They keep on coming. John Glenn, the first American in space and the oldest man in space. The latter was 18 years ago, amazingly enough; he was 95 when he died.
He was the second American in space. Sometimes people quote the fact that he was born before Alan Shepard, which seems an odd stat. Shepard was the first American in space, Glenn the first in orbit. He also flew for the navy in Korea, and was a senator. Some life.
Less than three weeks after William Trevor, another giant of Irish literature - poet and short story writer, John Montague.

Still going down thick and fast in 2016: actress Zsa Zsa Gabor http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016...ublicist-says/
I always noticed down the years, that Zsa Zsa Gabor was always on those lists of 'celebrities to die next/this year' predictions.
Frank Murray. RIP

Alas, she passed away an hour ago. It really didn't sound good from the vague medical details; 20 minutes' CPR before the arrival of advanced care is not a good thing.Quote:

Thanks. Hadn't spotted that nor had any of my fellow Rovers friends of that vintage. Slightly before my era but had heard much about him and his tremendous shot.Quote:
