Removing Old Records While Retaining Recent Ones

Hey guys, I have a table full of data that has duplicate records except for two date columns (date1 and date2). What I would like to do is remove the duplicates while retaining the most recent record, how can I do this?

So record 1 looks like this:


Code:

John | Smith | 08/08/2000 | 10/10/2000



Record 2 looks like this:


Code:

John | Smith | 08/10/2005 | 10/10/2005



I'd like to remove the first instance and keep the second (most recent one).

Ideas?

Thanks!
