I should have found this page while I was working on the Fairlawn series . . . Okay . . . this may seem a little strange, but it's really fascinating. Go to Dead At Your Age.com to see what notables you've outlived.
I've outlived Walter Reed. And he has a medical center named after him! (I don't see any memorial buildings on my horizon!)
So . . . who have you outlived?
