Paul Eagle Star came to Sheffield in 1891 with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. He died following an accident when his horse fell on him & many believed he was buried at Wardsend. Some people still do. Committee member Malc Gibbons wrote a song about him. wardsendcemetery.wordpress.com/2026/01/14/p...

Crew-11 SPLASHDOWN.
Welcome Home Crew-11

I was too tired to go anywhere so I stayed home to see if I could see the #Crew11 capsule from the backyard in one opening I have in the trees. It made it and I have photographic evidence but that's about it. Pretty epic to watch even for a few seconds and that thing was hauling ass!
