Henry Kissinger is the most recent of 12 Secretaries of State to serve under multiple Presidents. In all but three cases, this was due to the first president’s term coming to an early end (via death or resignation).
Dance With Me, Henry was the last theatrical movie Abbott and Costello ever made together.
Kenneth Branagh both directed and starred in the title role of Henry V in 1989, as had Laurence Olivier in 1944.
Actor Laurence Fishburne is the same age as I am.
Oh, and he was born in Augusta, Georgia, too. The 2012 (and 2010!) World Champion San Francisco Giants have a minor league affiliate in Augusta called the Augusta Green Jackets. The “Green Jacket” is a reference to the fact that every member of Augusta National Golf Club receives a green sports coat, or jacket, with the club logo on the left breast. Beginning with Sam Snead’s victory in the 1949 tournament played there, the yearly winner receives a green jacket.
In 1978, two year old Tiger Woods putted against comedian Bob Hope in a television appearance on The Mike Douglas Show. And my jaw dropped when I saw the clip decades later and realized I’d seen the original airing.
At the 1995 Bob Hope Classic, the host comedian was the only non-president in a golfing foursome that featured Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.
The USS Consolation was a hospital ship used to treat injured soldiers win World War II. When it was decommissioned in 1960, it was chartered to the People to People Health Foundation and renamed the SS Hope. As such, it traveled to undeveloped countries to provide medical care and training until it was retired in 1974. The Foundation later changed its name to Project HOPE (Health Opportunities for People Everywhere).

Annie - cool, on both accounts! That 1978 clip is likely out on YouTube, I’m guessing, and it’d be cool to watch that. I’ll have to try and find it.

Now, back to RealityChuck’s clue, but I’ve got nothing to play off of that right now.
Youtube clip of 2 year old Tiger Woods. It’s so cute.
Edward J Fister, who was a pioneer in the development of RADAR and worked on the electrification of the GG-1 (the worlds fastest engine), Retired in 1974. RADAR was what helped England win the Battle of Britain.
Yes, very cute and thanks for that Annie.
I don’t play the game, but I don’t think they call that a putt. He’s swinging away! 
On-game: MAS*H character Corporal Radar O’Reilly hailed from Ottumwa, Iowa.
Canadian comedian Dave Broadfoot developed a stand-up character, Corporal Renfrew of the Mounted. Although he always got his man, his stories always included the tag-line, “when I recovered consciousness.”
On a trip to the RCMP training Depot in the late 70’s, Corporal Renfrew obtained an honourary promotion to Sergeant, from the Mounties themselves.
(As an aside, I was in the audience in Regina when Broadfoot came on stage for a performance, wearing his uniform, with the lights dimmed. The announcer said, “And now, Corporal Renfrew of the Mounted!” Broadfoot said, “That’s not right!” The lights came up, showing his sergeant’s stripes, and he said with a broad grin, “I’m now Sergeant Renfrew.” The crowd went wild.)
James Doohan, later to play Scotty on Star Trek, served in the Canadian Army during World War II, and was wounded (losing the tip of one finger) by friendly fire on D-Day.
The Canadian Army was the only Allied force to achieve all of its objectives on D-Day. At the end of the day, it was the farthest advanced into France, having faced some of the most serious opposition.
James Buchanan was the only US president to have served as an enlisted man in the Army and not go on to become an officer.
In WWI, Harry S. Truman’s artillery battery provided fire support for George S. Patton’s tank brigade during the Battle of the Argonne Forest.
The US Army’s officlal song, “The Army Goes Rolling Along”, no longer includes the now-unsoldierly line “For it’s high high hee / In the Field Artillery,” or the now-unfamiliar word “caisson”, although it retains the melody arranged by John Paul Sousa.
“Stars and Stripes Forever” (1952) was the movie biography of John Philip Sousa.
The “Mad Piper of D-Day” was Bill Millin, born in Regina, Saskatchewan. He was personal piper to General Simon Fraser, Chief of Clan Fraser and 15th Lord Lovat. As the troops landed, Lovat directed Millin to pipe them in, following Scottish military tradition and in disobedience to a directive from the War Office. Amongst the tunes Millin played was the song, “The Road to the Isles.”
Millin survived unscathed. Captured Germans said that they had seen him and assumed he had gone mad from battle, so didn’t shoot at him.
Lord Lovat died in 1995. Millin piped at his funeral. Millin died in 2010.
