The New York Times Printer Friendly Format Sponsored By March 21, 2006 Narvin Kimball, 97, a Founder of Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Is Dead By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLESTON, S.C., March 20 (AP) — Narvin Kimball, the last founding member of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, who was known for his vocal stylings and banjo playing, died here on Friday at the home of his daughters. He was 97. His death was confirmed by the publicist of the band, a New Orleans institution, and the local coroner. He and his wife, Lillian, had been staying with their daughters since shortly after Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Kimball's vocal renditions of "Georgia on My Mind" always brought standing ovations, said Preservation Hall's director, Ben Jaffe, whose parents opened the hall in 1961. "He was really our last connection to a bygone time in the history of New Orleans," Mr. Jaffe said by telephone from New Orleans. Mr. Kimball was the son of the bassist Henry Kimball, and he made his first banjo with a cigar box, stick and string. He began playing professionally in the 1920's on Mississippi riverboats with the Fate Marable Band. He made his first Columbia Records recording in 1928. Mr. Kimball formed his own band, the Gentlemen of Jazz, and played around New Orleans for 40 years. He also worked for 37 years for the United States Postal Service. He last played with the band in 1999 in a PBS performance. Not long afterward, Mr. Jaffe said, Mr. Kimball suffered a series of strokes that ended his banjo playing. Mr. Kimball is survived by his wife, two daughters, four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

The New York Times Printer Friendly Format Sponsored By March 24, 2006 A Remarkable Life: Tortoise Dies at 250 By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 2:57 p.m. ET CALCUTTA, India (AP) -- One of the world's oldest creatures, a giant tortoise believed to have been about 250 years old, has died in the Calcutta zoo where it spent more than half its long life. Addwaita, which means ''the one and only'' in the local Bengali language, was one of four Aldabra tortoises brought to India by British sailors in the 18th century. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767. Long after the other three tortoises died, Addwaita continued to thrive, living in Clive's garden before being moved to the zoo in 1875. ''According to records in the zoo, the age of the giant tortoise, Addwaita, who died on Wednesday, would be 250 years approximately,'' said zoo director Subir Chowdhury. That would have made him much older than the world's oldest documented living animal: Harriet, a 176-year-old Galapagos tortoise who lives at the Australia Zoo north of Brisbane, according to the zoo's Web site. She was taken from the island of Isla Santa Cruz by Charles Darwin in the 19th century. Aldabra tortoises come from the Aldabra atoll in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean, and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds. Addwaita, the zoo's biggest attraction, had been unwell for the last few days, said local Forest Minister Jogesh Burman, ''We were keeping a watch on him. When the zoo keepers went to his enclosure on Wednesday they found him dead,'' Burman said.
