I just love this story…
This is the last remaining Veteran of WWI…What a man, click this story and read all about him.
I found this absolutely fascinating. I remember watching The Miracle Worker, when I was a little girl and just being engrossed. It was definitely a movie that left a huge impression on me. My does Helen look beautiful in this picture. It’s hard to imagine what her life was like being both blind and deaf, especially way back without modern technology. What a person Anne Sullivan was, who stuck with Helen despite her understandable anger. I know I would have been completely and utterly frustrated to have two of the most important senses not there. Click through to this CNN link and read the entire story about the photograph.
I’ve always liked this “folk” song by Gordon Lightfoot (although sad). It describes the sinking of the freight liner Edmund Fitzgerald that went down in Lake Superior on November 10th, 1975.
If you’d like more info on the story, this site is exclusively dedicated to the entire story and history about The Edmund Fitzgerald. It also shows pictures of the ship itself and the men that died on it. If you’re a history buff like me, I think you’ll enjoy your visit.
