In Memoriam

The NY Times headline says "World's oldest man dies in Britain." But actually, Henry Allingham was one of the last veterans of WWI (and last original member of the R.A.F.) He spoke forcefully about his experiences and against war.

And Tom Wilkes, who designed a number of well-known album covers, has died.

Thank you for sharing this. MathMan read it to me earlier today, but I didn't follow all the details because I was doing something else and trying to listen to him.

You're welcome!

(I find it way cool that MathMan reads obituaries to you.)

Sorry to see you're cutting back, and hope you regain your writing mojo soon.;-)
