The power of intention
If I had to nominate one photographer who is my favourite of all time, it would be Diane Arbus. There is just something about her photographs that impinge on my consciousness, my love of difference in human beings, their subversiveness and diversity. She pictures it all, some with irony, some with love, some with outright contempt, but always with interest. In photographs of dwarfs you don’t get the majesty and beauty that Susan Sontag desired, you get something else instead: the closeness of intention and effect – this is who this person was at that particular moment represented in a photograph, the essence of their being at that particular time.
Arbus was fascinated by the relationships between the psychological and the physical, probing her subjects with the camera to elicit a physical response. Her sensory, emotional, intellectual and aesthetic intelligence creates a single experience in relation to subject, stimulating her to respond to the world in her own unique way. While Arbus may well have hated aspects of American culture – “Its hypocrisy, this ‘happy happy’ story after the war, the consumerism, the racism, she feels deeply about that,” as Anne O’Hehir, curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s American Portraits observes – she photographed everything that makes us human in profound and powerful photographs. To me, her subjects were not ‘caught off guard’ nor did they unintentionally reveal aspects of themselves – they revealed themselves to Arbus just as they are, because she gained their trust, she had empathy for who they were… an empathy that probably flowed both ways, enhanced by the subjects sense of Arbus’ own personal travails.
It is unfortunate then, that this exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art is such a disappointment. This has nothing to do with the wonderful installation by the Heide curatorial team in the beautiful gallery spaces, but in the prints themselves and the artists that accompany Arbus’ work. Let’s look at the prints first.
According to the article “Diane Arbus: Iconic photographs on show together for first time at National Gallery of Australia” by Louise Maher on the ABC News website in June 2016, “The collection is one of the largest public holdings of her work outside New York and, according to NGA curator of photography Anne O’Hehir, one of the most impressive in the world. “The gallery was buying a huge amount of work in 1980 and ’81 leading up to the opening of the gallery in 1982,” Ms O’Hehir said. “We were offered in two lots these extraordinary photographs – they were the first release of prints from the Arbus estate and they were expensive at the time.”
These vintage prints are by the hand of Arbus, not later printings by other people, and as such should be as close a rendition to what Arbus intended the work to look like as can be found. The exhibition text notes that, “All the same, she was very clear about how she wanted her images to look; she worked hard to achieve a particular quality in her prints, which have a distinct feel and appearance that are quite different from other photographs of the 1960s … She reminds us consistently through a number of careful and deliberate strategies that we are looking at a photograph that has been made by a particular person.”
Through these strategies Arbus sought to differentiate her prints from the West Coast Ansel Adams Zone system of printing which was prevalent at the time. The Zone System would have been the antithesis of what Arbus wanted from her photographs. Every popular magazine at that time would have had Zone System stuff… so Arbus didn’t dare align herself with that school. But truth be told, if these prints are the best that she could do as a printer, then they are not very good. As can be seen from the installation photographs in this posting (not the media photographs), some of the prints are so dark as to be beyond comparison to the clarity of the prints that were later produced by her daughter Doon Arbus for the Arbus estate and for reproduction in books. You only have to look at the installation photograph of Xmas tree in a living room in Levittown, L.I. 1963 (above) and another reproduction of this image to see how dark the National Gallery of Australia’s prints are. If you take time to actually look at the photographs one of the prints, Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1966 (1966, below) was barely in focus under the enlarger when developed, and several others have not been fixed properly. They may have been first release, but how far down the release were they? We don’t know whether these were the top shelf prints, or tenth in the stack. I know from personal experience that I have a numbering system from one to ten. You sell the best print and so number two then becomes number one, and so on.
The poorness of these prints again becomes a sign of intention. The print is the final, luminous rendition of a photographers previsualisation, the ultimate expression of their creativity. This is how I want to show you the world, through this photograph. It is the end point of a long process. I believe strongly that Arbus wanted to show things as clearly as possible, as clearly as the best possible use that photography could provide. She is like a razor the way she cuts through. But in these particular final renditions, she lets herself down. And the people who bought these photographs, should have realised what poor prints they were.
Turning to the artists that accompany the work of Arbus… was it really necessary to surround such a powerful artist’s work with such noise? While it is always a delight to see the work of Mary Ellen Mark, William Eggleston, Milton Rogovin, Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, Lisette Model, Walker Evans, Weegee and William Klein, to try and embed the work of Arbus within a photographic milieu, within a cacophony of imagery that stretches from the 1930s to the 1980s, simply does not work. While Arbus emerges out of the concerns of her era, she is such a powerful presence and force that simply no one compares. She is so different from the organised Evans and or the macabre Weegee, more closely aligned to Model, and certainly by no stretch of the imagination does she influence Eggleston, Friedlander, Winogrand or Rogovin in any significant way… that these artists works just become filler for this exhibition. If the intention was to situate Arbus’ work in the chronological “flow” of photography then the concept falls between intention and effect. While no artist’s work appears without regard to historical precedent, their work is simply their own and needs its own space to breathe.
What would have been more interesting would have been to position Arbus’ work within an Australian context. Now there’s an idea, since we live in Australia!
Here we go: exhibit Arbus’ prints with 15 prints by Carol Jerrems (Vale Street, Mark and Flappers), 15 prints of the early work of Polixeni Papapetrou (drag queens, Elvis fans, circus performers and wrestlers) and 15 prints of the work of Sue Ford. Four strong women who deal with issues of gender and identity in a forthright manner – not a cacophony of noise (9 artists, 6 of them men) to accompany the work of a genius. Analyse the influence of Arbus on this generation of Australian photographers. Pretty simple. Clean, concise, accessible, relevant to Australia audiences. Then intention would have possibly met effect.
There are highlights to be had within this exhibition, two in particular.
It was a pleasure to see the work of Milton Rogovin. I have always admired his work, and the small, intimate prints from his Lower West Side series (1973-2002) did not disappoint. While Arbus’ portraits are powerful visualisations, front and centre, Rogovin’s working class families are just… present. His social documentary photographs of working class families are almost reticent in their rendition. “His classical portraits, often grouped in diptychs and triptychs, expound narrative in a single image and over time. They compress time intimately… and by that I mean the viewer is engaged in a conversation with the subject, where we can imagine that we live those lives as they do (transcending time), the lives of what Rogovin called “the forgotten ones.” He makes their countenance, their physicality, the hardships they endure, and their narrative, directly and intimately compelling. We are made to feel their plight in the now and the forever. For these photographs are as relevant, if not more so, now as then.”
The other highlight is to see three Arbus photographs that I have never seen before: Old black woman with gnarled hand; Large black family in small shack; and Addie Taylor in her shack, Beaufort, South Carolina (all 1968, installation views below), all three taken with flash. These works were a revelation for their observational intimacy and evocation of a dark place in the existence of the poorest of human beings. The gnarled hand of the old woman lying in a filthy bed with cardboard walls is particularly distressing to say the least. To compare these photographs with Walker Evans’ flash photograph Hudson Street boarding house detail, New York (1931, below) and his naturally aspirated Bedroom, shrimp fisherman’s house, Biloxi, Mississippi (1945, below) in their pristine emptiness is instructive. This ideation, together with Arbus’ photographs relationship to the work of her sometime teacher Lisette Model (particularly her Lower East Side photographs (1939-1942); Albert-Alberta, Hubert’s 42nd St Flea Circus, New York (c. 1945) and Woman with Veil, San Francisco (1949) all below) are the zenith of this exhibition, where the intention of embedding Arbus’ photographs in the history of the medium come best to fruition, in effect.
Finally, I must say a big thank you to Heide Museum of Modern Art for allowing me to come out to the gallery to take the installation photographs. Many thanks indeed.

“People who met Arbus often said she was incredibly seductive. Immensely curious, she was softly spoken and her ability to connect with and gain the trust of people was legendary. She talked about “the gap between intention and effect”, explaining “it really is totally fantastic that we look like this and you sometimes see that very clearly in a photograph. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.””
Diane Arbus quoted in Kerrie O’Brien (curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s Diane Arbus: American Portraits) “Intimate, dark and compelling: the photographs of Diane Arbus,” on The Sydney Morning Herald website March 14, 2018 [Online] Cited 16/02/2022
“The people in an Arbus photograph are never trivialised; they have certainly a larger-than-life intensity that few other photographers can achieve. While they seem like figures from fairy tales or myth, they are also invested with powerful agency.”
Gillian Wearing quoted in Kerrie O’Brien (curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s Diane Arbus: American Portraits) “Intimate, dark and compelling: the photographs of Diane Arbus,” on The Sydney Morning Herald website March 14, 2018 [Online] Cited 16/02/2022
“When you’re awake enough to question your purpose and ask how to connect to it, you’re being prodded by the power of intention. The very act of questioning why you’re here is an indication that your thoughts are nudging you to reconnect to the field of intention. What’s the source of your thoughts about your purpose? Why do you want to feel purposeful? Why is a sense of purpose considered the highest attribute of a fully functioning person? The source of thought is an infinite reservoir of energy and intelligence.
In a sense, thoughts about your purpose are really your purpose trying to reconnect to you. This infinite reservoir of loving, kind, creative, abundant energy grew out of the originating intelligence, and is stimulating you to express this universal mind in your own unique way.”

Heide is delighted to host the National Gallery of Australia’s touring exhibition, Diane Arbus: American Portraits.
The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923-1971) are among the most widely recognised in the history of photography. Her images stand as powerful allegories of post-war America, and once seen are rarely forgotten. Works such as Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967 and Child with toy hand grenade, in Central Park, New York City have been described as two of ‘the most celebrated images in the history of the medium’.
Featuring 35 of Arbus’s most iconic and confrontational images from 1961-1971, this exhibition examines the last decade of Arbus’s life,the period in which her style is in full flight. Her work has polarised viewers who question whether she exploited or empowered her subjects, who were often drawn from society’s margins. ‘The National Gallery of Australia is privileged to hold such an extraordinary collection of work by a photographer of Arbus’s significance,’ said Anne O’Hehir, curator. ‘This collection covers Arbus’s best-known pictures, and also includes images which are rarely seen. This exhibition is a testament to the power of Arbus’s extraordinary vision.’
Arbus’s photographs are exhibited alongside a selection of works by other leading American photographers whose work influenced Arbus, was shown alongside hers in the ’60s, or has been influenced by her. These include famous images by Lisette Model, Walker Evans and Weegee, her contemporaries William Klein, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Milton Rogovin as well as a slightly younger generation, work by Mary Ellen Mark and William Eggleston.
Heide Director and CEO Dr Natasha Cica said: ‘Heide is delighted to present this exhibition of the renowned photographer Diane Arbus. Her uncompromising view challenged existing photography conventions in a surprising and enchanting way.’

Klein sandwiched his relatively short photographic career, working as a fashion photographer for Vogue, between being a painter and a filmmaker. Self-taught, he experimented with flash, wide-angle lenses, blurring, abstraction and accidents, and produced grainy, high contrast prints. He is deliberately at the other end of the spectrum from the invisible, disinterested photographer. Klein deliberately got really close to his subjects, in their faces, and caught them reacting to being photographed on the street. ‘To be visible, intervene and show it’ was his mantra.

Introduction
The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923-1971) are powerful allegories of postwar America. Once seen they are rarely forgotten. Contemporary audiences found the way that Arbus approached the genre of portraiture confronting and her work continues to polarise opinion. The images raise difficult, uncomfortable questions concerning the intent of the photographer.
Arbus had a huge curiosity about the society around her; her favourite thing was ‘to go where I’ve never been’. As she was a photographer, this manifested as an obsessive exploration into what it means to photograph and be photographed, and what can happen at that moment of exchange – something elusive and a little bit magical. Whether Arbus is an empathetic champion of the outsider, or an exploitative voyeur, is something that each viewer alone must decide.
The National Gallery of Australia’s collection of Arbus photographs is among the most impressive in the world. The NGA is extremely fortunate to have bought 36 rare, vintage prints in 1980 and 1981, from the earliest releases of prints from the Arbus Estate. These works are from the last decade of the artist’s life, the period in which her recognisable style is in full flight and she was in total control of her medium.
These rare prints are shown alongside photographs by others who also sought to redefine the tradition of portraiture, and whose vision of America is also both challenging and moving. The work of these photographers relates to Arbus in a variety of ways: they are influencers, contemporaries or heirs to aspects of her worldview. Like Arbus, they are keen, singular observers of their worlds, transforming the sometimes banal and ugly into images of unexpected beauty.
An uncompromising view of the world
Diane Arbus was born Diane Nemerov, the daughter of wealthy Jewish New Yorkers; her father ran Russek’s, a department store on Fifth Avenue selling furs and women’s clothing. Growing up in an apartment in a towering building on Central Park West, her world was highly protected, one in which she never felt adversity. This was something Arbus resented both at the time and later; it seemed to her to be an unreal experience of the world. At 18 she married her childhood sweetheart, Allan Arbus, and for a decade from the mid 1940s, they ran a successful photography studio doing fashion shots for leading picture magazines.
In 1956 Arbus ceased working with Allan in the studio and began instead to explore subjects of her own choice. She was, apart from the occasional class, essentially self-taught and as she struck out on her own, she undertook a detailed study of the work of other photographers. Compelled to confront that which had been off-limits in her own privileged childhood, she looked to other photographers who had confronted the world head-on, including Weegee, William Klein, Walker Evans and Lisette Model. They recorded, each in their own way, their surroundings with an at-times frightening candour. In their images, Arbus found an uncompromising view of the world, stripped of sentimentality.
Weegee
Weegee turns the banal and seedy underbelly of New York city streets after hours into moments of great psychological drama. A freelance news photographer, he supplied images to the popular press but was also well regarded in art circles. The Museum of Modern Art collected his work and exhibited it in 1943. Arbus owned a number of Weegee’s books and greatly admired his Runyonesque view of the world. She closely studied aspects of his working method as she formulated her own, especially his use of flash. His ‘wild dynamics’ made everyone else ‘look like an academician’, she wrote.
William Klein
Returning to New York in 1954 from his émigré life in Paris, Klein was at once taken aback by what he perceived to be a society pursuing purely materialistic goals, but also excited by the energy he found on the streets. Self-taught, he experimented with flash, wide-angle lenses, blurring and close-ups, abstraction and accidents, and produced grainy, high contrast prints. Klein’s 1956 book, Life is Good & Good for You in New York: Trance Witness Revels, a copy of which Arbus owned, gave impetus to the emerging genre of street photography through his harsh, uncompromising vision of the city. His work was met, particularly in the United States, with misunderstanding and hostility.
Walker Evans
The writer James Agee travelled to Alabama in America’s South in 1936 to research an article on the plight of tenant farmers for Fortune magazine. He chose photographer Walker Evans to accompany him. The article did not eventuate but a book did, Let us now praise famous men. Both men were unnerved by what they saw: Agee wrote of ‘the nakedness, disadvantage and humiliation of … an undefended and appallingly damaged group of human beings’. And yet in the face of this, Evans made images of insistent frontality and careful symmetrical framing; devoid of cliché or pretention, and suggesting an impartiality. This gave the images a great authenticity and power.
Evans’ oeuvre is essentially concerned with how photography represents the world. His significance in the development of twentieth-century photography was reappraised during the 1960s, largely through the largesse of John Szarkowski, the head of the Museum of Modern Art’s photography department at the time. Szarkowski argued that the foundations for many of the key aesthetic and formal tendencies of 1960s photography rested in Evans’ work. The catalogue that accompanied his 1938 exhibition American photographs, in particular, had a huge impact on the new generation of photographers, and on Arbus in particular. She met Evans in 1961 and visited him regularly at his New York home throughout the decade. He wrote in support of her 1963 Guggenheim Grant application.
Lisette Model
Lisette Model’s satirical portraits of the rich on the French Riviera and the photographs she made in the 1940s of the Lower East Side’s poor and marginalised bear out the fact that she took her own advice: ‘Don’t shoot ’till the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach’. By the 1950s she had largely turned to teaching and her influence on Arbus, who took a number of her classes at the New School in 1956 and again in 1957-1958, was profound. Model encouraged Arbus to pursue her own distinctive voice. Model recalled, ‘One day I said to her, and I think this was very crucial, “originality means coming from the source…” And from then on, Diane was sitting there and – I’ve never in my life seen anybody – not listening to me but suddenly listening to herself through what was said.’
The gap between intention and effect
Prior to 1962 Arbus worked primarily with a 35mm Nikon camera. Her images at this time were often about gesture, with grainy images and subjects frequently shown in movement. In 1962 Arbus switched to a 2 ¼ inch medium-format, twin-lens Rolleiflex (later a Mamiyaflex), which she used with a flash and which when printed full-frame, gave the photographs a square format. The pictures she took with these cameras are deceptively, deliberately simple. Compositionally they are often masterful with repetitions of shapes and minutely observed, subtly presented details. Despite the confronting subject matter, her images have a classical stillness, an insistent frontality that she borrowed from classic documentary photography. To this Arbus adds a very deliberate use of the snap-shot aesthetic, with slightly tilted picture planes and people caught unawares, to signal the authenticity of her connection with the subject.
Arbus developed a working method and style that offered what amounts to a critique of the photographic portrait. There is a palpable tension in the way she presents her subjects, a complicity in the image-making process which rubs up against the fact that her subjects seem caught off-guard, unintentionally revealing aspects of themselves. Arbus identified this as ‘the gap between intention and effect’, explaining that ‘it really is totally fantastic that we look like this and you sometimes see that very clearly in a photograph. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it’. Arbus’s ability to connect with and gain the trust of people is legendary. Fellow photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt that she was ‘an emissary from the world of feeling. She cared about these people. They felt that and gave her their secret’.
The aristocrats
As a student at the alternative Fieldston Ethical Culture School in the Bronx, Arbus developed a fascination with myths, ritual and public spectacle. This preoccupation remained steadfast throughout her life. For example, in 1963 she was awarded a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship to document ‘American rites, manners and customs’. Arbus had an almost insatiable curiosity and fascination with the world and she sought to make photographs that addressed fundamental aspects of our humanity in the broadest terms. It was the photographer Lisette Model, with whom she studied in the late 1950s, who made her realise that, in a seemingly contradictory way, the more specific a photograph of something was, the more general its message became.
To this extent, it is notable that Arbus’s photographs rarely address the issues of the day in any overt and obvious way. While there are exceptions – for example, her work for magazines from the sixties, including portraits of celebrities and documentary work examining the plight of the poor in South Carolina – for the most part Arbus used the camera as a licence to enter the specifics of other people’s lives.
She was particularly drawn to marginalised people, who for whatever reason had fallen out of a conventional place in society and were forced (those born into disability) or chose (the nudists, for example) to construct their own identity. To find them, she frequented sideshow alleys and Hubert’s Freak Museum at Broadway and 42nd Street, joined nudist camps in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and visited seedy hotels; she also found them in public spaces, in streets and parks where social rules were often arbitrarily imposed and discarded.
Arbus’s subjects are often seen to play with society’s roles and restrictions. She classified these people as ‘aristocrats’, having achieved a certain freedom from social constraints, and they made her feel a mix of shame and awe.
The prints
Arbus stated that, for her, ‘the subject of the picture is more important than the picture’. There is no doubt that the emotional authenticity of what she photographed was of upmost importance. In keeping with this, she often undersold her skill as a photographer; she often complained of technical difficulties, and others frequently observed that she seemed weighed down by her equipment. In downplaying her relationship to the technical aspects of her work, Arbus sought to emphasise instead her rapport with her subjects. All the same, she was very clear about how she wanted her images to look; she worked hard to achieve a particular quality in her prints, which have a distinct feel and appearance that are quite different from other photographs of the 1960s.
From the mid 1960s, Arbus worked hard to emphasise the photographic-ness of her pictures. She modified the negative tray on her Omega ‘D’ enlarger, which produced the distinctive black border around her images; later again, she used strips of cardboard down the sides of the negatives to blur the edges of her images. Both of these techniques meant that each of her prints is slightly, wonderfully unique. And there is often, as in the cases of Woman with a beehive hairdo and Girl in a watch cap, both made in 1965, damage (tears and marks) on the negative that Arbus has made no effort to minimise or disguise. Close viewing of the collection of photographs held at the NGA reveal ghostly traces of the hand of Arbus. She reminds us consistently through a number of careful and deliberate strategies that we are looking at a photograph that has been made by a particular person.
To know life
Arbus was not alone in photographing the social landscape of America in the 1960s. Others, including Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Milton Rogovin, similarly took to the country’s streets. Rogovin’s life work was to photograph people from poor minority groups, much of his work being made in Buffalo, New York, where he himself lived. Like Arbus, he often knew and befriended his subjects, returning to photograph them over many years, collaborating with them to create images of great dignity and integrity.
Like Arbus, Winogrand and Friedlander were included in the landmark 1967 exhibition New documents, curated by John Szarkowski for the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This was the only major showing of Arbus’s work during her lifetime. While acknowledging that each of the artists in the exhibition had their own distinct styles, Szarkowski characterised them as part of a generation that used the documentary tradition ‘to more personal ends.’ As he wrote: ‘Their aim has been not to reform life, but to know it. Their work betrays a sympathy – almost an affection – for the imperfections and frailties of society’.
An essential aspect of their innovation was the way they positioned photography and the acts of taking and viewing a photograph as an essential aspect of the work. Their photographs were not intended simply as windows to the world. As Winogrand noted when asked how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera, ‘there are no photographs while I’m reloading’. Winogrand, Friedlander and Arbus were fascinated by how the real was translated into the language of photography, and how the experience of the photograph involves a fascinating, multilayered three-way interaction between the photographer, the subject and the viewer.
Garry Winogrand
Winogrand restlessly prowled the same streets of New York as Arbus in the 1960s, working stealthily, capturing people without their knowledge. His viewpoint, one he asks the viewer to join, is unashamedly, unapologetically voyeuristic. He used a Leica M4 with a wide-angle lens and tipped the picture plane, giving his compositions a particular feel. Traumatised by the fraught political tensions of the cold war period, anxiety found its way into the imagery – lending his work an edge that makes for a compelling reading of an alienated and fearful society in the throes of change. His city is a site of unexpected confrontations and strange, witty juxtapositions. Fellow photographer Joel Meyerowitz remarked that Winogrand ‘set a tempo on the street so strong that it was impossible not to follow it. It was like jazz. You just had to get in the same groove’.
Lee Friedlander
Friedlander’s images are invariably about looking and this includes turning the camera on himself. He often intrudes into his hastily grabbed, ironic studies of the city, through reflection or shadow or a pair of shoes. Thus, the viewer of his photographs is constantly reminded that this is an image of the world that is made by someone, in this case, the photographer Lee Friedlander. The works are laconic, witty and intensely personal: and certainly the self-portraits are rarely flattering. Coming at the end of a decade in which a particular, new brand of art photographer had begun to achieve celebrity status, through the efforts of curators like John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art, Friedlander’s self-portraits can also be seen as a shrewd send-up of fame.
Milton Rogovin
Originally trained as an optometrist, Rogovin began his career as a social documentary photographer in 1958, recording gospel services held in ‘store-front’ churches in the African-American neighbourhood of Buffalo, New York. Profoundly influenced as a young man by the impact of the Great Depression, Rogovin reflected that, ‘I could no longer be indifferent to the problems of the people, especially the poor, the forgotten ones’. He worked in collaboration with his subjects, who were always allowed to determine how they should be photographed. His photographs focus on family life, the celebrations and events that bind a community together, and the particulars of an individual’s existence.
The Arbus legacy
Arbus occupies an important place in the development of American photography. Her work has indelibly influenced the way that the documentary tradition has continued to evolve over the last 50 years, with many of the leading contemporary photographers, such as William Eggleston and Mary Ellen Mark, continuing to rethink the tradition, looking back to Arbus just as she looked back to her predecessors. Although it has often infuriated, and continues to do so, those who take issue with the way Arbus photographed the world, her impact on audiences and photographers alike is incontestable.
William Eggleston
While Arbus used the snap-shot aesthetic in her work to increase its aura of authenticity and immediacy, when Eggleston employed the same technique in colour without the abstraction and artistic mediation of black-and-white, contemporary audiences reacted with confusion. Careful observation of the images though reveals a masterful eye, and a sophisticated understanding of the way photography transforms the world. Eggleston’s images are at once monumental and mundane, ordinary and strange, prosaic and poetic. The result is luminous, breathtaking and perfectly banal.
Mary Ellen Mark
The photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark built a career photographing those on the fringes of society, seeking out those who she felt displayed what she described as attitude and often working on projects over many years, slowly earning trust. Her commitment was to give the people she photographed a unique voice, an individuality. Commenting on a body of work, Mark spoke of her desire to let her subjects ‘make contact with the outside world by letting them reach out and present themselves. I didn’t want to use them. I wanted them to use me’.
Mark spent months photographing the New York bar scene at night. This work formed the basis of her first one person exhibition, at the Photographers’ Gallery in London. She reflected at the time, ‘I would like to have the means to travel the whole country and show what America is through its bars. Millions of people who do not want or can not stay at home. The majority of clients are loners, which is why it is extremely difficult to work in these places. I had to make myself accepted’.

