5) In 1964, at age 4, Roger Lausier was saved from drowning off a beach in Salem, Mass., by a woman named Alice Blaise. Nine years later, in 1974, on the same beach, Roger paddled his raft into the water and pulled a drowning man out of the water. The man was Alice's husband.

4) Nicholas Stevin Wadle was born at 9:09 am on the ninth day of the ninth month of 1999. He weighed 9 pounds, 9 ounces.

3) On three separate occasions -- in 1664, 1785 and 1860 -- there were shipwrecks where only 1 person survived. Each time that person's name was Hugh Williams.
