Answer to A Distinguished Bunch

They (and I) were all born in the same year.

So far, only my n&d has got the answer. This seems odd: anything common to all has to be noted in their biographies and if you look up any of them (except Goswell Frand's) it will be the very first thing you see.

At today's date, 13th October 2008, ten of them (eleven including me) are still more or less alive and five have died: Dean 1955, Richler 2001, Donegan 2002, Milosevic 2006, Yeltsin 2007.