While training as a musician in Vienna, Lisette Model studied under the avant-garde composer Arnold Schoenberg, who introduced her to the Expressionist painters of the early 20th century. Influenced by European modernist philosophy and aesthetics, Model abandoned music in Paris in 1933, taking up painting and then photography. She gained initial renown for a series of photographs of men and women lounging in deck chairs along the Promenade des Anglais in the south of France. In 1938, she relocated to New York with her husband (the artist Evsa Model), where she took photographs of exuberant characters on the streets of New York – catching reflections of individuals in store windows and images of feet in motion and holidaymakers around Coney Island. Model taught at the New School where one of her most famous students was Diane Arbus, and was published by Harper’s Bazaar and other magazines.

With its intense red, Eggleston’s picture of the spare room in a friend’s home is one of the most iconic of all colour photographs. Often called The red room, this photograph was intended to be shocking: Eggleston described the effect of the colour as like ‘red blood that is wet on the wall’. But the radicalness of the picture is not just in its juicy (and impossible to reproduce) redness; it is also found in the strange view it provides of a domestic interior, one that Eggleston has described as a ‘fly’s eye view’.

Winogrand was asked how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera. He replied ‘There are no photographs while I’m reloading’: There is no possibility in the Winograndian world view of regarding the camera as a window onto the world; it becomes a mirror reflecting back the photographer’s concerns. Winogrand was fascinated by how the real was translated into the photographic. In the end this fascination became an obsession from which he could not escape or find solace – or meaning. At the time of his death there were a third of a million exposures that he had never looked at including 2,500 undeveloped rolls of film.

“I always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials. But I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.” ~ Lee Friedlander
Friedlander is known for his complex, layered images, exploring the way that the urban landscape fragments our vision. Throughout his career he has found endless fascination in photographing reflections in windows – merging what lies behind the glass with what is reflected in it – out of which he has created juxtapositions which are witty and insightful. He often inserts himself into the image, either overtly or more frequently as a shadow or partially concealed form – part of his face, for instance, hidden behind the camera.
In the 1960s he moved away from a recognisably documentary style toward one in which the subject is more elusive, reflecting a society which had itself become more fragmented and complex. By cropping and cutting up city and natural landscapes he changes our perception of them. In creating compositions that are dynamic, unexpected and often confusing, Friedlander asks us to look freshly at our everyday environments.

“Written with her trademark flair and force, Sontag’s book [On Photography] inaugurated a wave of criticism, much of it influenced by Foucaultian theory, that underscored the instrumentality and implicit violence of photography, its ability to police and regulate it subjects, especially those lacking social and political power: the poor, presumed “deviants” or “criminals,” and workers. As Sontag herself acknowledged, however, photography is not only a predatory means of taking possession, but also a mode of conferring value; it can potentially be put to counter-hegemonic uses, used to see and frame in ways that affirm and legitimate, rather than strictly contain and control, the presence of culturally disenfranchised persons.”
“The power of his art stems from the particular manner in which Rogovin transforms traditional portrait photography and documentary practice, opening up potentially instrumentalist, one-sided visual forms to dynamics of reciprocity and mutuality…”
“Rogovin’s photography thus balances the documentary desire to grasp and present, to “capture” an image of the”Other,” with a commitment to holding back in order to allow his subjects space to shape the photographic process. His practice is a form of”approach,” to borrow a term from Carol Shloss, that resists even as it engages. We might call this an aesthetic of “making space”: a photographic method that creates room for subjects to actively participate in the production of their own images rather than stand as passive objects before a colonizing gaze.”
“The fact that Rogovin’s work at once invokes and questions the camera’s capacity to classify – to embed individuals in a larger archive – echoes his challenge to documentary business as usual. Certainly, Rogovin’s images of working people perform a classic documentary task: to lend public visibility to those who have been overlooked and exploited, to give aggrieved people the social recognition they are otherwise denied in our society. However, his images do not enforce the power and prerogatives of middle-class reformers or governmental institutions, as did so much early twentieth-century documentary photography, which, as Maren Stange has argued, tended to reassure “a 11 liberal middle-class that social oversight was both its duty and its right.” By refusing to provide pity-inducing images of working people that present them as weak and vulnerable, Rogovin’s photographs undercut the sense of privilege viewers often feel when looking at pictures of what Jacob Riis called “the other half.””

Despite a focus on the camera’s relationship to the beauty and pure form of the modern world – “the attraction and charm of the surface” – these photographs are more than just being skin deep. In their very straightforwardness the photographs propose a “rigorous sensitivity to form revealed patterns of beauty and order in the natural and man-made alike.” But more than the portrayal of something we would not see if it were not for the eye of the photographer, the lens of the camera, the speed of the film, the sensitivity of the paper, the design of the architect, the genetics of nature … is the mystery of life itself.
Modernist structures and mass-produced objects in plants and animals can never beat a good mystery. Just look at Man Ray’s Woman with closed eyes (c. 1928, above) or the look in the eyes of Robert Frank’s son, Pablo. You can never pin that down. While form may be beauty, mystery will always be beautiful.

“The world is beautiful is an exhibition of photographs taken over the last 100 years from the National Gallery of Australia’s magnificent photography collection, including work by Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Max Dupain, Bill Henson, Robert Mapplethorpe, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman and many more.
It draws its title from one of the twentieth-century’s great photographic moments, the publication of Albert Renger-Patzsch’s book The world is beautiful in 1928. Renger-Patzsch’s approach embodied his belief that ‘one should surely proceed from the essence of the object and attempt to represent it with photographic means alone’.
Inspired by this confidence in the medium, the exhibition looks at the way the camera interacts with things in the world. One of photography’s fundamental attributes is its capacity to adopt a range of relationships with its subject, based on the camera’s physical proximity to it. Indeed, one of the most basic decisions that a photographer makes is simply where he or she places the camera. The pictures in this exhibition literally take you on a photographic trip, from interior worlds and microscopic detail to the cosmic: from near to far away.
Together, these photographs capture some of the delight photographers take in turning their cameras on the world and re-imaging it, making it beautiful through the power of their vision and their capacity to help us see the world in new ways.”
Text from the National Gallery of Australia website
“German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch was a pioneering figure in the New Objectivity movement, which sought to engage with the world as clearly and precisely as possible.
Rejecting the sentimentality and idealism of a previous generation, Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) emerged as a tendency in German art, architecture and literature in the 1920s. Applying this attitude to the field of photography, Renger-Patzsch espoused the camera’s ability to produce a faithful recording of the world. ‘There must be an increase in the joy one takes in an object, and the photographer should be fully conscious of the splendid fidelity of reproduction made possible by his technique’, he wrote.
This selection reflects the range of subjects that Renger-Patzsch returned to throughout his career. It includes his early wildlife and botanical studies, images of traditional craftsmen, formal studies of mechanical equipment, commercial still lifes, and landscape and architectural studies. His images of the Ruhr region, where he moved in 1928, document the industrialisation of the area in almost encyclopaedic detail. All of his work demonstrates his sustained interest in the camera’s relationship to the beauty and complexity of the modern world.
In 1928 Renger-Patzsch published The World is Beautiful, a collection of one hundred photographs whose rigorous sensitivity to form revealed patterns of beauty and order in the natural and man-made alike. Embodying a new, distinctly modern way of looking at the world, the book established Renger-Patzsch as one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century.”

Near
Close up, the world can be surprising. There is an undeniable intensity and focus that comes with getting up close to people and objects. It is rude to stare, but photography has no such scruples.
Pioneers of the medium attempted to photograph organic forms through a microscope, making once-hidden worlds accessible. The pleasure photographers take in getting up close to their subject has followed the medium’s progress. This was especially the case during the twentieth century, when advances in photographic technology and profound shifts in our relationship to space brought about by events such as war often turned our attention away from the outside world.
For many photographers, the camera’s capacity to subject people and objects to close scrutiny has provided a way of paring back vision to its essence, to view the world unencumbered by emotion and sentiment. For others, getting up close is not just about physical proximity; it is also about psychological and emotional states that are otherwise difficult to represent. Experiences such as intimacy, love and emotional connection, as well as disquiet, anxiety and hostility, can all be suggested through the use of the close-up. Photographers have also used it literally to turn inwards, escaping into the imagination to create dreamworlds. The camera-eye really can see what the human eye cannot.

Gelatin silver photograph

National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
“In photography one should surely proceed from the essence of the object and attempt to represent it with photographic terms alone.”
~ Albert Renger-Patzsch
Renger-Patzsch’s primary interest was in the object as a document, removed from its usual context and unencumbered with sentiment. Die Welt ist schön [The world is beautiful], published in Munich in 1928, is one of the great photographic books in the history of photography and its influence across the world was profound. It is an astounding study of the world, celebrating beauty wherever the photographer found it – in modernist structures and mass-produced objects or in plants and animals. The connection and continuity of industry to the natural world is conveyed by emphasising underlying structural and formal similarities. The Gallery has a major holding of works by Renger-Patzsch, including a copy of Die Welt ist schön and 121 vintage prints, most of which were reproduced in the book.
Renger-Patzsch was always firmly committed to the principle of the photograph as a document or record of an object. While the title for his most famous contribution to photography came from his publisher, he wanted his now-iconic 1928 book Die Welt ist schön (The world is beautiful) to be titled simply Die Dinge (Things). In 1937 he wrote that the images in his book, ‘consciously portray the attraction and charm of the surface’. Indeed, the power of these pictures resides in their straightforwardness.

In 1923 Weston travelled from San Francisco to Mexico City with his son, Chandler and his model and lover, Tina Modotti. The photographs he made there represented a startling, revolutionary breakthrough. Everything got stripped down to its essence, with objects isolated against neutral backgrounds. For these heroic head shots, he moved out of the studio, photographing in direct sunlight, from below and with a hand-held camera. They are monumental but still full of life: Weston was excited by the idea of capturing momentary expressions, in people he found ‘intense and dramatic’.

Frank set out on a two-year road trip across the States in 1955. The images he made of race and class divisions, poverty, alienated youth and loneliness expose America’s dark soul. Others, such as this haunting image of his son, Pablo, were more personal. A selection appeared in The Americans, published in Paris in 1958 and in the States the following year. Many saw it as a bitter indictment of the American Dream, others saw an evocative, melancholic vision of humanity that is deeply moving. As Jack Kerouac commented in his introduction to the American edition, Frank ‘sucked a sad, sweet, poem out of America’

“I try to reveal something about people, because they are so separate, so isolated, maybe it’s a way of bringing people together I don’t want to exploit people. I care about them.”
~ Carol Jerrems, 1977
Carol Jerrems became prominent in the 1970s as part of a new wave of young photographers. Influenced by the counter-culture values of the 1960s, they used art to comment on social issues and engender social change. Jerrems photographed associates, actors and musicians, always collaborating with her subjects, thereby declaring her presence as the photographer. Vale Street raises interesting questions about what is artifice and what is real in photography. She deliberately set up this image, employing her aspiring actress friend and two young men from her art classes at Heidelberg Technical School. Vale Street has achieved an iconic status in Australian photography; the depiction of a confident young woman taking on the world is an unforgettable one. It is an intimate group portrait that is at once bold and vulnerable. In 1975 it was thought to be an affirmation of free love and sexual licence. The image also appears to be about liberation from society’s norms and taboos – ‘we are all three bare-chested, we have tattoos and so what?’
The implication that this scene is perfectly natural is reinforced by locating the figures in a landscape. The young woman is strong and unafraid of the judgement of the viewer. The necklace around her neck is an ankh – a symbol of the new spiritualty of the Age of Aquarius and a re-affirmation of the ancient powers of women.

Nude lying on a love seat
c. 1936
Carbro colour photograph
30.2 x 41cm
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1980
Like the Australian-born Anton Bruehl, Paul Outerbridge studied at the Clarence White School of Photography in New York. White was keen to see photography establish itself as a practical art that could be used in the service of the rapidly expanding picture magazine industry. Within a year of enrolling in the school, Outerbridge’s work was appearing in Vogue and Vanity Fair. During his lifetime, Outerbridge was known for his commercial work, particularly his elegant, stylish still-life compositions which show the influence of earlier studies in painting. He was also admired for the excellence of his pioneering colour work, which was achieved by means of a complicated tri-colour carbro process.
Much of Outerbridge’s fame now rests on work that he made following more private obsessions. His fetishistic nude photographs of women are influenced primarily by eighteenth-century French painters such as Ingres. Although the depiction of nudes was a genre pursued from the inception of photography, Outerbridge’s interest in breaking down taboos resulted in this material, if known at all, being passed over or vilified in his lifetime. Outerbridge sought to express what he described as an ‘inner craving for perfection and beauty’ through these often mysterious, languid and richly toned images.

National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1983
This is one of 12 Centerfolds made by Sherman in 1981. The Centerfolds present Sherman posing in a range of situations, each suggesting heightened emotional states and violent narratives; these associations are augmented by the uncomfortably tight framing and the panoramic format used by Sherman across the series. Initially commissioned for the art magazine Artforum, the Centerfolds were never published because they were deemed, with their apparently voyeuristic points of view, to reaffirm misogynist views of women.

With its intense red, Eggleston’s picture of the spare room in a friend’s home is one of the most iconic of all colour photographs. Often called The red room, this photograph was intended to be shocking: Eggleston described the effect of the colour as like ‘red blood that is wet on the wall’. But the radicalness of the picture is not just in its juicy (and impossible to reproduce) redness; it is also found in the strange view it provides of a domestic interior, one that Eggleston has described as a ‘fly’s eye view’.

During the 1920s, raising three young sons, Cunningham began to focus on her immediate surroundings. This restricted environment encouraged Cunningham to develop a new way of working, as she began to place her camera closer to the subject: to zebras on a trip to the zoo, to snakes brought to her by her sons, and perhaps most famously to the magnolia blossoms and calla lilies she grew in her garden. Observing what she termed the ‘paradox of expansion via reduction’, the intensity and focus attendant to this way of seeing flooded her work with sensuality and reductive power.

National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1987
This leaf skeleton – a leaf that has had its pulp removed with heat and soda – was probably photographed in front of a window in Cotton’s home near Cowra, NSW. Since the 1930s Cotton had been drawn to the close study of nature, and many of her best photographs feature close-ups of flowers, tufts of grass and foliage. This photograph is notable because it was taken in the studio, and reflects the austerity and simplicity that pervaded Cotton’s work in the decades after the Second World War.

Middle distance
The further away we move from a subject, the more it and its story open up to us. While the close-up or compressed view tends to be very frontal (the camera presses up against the subject), the defining characteristic of much mid-century photography was its highly mobile relationship to space: its extraordinary capacity to survey and to organise the world.
The space between the camera and its subject can suggest impartiality and detachment. Documentary photographers and photojournalists, for example, open their cameras up to their subjects, as if to ‘let them speak’. But the depiction of the space between the camera and its subject, and the way that it is rendered through the camera’s depth of field, can also reflect decision making on the part of the photographer. By adjusting the camera’s settings, and thus choosing to render part of the subject in focus, the photographer can direct our focus and attention to certain parts of an image. In this way, photographers put forward an argument based on their world view. Photography can change the way we think about the world.

Bing took up photography in 1928 and quickly developed a reputation as a photojournalist and photographer of modernist architecture. Inspired by an exhibition of modern photography and the work of Paris-based photographer Florence Henri, Bing moved to Paris 1930 and quickly became associated with the city’s photographic avant-garde. Bing worked exclusively with the fledgling Leica 35mm-format camera; her interest in the pictorial possibilities of the hand-held Leica can clearly be seen in this striking view of the Eiffel Tower.

Winogrand had a tremendous capacity to photograph people in public spaces completely unawares. This image records a group of visitors to the 1964 World’s Fair; it focuses on three young women – Ann Amy Shea, whispering into the ear of Janet Stanley, while their friend Karen Marcato Kiaer naps on Stanley’s bosom. The figures fill the space between the picture’s fore- and middle-grounds, to the extent of allowing the viewer to examine people’s expressions and interactions in close detail. This in turn allows us to encroach on the personal space of people we don’t know.

Diane Arbus (American, 1923-1971)
Child with toy hand grenade, in Central Park, New York City
1962
Gelatin silver photograph
Image: 20 x 17.2cm
Sheet: 32.8 x 27.6cm
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1980
During workshops with Lisette Model, Arbus was encouraged to develop a direct, uncompromising approach to her subjects. She did this using the square configuration of a medium-format camera which Arbus most usually printed full frame with no cropping. Model also convinced Arbus, who had been interested in myth and ritual, that the more specific her approach to her subjects, the more universal the message. In many ways this image of a boy caught hamming it up in Central Park, with his contorted body and grimacing face, captures and prefigures many of the anxieties of America during the sixties, a country caught in an unwinnable war in Vietnam and undergoing seismic social change.

“The streets of the poor quarters of the great cities are, above all, a theatre and a battleground.”
~ Helen Levitt
Inspired by seeing work by Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1935, Levitt took to the streets. Children became her most enduring subject. Like Evans, Levitt was famously shy and self-effacing, seeking to shoot unobserved by fitting a prism finder on her Leica. Her approach eschews the sensational; instead she is interested in capturing small, idiosyncratic actions in the everyday. Her images were often shot through with a gentle, lyrical humour though a dark strangeness also surfaces at times.

For Haas, colour photography represented the end of the grey and bitter war years and he started seriously working in the medium after moving to America in 1951. Work on his photoessay, Land of Enchantment and film stills assignments for The Misfits, The Bible and Little Big Man took Haas to the Southwest. The desert landscape of Albuquerque, located on Route 66, had been totally transformed by progress since the 1920s. Photographing the street after rain, Haas has signified that evolution by way of his distinctive ability to translate the world into shimmering energy.

Faraway
Photography has a long-standing interest in faraway places. In 1840, right in photography’s infancy, astronomical photography was launched when the first photograph of the moon was made. As photographic imaging technology has improved, so has the medium’s capacity to make faraway places accessible to us.
Photography can bring foreign places and people closer to home, or collect together images of places and structures that are located in different places. It can also attempt to give a picture to experiences that are otherwise difficult to grasp or represent, such as complex weather events or transcendental phenomena.
Against the odds, there are photographers who make images that are about what cannot be seen. Faraway is often used as a metaphor for thinking about the ineffable and the inexplicable. Science and spirit go hand-in-hand. ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious’, Albert Einstein believed. Photographers can take us to new worlds.

