Comment on Monday, Aug. 25, 1947: How to sell lemonade by Papa Larry H

Ah, the good old days! If the beverage companies of today had to settle for 17 cents profit on a gallon of whatever (and he had to pay the help), they would drop the product or the whole business! and the lemonade back then was homemade, home squeezed! Delicious! You can’t go home again, I guess. Just like anything from the past. Papa Larry H

Comment on Monday, Nov. 18, 1957: Ed Gein’s arrest by Jesse

I just think it’s interesting that the media tried to connect the murders of Gein’s to the murder’s of some children that took place in previous years. How often it seems we want to try and wrap something up in a pretty bow. Gein’s motive was totally different. Regardless of where his soul is it’s sad that there wasn’t the appropriate help for him. It should also be said that after reading an article in Rolling Stone about the Van Maur killings that there is still no system in place to really help people with serious mental problems once they leave the sanctuary of childhood. We do live in a sad sick twisted world and the only thing that can save us our own inner voice of reason that tells us to be afraid. Ok I got that from a second I caught of Oprah but seriously its true. IF SOMEONE IS CREEPY STAY FAR FAR AWAY. Sadly we can’t always see that but really that inner voice inside us all is usually right on.

Forty years can put a few things into perspective.

Forty years later, the “White Album” is one of the most influential cultural icons in modern history.

Does anyone know who Peter Altman is? Or was?

Nathan could do with a little spell checking himself. Glass houses, casting stones, etc.

Why do you even need public input to the story? Opinions are irrelevent.

Women probably are superior — they never denied men the right to vote, own property, etc. The bulleying by men is a sign of various weaknesses.

What a fantastic story! And the explative - he’s an old man who lived through that ordeal, plus beat cancer - besides, quit acting like you’ve never heard the word! I enjoy the fact that they were able to find the guy and interview him!

Comment on Friday, Nov. 24, 1883: Stone Arch Bridge opens by Capt. Ed Montgomery

Capt. Ed Montgomery — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 18:08:42 +0000

Is it still an operating RR bridge today? Or, hopefully, a bicycling walking bridge? As an out-stater, I’ve seen it plenty of times, but never really got close to it. If anybody has any info about it present use and accessability, please respond here or email me. Thank you!

Olga ultimately became his 4th and final wife. She was 30+ years his junior and died in 1985. She ran his Taliesin estates from the time of his death until hers.
