Recently, while researching BB players pictured on early T-cards, I came across this amazing name coincidence.


Samuel Howard (Howie) Camnitz......born Covington, Kentucky



Henry Richardson (Harry) Camnitz......born McKinney, Kentucky


Shown here is my cousin Samuel Richardson.............. \/ ........born in the Bowling Green, Kentucky area.




Sam is one of my favorite cousins, he gave me some great advice after I graduated High School. He was in the Army-Air Force during WWII, and encouraged me to enlist
in the Air Force in 1960. In hindsight, this was a very smart move since in 1961, I most likely would have been drafted into the Army....and, would have gone to Vietnam.
After a month of basic training in the Air Force, my 1st year was in Radar Electronics School. I graduated as a Radar Specialist, and was assigned to a B-52 bomber base
in Northern Maine.
In May 1963, I was re-assigned to the Tech. School (Illinois) as an instructor in Radar electronics. I was a civilian again in August 1964, and got a job at Bell Laboratories.
The Technical schooling and my on-the-job experience while in the Air Force were invaluable to my EE career. Fortunately a good part of my College costs were payed for
by the G.I. Bill.


Well, I found these Names/Birthplace coincidences with respect to my cousin and Howie & Harry Camnitz quite fascinating.

So, how's about sharing with us your personal (or similar) BB related coincidences.
