Dr. George L. John, BSI ("Sir Jasper Meek") died on February 6, 2011 at the age of 90. During World War II he served as an engineer in the U.S. Army, was captured by the Germans in 1944 and released in 1945. When the war ended, he furthered his education utilizing the GI bill. After witnessing the carnage of war, Dr. John decided to embark on a career helping his fellow man. He graduated from Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas in 1950 and established a private practice in Nebraska. He was the quintessential country doctor, often paid in sides of beef, chickens and general produce. He later returned to Texas and was a staff physician for 16 years for the University of Texas.<br />
<br />
Dr. John was involved in many civic organizations and was a patron of the arts. He loved opera and at one point had concurrent season tickets to every major and minor opera company in Texas. He was a cellist, an avid chess player, ham radio operator, and dabbled in astronomy by hand grinding the mirrors for, and building, his own telescope. For a fuller recounting of his life and interests, please <a href="http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/statesman/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=148486267">see his official obituary</a>.<br />
<br />
Dr. John was a member of The Maiwand Jezails and in 1965 attended the Basil Rathbone lecture at Wayne State College. He was invested into The Baker Street Irregulars in 1969 as "Sir Jasper Meek."

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pope Leo XIII</td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
It seems like popes have always been an important part of world happenings. More often than not ruling pontiffs shape the world in which they live. There is no doubt, for instance, that the late Pope John Paul II (to be beatified May 1, 2011) played an important historical role on the world stage, regardless of how one views the man. And the same could be said of the pope of Holmes’ and Watson’s time, Pope Leo XIII. <br />
<br />
Born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci, Leo XIII is considered by many historians to be the first “modern” pope. The first to be born in the 19th Century, he was the first to die in the 20th. Liberal in the classical (rather than modern or political) sense, he opened the Vatican archives to scholars for research. He encouraged the study of science, and renovated and updated the Vatican Observatory to house the best equipment and astronomical scientists to be had at the time. He was the<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Pv-UuGUDM&feature=related"> first pope to be heard on a recording</a>  and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCIrT5g5g3g&feature=related">the first to be filmed</a>, thrilling at scientific and technological advances.<br />
<br />
While he was trained at the Academia dei Nobili for diplomacy and law and the son of nobleman himself, Leo was the first pope in many centuries not to rule a kingdom. Under the reign of his predecessor, Pius IX, the Papal States were lost to the new Kingdom of Italy. Pius therefore shut himself up in a type of self-imposed house arrest as he demanded the independence of the Vatican from the surrounding country. Leo XIII continued the protest, also not leaving the Vatican for fear that he and the Church would placed under the power of the Kingdom of Italy (though after his election he sneaked out incognito to retrieve papers from his former residence). His imprisonment and that of succeeding popes would last until 1929, when Pius XI signed the Lateran Treaty bringing the present Vatican City State into existence. <br />
<br />
Because he had no real temporal power, Pope Leo was immediately placed in a neutral role by the world at large and seen by many potentates as an ideal arbitrator. It was his diplomatic influence that prevented a likely war between Germany and Spain in the 1880s. He also was pivotal in encouraging France’s alliance with Russia, which offset the Triple Alliance. Of course, these alliances would lead to the coming Great War, but for their time they helped keep the world’s powers at peace.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Leo XIII endorsed a <br />
vintage spiked with cocaine.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>Leo XIII also was instrumental in encouraging what would become the labor movement in the United States and other countries throughout the world. His encyclical Rerum Novarum clearly stated Christian principals in the relationship between capital and labor. In it he strongly condemned socialism and communism for restricting the right of an individual to own property as well as other personal freedoms, but he also held a critical eye  toward capitalism which did not allow workers a direct share in the fruits of their own labors.<br />
<br />
<br />
