Oh, I had "no idea." If not changed back, it shall be. Katagelophobia
In response to the big news!!! Excellent discovery of a great boob!! One person that I added above, Abigail Eliot, was a person I originally couldn't find a death date for. It was found on that social security death site. Just wondering, are their any other people you can think of that have got an unknown birth or death date. If so, write em' in below and I'll search for them.
Congratulations!
I do recall one man who I believe was listed on the Life in Legacy obit site earlier this year, but I don't think he had a birthdate. The man's name is Theodor Jacobsen and he was an astronomer. After doing a short Yahoo search on him, he does have some stuff (and some pretty good oldy pictures too). Give him a search and see what you think. I believe his years are (1901-2003).
Katagelophobia 18 Dec 2003
P.S.: Found Jacobsen on the Social Security Death Index site. Born February 6, 1901-July 17, 2003 at age 102.
Dec 20, 2003: Remember Neta Lohnes Frazier, that obscure author? I found her on that Social Security Death Site. She made it to 100!--April 18, 1890-June 2, 1990. It's up to you whether or not we should add her. She still doesn't have allot o' info.
I'm sure by now that youv'e heard about the death of Etta Moten Barnett. I found the dates for Denise Columb (April 1, 1902-Janaury 2, 2003). Also on that celbrity death site, there was a man by the name of Arthur R. von Hippel (November 19, 1898-December 31, 2003) who is really worth it. He was a scientist who made significant contributions to the development of radar.
Give him a search and write back what you think: Here's 2 websites to look at (one of which has a really wrinkled face!)
http://www.legacy.com/LegacySubPage1.asp?Page=APStory&Id=6983 http://www.eecs.mit.edu/AY98-99/announcements/5.html
Use that man! What an individual. Times like these make me angry we didn't know about him before he died. Also, I assume you meant to type January 2, 2004 for Denise Columb's death date.
Got a new boob for the list, an influential Spanish politician named Antonio Garrigues. He barely made it to 100, and Lifeinlegacy even listed him as dying at 99, but he made it. Check out the article below (it even has the dates).

[edit] Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
- Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
- Multi-Licensing Guide
- Free the Rambot Articles Project
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
- Option 1
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
OR
- Option 2
- I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
- {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)
[edit] Wotherspoon,Uhlmeyer,etc.
In reverting some silly stuff on the Centenarian article,I inserted Uhlmeyer instead of Wotherspoon because I thought she was more worthy of mention--she lived longer and actually remembered the disaster.I note both their bio articles have been tagged as "unencyclopedic"...I really think that we have to reduce the number of listed centenarians to ones really deserving of encyclopedia articles and not just people who just happened to survive a century without doing anything that would make them important if they hadn't done that.Only supercentenarians (and far from all of them) are noteworthy for longevity alone!--Louis Epstein/le@put.com/12.144.5.2 02:45, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Maybe this calls for a "last survivors page" (Titanic, General Slocum, etc.)? Otherwise, point well taken. I simply included her on the page because she already had a page about her. Katagelophobia 17 Feb 2005
Sup Foo! Tis me relating that Peter Jennings, Barbara Bel Geddes and the Radcliffe are officially cadavers, joining the rank of Mrs. Genevieve Russo Guido born sometime in 1896 and died on May 1, 2005.

[edit] Howdy!
Much obliged sir, just writing to note that Zhou is on my "Noted Oldy" list, which is undergoing some needed tweeking (removals and such). I found a whole slew of newbies (or soon to be centenarians) on the Wikipedia German page. All ya gotta do is go to the page and search Liste berühmter Hundertjähriger and it'll bring up the centenarians list in German, but with alot of persons we dont have. An added bonus on the list is 1906 and 1907 people (in a separate section) that will turn 100 soon (Robert Hakim, born 1907) is a damn good find.....check it out and continue to locate people!!!

