In Orient on the North Fork there is an old graveyard where most of the headstones have turned brown with age. Many of the stones have dates from the early 1700s and most of them are Lathams. The Lathams who own the lumber company in Mineola are one of the oldest families in these parts having arrived to the East End of the Island in early colonial times.

Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1911 pitched and won both ends of a doubleheader. The Philadelphia hurler went the distance in both games. That's almost unbelievable when in these days good pitchers that are even ahead are relieved after seven or eight innings of work. Managers now count pitches and after 100 look to their closers. That year, Alexander won 28 and lost 13. He started 37 times and completed 31 games, seven of which were shutouts.

Scientists estimate that since the beginning of time about 80 billion people have been born. This is really not too huge a figure when you consider about 6 billion people are living on earth at the present time. Incidentally, these people speak 6,000 different languages. Many of these languages, however, will soon disappear since there are only a few thousand people who speak some of them, like Welsh, for instance.
