    I'm pretty sure it's going to show that both of them died at your age,
    since they both did.

    That was probably in the younger-than and older-than sections, which are
    set to return ten records, no more and no less. The old-as section returns
    however many matches there are, which is zero on most days.

    So Slim Pickens and Shari Lewis (who died at ages about a month apart)
    both arrived on the older-than list,and Dick York and Donna Summer >>>>>>>>>>will both leave the younger-than list tomorrow.


    In the meantime,without aid of Sherpa or piton,
    to climb toward the lifespan of Pat Summitt.

    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
    list as I thought he was the next to be dropped (I was tied
    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....

    beyond McFarland lies Selma Diamond,and I see that unlike
    the two Bewitched Darren Dicks,the database does NOT also
    include the other gravelly-voiced female Night Court
    bailiff,Florence Halop,who I passed in the past year.

    Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis comes into view behind Diamond.
