[Scott MacDonald]

Fred,

I'm failing to see the connection between a chap born in 1870 and our BLP

Thank God!

Wikipedia:Ignore all rules is still policy.

I couldn't find an obituary for Joel Renaldo, but I still had a lot of
fun researching him. Anyone who doesn't think he is notable should ask O.
Henry, if you can find him these days.
