2) Died in 1887 at 36. Gambler and gunfighter. In an interview in 1896, Wyatt Earp had this to say about him: "He was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a frontier vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long lean ash-blond fellow nearly dead with consumption, and at the same time the most skillful gambler and the nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a gun that I ever knew."
 
3) Born in 1900. Author (d. 1949), her immensely successful novel was "Gone With The Wind", She originally called her heroine "Pansy O'Hara", and Tara was "Fontenoy Hall." Urban legend has it that when her first husband left her the last thing he said to her (supposedly) was, "My dear, I don't give a damn". See her and others here in this very interesting clip, "After The Wind":

4) Born in 1907. Actress, In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her as the greatest actress of all time. She had a famous and longtime romance with Spencer Tracy, both on and off screen. Her acting in "The Lake" in 1933 resulted in Dorothy Parker’s famous quip that the actress "ran the gamut of emotions from A to B." She died at age 96 and in her honor, the lights of Broadway were dimmed for an hour. See her in this "Philadelphia Story" clip with Cary Grant:

I got a message today from Harry Chipman, class of '55, inquiring about his sister Suzy Chipman Poole, class of 57. Harry has lived in Virginia for many years and seemingly has lost contact with is sister. He has asked me to inquire about her. If anyone knows her where abouts and or how to contact her could you let me know.

I am home for a little break. Mother did well during surgery, as the surgeon put it "a piece of cake" to him maybe. She is still out of it and on morphine. Our daughter, Jackie, is with her so my sis and I could come home and freshen up. Thanks, all for the prayers, they help. Patsy

Patsy, our prayers are with you and your family through all these operations and hard times. Please keep us informed as to the recovery of both your Mom and Duane.

Thanks to all of you for the help with the Suzy Poole thing. It looks like her brother may have just had problems contacting her and then got worried. I heard from Suzy this evening and I am sure she will get in touch with him.
