ALT1:... that Leon Hale, who would have turned 100 today, was rejected from the US Navy and the Marine Corps during World War II partly due to the odd placement of his eye? Source: Houston Chronicle
Comment: Please save for May 30, his 100th birthday (exactly eight weeks from now). Request to IAR the "six weeks in advance" rule. Eligible per Rule 1d, because it only appeared in the "Recent Deaths" section of ITN and not as a bold link.
