Anon comment extracted from article space[edit]

It appears that he is older than former PA Gov. Leader, who (QV) is listed as the earliest living governor in the US at present (11.15.05), by about a year. If he's still living, the entry for Leader needs changing - but if not, his death date needs to be listed.--128.190.62.54

All the evidence I see is that Scrnton is still alive. Perhaps the comment on the Leader article refers to the actual years of his term as Governor, which considerably preceded Scranton's term, despite Scranton being the older man.--Pharos 11:27, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