Adams became the most famous landscape photographer in the world on the back of his images of America’s West. While mass tourism was invading these wilderness areas, Adams’s photographs show only untouched natural splendour. His landscapes are remarkable for their deep, clear space, distinguishable by an uncanny stillness and clarity. The story of Moonrise is legendary: driving through the Chama River Valley toward Española, Adams just managed by a few seconds to catch this fleeting moment before the dying sunlight stopped illuminating the crosses in the graveyard. Through hours of darkroom manipulation and wizardry, Adams created an image of almost mystical unworldliness.

Up in the sky is unusual in Moffatt’s oeuvre for being shot out of doors on location. Her photomedia practice is informed by an upbringing watching television, fascinated by film and pop culture. This series takes many of its visual cues from Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Accattone of 1961 as well as the Mad Max series – the references, twisted and re-imagined, are like half-forgotten memories. She addresses race and violence, presenting a loose narrative set against the backdrop of an outback town. The sense of unease is palpable: Moffatt here is a masterful manipulator of mood.

For four decades, Aberhart has photographed the Taranaki region of New Zealand’s North Island, including its settled landscape and its most distinctive feature, the sacred TeMounga (Mount) Taranaki. Using an 8 x 10-inch view camera, Aberhart has over time built up an important archive documenting the social geography and landscape of the Taranaki. Aberhart describes the conical mountain as a ‘great physical and spiritual entity’ and sees his photographs of it as a counterbalance to the countless images of the mountain that circulate on tea towels and postcards.

Caribbean SOUP Scholarship
This Fund is established by Bobby and Velda Brown to perpetuate the commitment of the La Sierra University alumni of the Caribbean and their friends (the SOUP family) to providing Seventh-day Adventist youth from the Caribbean educational opportunities at La Sierra University for years to come. When Bobby and Velda Brown came to La Sierra in 1996, they were welcomed into a community of Adventist believers who not only preached Adventism, but lived it. It was much like things were back in their home community, Jamaica; where most Adventist homes prepared soup for dinner on Friday nights, followed by vespers. You could show up at any Adventist home without an invitation and you would be sure to receive a warm welcome and some good food and great fellowship. So, even though they were living in someone’s home, they treated it like their own and continued the tradition of Friday night soup for dinner followed by vespers. It was not too long before they invited other Caribbean students and friends from La Sierra University to come and partake of SOUP and worship with the host family, Harriet Myres. After graduating from La Sierra University, Bobby and Velda established their own home in Riverside, and SOUP became even bigger, where not only were Caribbean students from La Sierra University attending, but also from Loma Linda University, DeVry University, and ITT Technical Institute. What “SOUP” Means S— Sustained support extended in a wholistic manner that encompasses the spiritual, social, emotional, physical and educational. O— Optimum environment that fosters academic excellence and promote opportunities for students to grow their dreams. It reminisces on the successes of previous students, inspires current students to remain steadfast in their dreams, celebrates individual accomplishments, as well as explores financial resources. U— Utopia—the perfect place away from home where Caribbean students meet weekly to be fed physically and spiritually. After a week of academic rigors, expended energy and other attendant challenges, students are provided with home cooked meal, warm fellowship, physical rejuvenation, and enough motivation to fact the uncertainties of the ensuing week. P— Prayer and persistent petition to God, powerful testimonies and spirit filled worship. The great hallmarks of SOUP are that it affords students the opportunity for worship, Christian fellowship, spiritual replenishment, and professional growth. The success of this magnificent program, established by Bobby and Velda Brown can only be measured by the caliber of students who benefited and the significant impact of their careers. The achievements of alumni from SOUP range from educators, nurses, financial controllers, researchers, philosophers, doctors, among others.

Clarence and Ellen Judd-Peterson Endowed Scholarship
Ellen enthusiastically recalled attending La Sierra Academy the first year it opened. She remembered working four hours a day at $0.20 per hour, climbing down a ladder at night to pick watermelons (since there were not yet stairs to the women’s dormitory), being house-bound for some of that mischief, and the lifelong friends she made. After graduating she earned her RN degree from the Los Angeles Methodist Hospital, graduating 15th out of 495 in her nursing class. In 1957 she married Clarence Peterson, an electrical contractor in Los Angeles, with whom she enjoyed traveling around the world. After his death in 1985, Ellen established two foundations, the Ellen and Clarence Peterson Foundation and the Walter and Alma Peterson Support Foundation, in honor of Clarence’s brother and sister-in-law. This scholarship, which assists students in financial need, honors her mother, who always gave 20 percent to the church.

Hole, Rindge, Williamson Scholarship
When the founders of La Sierra University were searching for a place to locate their new school in the 1920s they eventually settled on California’s Inland Empire. The City of Riverside partnered with Willitts J. Hole, owner of thousands of acres of land in western Riverside, known as Rancho La Sierra, as well as in La Habra, to make available some land for the new school. La Sierra University has enjoyed more than 85 years of educational service on that site. Upon Willitts’ passing, Samuel Rindge took over operational control of the ranch until the sale of the property. Samuel Rindge was the son of Frederik Hastings Rindge, who owned the Malibu Spanish Land grant. Samuel’s daughter Ramona married Martin Williamson, a prominent local architect. Now, descendants of Willitts J. Hole have established a scholarship commemorating the establishment of La Sierra on part of the original family estate. The Hole, Rindge, Williamson Scholarship is designed to assist students who work a minimum of 20 hours per week in support of their educational goals. The family’s goal is to give a helping hand to students who may have to work a bit harder than some, but who have potential to become outstanding citizens.

This award was established by members of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science to honor Hilmer Walter Besel, the founder of both the mathematics and computer science programs at La Sierra University. He taught on the campus from 1960 to 1992. Hilmer got his formal education the hard way: he attended nine elementary and high schools in eleven years, and wasn’t able to enter college until the age of 31. Hilmer studied on his own during the years he wasn’t in school, even tackling subjects such as calculus. When he was unable to solve some calculus problems by himself, he walked six miles across Winnipeg to seek help from the high school mathematics teacher. The teacher looked at the problems and said, “Hilmer, you’re on your own; you are way beyond me in math.” Education was not the only thing that Hilmer did the hard way. He and his wife Lily adopted three Yugoslavian sisters age 11, 13, and 15 who didn’t speak any English. Their love for their new daughters transcended the inevitable problems of communication, and a loving family was formed. Awards from the endowment are given in recognition of students who have demonstrated academic excellence in mathematics or computer science.

In spite of his lack of formal education, he went on to become a successful businessman and used his resources to ensure opportunities that he had not had were available to others. They were generous in supporting education for young people. The founders of the scholarship, daughter and son-in-law, Jill and Thomas Rasmussen wished to pass along a legacy establishing this scholarship to recognize and assist traditional students in the Social Work program that had financial need, showed promise and had a commitment to the values and ethics of the social work profession.

Jim and Kathleen Manning Adventist Colleges Abroad Support Fund
This Fund is established by Jim and Kathleen Manning. Through their own life experiences, Jim and Kathleen know how difficult it is to balance work and academics.

This Fund shall be used to provide support for students who wish to study at colleges affiliated with the Adventist Colleges Abroad program. It is the donor’s request that, when prudent and possible, funding from this scholarship should be given to students with average or low GPA’s. The donor was never a straight-A student and feels that the opportunity to study abroad should be extended to all students.

Edward A. DeLaurier Students in Free Enterprise Endowment
Bud DeLaurier has always been interested in entrepreneurialism. At age six he formed his first business enterprise, shooting carp off the bow of a skiff in Wonder Lake, Illinois with his bow and arrow, and selling the catch for 35 cents to neighbors to use for fertilizer. Living in the Chicago area, he was self-supporting by age 17 but did not have the means to attend college. He worked in banking initially, but through a job with the assessor’s office, he developed a skill in the real estate appraisal field. In business for himself by his mid-20s, Bud built a reputation through his commercial and residential appraisal companies and went back to college, securing an MAI, the highest designation in the profession. He has served as a mentor and counselor for many young people entering the field and has always been willing to share his beliefs about the joy of business ownership. This fund has been established by his business partner and will support activities and project expenses for ENACTUS, formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise.

Jenny Phek Sim Teoh Endowed Scholarship
Jenny Phek Sim Teoh’s short and unselfish life demonstrated academic and personal excellence. Born in Malaysia in 1949, she spent her high school years at the Covenant of the Holy Infant Jesus in Penang, after which she worked for a few years before coming to Loma Linda University. Jenny graduated in 1979 and accepted a position at Adventist Health Systems West. Jenny’s accomplishments included passing all five parts of her accountancy exams on the first attempt, and often preparing the tax returns of friends and senior citizens, for which she asked only friendship in return. On December 27, 1986, Jenny was killed in an automobile collision involving a drunk driver. Because she was unable to establish an endowment as planned in her father’s memory, her surviving family created this fund in her memory to assist students at La Sierra University.

Jessica Ransom's career started in Sheffield, but she made a huge impact in Cornwall where she played Doc Martin's surgery receptionist
When the hit ITV comedy-drama Doc Martin ended in December, Jessica Ransom was ‘hugely emotional’.
Perhaps understandable as Jessica, now 41, who grew up in Sheffield, had played surgery receptionist Morwenna for 11 years, in six of the ten series.
But, now starring in the play Home, I’m Darling which comes to Sheffield this month as part of a UK tour, Jessica is left with many happy memories of working with Martin Clunes (as the Doc) and co on the Cornwall-based show.
‘One day when we were doing a scene where he had to give me a urine sample as a patient, Martin and Kip, the props guy, put warm water and yellow dye in the bottle. So, when he handed it to me it was like a real bottle of wee and I really screamed. Everyone was laughing at me. That’s the kind of thing you can expect from Clunes!’ she laughs.
Jessica was also amused by the funny names given to the patients.
‘We had Dan Gleballs, Iona Castle, Noah Cant, Scott Chegg, a sweet little old lady called Alice Cooper…. Sometimes they weren’t in the script and me and Martin would sometimes try and sneak them in. It was good fun.’
Prominent among the big-name guest stars on Doc Martin was Sigourney Weaver, the American actress of Alien and Avatar fame. ‘She’s so beautiful and wonderful’ Jessica recalls, ‘but she wasn’t starry, she didn’t demand a bigger trailer than anyone else, or anything like that. She got stuck in, and then did all the touristy Cornwall stuff.’
Like the millions of viewers, Jessica was smitten by the seaside town where Doc Martin was filmed. ‘Doc Martin found me my favourite place. It was hard saying goodbye to Port Isaac and the friends we made who live there all the time. In fact, I’ve already booked to go back there for a holiday when this theatre tour ends [in May].’
What’s more, Jessica has souvenirs from the show.
‘I’ve got the painting that was next to Morwenna’s desk. It’s of a dog. There were two. I’ve got one and Martin’s got the other. Mine is in my downstairs loo!
‘I also kept a few bits of Morwenna’s clothing, but I don’t put them together in the crazy combinations she did. Just one splash of colour, not head to toe!
‘Doc Martin fans are very ardent and devout. I’ve been given Lego models of Morwenna and drawings of her. Somebody gave me a wooden butter paddle they’d carved and brought all the way from the States. All manner of nice things. Nothing weird so far, though maybe my agent is keeping that from me!’
Cast members Jessica remains in contact with are John Marquez (who played PC Penhale), Joe Absolom (Al Large) and Robyn Addison (Janice Bone) with whom she’s now writing a sitcom about a running club.
Jessica is both a writer and performer for the kids’ TV series Horrible Histories, for which she won a 2015 Children’s BAFTA Award…which she also has in her downstairs loo.
Of her own childhood, Jessica remembers: ‘I went through a Phillip Schofield phase. I remember crying when he left The Broom Cupboard. I’ve not yet met him. I’ve never been on This Morning. I loved Jason Donovan too. I’m an 80s kid so I was swooning over and Kylie and Jason and thinking ‘That’s what love is!’ And I used to get Bugsy Malone out on video every weekend. I was obsessed with that.’
Considering her success as an actress - she can next be seen on screen in the Netflix feature film The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight - it's surprising there is no showbusiness in Sheffield lass Jessica's background. ‘100pc not!’ she says. ‘My parents, Sue and David, trained as teachers. My mum carried on in education and finished her career as principal of an FE College in Rotherham. My Dad, who was a basketball coach, later ran a charity for South Yorkshire police. They still live in Sheffield, so they're coming to see the play at the Lyceum Theatre and bringing most of Sheffield! It'll be nice to do it at home. My old drama teacher is coming too.
‘Laura Wade, who wrote Home, I’m Darling, is also from Sheffield and she wrote her first play for Crucible Youth Theatre, and I did the sound on it when I was about 14. Also, I did my school plays on the stage at The Crucible Theatre. I’m definitely an actor because of getting to do our school plays on the Crucible main stage as part of the Sheffield Children's Festival.’
It was at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that Jessica made an impressive impact. ‘The thought now of the bravery that that took…it’s extraordinary to me that I managed to muster up the courage to be like ‘I’m just going to write an hour of comedy and perform it for you all.’ Now that terrifies me!’
It led to her appearing as various characters in BBC's The Armstrong & Miller Show in 2009/10...though she's yet to be invited on Pointless with Alexander Armstrong.
Fortunately, Jessica never had any MeToo-type moments in her early career. ‘I’ve never had anything like that happen to me, and I feel very fortunate that that’s the case. I so feel for people who have had that, but I've only encountered nice people who want to make good work.’
However, in 2013, she worked with American movie legend Bruce Willis on an advert for Sky Broadband which got banned for being misleading. Jessica enjoyed her role as an office worker who becomes besotted by Willis when he walks in with his faulty laptop, and ends up walking off with her. ‘It was just so surreal because you don’t get Bruce Willis on set for a long time, so we did a lot of rehearsing with a man who looked slightly like him but only spoke Hungarian because we shot it in Budapest. And then Bruce Willis turns up, does his thing, then disappears, and everybody calms down a bit. When you’re working with someone that famous, everybody goes a bit mad and gets really nervous and stops behaving like a normal person.’
Jessica's real life love is producer/director Ben Wilson (originally from Scarborough) who she met at Birmingham University in 2001 and married in Sheffield town hall in 2011.
‘When I started filming Doc Martin, I wasn’t married and I didn’t have children. Now I am married and I’ve got two!’ she smiles, referring to their sons Frank, aged six, and Arthur, four.
‘We live in leafy Crystal Palace. I’ve chosen a bit of London that most looks like Sheffield because it’s very hilly and green.’
Whether at home or on tour Jessica, who's taken part in the London Marathon four times and always has her trainers with her, loves to run.
She'd also love to be on a certain TV dancing show. ‘I’d do Strictly in a heartbeat’ she laughs. ‘I’ve twice sat in the Strictly audience - once I was in the front row next to Richard Hammond!
‘I was not a dancer growing up. For the music videos in Horrible Histories we get bits of choreography, but it's very much a loose parody of whatever we're trying to do, and once you've got a weird wig and a corset on the dancing kind of goes out the window. But I get to do a little Jive in Home, I'm Darling, which is a real joy to dance.’
In the play, modern day couple Judy (played by Jessica) and Johnny (Neil McDermott) are such fans of everything about the 1950s that they decide to live as if in that era. Judy's quest is to be the perfect 1950s housewife.
‘I don’t think I would be playing the lead in a national tour of a great play if it wasn’t for Doc Martin’, acknowledges Jessica.
‘Every day I’m on a set or stage or in a rehearsal, I feel grateful to be there. I know how many people are trying so hard to do it and I really love my job. What a joy.
‘I just like to work. I feel really fortunate that I’ve got work, a family and a home.’
At 41, is Jessica getting worried about the oft-made claim that decent parts for women over 50 are few and far between? ‘Well, I wasn’t til you asked me that! I can’t think about it yet. One thing at a time. If there isn’t anything, I’ll write something myself.
‘I just want to keep working and keep enjoying it, stay positive and try and make sure it doesn’t ever become a chore.’
And what if Doc Martin were to make a return in the future? "It’s not for me to decide or say. When I started on Doc Martin, I was told that would be the last series, yet I did five more after that. If they asked me, of course I’d leap at the chance.’
Home, I'm Darling is at Sheffield Lyceum Theatre from Tue 18th – Sat 22nd April 2023 For tickets: sheffieldtheatres.co.uk 0114 249 6000

Diane de Poitiers (9 January 1500 – 25 April 1566) was a French noblewoman and prominent courtier. She wielded much power and influence as King Henry II's royal mistress and adviser until his death. Her position increased her wealth and family's status. She was a major patron of French Renaissance architecture.
Early life
Diane de Poitiers was born on 9 January 1500, in Château de Saint-Vallier, Drôme, France. Her parents were Jean de Poitiers, Seigneur de Saint Vallier, and Jeanne de Batarnay. She became a keen athlete, and kept a fit figure by riding and swimming regularly, remaining in good physical condition for her time.
When still a girl, Diane was briefly in the retinue of Princess Anne de Beaujeu, King Charles VIII's eldest sister who skillfully held the regency of France during his minority. Like her fellow charges, Diane was educated according to the principles of Renaissance humanism, including Greek and Latin, rhetoric, etiquette, finance, law, and architecture.
Grand Seneschal of Normandy
On 29 March 1515, at the age of 15, Diane was married to Louis de Brézé, seigneur d'Anet, Count of Maulévrier, and Grand Seneschal of Normandy, who was 39 years her senior. He was a grandson of King Charles VII by his mistress Agnès Sorel and served as a courtier to King Francis I. They had two daughters, Françoise (1518–1574) and Louise (1521–1577).
Shortly after her marriage, Diane became lady-in-waiting to Queen Claude of France. After the Queen died, she served in the same capacity to Louise of Savoy, the King's mother, and then Queen Eleanor of Austria. In 1523, her husband uncovered Constable Charles de Bourbon's plot against King Francis I, but did not know at the time that his father-in-law was involved as well. In 1524, Jean de Poitiers was accused of treason and sentenced to death, but his sentence was commuted. He instead was confined to prison until the Treaty of Madrid in 1526.
After her husband died in 1531 in Anet, Diane adopted the habit of wearing black and white for the rest of her life. They were among the permitted colours of mourning and the symbolic colours of the sides of the moon, playing on her name which derived from the Roman moon goddess. She commissioned sculptor Jean Goujon to build a tomb for Louis in the Cathedral of Rouen.
Diane's keen interest in financial matters and legal acumen became apparent for the first time during this period. She managed to retain her late husband's emoluments as grand seneschal of Normandy and challenged in court the obligation to return the family's appanages to the royal domain. Impressed, King Francis I allowed the widowed Diane to manage her inherited estates without the supervision of a male guardian and keep their considerable revenues.
Royal favourite
Charles V's troops captured Francis during the battle of Pavia (1525), and in 1526 the princes Francis and Henry were sent to Spain as hostages for their father. Because the ransom was not paid, the two boys (eight and seven at the time) spent nearly four years isolated in a bleak castle. The experience may account for the strong impression that Diane made on Henry, as the very embodiment of the ideal gentlewoman: as his mother was already dead, his grandmother's lady-in-waiting gave him the farewell kiss when he was sent to Spain. At the tournament held in 1531 for the coronation of Francis's new wife, Eleanor of Austria, the Dauphin Francis wore the colors of the new Queen as expected, but Henry wore Diane's colors.
In 1533, Henry married Catherine de' Medici despite opposition to the alliance, since the Medicis were no more than merchant upstarts in the eyes of many in the French court. However, Diane approved of the choice of bride, to whom she was related (Catherine's maternal grandfather and Diane's paternal grandmother being siblings, making them second cousins). Based on allusions in their correspondence, it is generally believed that Diane became his mistress in 1534, when she was 35 years old and Henry was 15. As the couple remained childless and she became concerned by rumours of a possible repudiation of a royal wife that she had in control, Diane made sure that Henry's visits to the marital bedroom would be frequent, to the point that he had ten legitimate children. In another act of self-preservation toward the royal family, Diane helped nurse Catherine back to health when she fell ill.
Despite his occasional affairs with other women, such as Philippa Duci, Janet Fleming, and Nicole de Savigny, Diane remained Henry's lifelong companion. For the next 25 years, she was one of the most powerful women in France. When Francis I was still alive, Diane had to compete at the court with his mistress, Anne de Pisseleu d'Heilly. In 1544, Anne convinced Francis I that Henry (now the Dauphin) and Diane were working to reinstate Constable Montmorency at court. After his father banished Diane, Henry and his supporters retreated to the chateau of Anet; father and son wouldn't reconcile until 1545. After Francis's death, Henry had Anne banned from court and confiscated her duchy of Étampes. By then, Diane's position in the Court was such that when Pope Paul III sent the new Queen the "Golden Rose", he also presented the royal mistress with a pearl necklace. She received the prestigious title of Duchess of Valentinois in 1548 and was made Duchesse d'Étampes in 1553. Through the extensive patron-client network she cultivated, her sons-in-law received important positions.
Although she was not openly involved, Diane's sharp intellect, confident maturity and loyalty to Henry II made her his most dependable ally in the court. He trusted her to write many of his official letters, which were signed jointly with the one name: "HenriDiane". Until 1551, she was in charge of the education of Henry's children, and gave orders to their governors, Jean and Françoise d'Humières. Diane also took care of raising Diane of France (1538 - 1619), natural daughter of Henry and Filippa Ducci, who she treated as if she were her own, to the point that some contemporary chroniclers wrote that Diana was actually the biological mother of the girl. Her daughter Françoise managed the Queen's household as première dame d'honneur (chief lady-in-waiting). The King's adoration for Diane caused a great deal of jealousy on the part of Queen Catherine, particularly when Henry entrusted Diane with the Crown Jewels of France and gave her the Château de Chenonceau, a piece of royal property that Catherine had wanted for herself. However, as long as the King lived, the Queen was powerless to change that.
Construction projects
Most of the sources in Diane's hand are accounts, demonstrating her meticulous attention to finances. She profited from the confiscation of Anne de Pisseleu's estates and managed the lands well, to the point where she became the beneficiary of 300,000 écus. One of the most successful royal mistresses in acquiring wealth, Diane used her income to build castles by commissioning architect Philibert de l'Orme. Making strikingly effective use of Renaissance arts and rhetoric, she constructed an image of herself as a paragon of virtue and presented the image of Henry II as a model of chivalry.
Diane supervised the remodeling of Château d'Anet, her late husband's feudal castle of stone. It has a porch with widely spaced paired ionic columns between towers crowned by pyramidal spires. The château is noted for its exterior, notably the Fountain of Diana, in which the mistress represented the goddess reclining with her two dogs and stag. There is the mortuary chapel built according to Diane's wishes to contain her tomb, commissioned from architect Claude de Foucques by her daughter Louise, Duchess of Aumale.
Although its ownership remained with the crown until 1555, Diane was the unquestioned mistress of Château de Chenonceau, the jewel of the Loire Renaissance palaces. In 1555, she asked de l'Orme to build the arched bridge joining the château to its opposite bank and oversaw the planting of extensive gardens filled with varieties of fruit trees. Set along the banks of the river, her exquisite gardens were famous and copied.
Later years
Despite wielding such power over the court, Diane's status depended on the King's welfare and remaining in power. In 1559, Henry was critically wounded in a jousting tournament, when his lance wore her favour (ribbon), rather than his wife's. Queen Catherine soon assumed control, restricting access to the royal chambers. Although Henry was alleged to have called out repeatedly for Diane, she wasn't admitted to his deathbed nor invited to his funeral (the latter as was custom and tradition). She was immediately obliged to give to the Queen Mother the Château de Chenonceau in exchange for the less attractive Château de Chaumont, a punishment much less severe than the ones suffered by other royal mistresses.
Diane lived out her remaining years in her château in Anet, Eure-et-Loir, where she lived in comfortable obscurity as a virtual exile. At the age of 64, she suffered a fall during a ride from which she never fully recovered and died a year later. In accordance with Diane's wishes and to provide a resting place for her, her daughter completed the funeral chapel, built near the castle. During the French Revolution, her tomb was opened, her corpse desecrated, and her remains thrown into a mass grave. In 1866, Georges Guiffrey published her correspondence. When French experts dug up her remains in 2009, they found high levels of gold in her hair. It is suggested that the "drinkable gold" that she "reportedly" regularly took, believed to preserve youth, may have ultimately killed her. In May 2010, she was reburied at her original tomb in the Château d'Anet.

