We're slackers...

We don't update The P5 every day like we used to. So when we slack off, just use the search box up there on the right. Yeah, the red box, that's it. Search The P5 Archives. You'll be glad you did.

Happy Birthday!

Really? Not surprised, I guess. Maybe he thought he was a Cuban baseball player! Anyway, Fieger and Averre were born in 1952. Prescott Niles is officially listed as being born in 1954 on more than one resource site. Do you know where I can find proof to the contrary?

He was born at 5:00 am on May 2, 1951 in Brooklyn, New York. His given last name is Fine, not Niles. Niles is his middle name.

Apparently, his brother Scott didn't go by his given name either. It was Leslie (not sure of spelling), which is Prescott's daughter's middle name.

Two more things:

1. Berton was born in 1953, not 1952.

2. Bruce was born in 1951, not 1952.

Prescott Niles is my second cousin. I have never met him. He is my dad's cousin. He was indeed born in Brooklyn, NY to his mom Shirley. As soon as I find the copy of the family tree, I could post more info. ;)

That would be fantastic!

I personally know him and his family. He was born on May 1, 1951(not 1954 or any other date you may see on the web). I've seen his birth certificate as well as the birth certificates of his children.
