Thomas J. Bopp (born October 15, 1949) is best known as co-discoverer of comet Hale–Bopp (with Alan Hale) in 1995.
 At the time of the comet discovery he was a manager at a construction materials factory and an amateur astronomer.
 On the night of July 22, Bopp was observing the sky with friends in the Arizona desert when he made the discovery.
 It was the first comet he had observed and he was using a borrowed, home-built telescope.
 Hale and Bopp both discovered the comet by chance at approximately the same time.
The Great Comet of 1811, formally designated C/1811 F1, is a comet that was visible to the naked eye for around 260 days, a record it held until the appearance of Comet Hale–Bopp in 1997.
 In October 1811, at its brightest, it displayed an apparent magnitude of 0, with an easily visible coma.
The Lakes Route is an alternate name for the Douglas Road, which was the first formally designated "road" into the Interior of British Columbia, Canada from its Lower Mainland area flanking the Lower Fraser River.
 Also known as the Douglas-Lillooet Trail or the Lillooet Trail (not to be confused with the Lillooet Cattle Trail, also called the Lillooet Trail), the route consisted of a series of wagon roads connected via lake travel in between.
 A variety of craft were use on the lakes, from steamboats to sail-driven rafts to, through the early 20th Century, diesel and other engines.
 Lake travel continued for commerce, passenger travel and heavy freight until after World War II.

Comet Hale–Bopp (formally designated C/1995 O1) is a comet that was perhaps the most widely observed of the 20th century, and one of the brightest seen for many decades.
Comet Hyakutake (] , formally designated C/1996 B2) is a comet, discovered on 31 January 1996, that passed very close to Earth in March of that year.
 It was dubbed The Great Comet of 1996; its passage near the Earth was one of the closest cometary approaches of the previous 200 years.
 Hyakutake appeared very bright in the night sky and was widely seen around the world.
 The comet temporarily upstaged the much anticipated Comet Hale–Bopp, which was approaching the inner Solar System at the time.
The Strawberry Blonde is a 1941 Warner Bros. feature film directed by Raoul Walsh, starring James Cagney and Olivia de Havilland, and featuring Rita Hayworth, Alan Hale, Jack Carson and George Tobias.

 The title is most often listed beginning with the word The, but the film's posters and promotional materials call it simply Strawberry Blonde.
 Director Walsh remade the film in 1948 as "One Sunday Afternoon".
 Also this was a remake of "One Sunday Afternoon" (1933) with Gary Cooper.