Personal life
Keen has one daughter, actress Melissa Greenwood, from her marriage with actor Paul Greenwood (whom she married in 1969), star of the 1970s comedy series, Rosie. The marriage ended in divorce in 1979, and a subsequent marriage to producer Neil Zeiger whom she married in 1981 also ended in divorce in 1993. She is the grandmother of Siena Pugsley who plays her on screen granddaughter Chloe in Doctors.
Career
Keen was a regular on TV during the 1970s and early 1980s, starring in sitcoms such as The Cuckoo Waltz, Rings on Their Fingers, Shillingbury Tales, Foxy Lady and You Must Be The Husband, and in two runs of a Thames Television children's historical costume drama The Feathered Serpent. She also appeared on The Morecambe and Wise Show and starred as Laura Dickens in the critically acclaimed spy drama The Sandbaggers. She also starred as Empress Elisabeth of Austria in Fall of Eagles and appeared in the spin-off film of the 1970s detective drama, The Sweeney.
In her early career she appeared full frontal nude in the 1973 British sex comedy, The Sex Thief.
She played Hilda in The Professionals series 1 episode Killer With a Long Arm, in 1978.
In 1980 she appeared as Christina, a widowed restaurant owner, in Series 1 episode The Dessert Song of Minder.
After spending much of the 1980s off screen, apart from a long-running series of advertisements for Nescafé coffee and an appearance in an episode of Taggart, in the next decade she became a regular in the Inspector Wexford series, playing the wife of Wexford's D.I. Roles in Brookside and A Touch of Frost followed.
British Soaps
Keen has had her main soap role in BBC Birmingham's daytime soap opera Doctors, playing Mill Health Centre practice manager Julia Parsons since 2003. She also played waitress Sandra Gould in "Crossroads" during 1970-71, and the receptionist at the Feathers Hotel Connelton in Emmerdale in 1972.

THIS IS THE ONLY AND LAST ITEM IN STOCK
All our press photos are LIMITED ARCHIVE ORIGINALS - they are the actual prints that were used by the newspapers, they are not reprints or digital prints produced by us. All the prints are at least 30 years old and up to 100 years old.
OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY
What you will buy from us has a true historical value and authenticity. These items are true artifacts and collectibles, a real unique piece of history. All these old photos have a story to tell and come from reliable sources. We get our prints directly from the press archives where they have been stored for up to a hundred years. These prints have never been accessible to the public before.
EACH PRINT IS UNIQUE AND HISTORIC
SEE the BACKSIDE OF the PHOTO - many times the image for sale will present stamps, dates, and other publication details - these marks attest to and increase the value of the press photos. Since the photos are old press photographs they may have scratches, lines, or other wears of time, which just underlines the authenticity and age of the photos. In the past, the photos were often parts of a series or were mass-produced by the archives. Nowadays, their number is decimated - many were destroyed by time, use, or natural disasters. Few were preserved and are nowadays carefully stored in our archives.
INVEST AND COLLECT
Press photos have been available to the public for just a few years, and similar to baseball cards, they have attracted investors and collectors. The value of original Press Photos prints has been steadily increasing in value and is expected to to continue doing so.
HELP US PRESERVE HISTORY
The IMS vintage photos project is unique in Europe. We help preserve and digitize old press archives, by allowing the public to buy the original prints for the first time. A unique chance to own a real piece of history. When you buy from us you help support the project or digitize and save these photos that might otherwise be lost forever.
IMPORTANT! WHEN BUYING PHOTOS FROM US:
All the original vintage images are sold without watermarks. The prints are all over 30 years old and have been in the storage of the newspapers for decades. We sell them in the same conditions they were given to us by the archives.

The marriage ended in divorce in 1979, and a subsequent marriage to producer Neil Zeiger whom she married in 1981 also ended in divorce in 1993. She is the grandmother of Siena Pugsley who plays her on screen granddaughter Chloe in Doctors.
Career
Keen was a regular on TV during the 1970s and early 1980s, starring in sitcoms such as The Cuckoo Waltz, Rings on Their Fingers, Shillingbury Tales, Foxy Lady and You Must Be The Husband, and in two runs of a Thames Television children's historical costume drama The Feathered Serpent. She also appeared on The Morecambe and Wise Show and starred as Laura Dickens in the critically acclaimed spy drama The Sandbaggers. She also starred as Empress Elisabeth of Austria in Fall of Eagles and appeared in the spin-off film of the 1970s detective drama, The Sweeney.
In her early career she appeared full frontal nude in the 1973 British sex comedy, The Sex Thief.
She played Hilda in The Professionals series 1 episode Killer With a Long Arm, in 1978.
In 1980 she appeared as Christina, a widowed restaurant owner, in Series 1 episode The Dessert Song of Minder.
After spending much of the 1980s off screen, apart from a long-running series of advertisements for Nescafé coffee and an appearance in an episode of Taggart, in the next decade she became a regular in the Inspector Wexford series, playing the wife of Wexford's D.I. Roles in Brookside and A Touch of Frost followed.

Jeannette Allard
Burlington
Our dear mother Jeannette Allard sadly passed away on August 8, 2022, at the age of 87. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her. Her kind and loving spirit will be missed. She was born in Berkshire Vermont in 1934, to Emile Philippon and Stella Jette. She spent her youth growing up on a dairy farm near Richford Vermont and had many wonderful stories to tell of those times. She moved to Burlington in 1954. Over the years, she had many friends and was a well-loved member of the community in Burlington Vermont. Everyone that met her thought she was a sweet lady. She was predeceased by her husband, Phillip Allard who died in 1992 and granddaughter, Heather Allard. She is survived by her daughter, Deborah and Robert Daly of Shaftsbury Vermont, and sons Brian and Kristin Allard of Colchester Vermont, Bruce and Marilyn Allard and Gary Allard of Burlington Vermont, Brothers Norman and Lucia Philippon of Los Angeles, California., Albert and Nancy Philippon of Bellevue Nebraska, Robert and Suzanne Philippon of Pisgah North Carolina, Leonard Philippon of Swanton Vermont. She has ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren, three of which live in Kodiak Alaska, all of whom she loved dearly.
During her lifetime she enjoyed camping at Lake Carmi. She took great pride in her yard and gardens and spent many hours there. Some of her favorite hobbies over the years were, country line dancing, crafting, going to garage sales and playing cards with family. She spent many years as a volunteer at the Champlain Valley Fair, which she loved, ushering at concerts, and where she sold her crafts and helped out wherever she could. During her working years, she worked as a secretary at General Electric and later as a cashier for both Price Chopper and PC grocery chains. Her great joy was spending holidays with family, especially Christmas where she enjoyed decorating her home. She will be dearly missed by her family.

Roger Ballard
After joining this world on May 7, 1955, our father, Roger, passed away on June 8, 2022 after an illness. Roger was a troubled man, for sure. But if you got to know him when he was in a good spot, he was the person you'd want to be around. He'd give his shirt off his back for you and tell you the best jokes. His sense of humor was one of a kind. He was in the army until an injury abruptly ended his career. That injury set him up for the rest of his life and the choices he'd made.
He leaves behind his two daughters, Crystal Goodman (and her spouse Tim), Jennifer McSweeney (and her spouse Lloyd) and his son Eric. Roger has five beautiful grandchildren that he would be proud of today.
Due to his strained relationships with his children, we'd like to thank the staff and residents at Queen City Rehab for being there with him.
As his children, we wish we got to see the Roger you all saw toward the end.
Dad, you're finally at peace, with the rest of your family, and that's what matters to us.

our of obituaries Kevin Christopher Deeb
Kevin Christopher Deeb, 53, of 256 Northgate Road, Burlington Vermont passed away at home after a long fierce battle with Pulmonary Hypertension on April 4, 2021. Kevin was a loving husband, of 30 years, to Valerie Leavitt-Deeb and a proud father to Richard Philip Deeb.
Kevin was born to Phillip J Deeb and Mary Jane (Verville) Deeb on September 22, 1967 at Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls, New York.
Kevin was raised in Glens Falls, New York and graduated Glens Falls High school where he played football and baseball. Kevin continued his education studying business at Manatee Community College in Bradenton, Florida after the family moved in 1988.
In 1990, Kevin moved to Burlington, Vermont where he remained throughout his adult life. Kevin was a very hard worker holding down at least 2 jobs most of his life. Primarily, Kevin worked at IBM as a wafer test technician and at UPS as a loader. He often augmented this busy schedule with other jobs like Domino’s delivery and Elderwood Care Center.
Kevin’s true passion was people. Kevin was very sociable and well liked with a personality as bright as his red hair. Wherever he was, he easily met people and welcomed them into his life with a laugh and sarcastic humor. Co-workers enjoyed his company as he set a rapid pace with a laugh and lots of humor. You could always determine Kevin’s presence due to laugh or others laughing around him and usually made jokes at his own expense. Kevin always knew someone everywhere he went no matter if it was the doctors or the people emptying the trash bins, he welcomed everyone equally. Kevin would talk sports all day long if he could as he was a fan of Boston Sports and Nascar. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him and all the kids flocked to his door. During snowstorms he would be out snow blowing everyone’s sidewalk and parking space complaining and loving it at the same time. He would sit on the porch watching the planes fly over on Flight tracker with his binoculars and then tell you all about the flights including stories about why people may be traveling. His favorite was seeing the Green Mountain Boys in their new aircraft. He loved staring into the woods behind the house watching all of the deer’ roam by during the night and hoping at some point he would get a picture of Sasquatch.
The last few years Kevin volunteered as a sitter at Elderwood Care Center until they finally brough him on because staff and residents all looked forward to his presence. He loved interacting with the people, even though most did not realize he was struggling with a disease worse than most of the residents. He enjoyed talking football, hockey and NASCAR.
Kevin’s life was never about him; he wanted the focus on everyone else, never wanting to let on to anyone his personal struggles. Kevin would move heaven and earth for those he loved, trying to be present for every occasion, ball game or whatever was going on.
Kevin was a unicorn in many rights, battling Pulmonary Hypertension for over 20 years, mentoring, and advocating for others who were diagnosed, teaching new physicians and nurses about the disease at University of Vermont school of medicine, and was a trial patient for almost every medicine that is being used for PAH patients today. Demonstrating once again that he gave of himself for others.
Kevin was predeceased by Renee Marie Deeb his sister.
Kevin is survived by his wife Valerie Leavitt-Deeb, His son Richard Phillip Deeb who inherited the same generous spirit and love of laughter as his father, his parents, Phillip and Mary Jane Deeb of Bradenton, Florida, his sister Denee Anne Aldana of Bradenton, Florida and brother Jean-Paul Deeb of Tampa, Florida, the Leavitt and Poratti family’s as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews from the Deeb, Leavitt, Poratti and Aldana families.
Arrangements are in care of Elmwood-Meunier Funeral and Crematorium. In lieu of flowers please feel free to donate to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. https://phassociation.org/ or contact the Deeb family.

Henry C. Burawa Jr.
7/13/1965-1/9/2021
Henry Burawa was born in Astoria (Queens), NY, to Susan Majores and Henry Burawa Sr. He was raised in the city by his father, grandmother and foster parents. At the age of 8, Henry and his two younger sisters moved with their father first to Utica, NY and eventually to Vermont when he was 13. Henry lived on Alfred Street in Burlington and then at the Allenbrook Group Home. He graduated from South Burlington High School and went on to attend Job Corps in Vergennes and Southern Vermont and Bennington Colleges.
Henry’s career path as a printer at Lane Press was cut short when, at 23, he was severely injured by a drunk driver in a car accident. After spending months recovering in the hospital relearning to walk and talk, Henry went on to work several jobs including cook at Sneakers, St. Joe’s and UVM, inventory stock manager at SAS Auto, janitor at Rice High School, and crossing guard in Burlington.
Henry was proud of his Jewish heritage. He considered himself a “City Boy” and often said “I’m going to fight to be an individual”. Henry earned a black belt at Shover’s dojo, and fondly recalled being told “This little guy has a lot of Bruce Lee in him”. Henry had a unique style with his signature long hair mullet, leather pants and vest, silver jewelry, bolo tie, and perfectly shined boots. He dreamed of opening his own vintage clothing shop called “Cool Clothes for Rockers and Bluesers”.
Henry felt music in his heart and soul, particularly the blues. He loved to share his voice and guitar with friends. Among Henry’s favorite artists were Paul McCartney, the Beatles, Joe Bonamoso, Etta James, Dan Hicks, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Susan Tedeschi, Wynton Marsalis, Billie Holiday, Seals and Crofts, Grace Potter, and Journey.
Henry frequently said “My friends are my family”. And indeed Henry cherished many best friendships: Kristina Olsen - the Pooh (he was by her side through thick and thin - her bodyguard) and her boyfriend Nick Courville, Marty Connors (who he met at Bennington College and with whom he made music over the years), Rod Billings (his longest friend), Donald Goggins (a close friend since job corps), Stanley Carlson (whose company he frequently enjoyed), Maryanne Billings Charbonneau (“best mom ever”), Barry Emmons (whose woodworking skills he admired), Amanda Clark (with whom he shared fun times), and Christine Connors (who he also loved).
On holidays, Henry cooked elaborate meals to share with his friends as well as those he saw in need. He was a loyal person, always there to pick up friends when they fell. Henry had a generous and giving heart - he enjoyed visiting local thrift stores and would often thoughtfully choose unique gifts for those he loved.
Henry was predeceased by his father, grandmother, sister Nicole and godmother Elizabeth Edgar. He leaves behind his younger sisters Laura and Dawn. He is now surrounded by the many animals that he loved: Bubba, Miss Kitty, Bear Poohs, Rod’s dog Tasha, and sweet Claudia who left this world with him.
Henry wished to be an inspiration to never give up. “You put me in a corner and I’m gonna come out swinging” - “If I can do it, anyone can, I was a wreck”. Help carry on Henry’s legacy. Be loyal to those you love and kind to those in need.
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life
bringing peace, abolishing strife.

Amanda Louise Dion
Amanda Louise Dion
Burlington- -5/27/1992-10-21-2020
Beloved daughter of Martin J. Dion and Sandra Remick, adoring mother of Amelia Louise Dion, laid down her sword and burdens. She has donned radiant wings and her soul is resting in the arms of Papa Butch and Gramma Arlene. All her departed loved ones are reveling in the glorious Heavenly Kingdom.
Amanda was a fierce defender of children, animals and underdogs. A deep thinker, compassionate, an empath and a visionary. She revered the natural beauty of the Earth and had a personal relationship with her higher power.
Amanda was proud of her Irish heritage and mastery of step dancing. She excelled as a dancer, gymnast, cheerleader, enjoyed all genres of music and absorbed every detail of dance performances, a true artist of many media.
Amanda earned a certificate from Barbizon USA, she worked at Hollister and nurtured her penchant for fashion and a talent for makeup artistry. A lady to her core.
Amanda graduated from Winooski High School. She completed courses at St. Joseph’s College where she was on the Dean’s list and earned credits from CCV. She spent countless hours in research. Her goal was to participate in awareness and advance treatment for childhood cancer. She was a regular donor to St. Jude’s. Amanda meticulously maintained her lovely hair and her wish, which will be fulfilled, was to donate it to wigs for children recovering from cancer.
One of her early happy places was at the stables. She was overjoyed when her dad gifted her with her horse, Remington. But her greatest profound delight was to be with her precious baby girl. Amelia was her world.
Others left to treasure her memories are her grandmother, Barb Dion, her papa, Lyle Remick, the Dion, Remick, Miller, Corley, Martin/Bailey, Tarlton, Clark and Freeman families. She leaves behind her kitties, Alice and Lucas, many friends and especially dearest Randy Zeno Family, Templin, and Daemon.
We will miss her hauntingly deep blue Irish eyes and smile, her sweet voice “thank you Mumma, thanks Dad”. Our brave Honey Girl, Bunum, Sweet Pea. May you now be at peace.
Please remember her at your Holiday meals and gatherings, which she loved. Turkey or chicken breast, mashed potatoes and frozen peas. Consider a donation in her name to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital at http://stjude.org. or mail to 501 St Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105-1942 or C/O Randy Zeno, 199 Woodbury Rd., Burlington, VT. 05408, to aid in the funding of a service dog for Amanda’s daughter, Amelia.

Rene Grimard
Burlington- -
On Sunday, July 19, 2020, Heaven gained a new woodworker. Any printing or backyard mechanic needs can now be taken care of in the afterlife. If paradise is searching for a new Cub Scout Leader or just all around awesome father, Rene O. Grimard is now there.
Rene is survived by his wife of 58 years, Lois. Countless summers were spent on their Goldwing, going to the coast of Maine to eat lobster or
just a morning ride to the P&H truck stop in NH, for, what he thought, was the best breakfast ever. He always said the best food is served where the truckers ate.
Rene was born on May 17, 1937 in Rock Island, Que., Canada, the son of Alphonse and Aurore. Rene had one brother, Marcel (Pam) and his late sisters: Lucille and Anna (LaCount).
He was a loving father of Michael (Hi), Joanne (Richard) Cavallari, Joseph (Judy), Paul (Maria) and Peter (Maryland). It did not matter what time of the day it was if you needed his help, Dad was there. He would show up at your house, with his personal tool belt preferred, to help with any project. No matter how long it took, he was there every day! If you drove off the rode into a ditch at midnight, he would be there to help tow you out. There was an incident one time, he drove up to the Canadian Border in the middle of the night because something was forgotton by one of his traveling kids, and all it cost was a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. When it came to his family, there was nothing he would not do. There was no time of day that he would not answer the phone.
He was a proud Grandfather of twelve grandchildren and even two great grandchildren. An uncounted number of hours were spent babysitting his grandchildren. He never refused a baby-sitting chance. If you could not make it to him, he had no problem traveling to you. “Boca”, his nickname, had no problem getting down onto the floor and playing face to face with his grandkids. There was no problem that he could not fix with a tootsie roll or a stop to the Rite Aid toy aisle.
Rene was and avid member of the community. He was always willing to go above and beyond to help anyone in need. He was a member of the Vermont National Guard in his early years. This continued into a position on the Burlington Police Force. He would often tell stories of patrolling North Street in Burlington in the early hours of the morning before shops were opened. After that, he would work as a Journeyman Pressman for the Offset House Publishing Company, which he would retire in 1999. Post retirement, Rene put in hours as a guide and bus driver at the Shelburne Museum. His wife and children were not his only family, Rene took great pride in helping raise hundreds of kids in the Burlington community. For over two and a half decades, Rene was involved in Burlington Cub’s Scout Pack 15, where he was a Cub Master. Rene was more than just a father to his children, he also shared his time and gifts with the other children in the community. He trained young boys on how to grow up to be responsible adults, just like he was raising his children. Hiking, camping, knot tying, canoeing, being an active and positive member of the community, whatever he could do to help the young scouts grow into responsible adults, he would do. For this the Boy Scouting Association awarded him many accommodations,: the Bronze Pelican, the Silver Beaver and the St. George award were just a few of the many awards that hung on his walls at his home. Many Sundays were started by loading up the family station wagon, grabbing an assortment of 8-track country music tapes and driving to visit all the aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins…too many to name. To Rene, his family was his life.
In lieu of flowers, Rene would like you to donate to the United Service Organization (USO), being in the military himself, he had children and grandchildren who served or are serving his country. He always had a special place in his heart for those who chose to go above and beyond.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, July 25, 2020 in St. Joseph Cathedral with interment following in New Mount Calvary Cemetery. Arrangements by Elmwood-Meunier.