As I researched Pope Leo for my book <a href="http://www.holmeschurchmysteries.com/">Murder in the Vatican: The Church Mysteries of Sherlock Holmes</a>, I discovered he held many characteristics in common with our beloved master detective. He was tall (for an Italian), painfully thin, and held to a more aesthetic lifestyle. He rarely slept, preferring his work to rest. He imbibed cocaine on occasion in a wine vintage known as Vin Mariani—and so enthusiastic was he about the wine he awarded it a gold medal and appeared on an advertisement poster for the product. He used tobacco in the form of snuff. And, I was amazed to find that Pope Leo greatly resembled Sydney Paget's illustration of Holmes in the guise of an Italian priest! Needless to say, I had a little bit of fun with that. ;)<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 10pt;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</tbody></table>Leo's Vatican home was completely devoid of a feminine presence. This was not, however, because he was a misogynist. On the contrary, he asked all women (including servants and religious) to leave the Vatican when he became pope motivated by an unusual sense of chivalry. He desired to shield them from any victimization, temptation or scandal, and to protect his priests from the same. <br />
<br />
He was, to sum up, a man of his time as well as a man of the future. He was the most prolific pope, writing 85 encyclicals during his reign, which was the third longest in history (1878-1903). A logician himself, he was an enthusiast of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose philosophical works led to what we now know as the scientific method. <br />
<br />
<br />
There couldn’t have been a more perfect pope, then, for whom Holmes would solve not one, but two cases (see references in BLAC and HOUN). I had great joy telling untold tales about him and the Master and I believe Holmes and Watson had a great deal of fun with him as well. <br />

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wsmonty/4181736387/" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="illu-02 by Scott Monty, on Flickr"><img alt="illu-02" height="240" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2531/4181736387_7b33f607b8_m.jpg" width="201" /></a>This year, April 1 came and went without a practical joke from us. You may recall <a href="http://www.bakerstreetblog.com/2007/04/there-is-long-row-veil.html">the first time we attempted an April Fool's post</a> was in 2007, when we played off of rumors that Russell Crowe was being considered to play Sherlock Holmes in the upcoming Warner Brothers' film. We suggested that it was Nicholas Rowe who was being brought out of Holmesian retirement, and a number of entertainment blogs picked it up.<br />
<br />
Last year, we went back to the entertainment world and surfaced a report that <a href="http://www.bakerstreetblog.com/2010/04/inconceivable-sequel-empt.html">Amy Adams was going to be playing Mary Russell</a> in a movie adaptation of <b><i><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Beekeepers-Apprentice-Segregation-Suspense-Featuring/dp/0312427360?ie=UTF8&tag=thebakerstree-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969" target="_blank">The Beekeeper's Apprentice</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=thebakerstree-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0312427360" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></i></b>. Our audience must have learned a lesson, as this wasn't nearly as successful as the first one.<br />
<br />
But Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson did manage to play a part in at least one April Fools' Day prank that we heard about.The social networking site <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/">LinkedIn</a> - a platform for professionals to connect and share work experience - used its helpful feature "People You May Know" and suggested a few familiar but unlikely suspects.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fATB5huu930CVZCRSCNyffLBwjMOiO9cRPZwcU2uj-8RsnC8f91V61rOn0Mlam-FyFXRrqVSOW5QYRGrGtNvfwPtqsnfQvYjx9dCn6z3sU5D_UI4Sthe0JxSm9Md0JVSCDT6QV20PI2c/s1600/linkedin-celebrities.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5fATB5huu930CVZCRSCNyffLBwjMOiO9cRPZwcU2uj-8RsnC8f91V61rOn0Mlam-FyFXRrqVSOW5QYRGrGtNvfwPtqsnfQvYjx9dCn6z3sU5D_UI4Sthe0JxSm9Md0JVSCDT6QV20PI2c/s1600/linkedin-celebrities.jpg" /></a></div><br />
What an amazing opportunity: a chance to connect directly with Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes! It's almost the digital equivalent of writing a letter to 221B Baker Street and getting a response from Sherlock Holmes's secretary, a role the Abbey National Bank filled for so many years.<br />
<br />
In addition, YouTube got into the action by changing their logo for the day to what they used a century ago: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFK6Updi1lRPScAxPJ17W_vmtQijEFx6MSAa00YRG1goH3sWQP7cI7VALx7osckPdDtazB60Vmh8PeIjnAi8gxOEOXagMNuAA5zdxS_HTGtkJyosPC2uNlxbfGn4hrbDVNeinQi6uzyuH3/s1600/YT1911.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="195" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFK6Updi1lRPScAxPJ17W_vmtQijEFx6MSAa00YRG1goH3sWQP7cI7VALx7osckPdDtazB60Vmh8PeIjnAi8gxOEOXagMNuAA5zdxS_HTGtkJyosPC2uNlxbfGn4hrbDVNeinQi6uzyuH3/s320/YT1911.PNG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
They created a video summary of the "<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNm8ZCJ7Fx8&feature=player_embedded">Top 5 Viral Pictures of 1911</a>" that even included a horse and buggy crash - watch closely for it:<br />
