1 Hall J. Kelley Colonisation / exploration (Oregon Country) Funding/logistics failed; expedition goals not reached.

2 Luther Sage “Yellowstone” Kelly Frontier exploration / scouting Personal success limited; broader ambitions undercut.

3 Mark Kelly Space venture / business Promised service/jobs not delivered (space tourism)

4 Jonathan Falconbridge Kelley Publishing/journalism Venture unsuccessful; little lasting impact

5 William Kelly Steel invention/business Patent lost; personal bankruptcy despite technical promise.

6 Thomas J. Kelly Political insurrection (Irish nationalist) Rising failed due to lack of planning/arms.

7 Alvin “Shipwreck” Kelly Publicity stunt/entertainment (pole-sitting) Fad declined; died penniless.

8 William Donald Kelley Alternative medicine/health therapy Therapy ineffective/harmful; license revoked.

9 Jim Kelly Quarterback Buffalo Bills Four time SuperBowl entrant, losing all four times


That's a lot of hard legacy to overcome, especially when one is soft.

It's like the Frog and the Scorpion. It's in the DNA.

I was confused at first and then I laughed out loud while reading the rest of this post. I love that you put so much effort into this.

As I read the list, I was thinking Jim Kelly has got to be on there. Great list.
