The first weekend of the new year, 2020, and I thought I would just post on some people from history that you may have never heard of but did have an effect……
Fame is a curious thing. Two people will devote their lives to working toward the same world changing goal, with one gaining global recognition while the other slides into obscurity. So what makes one person famous while the other remains an unknown?
Good PR is often a part of it, of course. Other times people suffer from bad timing, and some are just overlooked by historians and the media for whatever reason, rendering their accomplishments and deeds largely ignored by the general public. So who are these historical “coulda-beens”? Well, it’s funny you should ask…

Here is an interesting thought….there is still hope for you and I in the big picture we call history…..we could make a difference….but that will depend on your desire.
