Samuel Pepys, was a member of Parliament and Chief Secretary to the Admiralty. His private diary, which he kept for 10 years was not published until about 150 years later. It is considered primary source material for events that include the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire of London among other events.

Jane, I never knew who played Red Ryder. I think I saw a movie or two in the Red Ryder series and some of the other later ones, like Rio Lobo, but I would not have recognized him.

Samuel Morse

Samuel Finley Breese Morse, OIC (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American painter and inventor. After having established his reputation as a portrait painter, in his middle age Morse contributed to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system based on European telegraphs.

[MarsGal]

Samuel Barclay Beckett, Irish playwright, novelist, theater director, poet.


Amy, Morse developed the code that telegraphers used to send message, and to this day Amateur Radio Operators all over the world use it. If communications are down because a disaster, look for an amateur radio operator. Part of the Amateur Radio mandate is to help provide communications in disasters. When conditions are so bad that voice can't get through, Morse code often does. It also eliminates misunderstandings due to bad conditions, accents and poor enunciation. The government in its wisdom dropped the knowledge of Morse code for one low level license, but as far as I know it is still required knowledge to pass the licensing tests for the higher levels. The top level, if I remember correctly, is to send and receive 25 words a minute. That is fast.
