... that Nelson W. Aldrich Jr. dedicated his first book to his wife and credited her with having "always propped up my morale", even though they had already been separated for seven years? Source: People magazine
- Reviewed: Observations Made during a Voyage round the World
- Comment: Please save for April 11, his 87th birthday (exactly three weeks and four days from now). Eligible per Rule 1d, because it only appeared in the "Recent Deaths" section of ITN and not as a bold link.

5x expanded by Bloom6132 (talk). Self-nominated at 04:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC).[reply]

New enough and large enough expansion. Confirmed only appeared in Recent deaths. No textual issues. Hook fact is interesting and appears in the article and the cited source. Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:57, 20 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Promoted to Prep 5. I deleted "already" as I think it is not necessary. Z1720 (talk) 14:12, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
