I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

The Original Stage Star named was Dan Leno, not Jay Leno!
Before Jay Leno, there was Dan Leno, who was considered the GREATEST entertainment star of his generation! Try doing a Google Search of Dan Leno and see what comes up!
Speaking of comedians, if you think that's interesting, try doing a search on the original Billy Murray the comedian and singer! I bet you know many of the songs he made famous!
Or better yet, how about Billy Williams, ...now there was a great singer who died at as his carreer was just approaching the peak!!
