Kupperman, who became a child star in the 1940s on US radio as the resident "Quiz Kid" genius on a game show, has died aged 83. If I remember right he was admitted to hospice some time last year during the Deathlist Cup, but I lost the tweet where his son said that so I didn't use him as a player. It's being reported that Kupperman died of complications of Covid-19. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
