Hello!
First, a mea culpa...

On the morbid question, Natalie Cole also died at the end of December 2015.    So, that choice would have been correct, as well.

Also, the DA is off on its end of June vacation.
We will be back (with bells and whistles on) on July 5th.

Thank you, as always, for reading the DA

And, thanks to my brother, Richard, for promptly bringing the error to my attention!