Diane Rehm
|
https://dianerehm.org/about
|
Diane Rehm is a native Washingtonian who began her radio career in 1973 as a volunteer for WAMU 88.5, the NPR member station in Washington, D.C. She was hired as an assistant producer and later became the host and producer of two health-oriented programs.
In 1979, she began hosting WAMU’s local morning talk show, Kaleidoscope, which was renamed The Diane Rehm Show in 1984. The Diane Rehm Show grew from a local program to one with international reach and a weekly on-air audience of nearly 3 million.
In 2016, Diane brought her unique mix of curiosity, honesty, intimacy and four decades of hosting experience to the podcast world with On My Mind. On her weekly interview program, Diane talks to newsmakers, writers, artists and thinkers on the biggest issues of the day, with a focus on cutting through the noise in Washington to reveal the issues beneath the politics. New episodes are posted on Thursday afternoons.
In 2020, during the heart of the pandemic, Diane launched a new project to help engage an audience stuck at home. The Diane Rehm Book Club meets monthly on Zoom and features panel discussions and author interviews. Guests include Ann Patchett, Isabel Wilkerson, Anthony Doerr and Isabel Allende.
You can also listen to archived interviews from The Diane Rehm Show here: https://dianerehm.org/shows. Topics range from the U.S. economy and foreign affairs to literature, science and the arts. Many of the nation’s prominent newsmakers, journalists, and authors have appeared on her program, including then-Sen. Barack Obama, former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, former Vice President Dick Cheney, former secretaries of State Colin Powell and Hillary Clinton, retired Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison.
In 2014, President Barack Obama presented Rehm with the National Humanities Medal. “In probing interviews with everyone from pundits to poets to Presidents, Ms. Rehm’s keen insights and boundless curiosity have deepened our understanding of our culture and ourselves,” the White House said.
Newsweek magazine named The Diane Rehm Show one of the most interesting talk shows in the country. National Journal says Rehm is “the class act of the talk radio world.” In fall 2013, the program was identified as one of the most powerful programs in public radio based on its ability to draw listeners to public radio stations.
In 2010, Diane Rehm won a Personal Peabody Award, considered among the most prestigious and selective prizes in electronic media, for her more than 30 years in public broadcasting. Rehm has been also named “Washingtonian of the Year,” and one of the “150 Most Influential People in Washington” by Washingtonian magazine. She’s been included several times on the magazine’s list of the “100 Most Powerful Women,” most recently in 2013. The daughter of Arab immigrants who settled in Washington in the early 20th century, Rehm was selected as Arab American of the Year by ACCESS in 2013 in celebration of her rich heritage.
Rehm has received many other honors and awards in her three-decade career, including: the inaugural Urbino (Italy) Press Award; the International Matrix Award from the Association for Women in Communications; and named a Fellow by the Society of Professional Journalists, the highest honor the society bestows on a journalist, for extraordinary contributions to the profession. In 2011, she received the Excellence in Journalism Award from the American News Women’s Club and in 2007 she received an honorary degree of A Doctor of Humane Letters by American University.
In 1998, Rehm’s career nearly ended because of spasmodic dysphonia, a neurological voice disorder that causes strained, difficult speech. Rehm sought treatment, returned to the show, and called attention to the condition. The National Council on Communicative Disorders recognized her work with a Communication Award, and ABC’s Nightline devoted an entire program to a conversation with Rehm about her disorder. In 2011, Rehm was awarded the Voice Education Research Awareness (VERA) Award from The Voice Foundation for her sustained contributions to the field of voice communication.
Rehm is the author of five best-selling books: “Finding My Voice” (Knopf, 1999), in which she describes her childhood, marriage, career and voice disorder; “Toward Commitment: A Dialogue about Marriage” (Knopf, 2002), a deeply personal book co-authored with her husband, John; “Life with Maxie” (Gibbs Smith, 2010), a lighthearted story about her dog; and her most recent book, “On My Own” (Knopf, 2016), a moving story about the death of her husband of over 54 years and her struggle to reconstruct her life without him.
In 2017, Diane began working on a documentary, titled “When My Time Comes.” She traveled around the country with a film crew led by director Joe Fab, interviewing people with different perspectives on death with dignity. Diane did both the narration and the interviewing for the film. During the filming she began writing a companion book of the same title, using material from the film, which was released by Knopf in February 2020.
The documentary was distributed to public television stations nationally by WETA -TV in Washington D.C., as well as by Amazon Prime. The subject of the individual’s right to make the personal choice to die if death is near continues to be a subject about which Diane speaks to listeners and viewers all over the country.
Rehm’s loyal connection to WAMU 88.5 and American University was recognized in 2007 when she was invited to receive an honorary doctorate and deliver the College of Arts and Sciences commencement speech. “I feel fortunate to have spent so many years in public broadcasting under the aegis of this fine University,” she told the graduates. “Our goals have been one and the same: to expand horizons, and to promote a deeper understanding of the world around us.” She has also been awarded honorary doctorates from Virginia Theological Seminary, Washington College, McDaniel College, and Shepherd University.
Rehm is a director emerita of the PEN/Faulkner Foundation and a trustee emerita of McDaniel College in Westminster, Md.
Diane Rehm lives in Washington D.C. She was married to her beloved late husband, John Rehm, for 54 years. In 2017, she married John Hagedorn, a retired Lutheran Minister. She has two children and two grandchildren.

On March 4, 1809, at Washington’s first inaugural ball, one keen local observer recorded that the new first lady, Dolley Payne Todd Madison, who arrived draped in a low-cut, buff velvet gown with a long train, “answered all my ideas of royalty.”1 And in truth she did have a uniquely American interpretation of regality that would keep her center stage for the eight stormy years of her husband James Madison’s presidency.
More than anyone else, Dolley Madison shaped the social life of a fledgling capital city eager to create appropriate procedures and rituals to define the highest level of conduct in its grand but still risky experiment in republican government.2 Some elements of her costume—the fashionable, classically inspired silhouette of her gown, its off-white color, the lush velvet material, and the long train—were borrowed from the courts of Europe. But her crown was a turban festooned with bird of paradise feathers, and the royal jewels were a simple set of pearls.3 As one admirer concluded, “Her demeanor is so far removed from the hauteur generally attendant on royalty, that your fancy can carry the resemblance no further than the headdress.”4 Given the highly charged political atmosphere in the city, Mrs. Madison had detractors, but the majority liked the first lady too much to complain about the length of her trains.
Dolley Madison earned lasting fame for her courage during the War of 1812, when she remained in the White House long enough to preserve the cabinet papers and to save the life-size portrait of George Washington from the mockery of the advancing British soldiers.5 Her respect for the portrait as a patriotic symbol showed a keen sensitivity toward Americans longing for emblems that would identify their nation and bind them as a people to it. Ladies of her era were expected to avoid the public face of politics, but even Dolley Madison’s primarily social role placed her in a position to bypass the rule. During the presidential campaigns of 1808 and 1812 she bravely faced the political opposition’s vicious attacks on her husband’s character with unflappable grace and dignity. “By her deportment in her own house,” wrote one contemporary, “you cannot discover who is her husband’s friends or foes.”6
Dolley Madison never traveled to Europe to learn the stiff formality of diplomacy in royal courts. She was home-grown, home-schooled, and down-to-earth, and she refined her public persona in the parlors of the new capital city that was to give her fame. James Madison and his consort, opposites in appearance, became Washington’s most powerful couple. Determined to advance Madison’s career, Dolley Madison used the years as wife of the secretary of state (1801–9) to master the right balance between high style and simplicity, appropriate displays of rank, and warm personal accessibility. One admirer, Congressman Henry Clay, is supposed to have said, “Everybody loves Mrs. Madison,” and her reply, “That’s because Mrs. Madison loves everybody.”7
The intellectual James Madison looked younger than he was; small and thin, he was somewhat stiff in crowds, but glowed in small gatherings where he could relax and display his considerable wit. Dolley Madison loved the crowd, never forgot a face or a name, delighted in matchmaking, and readily disarmed critics who were determined to dislike her. One female observer sniffed, “She loads herself with finery and dresses without any taste.” But once in Dolley Madison’s company, the appraisal softened: “Her face expresses nothing but good nature. It is impossible to be with her . . . and not be pleased.”8
The federal capital in 1809 needed some pomp and ritual to illustrate its role as seat of the nation. As president, Thomas Jefferson believed weekly White House “levees” were too Old World aristocratic, and, dismissing the practices of his two predecessors, he opened the White House to the public only on the Fourth of July and New Year’s Day, as well as daily for tours. Inside the mansion, the widower Jefferson preferred small and intimate stag dinners—alternating between Federalists and Republicans—where he carefully controlled the conversation. Jefferson’s studied informality backfired in 1803, when he offended arriving British Minister Sir Anthony Merry by receiving his credentials wearing casual dress with his slippers “down at the heels.” Soon thereafter, he snubbed the arrogant Mrs. Merry at a White House dinner. The diplomatic snafu did not help the United States in its efforts to trade as a neutral country in the ongoing war between Britain and France.9
Congressmen in a half-built Washington were tired of living in boardinghouses and taking their meals in a common “mess,” with few spouses in residence. Foreign ministers accustomed to conducting political business in social settings sought in vain for outlets to perform their duties. Many early visitors to Washington condemned its desolate appearance and lack of amenities. Such criticism rankled lawmakers and officials alike.
Dolley Madison never traveled to Europe to learn the stiff formality of diplomacy in royal courts. She was home-grown, home-schooled, and down-to-earth, and she refined her public persona in the parlors of the new capital city that was to give her fame.
The Madisons had learned that Washington was a company town with politics its only industry. The high turnover in congressional representatives worked against residential continuity among the electorate. As the ranking wife in the Jefferson cabinet, Dolley Madison cultivated wealthy permanent residents—the Tayloes, Maria Van Zandt, Sir Thomas Law, and the William Thorntons—to build a stable foundation for a new official “social” order. Masterfully, she drew the local gentry into the White House and thus into the vortex of politics, the meat and potatoes of daily life in Washington. Madison’s superb wine cellar was a distinct asset, and his wife was a gracious hostess who diligently returned all social calls, an exhausting practice that she continued as first lady. Mrs. Madison had “dove parties” for the women and quietly built a petticoat army to support her social efforts. She would need them to help convince Congress to remain in Washington after the British burned the public buildings in 1814.10
President Madison immediately put his wife in charge of the White House and its entertainments. The first lady reestablished weekly receptions—renamed “drawing rooms” instead of the aristocratic terms “levee” or “salon.” She extended the social season during the congressional session from six weeks to ten. A proper introduction ensured a warm welcome. The Madisons’ held frequent dinners—large affairs seating thirty or more people—where they mixed political parties, members of government departments with diplomats, and a few interesting local visitors for spice.
Mrs. Madison sought out assistants to help with her duties. Management of the domestic structure of the house she placed in the hands of Jean-Pierre Sioussat, an experienced steward from France. He managed the servants, some of whom were African American, such as John Freeman, the butler, and the slaves brought from Montpelier, the Madison farm in Virginia, including Sukey, Dolley Madison’s maid, and Paul Jennings, the president’s youthful valet (“body servant”). There appear to have been some twelve or fourteen servants in all, under Sioussat’s management.
On quite a different level, Dolley Madison needed the services of someone to design and supervise decoration of the home. The house Jefferson left was fully furnished but apparently not up to her stylish standards. She turned to the talented British-born architect B. Henry Latrobe, and they spent all of a government housing allowance decorating three rooms in the White House, which became the main areas for entertaining. The interiors showed classical inspiration, with the central oval room (today’s Blue Room) outfitted with American-made klismos chairs of Greek inspiration and benches suitably painted with the Great Seal of the United States. Bright color and light suffused the rooms. Mrs. Madison’s parlor was boldly yellow. Red silk velvet curtains and chair cushions in the oval room, lighted by gilt bronze Argand oil lamps reflected in large looking glasses, created a dazzling stage set for the Madisons’ new, stylish entertaining.11 The first lady added brackets in the shape of eagles as a patriotic touch. It is telling that she also saved the red curtains and the eagles from the flames in 1814.12
Mrs. Madison’s first drawing room was held on May 21, 1809. Not until New Year’s Day was the redecorated oval room ready for use. The President’s House quickly became the centerpiece for social life in the capital. In 1811 visiting author Washington Irving was nearly blinded when he “emerged from dirt and darkness into the blazing splendor of Mrs. Madison’s drawingroom.”13Latrobe and Dolley Madison had worked hard to achieve precisely this effect, not to satisfy personal taste but as a background for the presidency.
Dolley Madison circulated at her parties, leaving the president, dressed in formal small clothes, to discuss politics in a corner. She glided smoothly from guest to guest, providing introductions, remembering even the most distant kinships, and making everyone feel at home in the people’s house. Tall and plump with excellent posture, the first lady had a commanding presence. To enhance her looks in lamplight, she rouged, a risky practice when applied color was associated with less refined women. The formal wardrobe trappings borrowed from European court traditions were offset every time she took snuff, openly blowing her nose on a common bandanna “for the rough work,” before using a linen handkerchief as her “polisher.”14 She invited pretty young belles for the season to play her piano and guitar and entertain bachelor government officials. She even organized the first White House wedding, when her widowed sister Lucy Payne Washington wed Supreme Court Justice Thomas Todd in March 1812.15
Congressional politics could be very confrontational at the time, so Mrs. Madison used her elegant costumes to encourage a decorous tone during public activities in the White House. The first lady’s love of fashion was undoubtedly a reaction to Quaker restrictions against fancy dress and bright colors that she respectfully followed before her 1794 marriage to Madison. She was banned from the Society of Friends.16 The devoted president decided to invest a part of his $25,000 salary in her wardrobe. He would need the money, because Dolley Madison happily enlisted her family, friends, and foreign envoys in search of dresses and accessories in the then-fashionable Empire style of Napoleon’s France.17
Descriptions of the first lady’s ensembles at important functions abound, but few documentary details about what she actually purchased have survived. Dolley Madison sent a large order to Paris in 1811, and in November wrote to Ruth Barlow, then en route to the French capital, “As you have everything that is beautiful; & we have nothing . . . send me by safe Vessels—Large Headdresses a few flowers, Feathers, gloves & stockings . . . or any other pretty thing, suitable to an Economist & draw on my Husband for the Amt.”18 William Lee, the American chargé at Bordeaux, asked for help with the order. Victoire Delacroix, widow of Charles Delacroix, minister of foreign affairs under the Directory, and her daughter Harriett, wife of diplomat Raymond de Verninac, made sure the costumes were au courant.19
Lee studied French fashion magazines and then set off to “waddle round Paris” assembling her wardrobe.20 Madison must have balked at the $2,000 cost, a staggering sum at that time, and about eight percent of the president’s annual salary. The first lady was left to lament, “I am afraid I shall never ask for anything more.” Dolley Madison was most grateful to Lee but had to set aside the “heads” until she could enlarge them for the next season. The shoes were a size too small; did she wear them anyway?21
Congressional politics could be very confrontational at the time, so Mrs. Madison used her elegant costumes to encourage a decorous tone during public activities in the White House.
The colors of the first lady’s ensembles were sometimes as brilliant as her red velvet drawing room curtains. Ladies’ dresses at the time were high waisted and made of materials designed to drape loosely and sometimes diaphanously on a woman’s form. Skirts were gathered high in the back between the shoulders, creating the effect of trains. Day dresses had sleeves to the elbow or wrist, with the bodice filled in with a lace or gauze kerchief or stock. Proper ladies wore lacy caps, small bonnets, or turbans inside, with larger hats and bonnets for outdoors. The spencer, a short, high-necked jacket, buttoned in front and with long sleeves, might be worn of the same or contrasting material and color. Women often draped a colorful scarf or shawl around their shoulders to add color and offset chills.
One morning in 1815, Dolley Madison received the wife of the secretary of the navy at the White House. The first lady wore a white cambric (cotton or linen) dress with a long row of covered buttons in front and a ruffled hem; the ensemble included “a peachbloom colored silk scarf with a rich border” and a “spencer of satin the same color. A turban of velour gauze, all of peach bloom,” was on her head.22 For winter outings, a lady might cover her dress or gown with a mantle (a cloak) or a pelisse, a long coat fastened in the front. Dolley Madison wore a purple velvet pelisse, capped by a velvet turban trimmed with ermine, to make her social rounds.23
Formal gowns were made of the most expensive fabrics, with short puffy sleeves and low-cut bodices exposing neck and chest. The first lady had gowns made of pink satin trimmed with ermine; white, yellow, and rose satin; “brick” red, black, off-white and sky-blue striped velvet; silk made in the famous French textile center of Lyons; even “muslin embroidered with silver,” which was worn at one reception over a blue, probably silk, underdress.24
Dolley Madison’s turbans were her signature accessory, and she boldly wore them until her death in 1849 at the age of 81. White velvet was the favorite material and color for her turbans, but she frequently added ornaments and trim to coordinate with her dresses and gowns. She had headpieces in red and blue and wore a purple velvet turban to her husband’s inauguration in 1809.25 The search for new head coverings was relentless. For example, in 1813 the first lady wrote to her friend Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte, asking her to look for a “turban, or even anything briliant to make me—such as gause or lace flower’d with Gold or silver.”26 The towering feathers on these “heads” made the first lady easy to locate in crowds. A gentleman at the Madisons’ New Year’s Day reception in 1814 spotted her bobbing plumes immediately and made note that “she was probably the first, & Mr. Madison the last, person who would strike the eye of anyone who should enter the room.”27
Women imitated the first lady’s style. One New England political wife was appalled when she had to pay $9 for only two feathers.28 Most wealthy American women avoided lavish displays of expensive jewelry. Dolley Madison had her pearls, a necklace of “brilliants” made of crystallized paste, and she sometimes wore gold neck chains along with gold earrings, silver and silver gilt bracelets, and a gilded “girdle,” or belt. The former widow had miniature portraits of her two husbands—John Todd and James Madison—each with velvet bands to wear as bracelets, presumably on separate occasions. Mrs. Madison adapted the contemporary European fashion for a parure—a matched set of jewelry consisting of a tiara, a necklace, and a bracelet—with a sapphire coronet and necklace almost certainly made of paste. She is known to have worn a gold coronet in her hair. One set of jewelry sure to elicit conversation was a necklace and earrings of colorful micromosaic glass tiles (tesserae) depicting ancient ruins, including the Colosseum and the Temples of Vesta and Minerva. The sets were often made in Rome and sold as souvenirs of the Grand Tour.29
Dolley Madison probably wore some of the exotic gifts she received. Shrewdly, the New York importer John Jacob Astor sent a silver fox muff in 1811 and, later, a Nankeen silk embroidered shawl from China.30 It is doubtful that Mrs. Madison made an appearance in the “Burnouce” and Turkish slippers presented to her by Tobias Lear in 1805.31 She probably could not resist wearing a spectacular red velvet mantle, lined with emerald green silk brocade and heavily embroidered with gold thread; it was carefully preserved by descendants as a gift to Mrs. Madison from the bey of Algiers. In 1805 the first Tunisian ambassador, Sidi Soliman Mellimelli, came to Washington. At a dinner hosted by the Madisons, Mellimelli, upon learning that their marriage had produced no children, is said to have wrapped Mrs. Madison in his “magical cloak” and performed a chant to produce a male child.32
Many of the first lady’s ensembles were destroyed in the 1814 White House fire, which left her “nearly bereft of furniture & cloaths.”33 A postfire survivor is a handsome open robe worn on New Year’s Day, 1816, when she greeted guests in “yellow satin embroidered all over with springs of butterflies, not two alike in the dress.”34 A red velvet ball gown, made of upholsteryweight material, is owned by the Greensboro Historical Museum in North Carolina. Given Dolley Madison’s penchant for symbolic gestures, there has been speculation that she recycled one of the red velvet curtains she saved from the White House oval room in 1814, but no documentation has yet come to light.35
Everyone knew that the temporary presidential residence contained a makeshift assortment of cheap furniture and secondhand goods, but Dolley Madison was determined to rise above her surroundings.
Mrs. Madison gamely reopened her drawing room in November 1814. Initially residing in the bizarre Octagon mansion, rented from John Tayloe, by the spring in 1815 the president had moved to more orthodox quarters in the Seven Buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue, where he finished out his term. Negative feeling against Madison had reached an all-time high in the wake of the British sacking of the Federal City. After the joyous news of Andrew Jackson’s victory over the British at New Orleans on January 8, 1815, followed by the arrival of the Treaty of Ghent in February, public opinion toward the president became highly positive. “This is D. Room evg—& we have had such throngs, you never saw,”36 Dolley Madison was happy to report in 1816. The treaty ending the War of 1812 maintained the status quo, but the conflict created a unifying national spirit at home and earned the United States respect on the world stage.
British Minister Sir Charles Bagot and his wife, a niece of Lord Wellington, were honored guests of the Madisons at a reception in February 1816. The nation was at peace, and the first lady made sure that no one would greet this envoy wearing slippers “down at the heels.” Guests wore full dress for the occasion. The interiors were decorated and actually illuminated with pitch torches, dimly evoking the “blazing splendor” of the presidential mansion interiors that the British had destroyed. The tall and dignified Dolley Madison welcomed the titled honorees warmly, dressed in a gown of “rose-colored satin [with] a white velvet train, which swept the floor for several yards.” The train was trimmed with lavender velvet edged with gathered lace. Gold jewelry glittered, and she topped off the costume with a “white velvet turban trimmed with white ostrich tips and a gold embroidered crown.”37 Everyone knew that the temporary presidential residence contained a makeshift assortment of cheap furniture and secondhand goods, but Dolley Madison was determined to rise above her surroundings.38 Recognizing a first-rate performance when he saw one, Sir Charles pronounced, “She looked every inch a queen.”39

