    I have not attained the summit of longevity,
    but I HAVE surpassed the longevity of Summitt.

    I was surprised to see Lee Marvin still on the younger-than

    with him the first time I tried this feature)...has someone
    just disappeared from the database,by 50-year rule or otherwise?

    Looking back on this thread and on the current display,
    I realize that Boone is absent with Siegel no longer in a tie.

    Sorrell Booke is next for me to overtake,while Cheryl Holdridge >>>>>>>> appears in the distance.

    As I page past Booke Floyd Cramer becomes next to pass,while
    Slobodan Milosevic comes into view behind Holdridge.

    The fifty-year guillotine has complicated things...I have
    now drawn alongside Cramer,but rather than Lee Marvin,who
    I was tied with when I first used this page,disappearing
    from the younger-thans,the even younger Dick York has made
    a return appearance,while both Herbert "Tiny Tim" Khaury
    and Waylon Jennings are in the distance behind Milosevic.
    As York's fellow Darren Dick Sargent has become the next
    for me to pass,perhaps the site is just bewitched,but
    I am not sure just who disappeared.

    Having just passed Sargent and drawn alongside Ken Lay,
    I must next face the (Lorenzo) Music;
    Johnny Paycheck appears in the distance past Jennings,
    and beyond him that rascal George (Spanky) McFarland.

    Having outlasted Music's last note,I next need to solve
    the (Nelson) Riddle;

    Having done so,I am in line to shortly pass Sammy Davis Jr....

    I have now tied him...
    Shari Lewis is next...

    Now I am between Lewis and Holdridge...

    beyond McFarland lies Selma Diamond,and I see that unlike
    the two Bewitched Darren Dicks,the database does NOT also

    Three days to go...

    ...behind her lie Bobby Fischer and Malcolm Young.

    I have now passed McWilliams and Fischer,and am tied with Young.

    Having passed Young,Milosevic now disappears from the list
    behind me...


    Lee Van Cleef appears behind Young.

    ...Donna Reed is next beyond Van Cleef.

    beyond her Flip Wilson appears in the distance.

    beyond Wilson is Richard Pryor.

    past him is Quinn Martin.

    followed by Victor Sen Yung and Gene Pitney.

    Richard Wright,Denny Doherty,and Tanya Roberts
    appear in line behind them.

    ...and now for some reason Roberts (though still in
    the database) has been replaced by Dan Rowan.

    I will actually become a better chessplayer than Bobby Fischer was at my age
    for the first time since I was a small child (I learned the rules slightly
    younger than he did).

    Done!
