I have a family connection with that. It was one of the first things I heard about when I was a child. No one in my family was killed in that disaster; it's something else.

Long ago, I made a few edits to the Wikipedia page. If you go to the talk page, you can see a few of my rants from years gone by.

Since last year was the one hundredth anniversary, there will be less notice paid to the event this year. The people who have been around forever will remember it, though.

Thanks for the offer.
