Substantial life - details about 90 years - on good sources, offine sources accepted AGF. I like ALT1 best, but all hooks are possible. - Article: you don't need any source in the lead if it's sourced in the body and not a quote. A load of five refs doesn't help the reader ;) - I suggest to use the fair-use image for the infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:54, 17 April 2016 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda Arendt; I've made the changes you suggest. ALT2 is fine with me. -- Delabrede (talk) 13:47, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, the entry to the article is stunning now! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:56, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

ps: You could even add a bit more specific things to the lead, - and perhaps nominate for GA? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:58, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
