It just so happens that I am a big fan of David Carson and his dead/alive lists. Truly, Mr. Carson is a statistician extraordinaire!
However, I have conjured up a bunch of names of octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centenarians who did not make it into most his recent posting.
Like David, I have used his format:

(!) = personages 100 and over.
I truly hope many of these names will be incorporated into David Carson's next listing.
