    When former Royal Dutch/Shell chairman Sir John Jennings died
    in August 2024,I remarked that his predecessor's predecessor
    Sir Peter Baxendell was still alive...according to an announcement
    in The Daily Telegraph this has ceased to be the case,with Sir Peter
    (born February 28th 1925) succumbing to mortality on September 13th 2025.

    I had similarly remarked on the apparent survival of former Grand Metropolitan chairman Sir Stanley Grinstead on the death of HIS successor's successor,
    but it now comes to light via crickethistory.website (I despise the proliferation of TLDs!!!) that Sir Stanley (born June 17th 1924) apparently died on July 13th 2009.

    The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
