Now listed on Wikipedia also. She also appeared on Ghosthunters in the past. Had brief dealings with her by way of a conversation at a conference in the last century. As is sometimes remarked when people like her die, she might now know the answers to some of the questions she spent years asking 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 25, 2020 Biggest miss by the Committee so far this year. To think they left a 102 year old they just made a movie about off the list for a fair number of garbage picks. Shameful. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,130 Posted February 27, 2020 13 minutes ago, Joey Russ said: Adam Maher, rugby player who was diagnosed with ALS in 2018 dead at 47 It says motor neurone disease. ALS is one of a number of motor neurone diseases, but it doesn't specify which one he had. Do correct me if you have further information, but can we please not go down the dementia route, where every dementia case is assumed to be Alzheimer's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 29, 2020 UGHHHH.... I wrote 'March' next to Pete Felton's name in preparation for my February DL Cup team. Looks like February (7th) was his month. Would have been an interesting battle if Joey decided not to allow him. I sure could have used him. Not mentioned in the obit, but Pete Felton was a local UK musician who had suffered from the big C. He was 27. He had recorded some music, and the BBC did a documentary on him called 'All Together Now'. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
