Highwayman According to De's Characters
I was a highwayman
Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of '25
But I am still alive
I was a sailor
I was born upon the tide
With the sea I did abide
I sailed a schooner 'round the Horn to Mexico
I went aloft to furl the mainsail in a blow
And when the yards broke off they said that I got killed
But I am living still
I was a dam builder
Across the river deep and wide
Where steel and water did collide
A place called Boulder on the wild Colorado
I slipped and fell into the wet concrete below
They buried me in that great tomb that knows no sound
But I am still around
I'll always be around, and around and around
And around and around and around and around
I'll fly a starship
Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll come back again, and again
And again and again and again and again
And again

De Footage - Studio One: The Last Cruise
I've never seen this footage so I thought I'd share. Be warned the copy isn't super great but it's not too bad. The whole story is uploaded in 4 parts, but it's very easy to find under the uploader's profile.
De plays a minor character, Dr. Bob Philo (a scientist, in a checkered shirt, the only one in civilian garb) and mostly appears in part 1, and a little in part 2. I don't think he appears in parts 3 and 4. It was really hard to see him, and there is another actor that sounds a lot like him.
Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjqjkTXpFzY&t=787s
Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIaNxliNUog&t=1s
Interesting true story about a submarine the USS Cochino. It and another submarine were conducting operations/material testing in the artic when a storm damaged the sub and started a barrage of bad luck (battery explosions, loss of communications, fires, release of hydrogen gas, etc), causing most of the men to have to wait on top of the submarine in freezing conditions, with only the injured staying below. They're eventually rescued by their sister sub the USS Tusk.
According to Wikipedia, the only fatality from the Cochino is Robert W Philo (De's character), a civilian technician from the Bureau of Ships, when he was swept overboard. (The Tusk lost 6 men in the rescue attempt).
However, De's character is never swept overboard. Another sailor is, but he is rescued.