When Diane Gieda started working for Penn-Mar as a Direct Support Professional, her former husband and employer told her she’d only last two weeks. That was nearly three decades ago.
Except for the two years she spent in Texas, from 2006 to 2008 – she liked the weather Diane has worked at Penn-Mar for a total of 25 years, beginning in 1995. This milestone was recently celebrated during the nonprofit’s annual Service Awards Luncheon held on November 30th, an event that recognizes dedicated team members who have been with Penn-Mar for multiple years.
A York County native who grew up in Shiloh, Diane is currently an Awake Overnight residential assistant at a Penn-Mar residence in Jefferson, Pa., not far from her home in Hanover where she lives with her husband Craig and son Todd.
Although Diane’s held various positions both in Pennsylvania and Maryland over the years including residential supervisor, administrative assistant, and day program team member, to name a few, the Awake Overnight position is one she’s gravitated to most.
“I like working at night. Behind the scenes,” she said. “I’m also able to get more sleep during the day. I’m always well rested for my shift.”
Diane works as an Awake Overnight in the nonprofit’s Respite Program, where she and team members support individuals who live at home with family, but who come to Penn-Mar on a rotating basis a few days at a time. “This gives the family a break and also allows the individuals a chance to get away and have some different experiences,” Diane said.
Her shift usually begins at 11 p.m. and ends at 9 a.m. and may include extended hours to help fill in when needed. Her first priority is to ensure that all the residents are safe and settled. As the position implies, Diane remains awake through the night, completing any paperwork left by the day staff, doing housekeeping, and checking in on the “guests,” as she calls them. All this until it is time to get everyone up and ready for the day ahead. No day is ever the same, she said, particularly when it comes to the guests and their activities, which include attending different Day Programs in the area.
Now after many years, Diane said she’s gotten used to the hours. She’s on four nights a week and generally picks up one to three extra days as well, because of staffing shortages that have impacted providers across the country.
“I do miss working directly with the individuals we support,” she said. “Interaction is minimal right now, because residents are asleep for the most part.”
Before joining Penn-Mar, Diane had varied work experiences including work for a limousine company, a body shop, nursing home, and as a police dispatcher. The last one comes in at a close second to her longtime career at Penn-Mar as the best job she’s ever had.
“My sister-in-law worked at Penn-Mar at the time and referred me. She said I’d like it,” Diane said. “She left a year after I started.”
Outside of work, Diane has many keen interests. She is a voracious reader, who sometimes gets through two or three books a week. She enjoys NASCAR and attending dirt track races with her husband. She is also an avid concert goer with an eclectic taste in music –country and metal being among her favorite genres. Last year, she attended three Korn concerts, saw Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Elton John. “I don’t want to wait to retire to enjoy the experience.”
Her career at Penn-Mar has been a very rewarding one for Diane. “It’s what I do. I take care of people, and it brings me a lot of joy,” she said. “I’m blessed to be able to work for a company that wants the best for the individuals we support and also cares about their employees.”
Diane recalled one gentleman, years ago, who came to Penn-Mar in his 50s. He had lived with his parents up until then. She and her team discovered that except for doctors’ appointments, his parents had never taken him anywhere.
“To see him come to Penn-Mar and blossom and experience getting out into the community for the first time in a meaningful way was tremendous,” Diane said. “It was wonderful to see him grow.”
Her advice to anyone considering a career as a DSP is to know that it sometimes requires a lot of patience, including patience with yourself. “It also takes understanding that the people we support are capable of so much more than you would think. They mostly just want to live the same lives that we do, with the same opportunities to work or travel, or have their dreams come true.”

1 OUT OF AFRICA
Although I’ve lived here for 35 years I was brought up in Kenya, and I’ve spent years fund-raising for orphanages there and in Tanzania.
One orphan was a gifted, self-taught sculptor and when he left the orphanage he made this bust as a thank-you present to me.
The china pig on the little table was a gift from wildlife film-maker Michaela Denis, a friend of my parents, when I was about five.
She called me ‘Little Lion’ and helped me learn Swahili, which I’m fluent in.
2 MINI CAB
I love American vintage cars, and one day I went to an auction and on a whim bought a 1952 yellow cab.
This is a model I had made of it.
The cab needed a bit of TLC but not much, because they’re built like Sherman tanks! I had it for about 15 years and used it to go to Ascot for the racing every year, which was great fun.
I also used it once for a friend’s wedding to take the bride to church.
3 WHAT A STUD
This is a bronze of the racehorse I used to own, Proud And Keen, and the trophy next to it, which has flowers in it, is from a race he won at Goodwood.
I’ve always loved horses, and in Kenya I used to go to school on one.
A friend once took me to the Kentucky Derby in the US, and on a visit to a stable we saw two magnificent racehorses, Proud Appeal and Shiny Sneakers.
A few years later I went to a horse sale where there was a young animal that was the offspring of... Proud Appeal and Shiny Sneakers! I saw it as a sign, and bought him.
I had him for four years and eventually he went out to stud.
He was a wonderful animal.
4 DEAR MUM AND DAD
My real mother Barbara wasn’t married, so I was adopted by her sister Dorothy and her husband Frank – this is them on their wedding day in 1946.
Auntie Barbara died of cancer when I was six so I never knew her, but I adored my parents.
Next to it is a picture of me with my daughter Melissa and granddaughter Siena.
When Siena was six she played my granddaughter in the TV series Doctors – I was practice manager Julia Parsons – which was a joy.
5 FAMILY TREE
I absolutely adored my mum’s other sister, Auntie Muriel.
When I was 16 she came out to Kenya for my birthday.
We all went down to the coast and I had my party on the beach with a roaring bonfire.
We bought fish from the local fishermen and barbecued it.
Muriel gave me this beautiful, fragile ornamental tree with jade flowers, and it’s still one of my most treasured possessions.
A petal came off it recently and I’ve decided that the next time I visit her grave, I’m going to take it and leave it there.
6 ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Three years ago, at the age of 69, I fulfilled a lifelong ambition and climbed Kilimanjaro in Tanzania to support Lion Aid, a charity that protects big cats.
I did the almost 6,000-metre ascent with two broken bones in my foot! A fortnight before I was due to go, I fell awkwardly and it swelled up and turned black.
But after training for a year there was no way I was going to miss the climb.
Despite the pain, it was the most amazing feeling when I got to the top (left), and I felt immensely proud.
As told to Francine White. Diane Keen is a Patron of Lion Aid. To donate or for more information, visit lionaid.org.

