who was hoping for Claribel Alegria or Ann Gillis to get the call-up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
