[edit] Major update
Dr. Drake was my favorite professor at UCSC, and I thought he deserved more than a stub entry.
So I've made a major update. I added some details of his early life (mostly from http://www.activemind.com/Mysterious/Topics/SETI/biography_drake.html) and expanded on his accomplishments. Hopefully this can get the article out of Stub status. I'll let others decide on that, however. Ocicat 22:14, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ship
I've editted the reference to the USS Albany, Originally, someone had pointed the link to the USS Albany (CL-23) and not the correct ship, which is the USS Albany (CA-123). The rational behind my change, is that Dr. Drake was born after the USS Albany CL-23 was scrapped in 1930. So there was no way possible that he could of served on that particular ship.
