Before LOST, there was Rod Serling's THE NEW PEOPLE. It premiered Sept 22, 1969 on ABC and lasted 17 episodes.




A rare sight/photo...
Kennedy’s military aide Capt. Tazewell T. Shepard, Jr., is standing next to Kennedy aboard the USS Thomas A. Edison (SSBN-610) holding the football... Which if you think about it is rather quite remarkable.


JFK Library

Thomas A. Edison was the first and only submarine to have an elevator. In 1962, an elevator was added to the sub so that President Kennedy could access the submarine. Kennedy had a back injury which prevented him from using vertical ladders. The addition was known as the "JFK Submarine Access Elevator" and allowed the President to enter the submarine through one of its deck hatches while standing. Wonder what the cost was for that feature?!

Four days earlier during ASW exercises, the Edison had collided with the destroyer USS Wadleigh (DD-689) while surfacing...and wouldn't be its last collision!!

Fun fact: On 29 November 1982, 40 miles east of Subic Bay, Philippines, Thomas A. Edison collided with USS Leftwich (DD-984) while conducting Anti Sub Warfare (ASW) exercises. Years after that collision I served on the Leftwich for 2 yrs.

Navy investigates collision

Thomas A. Edison was decommissioned on Dec 1, 1983, struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 30 April 1986, and went through the Navy's Nuclear Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington, and on Dec 1, 1997 ceased to exist as the recycling was completed.

USS Leftwich fate was sunk as a target on August 1, 2003 and now sits at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, about 50 miles off the north coast of Kauai at 22.813056, -160.566667. Damn, had a lot of good memories, best camaraderie & tall sea stories onboard that Destroyer. RIP:




Gamerz & Nukes takin over the world:


Boeing is using Fortnite’s game engine to upgrade B-52s





Ken Burns is likely never to be invited back as a guest at Bohemian Grove after what appears to be a courageous breach of their omertà.


Clarence Thomas Secretly Participated in Koch Network Donor Events



While everyone online is shocked to see Burns photographed with Koch and Thomas, contemplate how the images probably came to light. And the likelihood that Burns can’t count on the Koch Foundation to fund any future projects used to cleanse the Kochs philanthropic reputation.




LMAO...
