From the Jan. 1, 2010, Chicago Sun-Times. They listed quite a few more, but I just picked the ones that had an impact on me. Many of these were discussed in my Dead Page entries. Hit the Dead Page label at bottom.
JANUARY
TSUTOMU YAMAGUCHI, 93-- survivor of both World War II atomic blasts. (WWII)
MIEP GIES, 100-- Dutch office secretary who helped hide Anne Frank's family during German Occupation of Amsterdam. She also saved Anne's diary. (WWII)
GLEN W. BELL, 86-- Founder of Taco Bell. (Love those tacos, especially the Baja Fish taco and those $2 value meals.)
MARCH
PETER GRAVES, 83-- actor in "Airplane!" and TV show Mission Impossible. (What a great pilot!)
MORRIS JEPPSON, 87-- weapons test officer on Enola Gay and helped arm the atomic bomb at Hiroshima. Mr. Yamaguchi and Mr. Jeppson's lives crossed. (WWII)
More to Come. --DaCoot
