My imagination is running rampant creating scenes in which the inspiration for your find might have been used. Some of the imagined scenarios are not appropriate to mention on a civilized blog like your own. Oh well, educators do go a little bonkers as we near the end of a school year. And the children think they are the ones longing for summer break! Oh, how little do they know! rionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141923797221351378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-80751754156831842952013-04-25T04:46:40.672-07:002013-04-25T04:46:40.672-07:00Truly great finds!

My dad had lots of second-hand stories of his exploits- his relationship with the Windsors, as well as Charles' participation on Admiral Byrd's expedition to Antarctica. CJVM ghost-wrote "Alone" by Adm.Byrd. My dad talked via ham radio to CJVM while he was "at the South Pole". Mini-celebrity of his time!<br />The Windors remained friendly with CJVM after the writing of the bio. I believe there may be another book he did re: the Windsors , or maybe just Wallisxeyedmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00884422944735171168noreply@blogger.com
