For anyone interested, the "Los Angeles Times" has a web site for obituaries for the prior week only: http://www.latimes.com/obits The obituaries would not only be of interest to searchers with Los Angeles links but for other areas as well. For example: May 24 obituaries listed Ed Weaver an Ohio State Athletic Director of note who died in California; Dr. Frank Slaughter, born in Washington DC and died in Florida, who as well as being a physician wrote very popular novels; Lorez Alexandria a jazz singer, from Chicago. Of course, these are in addition to Los Angeles locals who passed away that week. Hope this is helpful to some of you. Donna California
