Following the sad passings of Mrs. Gai, Ciocan,  Kant and Aspinall over the past week, Mr. Borlaug has now moved into the top 10 oldest living men in Europe. Not usual for a man from Norway!

@ale76 Reaching the top 10 really is quite a feat for Mr. Borlaug! Congratulations to him!

Åge Gunnar Hagelid died on June 7. This was announced in the newspaper Aftenposten today. I couldn't find a link, should be at verdbegravelse.no. But I found another: Six days before he was 100 years old in 2021, his wife Ragnhild died, she also 100 years old: https://verdbegravelse.vareminnesider.no/memorial_page/memorial_page_personal_info.php?order_id=3963660&set_site_id=1002&cat=home&sign=198f85c3d57e39e8919727f62dfe6d08
