Monday's Missives

Not a real aircraft- prop for the terrible movie Stealth- it should however enter mass production due to its coolness alone.



  • Two of my idols in an old newsreel. Really bums me I never got to see either Fred Gwynn (Herman Munster) or Al Lewis (grandpa) live in any context and especially to have a chance to meet them.





  • I met one child legend and hero though and actually had a bit of a conversation with him- a great catcher and general human being Jim Sundberg. He is still with the Rangers as a senior executive vice president of public relations and personally visits wounded warriors on Texas bases.





  • A giant of a man although he isn't as tall as his baseball cards say in his personal stats.





  • Some great old photos of an area ranch here.




  • The world is a small place. I remind myself of this often and in my area and profession I get outside reminders frequently. While chatting with a nurse from another agency with whom I share common friends and associates she brought out the name of someone so random I know I had give myself away when I nearly choked on my tongue at the memory she caused to surface but, since she did only give the first name when she asked if I knew her I had plausible deniability,"Hmmm not sure- I've probably met her somewhere along the line..."

Cool! I often drive across the Lake Worth bridge, and had of course seen the old steamwheeler, but had never seen photos of Casino Beach in its heyday.

oh my, Im in heaven, I LOVE old family photo and social history....
I have so few photos of my family past that I just love looking at other proper families....

Do you know (well ya obviously dont lol) that 4 years ago when I was in Winconsin and was rummaging through and old antique junk shop I came across an old family photo album, which to me is the saddest of the sad, this album should belong to a family that treasures it, yet there is was amongst a pile of old books, discarded and in a junk shop.... I flicked through the old sepia photos with smiling faces smiling back at me...... and I bought it and bought it home, cos I figured someone had to love this old forgotten family LOL

aint I such a saddo :)

Love the old pics! I've lived in the Fort Worth/ Lake Worth area all of my life and enjoy seeing those. The old names crack me up! Even Marmite Toasty is pretty funny! I bet I'd like her.
