  1. LeBron James is in his seventh straight NBA Finals. Amazing.
  2. George Washington held the Continental Army together through eight years of war, deprivation and suffering, defeating the world’s greatest empire and winning America’s independence
  3. Wayne Gretzky scored 894 goals in the NHL: the most scored by anyone. But, even if he had scored zero goals, he would still hold the record for most points scored. Mind boggling.

  8. Jon Hancock, USMC Iraq war veteran, walked across the USA last year. 5,800 miles. After returning home from war, he struggled: PTSD, alcohol, drugs, suicide attempt, DUI arrests. So he decided to take a walk. He walked across CONUS, visiting families of our fallen brothers and sisters. It was very healing for him. Cathartic. I was fortunate to meet him quite by chance in Sep 2016 at the Columbia River Gorge. I then met him in San Francisco in Nov, and then welcomed him home at the finish in Dec, at MCB Camp Pendleton. Hancock, you are an inspiration. From CNN.com: https://goo.gl/hVrVlK.

  9. After the Nazis invaded Denmark in 1940, they came to search the Institute of Theoretical Physics. Two Nobel Prizes won by Germans (James Franck and Max von Laue) were hidden there. Since it was illegal for Germans to accept these medals, if they’d been found, people would have been arrested and possibly sent to concentration camps. At the suggestion of George de Hevesy, Neils Bohr dissolved the golden medals. They then put the liquid on a shelf, where the soldiers ignored it. After the war, they precipitated out the gold and sent it to the Nobel committee, which remade the Nobel Prize medals and gave them back to the winners. (Bohr had already donated his Nobel Prize long before, and de Hevesy won his after the war.)

Great story, DD!

The 2001 LA Lakers also went undefeated to get to the Finals, but they went 11-0 because the first round was the best of 5, not 7. And, not to jinx it, but I WANT A FINALS SWEEP!!!

  12. Adolfo Kaminsky was a teenage apprentice to a dry cleaner and clothes dyer when he was recruited by the French Resistance to forge and create documents that would save the lives of Jews fleeing the Nazis. Once he was given 3 days to produce 900 documents for 300 children and forced himself to stay awake 2 straight days to do it. Eventually he went blind in one eye due to overwork.
