Some New News About Old Stuff.
1. WW I VET OLDEST MAN-- Henry Allingham, 113, is now the world's oldest man after Tomoji Tanabe, 113, of Japan, died.
He is one of the UK's two remaining World War I veterans.
2. USS PENNSYLVANIA GUNS-- two 14-inch guns from the USS Pennsylvania have arrived at the Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg, where they will be permanently displayed. Each weighs in at 66 tons. Nice when states get memorials for their namesake battleships. Of course, the Pennsylvania was at Pearl Harbor that fateful day.
3. THANKS KATE AND LEONARDO-- May 12th Big Pond News-- "Titanic" movie stars Kate Winslett and Leonardo Di Caprio paid for the nursing home for 97 year old Millvina Dean, the last of the Titanic's passengers, who was two months old when the ship sank.
