  1. I am intrigued by the map segment in this photograph:
    naming the towns of Rocky Point and Shoreham.

    The most distinguished resident of the former
    was MARCONI, inventor of the wireless telegraph.
    The most distinguished resident of the latter
    was TESLA, who needs no introduction.

    1. By now I am certain every resident of both towns
      is proudly aware of those "residents."

      The story that truly intrigues me involves
      the Long Island Railroad that ran from New York City
      to Port Jefferson:

      It would make a "special run" without passengers
      ten miles beyond Port Jefferson to Shoreham
      for the sole purpose of delivering food
      from the Waldorf Astoria to Nikoli Tesla
