How is Don Hank Pines and the Dinner Crew remembered by history and how are the rumors he could control Alcor recorded.
Well, they’re remembered extremely briefly, for the most part, unless you’re specializing in that area and era and subject matter. Like most people can’t say much about Al Capone aside from the fact that he was a very famous gangster, plus maybe one or two pieces of trivia, the general populace’s knowledge of Don Hank Pines in the future probably isn’t high.
Now, specialists in the realms of history that would include him specifically, that’s another story, and probably a slightly confusing one at that, all due to documentation. In general, the Dinner Crew might get mentions as a whole in newspapers and opinion columns from time to time, as well as online platforms such as social media and news websites, but imagine having to sort through all the fluff and faff to find truths about it. And on the other side of things, there’s Hank Pines, who has birth and death and marriage certificates all proper and in order, and filed his taxes every year and worked in computer programming and whose significant other taught at an elementary school in the area, and all that verified papertrail is so utterly mundane.
As for the rumors about Alcor, it could depend on the sources of those rumors and how many mouths and minds they pass through before being written down in any format. Then it’ll probably depend on what the format is and who is doing the writing and why and whether it can at all be verified to determine whether it’s taken as a historical likelihood as opposed to a kind of runaway intimidation tactic or misunderstanding.
So in short…I’m pretty sure there’ll be plenty in all of this for future historians to argue and throw shade at each other over in series of back-and-forth academic papers.
