. . . When I read the thread title, I thought that Francis Newlands was some actor that appeared with Chevy Chase the comedian. I literally thought: Who would dedicate a fountain to Chevy Chase?

And yes, I do know that there is a Chevy Chase, MD, but I don't think that I did back in 1975, when SNL first aired.
