1801 George Bradshaw – British publisher and originator of the Bradshaw Railway Guide, which was used so often by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

I was watching the Sherlock Holmes with Ronald Howard earlier tonight and Watson referenced this.







1953 Ken Burns – Documentary maker for PBS (The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, Lewis & Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery, Frank Lloyd Wright, The Statue of Liberty)

I always enjoyed his documentaries, especially The Civil War.







1972 Wil Wheaton - Actor (Stand by Me, Toy Soldiers, Star Trek: the Next Generation, The Liar's Club, Neverland)

My take on his character in Star Trek: the Next Generation:

"Captain Pickard, I'd like you to meet my 13 year old sone who is fascinated with the Enterprise."
From Pickard, "Oh really? Well would you like to drive the Billion $$$ starship?"

Ridiculous!
