I had to break it to you, but while it may be the hundredth anniversary of her birth, she is not here to celebrate. She died. |

In some cases, that is problematic since they didn't die of old age, instead dying young of some disease or being shot. The latter are too often remembered on the day they died, precisely because people know that long before they know their birthdays. Michael |

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who gets ****ed off about dead people and birthdays. It was the hundredth anniversary of Julia Child's birth or, less clumsily, her centennial. |

Well, since the Smithsonian Institution, among other organizations, is celebrating her 100th birthday in a *big* way, I think people in RFC can be forgiven for mentioning it. -- Larry |