[edit] Philanthropist
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Philanthropist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Philanthropist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Sebastian (talk) 03:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] And Things Of That Nature.....
Howdy sir, and thanks for remembering that goon, I'd totally forgotten him. I trust you've added him to the list, along with the other 1906s... Henry Beachell just died, you probably knew that but I also hope you have Silas Simmons on the list as well. Longevitymonger
[edit] a bit of a memoriam....
Stunning news today as former President Gerald Ford shuffles off the mortal coil at age 93. There have been unconfirmed reports that he was mauled by a circus lion prior to his death, Richard Nixon wanted for questioning. RIP Jerry. Longevitymonger
[edit] In unrelated news
This just in.............James Dobbin exists! The goon evidently has a picture on the wiki, which has been printed off and is now on the cabinet. Until next time, and have a safe trip back. Longevitymonger
[edit] A New 1907
Howdy again, just found this person on here, and she has some more info on the net. Salome Gluecksohn-Waelsch. Also be sure to check IMDB and the net for two other goons, film producer Robert Hakim (pretty sure he's alive) and french cinematographer Robert Lefebver (both born 1907) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Longevitymonger (talk • contribs) 18:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] More stuff to ponder...if need be
Just found this video on Youtube, and knowing of your They Might Be Giants "fandom", I thought you might get a kick out of it (if you haven't heard it already)and is brought to you by a certain "Napoleon of the Stump". Longevitymonger
[edit] Stuff Worth Mentioning!!!
Salutations! I need to have a word with you immediately...give me a call whenever you find the time. Things need to be discussed (and not of the old variety.) Take care. Longevitymonger
[edit] A White Man Springs Eternal
Gus Hawkins has reached 100. Go visit him and tell him to face facts that he's old......and appears to be white. Good day Sir. Longevitymonger —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longevitymonger (talk • contribs) 15:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oldy Related Stuff
Just discovered this guy on the wiki Errol Harris, an eminent South African philosopher born February 19, 1908- and is alive. Have added some new goons to the already lengthy Wiki list, so be sure to check em' out. I trust you have added Bill Tapia (the old ukelele guy) to your list. Good day, and report if you find any other new goons. Longevitymonger —Preceding comment was added at 23:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The List.....Returns with Avengeance
Howdy. Just reporting that I've started on the Famous Centenarians List again (the big one with pictures, which I did once before.) The old one was around 175 individuals, the current one looks to be around 500!!! Taking into consideration that there are 527 people on my list (as of October 22), I counted about 20 or 25 that didn't have pictures. I am giving you a mission, if you choose to except it, to find pictures like we did awhile ago at Prendergast, and like you did at Fredonia. Seeing that you're in Washington and near the Library of Congress, you might have some luck. I'm gonna try to get this thing done, and not do it half-ass like I sometimes do (starting but not finishing.) Here's a list of new goons that I've found (some added to Wiki) and another list for the pictureless goons.
[edit] The Good the Bad and the Picture-less
Henry J. Gaisman (find me a picture of this goon!!!!)
Jacob Sapirstein
John Aikman Stewart (there was a painting of him on the net, but it ain't there now)
Guy T. Buswell
Donald N. Ferguson
Judah David (Julius) Eisenstein
Peter Joseph De Muth
Victor Bonomo
Carrie Tubb
Antoine Pompe (yes... this worthless bastard. Find me a picture or I'll fill your life with misery and woe :)
Joseph Judson "J.J." Cohn (this guy was one of the founders of Metro-Goldwyn Mayer! And he got jack squat!)
Jack Liebowitz (7 years dead and still no photograph)
Sir George Ernest Schuster
William Pascoe Watkins
Walter L. Morgan
Do what you can, and if you find anyone new (like Andrew Burry) report back....Woop!! Longevitymonger
[edit] This just In
I have removed Phil Christison, Preston Bassett because I found pictures. Also, while doing my list I decide to research some people and found this out: Catharine Sargent Huntington WAS NOT 100. She was 99. Her birthdate (according to the Social Security thingy) was December 1887, not 1886. She died in Feb. 1987, so she didn't make it. Strange, manily because shes been on the list awhile. Write back what ya think, and e-mail me if ya find pictures.
[edit] Even more jack-assary
I went to the library yesterday and managed to re-locate that picture of Schlink as well as Ernest Griffith. I also found a new one of Charles S. Dewey in middle age. Here's hoping to Jacques Barzun not copping out before November 30!! Longevitymonger
[edit] More Oldy Related crap
Hi again. Still plugging away on the list. I've found three new goons that may be of intrest to you being that they're alive.
Olin Stephens- April 13, 1908- has an article on here and a few pictures on the net. Some refer to him as the greatest yacht designer ever. Quite a compliment. He aint got long to go before he's 100.
Kathryn Wasserman Davis (February 25, 1907-): Found this woman in a 2007 Who's Who book at Prendergast. Shes a philanthropist and foundation head. She's got alot of info and had a huge write up in the NY Times when she donated 20 million dollars for various peace projects. http://giving.princeton.edu/makeagift/donors/davis.xml (with a face)
Dr. Saburo Shochi (August 16, 1906-): Japanese childhood development educator with some stuff http://www.discovernikkei.org/forum/node/1337
If you haven't already seen, Sam Dana has joined the ranks of the deceased (so you can finally take this goon off your living list!) Longevitymonger —Preceding comment was added at 23:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] In other news....Walter Bitterlich=
I just discovered a new goon that you may want to take a look at. His name is Walter Bitterlich (born February 19, 1908) a world renowned forestry expert. There are a few articles mentioning him turning 99 this year and the German wiki has him as alive. He even has a face. What do you think? (on Olin Stephens the rest of the above mentioned people.) http://www.proaxis.com/~johnbell/itp/itpbitterlich_more.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longevitymonger (talk • contribs) 16:22, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] An Addendum
As more and more people seem to keep popping up, I feel the need to keep certain individuals informed. I was browsing the 1908 page and came across a few persons on here that are very much alive and notable. Longevitymonger
Marina Semenova (June 12, 1908-) the first Soviet-trained prima ballerina. Nice article.
Reginald C. Fuller (September 12, 1908-) Clergyman, Reverend Canon of Westminster Cathedral in England.
Bernard Bierman (August 26, 1908-) American lyricist , is listed but hasn't an article, and it says he's alive.
Rica Erickson (August 10, 1908-) Australian naturalist, botanist and artist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longevitymonger (talk • contribs) 17:55, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
And Robert Couturier (May 2, 1905)- he ain't on here but he's got lots of info on the net (especially for his 100th.) An artist and architect, everything I found seems to indicate that he's still alive. Longevitymonger —Preceding comment was added at 17:53, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
