NOTABLE DEATH NEW YORK (AP) Raven Chanticleer, the flamboyant founder of the Harlem African-American Wax and History Museum, died March 31 of lung cancer. He was 72. In 1989, in his West 1.15th Street Harlem brownstone, Chanticleer opened the wax museum, where visitors could see about 25 lifelike figures of such famous black heroes as Malcolm and Magic Johnson.
He made all the figures, including one of himself. "Just in case something should happen to me, if they didn't carry out my wishes and my dreams of this wax museum I would come back and haunt the hell out of them," Chanticleer said in a radio interview last year. An artist, dancer and fashion designer, Chanticleer also made all the costumes. BIRTHS St. I Rita's Medical Center April 8 Sheila and Scott Buettner, Wapakoneta, girl.
