The one I missed was Delores Hope. I hope Hope continues her life well past next year.

I passed on Nancy Reagan and Jimmy Carter, who appear to be very well, knock on wood.

Geoff has Bob Sheppard, who is in his late 90s, but, like Joe Paterno, who is only in his mid 80s, when you continue to be very active doing what you love, the grim reaper tends to stay away.

May we allend the year with 0 hits (well, except maybe for Fidel).