The wind gently rippled the face of the American flag while tears blurred my vision. I listened as my four-year-old daughter, Diane, pledged allegiance to America in Geneva, Switzerland, on July 4, 1959. I raised my left arm shielding my eyes from the sun. My tattoo A27331 emblazoned itself once more in my brain as those needling thoughts began again. Questions. Always those questions plowing through my thought’s visions. “How is it possible that I am here?” “Why is it that I was chosen to share this joy and celebration of freedom and life?” “Why not the others?” “Why was I spared?” “Why only me?” Questions I shall never be able to answer; able only to ponder, imprisoned by their guilt laden burden.
As I look at my proud-of-herself, smiling daughter hoisted high above the crowd on her daddy’s shoulders, a layered caravan of images and feelings kaleidoscope, sending me back through doors long closed on painful time. My mind shifts to frame the faces of a large family who lived together as one community at Miodowa 15.
KRAKOW
Easily, I slipped my hand between the well-tailored sleeve and jacket of my father’s dark coat and hung on tightly while he and I walked and skipped across and back over the parquet parlor floor; our feet moving in time to the ·Shabbat tunes he sang so wonderfully well while we waited to turn on the lights after Saturday’s sunset. “Rozinkles mit Mandles,” “My Yiddisha Mama,” and “A Brivele Der Mamen,” names only names, but melodies so poignant as to bring overflowing tears, even now.
Handsome and tall, with dark, wavy hair and moustache, appearing aristocratic, although he had come somewhere from an Orthodox shtetl in the south of Poland, my father, Murray Elbinger, had made a good marriage. Father, his brothers, and their father, having less than an eighth grade education, nevertheless, had ben textile merchants in a country which offered limited upward social and financial mobility.
Above the doorway entrance to our business house in Kracow, the sign read Spira-Rubin-Elbinger, but it wasn’t always so. My mother’s family was of the upper class, and had been in the textile business for over 40 years. Father’s name, Elbinger, was added to the business when he married my mother.
Grandfather Spira, a Cohen, was a loving, charitable, community-minded man who donated his own Torah from which he read in the old, Orthodox synagogue which stood at the end of our long street. Grandfather was a man of depth and warm concern, especially when it came to his daughter, Frania, for whom he had arranged two marriages. Mother’s first marriage was to a man whose main interests were studying Torah and praying; however, he did manage to produce a child, Lilka, who is my half-sister. With this man, life was unbearable, so Mother and Lilka’s father divorced.
My mother as a child, had suffered from typhoid fever. As a result, her life afterwards contained periods of emotional instability which ultimately we all had to live through. Relevant to re-marriage, this condition, plus the stigma of divorce made grandfather’s task quite considerable, but possible, since a business partnership was offered as well as a warm, caring wife.
I do not remember my grandfather. I only know what I have heard, but the figures of my grandmother and Aunt Pitzelle, my grandmother’s sister from Chicago, are clear in my memory.
Grandmother, small and stocky, wore a wig, lived in our house and always kept a bundle of money hidden in her skirts. My recollection of her is visual as I had not physical contact or conversation with her. I recall family conversations regarding her frugality, how she was in the way, and finally how she was bought out of the business. Grandmother died during the time we lived in the ghetto. I visited her there once in a place where they kept all the old and sick and dying people. I remember most of all that no medicine was available for her and there were crawling, incessant flies.
When I was very small, Tanta Pitzelle, my grandmother’s sister, came all the way to Poland from the United States to visit with us. She gave me, and all the others, three zlotys. I truly believed I was rich. Those worn zlotys, a bright, big colorful ball given to me by my mother’s friend for saying the word “dupa,” and a doll for having my teeth pulled are all the tokens from the treasures of my childhood I can summon up.
Hopscotch, a holiday game with hazelnuts, ice skating, dreidels at Chanukah, were games I played and activities I took part in, but all in all, I was not gregarious or athletic.
Out of my heart’s mind, indelible in my senses, my mother’s strong, solacing warmth encompasses me. To me, she was simply beautiful, lovely, full of life and caring. Mother didn’t play children’s games with me, nor do I recall having meaningful conversations with her. The last time I saw her, I was seventeen. I have never forgiven myself when as a teenager, I called her “crazy.” Nor have I let go of the guilt I felt when I could care for her no longer while we were in the ghetto, when they came, and when they took her away. Her pleading cries, begging me to give her the ring I wore, lie lurking beneath the surface of my memory. My father told me not to give the ring to her; I might need it later. A few days after she was gone, we received a letter which simply stated that mother had been sent to another hospital and for us not to inquire. Later, I found out that she had been shot. I have clung to the hope that mother never knew what was happening to her.
Mother spent her leisure time reading German romances. Also, she loved to dance. Even though she was heavy, she was light on her feet, and I loved to watch as she whirled about the dance floor, expertly led by one of the special men called fortanzers, who were hired by the coffee houses to dance with the ladies in the afternoon between coffee and schmoozing. Father did not mind as he did not dance, and he was proud of mother who won trophies for her dancing.
I shopped with mother on Wednesday afternoon for the big, fat carp which blissfully spent the remainder of its days swimming in our bathtub until it was time for cooking and our Shabbat dinner. Sometimes I would go with the maid to market and she would select a chicken which later would be picked and plucked and prepared for our dinner. Smells in the kitchen of challah, the trip to the baker with cholent, melted wax and polished candlesticks imprinted themselves into the fabric of my past.
I would often wonder what mother thought about as I sat looking at her deep, brown, almond-shaped eyes when she lapsed into one of her silent dreamy moments. Once mother had been in love with a German Baron, a gentile, but her father would not allow her to marry outside her faith. It seemed the wistful memory of that love haunted her.
Mama was a dreamer. Mama would also disappear. I was terrified during those times and haunted by her disappearance. No one ever told me why mother had to go away. I would hear her cry, but I never saw her in a state which might frighten me. I was protected from that and any discussion about mother’s condition was taboo. One time when mother was gone, I poked holes in a hot water bottle with a pair of scissors. My father’s answer to my actions was a sound smack.
I was well into my teenage years when I was told about mother’s periods of insanity, her shock treatments, her visits to the neurologists and her confinement in a strait jacket. Although I do not recall mother being violent with me, Lilka suffered from mother’s problems.
I was never alone. From the time I was born until I was two years old, I had a nanny who nursed and took care of me. I, of course, was very attached to her, but mother sent my nanny away because she was jealous of her.
My name was Gisela. Mother called me Greena Jaba. She said it was the nanny’s fault that my complexion turned green because I had been nursed by her.
According to my recollection, Ida was considered papa’s girl while I belonged to mama. Every Saturday, mother, father, Ida and I would dress up and go to the park located in the middle of Krakow. Black bread and butter, along with a glass of cool, rich buttermilk was the treat father would buy for us, and except for whipped cream ·Neapolitan, the most regal lunch I could imagine. Although these were my favorites, I could also be talked into eating sauerkraut and knackwurst. Father’s concerns the other six days of the week had to do with business. Mother was often gone. The maid or sometimes the other children in the family would play games with me. The person I was closest to was Ida, my sister.
Ida–it is hardly bearable to write her name–my raven-haired, dark, liquid-eyed sister. My most intense sense of loss comes from my memory of you. So full of life, you appeared to dance as you walked. You were father’s favorite. You hungered for learning. I remember you reading Shakespeare to me and every time I hear Ravel’s “Bolero” the hearing brings upon me an almost unbearable sadness, because you loved that piece of music so.
You were the one who so gently held me and told me the facts of life when I came running to you, scared to death of the bleeding when I was thirteen. You were the one who stood with me against parental restrictions. You, so intelligent, so clever. I always questioned why I was chosen to live and you to die. For years, I found it impossible to accept your death. You walk in my dreams, away from me on unfamiliar streets. I run forward to touch you. I reach for you. I scream, “Why haven’t I seen you in such a long time?” When I arrive at your side, you slowly turn and look away. The person in my dream is an imposter, not you. My dreams do not tell me that death is forever.
The time we spent together was so brief–because of our difference in age–because I was not verbal, because I was too young (and aren’t we all) to understand what it meant to have and appreciate you.
I do remember when you attended college and began breaking away. I know you resented living in the Jewish quarter and resented the fact we spoke Yiddish at home. You didn’t want to bring your friends to our house. According to you, we had no “savoir faire.”
Orthodoxy permeated the Casimir streets where we lived. Yiddish, loudness, along with strummels, caftans, pies, beards, black shoes, and white stockings made me feel, when I came home from school, that I had entered another world. In fact, I truly had. This was the world of our parents and, of course, our world. I had little contact with other Jews who lived in Krakow.
I did not speak Yiddish. Perhaps this was my way of rebelling, of rejecting what you were rejecting. The Christian students ridiculed those of us who spoke Polish interspersed with Yiddish. I, like you, Ida, made an extra effort to speak only Polish. And we both stepped across an imaginary line when we came home from school each day.
Nowhere was there for you to turn as you became more and more uncomfortable regarding your Jewishness. No conservative congregation existed. All around was Orthodoxy and that for you, I recall so well, was out of the realm of consideration. Perhaps consciously or unconsciously you knew that your only possible escape from what befell you ultimately was to become Christian. Mama and Papa did not sit Shiva, but I remember their silence and their hurt when you moved out and converted. I want you to know that I felt I understood your reasons, even though, looking back, you must have known how devastated our parents were.
Your picture on my dresser is an ever-present reminder, along ‘With all other thoughts of you that remain. Never will I forget the letter and the pair of slippers you sent to me while I was still in the ghetto. I held on to that letter until it was taken from me in Auschwitz. The slippers which I held every night, I left behind when we were moved to Plaszow.
The Ghetto
At the time we were forced into the ghetto, you lived outside. Even though you had the opportunity to be with us after you had been denounced to the Germans by the parents of your Christian boyfriend, you were Christian and did not, you felt, belong with the Jews.
In my mind’s eye, I can see you writing to me. I still know how it feels to touch the folded edge of that soft, tattered paper. I still know what those faded lines said. You told me that you loved me. You asked me to forgive you for all the sisterly disagreements we had and you hoped that we might see each other once again.
If there could be a way to tell you, or if somehow you could know, I would say: you meant so much to me. I love you, and thank you for helping me grow. I hope you didn’t suffer, that the pain was small, the ending swift. When those moments crush their weight against me, that is how I wanted to it to be for all of you.
Papa and I were the only ones left after mother was taken. Ida was never with us in the ghetto where we were herded and penned like pigs as they wanted us to appear. Scrounging, filthy, crawling shredded beings, fatless, leftovers hauled away dead after the long night’s longer torment in wheel-squeaking wagons pulled by another, soon to join with them. We began to become who it was they said we were–dirty, stinking, lousy, contentious Jews.
Father was able to go in and out of the wall they built to keep us out. Because he knew about textiles needed for uniforms, blankets and other supplies for the German army, they needed him. He was allowed to leave and return each day, sometimes smuggling bits of food back in with him. I prepared whatever we had and attempted to keep our small, crowded space as clean as possible. For one and one half years, we had one room in which we were trapped with or fears of raids, of beatings, of hunger, of pounding, and of dirt. It was here I learned to live one minute at a time.
Selected meant being chosen for a journey whose destination we never knew. One day, father was gone and they came for me. They told me to carry with me a small bundle of belongings and line up at the appelplatz. My Uncle Spira, head of the Jewish police who took orders from the Judenrat, was nowhere to be seen. I spoke to one of the policemen who knew me and told him I was Spira’s niece; they let me go.
Uncle Spira who lived in our house before we lived in the ghetto conspired with the Nazis. He felt that doing this would insure his family’s, as well as his own, survival. On many occasions, Spira would warn us of an impending selection and this time, his power or his powerlessness, saved my life once again. I believe that without his presence, I would not have survived.
In 1943, the ghetto of Krakow was liquidated. A German commander, Franck, was in control of the city and vowed as all other Nazis had in other cities to make it “Judenrein” (free or clean of Jews). Father and I, along with all those from the ghetto still alive, were moved to Plaszow, a labor camp situated twenty miles away and built for twenty thousand inmates upon a Jewish cemetery. I clearly remember the marking stones in the ground as I looked down when we marched in over them.
Before we were moved to Plaszow, an announcement was made over the public address system: “All children must remain in the ghetto and will later be moved to a children’s camp where care will be provided.” My sister, Lilka, had two children. The Nazis gave her the choice of staying with her children in the ghetto or going to Plaszow with her husband who would not leave without her. Lilka left the children in the police station with the hope that our Uncle Spira would look after them. The Nazis relished choiceless choices. Lilka chose to stay with her husband, go with him to Plaszow, and suffer untold terrors of guilt-ridden years. Today, she lives in Israel and has another husband and two adult children, Fannie and JoJo.
I must say that one never exactly knows what one will do in any given situation under stress such as we had to endure. Uncle Spira helped the Nazis and in that position pulled me from selection, that is, death on more than one occasion. If he had not chosen to be a member of the Jewish police, I would not be here. Uncle Spira was still in charge of the ghetto when father and I were taken to Plaszow. We heard shots and saw fire and smoke as we were taken away, but it wasn’t until later that we learned through whispers passed by the Kapos that he had been shot and burned.
PlaSzow
In Plaszow, at first, we were placed in a heavy labor area and told to carry heavy stones across a field, pick up another stone and carry it back across the field again. This went on for hours and days; we were being worn out. There was no purpose in our work and those who could not continue were shot. Nazi guards moved among us with German Shepherd dogs trained to kill those who were pointed out to them. Indiscriminately, we were torn to pieces by dogs and shot at by S.S. using us for target practice.
Our daily life was guarded by death, dogs, Nazis, and by senseless, unending roll calls when we would stand in the rain at attention for hours in the bitter cold, pinching our cheeks until they bled so that we would look alive, so we wouldn’t be selected, so we could survive a little longer. Some fell, left to die in the mud. Those of us who endured–bony, grey-skinned grimy ghosts of ourselves–looked forward to stinking hours of bodies in wet rags, unbathed, freezing cold, and crawling.
Our existence? Water was our soup; sometimes containing a piece of flesh or dirty bread. Foul latrines where you never knew when the guards would enter and order everyone out. No time, no privacy. Eyes always watching. Eyes in my sleep or that which I willed myself to escape into; a semi-wakefulness waiting for the next scream or shout or shooting raw hunger, raw nerves, raw intensity. I shall probably never be rid of them for they loom over every today’s shoulder. Was there ever another existence? Was there ever really a god of any kind?
Not one day, but one second at a time. I climbed those painful seconds every day, crawling through endless eternity one over until each not new morning came, looking forward to nothing, encapsulated into each second as if it were forever.
Once at the end of one long hungry day, I was part of a group which was told to carry stones. The Nazis decided to punish us for our apparent slowness, or their entertainment. We were assembled into rows and the Nazis’ guns were pointed at us. I remember wishing I could be an insect, and at that moment my eyes became blind. Out of fear, I could not see. I waited for the shots to put an end to the unbearable fear, but no shot came. Instead, one of the guards pointed to me and I was made to lie on a table where they whipped me into unconsciousness. Bleeding and stripped of the skin on my back, I was left without aid. The others dared not help for fear of their own punishment. I managed, in spite of the blood and pain, to get to my barrack. I knew if the guards found me on the table where I was whipped, I would have been shot. At least, we weren’t all killed. The blood and screaming must have assuaged their savageness for the time being.
At other times, I was hit on the back of the head or on the back. Now, in restaurants or other public places, I find myself wanting to sit with my back to the wall. In this way I feel less threatened.
Death lay everywhere. Life meant nothing. I watched while my friend was hanged. The rope didn’t kill her the first time, so her friends had to retie it and hang her until she was dead. She had been one who had tried to escape and we, as a warning, had to watch her execution.
Lullabies were played over the loud speakers at Plaszow as children were marched past their parents to Chujowa Gorka, a hill where they were shot. We who watched saw a parade of tiny shadowed marionettes slump clumsily to the ground as those who held the strings released them.
Amid insects and without anesthetics, I had two operations. One occurred when my fingernail was removed and another took place after a cyst was discovered under my arm. I was taken care of because I was in a labor camp and since I was relatively strong, I was kept at slave labor to provide supplies to the German soldiers.
Plaszow contained Jews who were found hiding, as well as slave laborers, and German political prisoners.
In 1944, rumors of Germany’s loss of the war were already circulating among the inmates of the camp. The Germans were afraid of the evidence which they had created and which would indict them if it would be found.
We were ordered to open the graves of those buried under the ground, stack the bodies, and burn the stacks with torches while the Nazis stood by with guns and dogs. The stench of that burning flesh and dead bodies became a part of the atmosphere and all that stood or lay in it. For years afterward, I was not able to go near a spit or open barbecue as that smell would always bring back what I so much wanted to forget.
At night, I was allowed to see my father, but every time we met and every time we parted, we never knew whether or not we would see each other again.
Father was involved in some kind of work for the Nazis and when possible, smuggled food to me. Others smuggled in eggs and small amounts of sugar. One woman in my barrack would beat an egg and a few grains of sugar together in a glass and whip the concoction into a glass full from which she would allow me to have two or three teaspoons.
Overriding my hunger and bad treatment was fear. I worked in a factory which made brushes and I was transferred to night work. Not able to keep my eyes open, I was incessantly trapped between sleep and fear of being shot, webbed in the horror of not ever seeing my father again.
As time went on my hunger grew worse as less food was available and more energy was expended in working and searching for food. We were doled a watery coffee and less than an ounce of black bread each day. Interwoven among my thoughts of finding something to eat was a prayer for my father’s safety and a dumbly mumbled “Shema.”
In March of 1944, Soviet forces advanced westward and as they did so, the Germans began a systematic evacuation of the slave labor camps in their paths. From Plaszow, hundreds ended in Auschwitz while others were sent to Mauthausen, Flossenburg, Stutthof and Gross Rosen.
One evening, I made my way to where I was to meet my father. I searched among those milling about. He was not there. “A transport went out today,” I was told. I never saw him again, even though I never gave up the thought that I would again find him.
AUSchwitz-Birkenau
Now, my turn had come. Inconsolably alone, exhausted, starving and occupying one slim space squeezed against death, I also was pushed into an awaiting cattle car. Given no water, and one pot which we like animals used degradedly and publicly, we were crammed, crushed and shut up into a stifling, smothering blackness.
The ride to Auschwitz-Birkenau, although seemingly interminable, lasted only four to six hours. I carried with me all I owned: the clothing on my body, a toothbrush, a lipstick, a picture of my mother and Ida’s letter.
When the heavy door of the train car was opened, an ugly dusk had fallen. Through my incomprehension, weakness and hunger, I could make out the tall, silver, shadowed, cane-shaped high electrified barbed wire poles looming over me. Crisp, well-tailored officers pulled us out of the train cars, jabbed, prodded and shoved us into lines while others of them gazed at us with steely, cold hatred, indifferent to our humanness. The Nazi propaganda had worked. Those young officers were trained to see us as inhuman, infested vermin. We were almost living proof of a well instrumented self-fulfilling prophecy. Kapos in striped, filthy, prisoner uniforms herded us like undefined animals into a large room where we were separated, men from women, and told to undress. Shivering and cold with no respite from our sufferings, all that we possessed including our last remnants of dignity were taken from us.
We were not shaved, but naked, grey and sallow. We were inspected, turned around, looked up and down, classified and delineated. Who will live and who will die? By a flick of a clean manicured hand foppishly playing God, life was categorized to death.
To the right meant life. I was shoved left, selected to die by Mengele, “The Angle of Death.” Like discarded rags, I fell into a heap onto the bare damp floor, apathetic to my surroundings, my mind minimally functioning, every movement a futile effort. Less than a step from death, hardly 55 pounds and without hope or caring, I stared with clouded eyes at the young girl next to me who had been separated from her mother. The girl’s mother had been selected to live – for labor.
A window, possibly a foot from the floor, above me suddenly rattled, and as if in a twilight sleep, I heard a floating intense scream, the voice of the mother insisting that the girl beside me jump through the window. Clawing and straining the last amounts of energy left in me, I followed, climbed and stretched through that same window. Once outside, I found myself surrounded by women who clothed me and the girl from the rags they wore; they smuggled us to their barracks.
I had escaped backwards to the rubbing edge of death. I was tattooed which meant I would be used somewhere as slave labor. Some chance for survival existed, although I did not know it.
Everywhere I met shuffling, dragging feet, begging mouths, dysentery, resignation and fear mixed with one focus–where to get something to eat, garbage, a spot of soup on the floor, dirt, anything which would ease the pain of the gnawing, burning hunger. I licked the floor for a taste of dropped moisture.
One minute was woven to the next with hope. Underneath the hunger, lay loneliness and thoughts of my father. “He will be waiting for me.” “When this is all over, we will meet and go home.”
Search lights doomed us to a target if someone desired, as we stumbled through the mud and night in fear of losing our shoes on the way to the latrine. To be without shoes was to lose one’s life. Some put them under their hats or heads while sleeping. I had no underwear, a thin sweater and skirt, and no heat. Eight of us occupied one wooden planked bunk from which we were roused at 6:00 a.m. every morning to stand in the cold, rain, wind, or sun for interminable hours. Exhausted, some fell, then were beaten into the mud to death. We rubbed clay into our faces to create an appearance of health, yet our bodies swarmed with lice, rashes and running sores. Our only purpose: live.
I could not believe that here I would see anyone I knew. How I recognized Lilka or she me, I’ll never understand, but there she was. A thin layer of joy spread over my world until she told me about the gassings. With that, I fainted. She held on to me and quickly brought me to my senses. I only saw her one more time when she brought underwear, cabbage, and bits of food to me. I never saw her again until I returned to Krakow.
Dazed and mute, lacking all energy to talk and wracked with dysentery, fast closing the gap which would categorize me as mussulman-camp slang for a prisoner crossing the line to death, – I pulled my clogs through the sucking, unrelenting mud, returning from the latrine to our barracks. As I approached, a bunkmate shouted to me to hurry. We were being transported to a labor camp.
Half dead, barely covered in rags, we 350 women were marched to cold black-mawed iron-sided trains in whose bellies we would be packed. As the doors slid shut with a loud shuddering sound, we began the long journey to Freudenthal, located in Moravia, a province of Czechoslovakia.
The word Freudenthal means a meadow of happiness; it was not. It was, if anything, an endurable labor camp, considering the alternatives; containing only women who every day marched through Licterverdun under the cold, vacant, by standing eyes of the townspeople. We marched to a textile factory located at the other end of town where all day we stood with our hands withering in frigid water, weaving cloth for the uniforms of German soldiers. We were kept in barracks on bare board bunks, wearing only what we wore from Auschwitz, without a stove, and with the snow finding its way through the cracks and slats.
Punishment here was standing all day and night exposed to the bitter night air, but no orders were given for shooting or killing by the men who guarded us.
I began to have severe pains in my stomach and was not able to eat. Anyone in this condition was of no use to the Germans. Fear and hunger traded places in my mind. In pain and so ill, I couldn’t stand; I was relegated to a make-shift infirmary. A baby, deliberately placed here to starve, was my lone companion. Its tiny voice cried and whimpered from pains of hunger until it slowly retreated into its appointed death. Friends of the child’s mother had placed it there in order to protect the mother. If any female was caught pregnant or with a child, she was automatically sent to the gas chambers of Auschwitz. Even now, hearing a weak cry of a child is an unnerving experience for me.
No medicine or aid of any type was available; however, Yanka Bowman visited me daily and managed to trade my bread ration for potatoes which seemed to soothe my stomach.
Although the winter months seemed dull and long, when spring came events seemed to happen fast. In April, a soft spoken German officer visited our barracks and asked questions about who we were and what we did in the camp. We saw him only once, but later learned he was an English spy scouting the area.
We noticed flowers blooming as we marched through Licterverdun. We also noticed photographs of Hitler with candles lighted in front of them as we peered at the windows of the houses we passed. When we arrived at the factory, we learned that Hitler was dead. With that message, we dared once again to hope.
LIberation
Rumors were heard that the Russians were not far away. Fears and whispers were passed in the night. “We will be marched until we drop of exhaustion, and if not dead, we will be shot.” The townspeople also heard the rumors and the plans for the march. These inhabitants, because they felt the Russians would go easy on them if the prisoners were not harmed, persuaded the guards not to carry out their strategies.
Awakening one day to the sounds of guns and bombing, we saw planes overhead. Knowing it would be the Russians who would come, several of the women jointly sewed a Russian flag and climbed to the roof of our barracks and attached it so that anyone flying over would not bomb this place where we were.
Not one guard was to be seen this morning. Not even one. Our eyes searching through the cracks and windows of our barracks fell upon truckloads of soldiers. I dragged what was left of my being to the door and stood numbed with disbelief. Fear, tears, shaking and trembling overtook my senses. I was free. “What does that mean?” With tears flooding my eyes, my mind raced through the possibilities of what would happen to me. “Who will I find waiting?” “Where will I go?” “What will I do?”
The Russians who liberated us treated us with compassion, broke down the doors to the camp warehouse and let us eat what we wanted. Because I continued to ‘suffer from stomach pains, I ate very, very little which, no doubt, saved my life. Many of those who gorged themselves became more ill than they had been and died after they were liberated.
We were loaded into trucks by the Russian soldiers and taken to the homes of the Germans who so blandly watched our wretched, hungry march through their town. The soldiers told us to take anything we wanted. In one house, my eye focused on an apple. I had not had a piece of fruit in almost five years. I took that apple, a towel, and a few articles of clothes to put on. I wanted nothing more from the Germans or anyone else–but I longed to find my father.
The next day, those of us from Krakow were helped into trucks and driven to that grand medieval city we once called home. The Russians who now occupied Krakow had set up refugee processing centers. At one of these buildings, we were dropped off. Others who arrived before us placed their names on a refugee list. I searched those handwritten columns seeking my father’s name but instead found Tanta Natalka’s name and the number of the place where she was living.
The Poles had taken our homes, jewelry and other personal belongings. Before we were walled into the ghetto, some of us had trusted what we possessed to those we thought were our friends. We found out after we returned that we were not expected. We were resented before we left, and less than few welcomed our corning back because they had profited from our belongings and our absence. What we had once owned had become theirs.
As Constantine had forced Christianity on all of his subjects, so had King Yaghello in Poland after his conversion. However, Yaghello and those following during the eleventh and twelfth centuries were troubled by a breakdown of their economy as a result of constant conflicts with Tartars. Anxious to rebuild their country and restore their treasures, these rulers encouraged and invited Jewish traders, shopkeepers, and moneylenders to their country.
Casimir III whose name is acclaimed in Jewish sections of Polish cities by at least one street named after him was a king, who with candor, exposed the practical motive behind his benevolence by declaring, “We desire that the Jews whom we wish to protect in our own interest, as well as in the interest of the Royal Treasury, should feel comfortable in our beneficent reign.”
Consequently, desperate Jews fleeing the bloody attacks of the Crusades, the Hussite Wars in Bohemia, and the Black Death found respite from their terrors and settled in Poland.
The Jews were protected by the King and by edict, but the Church and uneducated peasants, as well as jealous noblemen, waged for centuries a frightful war of anti-Semitism upon those Jews welcomed for their acumen. For over 800 years, 3,500,000 Jews lived in Poland. Eastern Jewish life for the majority was imbued with an intense religious quality, resisting influences from the outside.
For the most part, the economic condition of the Jews in most of Poland was painted with hardship and thrift. Jews were never allowed to own land. The strict adherence of the Christian to the law regarding usery forced Jews to carry out transactions in money, thus keeping Christian hands clean. Forced to collect taxes and extricate owed money, as well as appearing different and a victim of the Church’s derisive appellation, “Christ Killer,” they easily became ugly, hated and unwanted in the eyes of the populace.
On Easter, fresh from Church and the rantings of a fanatic priest, Christian children in Poland would attack and mercilessly beat Jewish children.
When we were sent away by the Nazis, many of the Poles because of this indigenous prejudice applauded the event. When those few of us returned, we were looked upon as ghosts from the past without a right to claim what was ours.
The war being over, we thought the pogroms had ended, but many of us were beaten and harassed to the extent that I wore long sleeves deliberately covering my tattoo.
Several of my Christian friends, one especially who attended high school with me, tried to persuade me to become Christian to avoid further persecution. I questioned my right to bring Jewish children into the world to fall victim to its terror. Tempted to convert, I nevertheless did not succumb for I realized that I would have been traitorous to those who had perished, especially my family.
Aunt Natalka, the only survivor of my mother’s generation, returned to Kracow to find a Polish family occupying her home. Having some conscience, they allowed her a room in the attic and the use of the kitchen. It was here I found her, and here I stayed, going every day to the refugee center, searching the lists for my father’s name.
I found a man who had been with Papa in Gross Rosen. He told me that Papa had been wounded in the foot by a German officer and when the Germans began losing the war, the S.S. drove the inmates from the camps to avoid any evidence of their crimes and victims. These remnants were marched to death. Some would die of exhaustion; others were shot because they could not keep going. My father was one of these.
No words I knew could wrap themselves around the feelings of loss I now bore. My whole existence, the thinnest attachment I had to life had for the past five years since the last time I saw my father clung to the knowledge that I, without question, would see him and be with him again. Without that hope, I would not have survived the horror and degradation of the camps. Now with certain reality, I must go on without it. A vacuum within a vacuum. What threads now would warm me against despair? An orphan among millions. I struggled for sanity and reasons for being.
To do my share, I found a job in a small factory, pouring shoe wax into containers. I had no skills and my education which was typical for girls in Poland was meagre and interrupted. The pains in my stomach continued, and I continued to live day to day.
One evening, Willie Springurt, a young man from Luxenbourg and whom I had known in the ghetto, came to my aunt’s door. Willie’s parents were Polish. When Hitler took over in Germany, they, and he, were forced to immigrate from Frankfurt to Poland. All of his family were exterminated during the years we were in the ghetto.
Before the last days of the Krakow ghetto, Willie and I became acquainted after having been introduced by a friend. He visited with me frequently, enjoying many conversations. Papa for some reason did not like him. Perhaps he was jealous. We went together for about seven months, although I considered him a friend more than a potential mate. Shortly before I was sent to Plaszow, we broke off seeing each other.
After Willie’s first visit to find me at Aunt Natalka’s, he came often and brought white bread for my stomach which he said would be much better for me than the black bread I had been eating. The white bread helped.
Willie had a plan to escape Poland. Part of his plan included my marriage to him. I told him I didn’t love him, but he insisted that that wasn’t important. He loved me and if we married, things would work out. I felt I had nothing to lose. Poland certainly held nothing for me, especially after the news of my father’s death.
Willie and I proceeded with his plans and were married in a civil ceremony. In the meantime, both Blanche, my cousin, Natalka’s daughter, and my sister Lilka returned to Kracow. Blanche, of course, stayed with her mother and me. Lilka was allowed to sleep in the kitchen.
Getting up every morning at 4:00 a.m. to deliver them, Lilka sold bread rolls from door to door helping me to stay alive by sharing what she earned with me. Lilka, in addition to her incarceration at Plaszow and Auschwitz, as also a prisoner at Radom and Poinke. Ultimately, she ended her camp life at Krazow, Czechoslovakia, then found her way to Krakow.
Blanche obtained “Aryan” papers, masqueraded as a Pole, and worked for a German family. She had been sent to a labor camp for Poles before the war was over and it was from that camp she made her way home to Krakow.
Willie had a friend, Zigmund Zwern, who planned to go with us, and Aunt Natalka persuaded us to take Blanche along. Willie, Blanche and Ziggie all spoke fluent German and I was instructed by Willie not to say one word, because I would give us all away. We four, carrying fake German passports, made our way by train to Frankfurt, leaving behind Lilka and Aunt Natalka.
TO AMERICA
All of Europe was in turmoil, people of all sorts milling in every direction. We made our way to a refugee camp set up by the United Nations Rehabilitation Services. There I had my first experience with American cereal. I opened a box of Rice Crispies, but I didn’t know what to do with it or how to eat it, so I ate dry cereal from the box and was glad to have it.
In Frankfurt, Germany, because Willie and Ziggy both spoke English as well as German, they were able to get jobs with the American Occupation Forces, taking care of a housing compound. I had my first glimpse of an American M.P., thinking they were giants for in comparison to the smaller statured Poles and people I knew they surely stood at least a head taller.
For almost, a year, we waited for arrangements to be made for us by H.I.A.S. so that we could be allowed visas to travel to the United States. Was it possible that I would reach America? When I was a youngster in Poland, we really believed the streets in America were made of gold. It was hard for me to visualize or even anticipate making a trip to such a place to live.
In the spring of 1946, the ship, Marina Fletcher, was commissioned to bring the first group of refugees from Europe to the shores of the United States. Willie and I embarked on that ship and were among those masses thrust from Europe’s travail to be allowed under the first lowering of the immigration quotas to enter.
Nearing New York Harbor, I saw with my own eyes what I had only heard about. There she stood, that green painted giantess, the Statue of Liberty, holding her torch to the sky and giving me the· grandest welcome anyone had ever received. My heart rose in my chest and pounded louder and louder as tears swelled in my eyes. Feelings of joy and guilt surged through me. “The others who perished should be here to share my happiness.” “Why was I chosen for life?”
Willie had relatives in New York who, at first, welcomed us. The two of us were again married in their home and both Willie and I went to work for them in their factory. Shortly after we began working steadily, Willie became ill and was hospitalized. During that time, I stayed in the Nagel’s home. Willie was diagnosed as having pericarditis, an inflammation of the lining of the heart. The Nagels took care of Willie’s hospital expenses this time but after his recovery, we both sensed a coolness in their attitudes toward us.
We quit our jobs with the Nagels and found other jobs in the same business but nowhere could we find a place to live which was within our ability to pay. Finally, on Long Island, we found what we could afford, although it meant getting up at 5:00 a.m. to take the ferry to get to the city before work.
Willie again became ill and ultimately hospitalized, so we moved back to the city. This time we found a fourth floor apartment in an old run-down tenement on Delancey Street, on the lower east side. We were forced to add another member to our family- a cat, to keep out the rats.
Because no money was available to spend on cab fare, I spent countless nights walking by myself through Harlem to get to the Jewish Hospital to be with Willie. During the day, I worked in a factory manufacturing children’s clothes. My salary was less than $20.00 a week. Not enough to pay for rent and food, let alone the extra burden of hospital bills. I spoke very little English, which before hadn’t mattered since Willie took care of all the interactions that were necessary. Now I was compelled to use the phone for myself and also compelled to listen to the insulting remarks such as “Damn Refugee!” made by those too impatient to listen.
Sitting in the semi-darkness, watching the watery light reflect on the oxygen tent covering Willie, I realized he was struggling and thrashing to get air. As a nurse came through the door, she spoke: “He is frustrated.” By the time the words were uttered, Willie was gone. Not knowing any other explanation, I associated the word “frustrated” for years with death.
Shock overcame me. I remembered nothing until the cab driver of the cab in which Willie’s cousin, Lil, and I were riding shouted at me to get out as I vomited all over myself. The man assumed I was drunk. Stumbling out of the cab, I fell to the curb; water, grit, and vomit stung my face as the cabbie accelerated his pent-up anger. I had no feelings left with which to care.
The Nagels paid the funeral expenses the next day, ad Lil stayed with me for a while in my apartment. After I returned to work, a big, rough man from a collection agency informed me that if I didn’t pay the hospital, I would be turned in for deportation. I had no means to pay for a lawyer, or wit to confront the issue on my own. I hadn’t come this far not to go farther. I saved the money I would have spent for one meal each day and paid the debt.
IN The FACE of Sorrow
I had no idea what to do with my life. I did know that I resented entering and leaving the back door of an uncooled clothing factory where sweat poured down my face as I worked over a steam machine. The thought occurred to me that my life must have more meaning.
Julius, a young man I dated for a time, encouraged me to attend school. Taking his advice, I went to high school in the evenings and completed a general education degree so that I would be accepted at New York City College. Going to school changed my life. I knew at school a chair waited for me; someone would call my name and I would answer. A simple routine, but one which would save my sanity and sense of being. I struggled with learning, at the same time wrestling with who I was and what really mattered, nurturing in myself some semblance of purpose for this transitory life. The sight of families together in the park or walking down the street would pluck a tender memory from my own past and send tears streaming from my eyes. Feelings of worthlessness and fear of rejection underlay the small steps I took toward patching together the broken pieces of my world.
I continued to work at Mode-Kitty, the children’s clothing factory where soon I met another refugee, a person who to this day remains my most cherished friend, Martha. She and I made an agreement to share an apartment together, and until Martha met married Zoli, we lived not far from Mt. Sinai Hospital on 105th and Broadway. After Martha left, Helenka, another survivor of Plaszow, although I did not know her when we were both there, moved into the apartment and it was she who arranged the blind date which led to my present marriage. Not an uncomplicated transition but one whose history is worth repeating.
HARRY
A furrier by trade, Harry Adler when I met him was working with his father, brother and mother in his father’s business. As time went on, we became fond of each other and Harry took me home to meet his mother. Up until now, I had not told Harry that I had been married previously. When I did tell him, he in turn told his mother. All the Jewish-mother manipulations possible went into effect. In fact, Harry broke off seeing me and was coerced to Frankfort, Germany, on a business trip.
Protective of her second son, Harry’s mother did not like the fact that I had been married. She thought that possibly I had a child hidden somewhere. And to give her argument traditional credence, she insisted that since Paul, Harry’s older brother, had not married, it would not be appropriate for Harry to marry before him. Harry left and I continued my routine of school and work, disappointed and hurt by someone I sincerely cared for and hoped to marry.
Helenka, returning home one evening from a date with Joe, informed me that Harry had returned. So, after laying aside my ego and hurt feelings, Helenka and I conceived a strategy so that I could see Harry again. We had a party to which Harry was invited. Once again seeing each other, we both realized we truly cared for one another and began dating again.
Harry’s mother wasn’t any happier this time than she was the last, but Harry announced our engagement in December of 1951 at the Sabra Cafe in New York City to the melodies of Shoshana Damari.
Off on a business trip again, Harry left his parents in charge of making plans for a wedding in April. This they found difficult because of the restrictions surrounding Lag B’Omer, a period of time in which no celebrations of joy are to take place with the exception of one day. It seemed that every Jewish family in New York had wedding arrangements made on that day. No place was to be found.
Not willing to put off the wedding any longer, I flew, wrapped in a seal coat which would be sold to pay for my air ticket, to see Harry. Harry met me at the airport and gathering a shamus, and ten virtually from the streets to make a minyan, we were married and a photograph was sent back to mother to verify the event.
Because Harry had business to attend to in Brussels, we took an apartment where among my many culinary attempts, I made donuts which turned out to be stone with jelly inside.
During this time, we traveled to Paris where we visited Lilka, who had smuggled out of Poland shortly after I left Krakow in 1945. I had not seen her since that time. Lilka had met and married Chilek. When Harry and I saw them in Paris in 1952, they had two children, Fannie and JoJo, ages 5 and 3. Living in a flat among other poor Jewish refugee families with no toilet or hot water, Chilek struggled to make a small living by tailoring, borrowing a neighbor’s sewing machine when it wasn’t in use. Seeing the conditions in which they were living, made it difficult for me to enjoy the remainder of my honeymoon without feeling guilty.
Harry and I had no money to help them, but we contacted Aunt Pitzelle’s son who lived in Chicago and he was able to send enough money to Chilek so that he could buy his own machine. From then on, although Lilka continued to suffer bouts of depression, they were able to make a good living and raise two children: one a fashion designer, living in Tel Aviv, and one who became a dentist, now living in Paris.
After visiting Paris, Harry and I returned to Brussels. From there, I sailed back to New York to my job from which I had taken a leave of absence. When Harry returned from Brussels, we were married again in a civil ceremony.
My life was taken up with working at Mode-Kitty during the day, going to school at night, working on becoming a citizen and trying to become pregnant. Under conditions of stress, a woman discontinues her menstrual cycle. I had not menstruated since my incarceration in Plaszow, and I feared that I would not be able to bear children.
CHILDREN
I desperately wanted a child, especially in view of the fact that so many members of my family had been slain. I felt it my personal responsibility to have a baby. Who would know of my family and pass on the memory of them if I did not have a child? Finally, after checking my temperature morning and night for what seemed an interminable amount of time, I became pregnant. In my eighth month, I quit work and school. I wanted a baby girl. I never had a brother, and I felt I didn’t know anything about raising boys.
My mother-in-law promised that if I gave her a granddaughter, she would buy a strawberry shortcake for me to eat all by myself. At 2:30 a.m. on November 14, 1955, after a car ride in a torrential rainstorm and a breakdown on the Long Island Expressway, I barely arrived at the hospital before giving birth. I was too sick from the anesthetic after Diane was born so I gave the most beautiful strawberry shortcake I had ever seen to the nurses on the maternity ward.
Why did I specifically want strawberry shortcake? Harry and I would visit his mother’s house and mother would often have strawberry shortcake for dessert. However, there were always so many people around that I could never have more than one slice, and I longed for a shortcake all to myself.
I had my baby. How can I express what that meant to me? A future, during the blackest hours of my worst pain and desperation, was unthinkable but here in my arms lay the most awesome expression of the word miracle. Nothing is impossible. I held the real, breathing wonder of that next to my heart.
Harry’s father died in August of 1954 of a heart attack, not living long enough to see his first grandchild. Up until that time, Harry had worked with his father and eventually they turned a furrier trade into a mail-order stamp business. After his father’s death, he began working for Schoco Toy Company, and then found a job as a travel agent.
We lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Elmhurst, where we slept on a hide-a-bed in the living room giving up the bedroom to the baby. Diane Ida, the second name after my sister, was a colicky child who refused to grow hair and insisted on being carried. She also inherited a crooked little finger, taking after her father’s mother. Other than that, she was a beautiful healthy baby who kept us up most nights.
When Diane became a year and a half old, we gathered up enough nerve to let her cry until she fell asleep by herself. We managed to do this feat by holding on to each other so that neither of us would get up and go to her. Soon afterwards, life smoothed out. In retrospect, I attribute Diane’s colic to my nervousness and lack of experience and if the poor child suffered as a baby, I blame myself more than anyone.
Four years later on August 31, 1959, I gave birth to a son, born with a full head of hair, who loved to eat and hummed when he did. I believe experience did make a difference.
“My daddy’s going away for a hundred days!” Diane would tell our friends before Harry decided to go into the import-export business in Switzerland. What a scramble this time was for us. Harry went to Switzerland the day after the night of his brother Paul’s wedding. Three months later, Diane, Allan and I joined Harry in Geneva. The flashing, sparkles of light, and banging sounds of fireworks emerging from the sky on that Fourth of July night jarred my thoughts to the present time, but the questions I ask remain unanswered.
PERSEVERANCE AND HOPE
Now, as I retell all this, the year is 1986. I completed eleven years of education, received both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree and served as Director of Social Services at Mesa Lutheran Hospital for eleven years.
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, with my husband, Harry. Diane graduated from Northern Arizona State University, married in 1982, and lives in Israel with her husband, Desmond, and daughter, Naomi. Allan graduated from Harvard University in 1984 and now works in Los Angeles, California. Allan married Susie Cooper in November of 1980. All my dreams are fulfilled.
Forty years have passed since I was liberated. Neither the terror filled memories, nor the agony connected to them, nor the tattoo have faded. Although other survivors have had their tattoos removed, I chose, as a reminder to myself and as a symbol to others, to keep mine. Of itself, it is a memorial.
In the same light, I write to those of my family so that you will not forget, so that you know I bore witness to the most heinous crime ever committed, so that you will be inspired to overcome what at the time might seem to you impossible.
I am often called upon to speak to school children and to others about what my life’s experiences have been. Frequently, I use a quote from Shakespeare which reads, “Sweet are the uses of adversity which like an ugly toad wears yet a precious jewel in its head.” I explain the quote to these audiences: “Life may give you horrible conditions with which you must struggle; however, from the struggle, you will learn to create beauty from the lessons you have learned.”
Out of my experiences came the need to prove that I deserve to live when so many others died. These feelings compelled me to learn English, return to school, continue with college, complete a master’s degree, and maintain a position as a director of medical social work. During the many years I spent attaining these achievements, I wanted to quit. Primarily, because I had trouble with both written and spoken English, I spent many hours in excess of what was normally required to complete an education. (I might add here that without Harry’s support, patience, encouragement, in addition to his ability to type and edit my papers, I would never have made it.) My determination to succeed, nonetheless, was my most powerful motivator.
I hope that my experiences and accomplishments will be an inspiration to you. Images and thoughts you may turn to when you feel life has dealt more to you than you can handle at the time. A guide to your own successes.
Look for one more way… never forget… never give up hope, the keystone for survival… you can turn bad into good.

