Mr Armstrong passed at 90. If one looks there are more boys left from that era than one might think.

No chance. At the very least I know Keon, Ron Ellis, Jim McKenny and Big M are still alive. Sure there’s enough guys from other lesser non-Leaf teams still kicking.

Oh no, there are a ton of folks still in the land of the living.
