50_19 caught my eye since it's the grave of William Bingham. I didn't
know he was buried in Bath but certainly know the name. I live only a
few miles from the city of Binghamton which is named for him and
Binghamton University (one of the New York State University campuses) is
my alma mater. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bingham>
From the wiki article
---------------------------------------------------------------------
He [Bingham] was also a land surveyor, and looked to develop areas
currently a part of Southern New York, and Northern Pennsylvania. One of
his prime prospects was at the confluence of the Chenango River and
Susquehanna River. Judge Joshua Whitney Jr., settler and Bingham's
agent, called this town Binghamton to honor him. Furthermore,
Binghamton's resident university Binghamton University recognizes
Bingham through the naming of Bingham Hall.

Thanks! I needed something this morning to take my mind off a Keystone
Kops scenario. After numerous back and forth exercises with a company
that was supposed to deliver some products to me 2 weeks ago (and
critical that I receive it by tomorrow) they suddenly shipped it by
FedEx last night... to the wrong address. :-(
