VERN BURTON: https://www.worldbadminton.com/museum/USA/People/VernBurton/

1. Most of the links (for Vern) will be to Peninsula Daily News (local PAY WALL news). It’s weird for local newspapers to have paywalls, unless they desire no money from advertising.
2. Or the links are to the CENTER, the building.
3. It took some digging to find anything concrete about the GUY that made Port Angeles a MECCA for Badminton.

1973, Vern Burton is named Port Angeles Man of the Year … weird so few know who this guy is/was. Same year he retires, same year of the Yom Kippur War … random.

History of Badminton: https://www.mbbadmintonclub.com/wp-content/uploads/History-of-Badminton-USA-1.pdf

1956: Hungarian Revolution / Suez Crisis

1962: Cuban Missile Crisis

1973: Yom Kippur War

1979: Iranian Hostage Crisis, second oil shock of the 70’s

2019: KARY MULLIS DIES (connect to AGILENT and “STAN”)

KARY MULLIS: “Anyone can test positive for practically anything with a PCR test, if you run it long enough with PCR if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody. It doesn’t tell you that you’re sick.”

3. Type in (with double quotes around it) “Vern Burton Badminton” … see what the results are.
4. Then just type Vern Burton Port Angeles: tell me, what do you see more of? – the “center” or the person?
