My favorite area of study is World War II, so I find it interesting that guys like Emperor Hirohito, Rudolf Hess, Karl Donitz, Omar Bradley, Mark Clark, and Albert Speer we’re still alive in my younger years.
It’s strange to look back and know that there were still a couple of veterans of the Spanish-American War still alive in the 1980’s, and that a good number of World War I veterans were still alive.

Andy Warhol. Dude died in 87. He seems like such a far away type of figure. Like someone who lived in the turn of the century.

I used to see my great uncle who won the Distinguished Flying Cross flying B-29s a lot at family gatherings. Dude totally seemed like the kind of person who'd carpet-bomb your favorite Zoe's Kitchen or whatever.

Ernest Hemingway and Grandma Moses. Hemingway died a month to the day after I was born.

Two of my great grandmothers lived into their 100's. One was born in 1886 and died in 1989 when I was 18. The other was born in 1892 and died in 1994 when I was 23.
Thanks for reminding me of that.

What was cool about her is she was active until one month before she died. Did 50 sit-ups a day all her life until 30 days before she died. Drove until 100. Scare the frick out of you and like bumper cars but she didn’t give a shite.

If I recall correctly the last of the civil war widow pensioners died in the 2000s.

The last Civil War Vet died on August 2, 1956 and I was a couple months shy of 4 yrs. old then.
I've seen a lot of very famous people die in my lifetime, but even more who only lived good lives and not really known to history.

Aren’t both of his Taylor’s grandsons still alive?
If I’m not mistaken, they’re surprisingly not that old. They were both in their early 90s last I saw.
