Actually he (Jack Klugman) wins but there's no one around to see him win and
Jonathan Winters' character returns "upstairs" or back into the photograph
of him that hangs there. I hope those episodes are preserved in the "Museum
of Television and Radio" in New York City and Los Angeles, CA. I remember
the day another native New Yorker, from Jamestown, NY, Lucille Ball, the 9
(nine) TV screens in the museum's window showed just a picture of her, at
least that's what I saw from the bus. There is a museum of Lucille and Desi
Arnez in Jamestown, NY. Desilu Studios are resposible for putting on "Star
Trek". The talk is off target, but I thought it interesting.

One problem we've had on Long Island (besides a contact grave robbed out in
Montauk) is that of one cemetery belonging to natives that has just stones
on the ground, none of them marked in any way. These group of stones were in
the oral history and different archaeologists tested parts of it that were
about to be developed. I had the dubious distiction of trying to take the
various efforts and combine them into a map for a presentation in the early
days of CAD for the Town of Easthampton I think for Joel W. Grossman, Ph.D.
It is odd to take what I think were six different attempts, each limited by
impacts and arrive at conclusions about native burials. In the first
instance, at 1 million an acre, 25 years ago.
