Dude, your name is Hicks, and you love history. Why isn't this channel called The Hickstory Squad?

Big Kev, we need a walk through the London tower, if you haven't already done, the class would love a field trip, or a virtual field trip.

Phineas Gage is still known and talked about hundreds of years after his injury. Bless his heart. Rest in peace Mr. Gage, you will not be forgotten.

thank you Kevin.<br><br>You remember the Canadian actor James Doohan who played Scotty on Star Trek. He was at Juno Beach on D day and was badly injured by friendly fire and lost several fingers. When you see the TV show Star Trek they had to shoot around that. But it is true.

Having brain injury myself i have to admit Mr Gage's story is somewhat enviable for several reasons. But we share the same date of it happening which is odd.

Such a grand storyteller! Bravo! Thank you, Kevin. Tonight, I learned much more about the true tale of Phineas Gage than I had previously known. What a tough man he must have been.
