@Brownie - I too was informed about Miss Polks death not that long ago...

Think it was also mentioned on Bill Reed's blog (who happened to know her)

Trudy Pitts actually passed away in December, 2010. But close enough for us to still remember her this year.

When this thread started I almost posted "Hey, the year's not over yet", but thought better of it worrying I'd be jinxing someone.

Wow, the list is huge and it really depressing seeing all those on the list.

Sad to report that we can add Ralph McDonald to this year's grim list.

Indeed. This is the first time I've seen mention of György Szabados's passing earlier in the year. Very sad to read that.
