I was following the Freedom Trail in Boston on Dec 31. The third stop is the Granary cemetary, and out front is James Otis. I paid my respects, since the Springfield Historical Society considers him more than just minor patriot.

minor patriot.

Forgive my memory, but wasn't that "Samuel Otis" mentioned by Mr. Hurlbut?

Hmm. I recalled "James Otis" being mentioned in the snpp.com page of the episode, and now looking at the page again I see that while James Otis _is_ mentioned on the page as a possible alternate reference, it _was_ actually Samuel mentioned by Mr. Hurlbut. So your memory is good, and mine sucks.

_Samuel_ Otis, not like that lousy _fake_ Otis.
