A Slight Connection to Celebrity.

Since the Titanic is much in the news at the moment, it might interest you to know – but probably won’t – that Captain Smith, skipper of the ill-fated vessel, was born and raised only a couple of streets away from where my father was born and raised, and where I lived for the first two months of my life. And I once sailed more or less over the wreck of the Titanic without even knowing it. (Although I think I had a bit of a notion that it was ‘around here somewhere.’ It’s a bit difficult to tell when there’s nothing but water in all directions.)
