This will no doubt already be old hat to Librarian Annie but I have just received my first google news alert and was delighted to read
"Another “True of False”. Remember Gordon Lightfoot’s great ballad “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”? The story of the freighter that vanished in Lake Superior in 1975, with no survivors. True or False: Was the namesake, Edmund Fitzgerald, of that freighter, the same individual who along with today’s Major League Baseball Commissioner, Bud Selig, founded the Milwaukee Brewers in 1970? Hard to believe, but the answer is True"
so there you go!!!
