    My great grandfather’s buddy took the Mussolini corpse photos while they walked through and sold them to Time magazine, it’s sort of a 6 degrees of separation thing but still a fun fact

      My grandfather didn’t get any close-ups with historic fascists, but he did shoot two Nazi planes out of the sky.

      And then my mom and dad voted Trump.

      I’m down! Apparently I’m one of 2 million descendants of john howland.

      Didn’t learn of this until I stopped being an arborist.

      These things are fun and worth hearing about.

        My understanding is that john fell off the mayflower and caught a rope, which saved him. Sounds like catching that rope wasn’t likely
