Nobody had her on their list.

BTW - We now have seven participants (Geoff joined a few days ago).

Also, if someone else "famous" dies before New Year's, and they're on someone's list, they should NOT be counted, and that participant should not be allowed to make a substitution on their list. However, since this was not pointed out before some lists were submitted, we'll have to allow a substitution to be made.

Last year, when I was making my list for 2007, I had included Gerald Ford. Ford died on December 26th, so he wasn't eligible for the list, but I hadn't submitted my list yet (so I was able to make a substitution).

So again, IF you have a name that dies before New Year's, that name won't count as a 2008 death BUT you will be allowed to substitute another name for your list.
