What a bio this guy had--a downright, real-life "Prince and the Pauper", all in one!

Presume that the estimable Epstein* could lecture for a half-hour about this fellow; the rest of us should read Wiki in full.

He could nevah have been moah than a long-shot contendah
for Emperor and Tsar-Autocrat of All the Russias...
Grand Duchess Maria and her son clearly represent the
senior line of descent.

My west-coast-state travels are limited to the 1983 wedding of a
second cousin in San Francisco;
the 1984 and 1996 World Science Fiction Conventions in Anaheim,
and the 1993 one in San Francisco;
a 1991 or 1992 visit to Los Angeles while I was the day-to-day
manager of the CompuServe Showbiz Forum;
and a 2004 Amtrak trip to Las Vegas,Nevada (to lecture on my
supercentenarian research at an anti-aging conference) that
involved getting off at a freight-train crew-change yard
in Needles,California for a bus ride after the train had
gone through Las Vegas,New Mexico (you could buy a ticket to
either Las Vegas but only the non-casino version had a train
stop).

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.

It should be noted here that he succeeded the late Prince Philip,
Duke of Edinburgh,as the oldest living,but failed to surpass
him as the oldest-ever,descendant of King Christian IX of
Denmark(1818-1906).
