Some of you, presumably without PDA’s or calendars, requested a
reminder about the Titanic show closer to air time. Here it is:

Sunday, February 26, 9:00 PM EST, History Channel. I will be on a live
call in Internet chat for the hour following.

A piece by AP just hit the wires and is already on the Boston Globe
site and they got it pretty much right this time. A photographer was
just here and spend half an hour taking more pictures of me than my
parents probably ever did. Papers should be picking this up tomorrow.

I’ve already received my first email request for an autograph.
Hopefully, more interesting requests will follow

Hi Roger,

I saw a blurb on the web today. They are putting a lot of "push"
into it. Looks like it will be an interesting show.

This could be your 'big break'. Need an agent?

I personally want a lock of pubic hair.

looking forward to it! congratulations on fame and fortune! or at
least fame!

Roger,, I saw an ad for the show. I am going to watch it! If I ever buy a
boat [ this boat hunting thing is more work than fun, although I have had a
very good education in the last two months ], ........ I think I will name
my dinghy the "Titanic".

Is that against the boating Gods? Will I wake up in the middle of the night
with a band standing on my deck playing "Nearer my God to Thee"?

Did the Titanic's life boats have names? What happened to the Titanic's
lifeboats? I bet one of them would be worth a fortune.

There is a good site on the show he

http://titanicsfinalmoments.com/

As far as I know, the lifeboats only had numbers and I think they went
to other ships.

I think it would be OK to name your dinghy "Titanic" as long as you
don't row it near ice.

BTW for anyone in the Portland area, I'll be doing a 1 hour show at
9:00 on WGAN radio tomorrow morning(Sunday, Feb 26). This should be
the most complete discussion of the technical issues available
anywhere for a long time.

I think it's time we left this vessel - and the 1,517 who went down wit
her - alone. These ongoing intrusions (and subsequent for-profit
displays of her contents at traveling exhibitions) strike me more as
grave robing than of 'science'.

Enough already!

i've always disagreed with this "grave robbing" thought process for a
number of reasons, though i know since the popular hollywood movie
about the ship it's become an equally popular point of view. funny how
popular hollywood movies do that very thing! one reason is that it's
simply history, it's a giant shipwreck, a huge disaster, and surely
deserves study to understand it. and it deserves to be studied as
cultural history also, we certainly wouldn't leave a roman galley at
the bottom of the ocean for fear of disturbing the souls on board, or a
nazi u-boat if we found one, we'd bring it to the surface, clean her
up, and stick her in a museum with bones and bearings for the world to
see. there's a lot to be gained by that, a lot to learn. and third,
and more important i would think, is that these people had families,
they were human beings. and i wouldn't want to be left there if i was
them, i'd want to be taken home and buried in the dirt, even if my
grave were unmarked with the others, so that i could rest. opinions
may vary on this topic, and since the popularity of the movie "titanic"
they certainly do, but i wouldn't want to be left in the cold dark
waters of the north atlantic. let's bring home as many as can be
found, strike up the band and finally bring her in to port, have some
parades and put the poor people to rest. if i ever go to the bottom by
all means find me! and take me home to the ground where i was born and
toss some dirt on me.
