John Holohan was driving the band van when it flipped on a highway in Arizona. He was 31. Bayside's guitarist was injured. Holohan died at the scene. The band had been on tour for months. They canceled the rest of the dates. Their next album was dedicated to him. They're still playing.

Amrita Pritam wrote about Partition — the violence, the loss, the women. Her poem 'Ajj Aakhaan Waris Shah Nu' is recited across Punjab. She wrote novels, poetry, essays in Punjabi for 60 years. She was the first woman to win the Sahitya Akademi Award. She never stopped writing about 1947.

Mary Wimbush played Julia Pargetter on The Archers for 35 years, the BBC radio soap that's run since 1951. She recorded her final episode three weeks before she died.
