Dead People Server Sitemap

I first found the Lee Atwater Memorial Deadpool, AKA stiffs.com in 1997, just after I became the curator of Dead People Server. It was too late to enter for 1997 (since I became curator that March), but I entered the next year and almost every year until 2007. Since late 2005, I also entered the alt.obituaries deadpool.
