Vernon Dalhart. Hands down the more influential of the two! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bugatti or Delahaye?
A few years back, I realized, if it wasn't for WWII, I would not be here! For most, it was because their Father went to a strange land (like England,) and married a native, for me it was different. My Grandfather died in 1944, and my Dad was sent home mid 1945. As you can imagine, being one of...
Actually, it was surpassed several times since then! Halifax was estimated at 2.9 kilotons, the Texas City blast was between 2.7-3.2 KT, The Royal Navy did a test 18 April 1947 that was 3,2 kt, Minor Scale and Misty Picture test at White Sands Missile range 27 June 1985; 14 May 1987, was 4.8 kt...

Thanks, Frank! I have two bathrooms, a full one on the main level and a 3/4 upstairs. Well, I will have a 3/4 upstairs, when I can get back to it. My truck is down, right when I need it most. Got to laugh at the timing!
That reminds me, when I was young, I knew lots of people born in the 19th century! My Grandparents, lots of neighbors, they were every where. Now there are only two people in the entire world that are verified to have been born before 1900!