More Than The Average Sex Appeal
The 1970s are often referred to as the golden age of sitcom and in Britain, ITV were the kings of comedy. They had so many great sitcoms that the schedules were packed with them, sometimes showing one every night of the week. But Monday night at 8.00 was the prime slot for new shows, as they were guaranteed a huge audience; it followed one of the nation's most-watched programmes, Coronation Street.
40 years ago today, on Monday 27th October 1975, the viewers settled down to watch the latest offering from Granada, The Cuckoo Waltz, and they weren't disappointed. Certainly not the ladies; Britain's newest sex symbol had just hit their screens.
The premise was a simple one: Chris (played by David Roper), a junior reporter, with his wife Fliss (Diane Keen) and twin babies Simon and Sarah, is struggling to make ends meet, and they live a poor but happy life in a rather threadbare, barely-furnished house. His mother-in-law (Clare Kelly) despairs of her daughter's choices, and the neighbour next door (John McKelvey) is pretty eccentric. "They were quite off-the-wall characters, all slightly batty", said Diane Keen.
Then Chris's friend Gavin (Lewis Collins) arrives. Rich, suave Gavin. A guy with personality, charm, good looks, and more-than-the-average sex appeal. His wife has just left him, and he wants to stay with them "for a couple of days". When they agree he can move into the spare room temporarily, he transforms it into a plush bachelor pad and never leaves. This has its ups and downs for Chris and Fliss, who have to adapt to having a cuckoo in the nest.
The series was written by Geoffrey Lancashire and, Diane Keen told us, was based on a true story. "Geoff was a struggling reporter at the time. The writer Jack Rosenthal was a great friend of his, and when his first marriage broke up he turned up on Geoff's doorstep undressed, having been thrown out, asked if he could stay for a couple of days, and never left!"
When Geoff later turned this situation into a comedy, many features were true to life; Chris's occupation, the financial hardship, Fliss's appearance - Diane was small and dark-haired, like Geoff's real wife - even the twins, Sarah and Simon were based exactly on Geoff's own twins. "It was all in there!" said Diane. Little Sarah Lancashire grew up to become a well-known actress in her own right.
While the cast were working on the show, Lew lived in his converted ambulance in the Granada parking lot. "It was a great port of call for a G & T or a coffee after work - Lew was always good for coffee. It was like having our own den" recalls Diane. "The three of us were the youngest and we all got on well so we'd hit the high spots of Manchester together. It was a lovely, easy friendship."
The show was recorded in front of a studio audience, where the Lancashire family would often come along to watch. David Roper recalls, "Lewis was a much better comedian than he realised. He often thought that he had to push himself to get laughs, but when he relaxed and let his natural humour show through, he really came into his own as a comic actor."
Each character had their own relationship with the others, and Gavin got on well with his landlady. "I loved Fliss's relationship with Gavin, " said Diane Keen, "and it was obvious that he was incredibly fond of her as a friend. But she wouldn't take any of his nonsense. Chris also wasn't averse to shooting him down in flames too, and Lew played it so beautifully with the hurt puppy look - it was so endearing".
This, together with what Diane called "a gift of a script", meant The Cuckoo Waltz was an instant success and went straight into ITV's top ten programmes. Throughout the first series it averaged figures of just over seven million* per episode, beating even Coronation Street some weeks
The three young leads became stars, and Lewis in particular picked up a huge following of female fans, and an awful lot of fanmail. He received proposals of marriage, offers of drinks and 'more', and one lady was desperate to buy him underwear. But although the ladies were impressed by his looks, Lew wasn't. He later said, " When I saw the first episode of The Cuckoo Waltz I thought I looked distinctly chubby, so I made a resolution to get fit. I cut out drink and cigars, isolated myself for training, got a tracksuit and went out running, did some swimming and then turned my attention to fitting up the spare room. It looks like a mini-gym." Lew's famous fitness regime began here.
The success of the show meant that a follow-up series was commissioned and according to Diane, it was even better to work on. "When the second series began it was like a great bonding of like-minded people. It was so easy to do as we already had the fanbase, and the camaraderie between us meant we didn't have to go into the studio and work on it, it was already there." Along with another terrific set of scripts from Geoffrey Lancashire, the second series, broadcast in July 1976, kept the show in the ITV Top Ten and a third series went into production.
Series three was broadcast in early 1977 and received even higher viewing figures than the previous two series, but by then Lewis had had enough and quit the show. All three stars had made their names in The Cuckoo Waltz - "It launched us all" said Diane Keen, and all went on to further their TV careers. Diane and David moved on to other sitcoms, Rings On Their Fingers and Leave It To Charlie respectively, but Lewis moved away from comedy and into the world of action and drama in The Professionals.
A fourth and final series of The Cuckoo Waltz was made in 1980 but Lewis's contract with Mark 1 Productions would have prevented him from returning, even if he had wanted to. Ian Saynor stepped in as Adrian Lockett, a new lodger, and Diane remembered, "He had similar qualities to Lew, the puppy dog thing that Lew also had. But he brought his own qualities too. He was a lovely guy, he fitted in very well, considering he had very big shoes to fill".
When The Cuckoo Waltz had its first repeat run, its popularity was re-enforced by scoring ITV's highest ever viewing figures for a repeat, and introduced some of Lewis's new Professionals fans to his comedy skills. But Lewis didn't appear in a sitcom again until 1999 when he made a guest appearance in The Grimleys, despite many of his fans thinking he should do more. David Roper agreed:
"Successful as he undoubtedly was in The Professionals and Who Dares Wins, I would love to have seen him succeed in what I believe was his true area of talent: Comedy. My lasting image of Lew is not of the gun-toting hard man who wanted to be feared, but of the little boy with a twinkle in his eye who just wanted to be loved."
All series of The Cuckoo Waltz are available from Network DVD.

PERSONAL WRITING SERVICES
MANUSCRIPT REVIEW
I provide deep developmental editing and line editing for full novel and memoir manuscripts. I charge by the hour and not by the page because some projects need more attention than others. For example, for a book that needs help with structure, I usually need to read the book in full before making suggestions that affect the entire manuscript. For manuscripts that need minimal copyediting, I can usually work faster–and it just wouldn’t be right to charge you more.
Though all projects are unique, the fee for an average 250-page manuscript usually works out to about $2,500. This fee includes developmental editing, an edit letter, and a one-hour follow-up call via Zoom to go over any questions you might have.
Before we begin work together, I offer a free 15-minute session via Zoom to discuss your book’s goals; I will also edit your manuscript’s first 5 pages for free. This will give you a chance to see how I edit, and it will help me see if I am the right editor for your book.
If we agreed to proceed, I will provide you with a written estimate for the number of hours I expect it will take me to edit your book. Half of that total will be due when you send your pages to me. I will check in with you along the way so there are no surprises, and about two weeks before completion, I will follow up with the remaining balance due. I have never charged a client more than my initial quote.
COACHING
I provide coaching on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Our focus can be on craft, structuring a project and goal setting, reconsidering writer’s block, creativity building, revision, building a reading list, or all of the above as needed. Sessions are typically one hour long and can be biweekly or monthly. Diane can also provide expert help with agent query letters and developing strategies for submission.
Rate: $125/hour.
AGENT QUERIES AND COMP TITLES
There is a deep education you acquire by reading lots of contemporary books similar to your own. Knowing the other books out there with similar themes, characters, and struggles will help you understand what books are in conversation with yours. You also naturally start to make connections: Who was the agent for this book? What publishing house championed it? What writers inspire this writer that I love? Who is my audience? Who understands the kind of story I am trying to tell?
And yet, I know this is a process that takes time…right at the time when you are most eager to send out your work and move to the next stage! If you could use a partner, I can help you write your query letter, create a well-researched list of agents to contact, and find comparative titles for your work.
Comp titles are important for your agent query letter. That section of your letter shows how your book is similar to contemporary works that are already successful in the world and also how your book differs–how your book will be adding something new to the conversation.
Depending on what you need, we can create just the right package for you, from query letter development, to comp title search, to the creation of an agent list.
Rate: $125/hour.
AGENT AND COMP TITLE PACKAGE ($875): Includes a 1-hour Zoom discussion about your book and query letter development, a review of your sample pages, and the creation of a guiding logline. You will receive from me a list of at least 10 comp titles and the 3 that I believe will best serve you in your query. You will also receive a list of 20 agents and why I think they could be a good fit. Finding an agent is usually a long and involved process for everyone. I can’t guarantee that you will find your agent quickly, but I can help you create a sparkling query and a detailed plan for the journey ahead!

TESTIMONIALS
Manuscript Editing
“Diane’s skills as editor, coach, teacher, writer, and connector are without par. This breadth of experience gives her an unerring ability to hone in on those changes–big, subtle, or deceptively small–that will make a manuscript sing. An acclaimed writer herself of both fiction and non-fiction, Diane has a genuine, kind, pragmatic, and supportive style that makes the editing process far more joyful and positive than it deserves to be. More than anything, she is truly one of the most special people you will ever have the pleasure and privilege to know and work with.” – Natalie Jenner, Internationally Bestselling Author of The Jane Austen Society
“I’m deeply fortunate to have had Diane Zinna review my novel in progress. In this capacity she has shared her expertise and mentorship in innumerable ways. There is way more than I could ever fit into a paragraph about her brilliance as a teacher. For now I’ll say that Zinna brings humor and whimsy to any subject she explores and that her grief writing practice is so successful because she infuses it with so much joy. She is also a terrific ally and excellent supporter of LGBTQ writers. I have witnessed her interacting with people of almost all ages, from 14 to 89, and all backgrounds, levels of education and various political beliefs, and she’s equally talented with every single individual. Diane is a versatile and gifted teacher. Every student who crosses her path will experience something profound, life-changing and uplifting. She has shaped and illuminated my own writing, teaching, and spiritual life, and for this I’ll be forever grateful.” – Jess deCourcy Hinds, Writer for Lit Hub, The New York Times, and public school librarian.
“The feedback and depth of engagement Diane Zinna delivers in her manuscript critiques is heartfelt, honest, and profoundly helpful. Here is a reader with enough range and openness to greet each piece of writing on its own terms; here also is a working writer with the vision and craft knowledge to articulate how a manuscript can be strengthened, expanded, distilled, and improved. The edits Diane shares are always a call to action. Her feedback doesn’t merely offer corrections; it inspires and prompts fresh engagement with the page. Writers of all types will find her advice to hold enduring value. She is among the best writing advocates and teachers I’ve ever known.” –Lara Palmqvist, Fiction Writer
“After I read her novel, I hired Diane for editorial work on my novel. Her eye for details, as well as her insight into storytelling were extremely helpful. I’ve been impressed by Diane since I met her years ago through the mentorship program that she developed in her role at AWP. Her innovation and leadership skills, as well as her gracious manner, make her an excellent teacher or program manager. I would happily recommend her as an editor, instructor, or program designer/manager.” –Eileen Cronin, author of Mermaid, writing instructor at UCLA Extension, and clinical psychologist
“It isn’t every day that you meet someone who is so obviously living their purpose in life like Diane Zinna. It’s obvious she was born to be an eloquent and dynamic writer as well as an insightful and thoughtful editor. She’s a natural at both, and a truly warm and special person who is a delight to work with. Don’t hesitate to work with her if you have a chance. She will lovingly coax your inner writer forward and help you birth the genius that lies within each one of us. –Ana Maria McKessy, Author of The Girlfriend’s Guide to Surviving Narcissistic Abuse
“I took an online writing class with Diane Zinna, and I was so impressed with her skill and intelligence that I asked her to work with me on my novel-in-progress. I am so glad I trusted that intuition. Diane is the best developmental editor I can imagine. She really got my book. Her suggestions ranged from detailed grammatical advice (remove about 1,000,000 unnecessary commas) to insightful suggestions about deepening plot and characters. My novel is immeasurably improved. She even charged me less than her estimate, because the work didn’t take as long as she projected! Diane has been very generous and encouraging about my next steps. I am going forward with query letters to agents with the hope of publishing. If you are ready for a new perspective on your work, I cannot recommend Diane Zinna enough.” –Charlotte Taft, Author of Without Permission
“Diane Zinna is a wonder! We had one-on-one consultations about my book proposal and sample chapters for submission to book publishers. Throughout the process, Diane was compassionate and professional, inclusive and demanding, and she offered publishing resources that I never knew existed. She balanced just the right amount of praise with constructive criticism. I kept returning to the document she sent me as a resource while submitting proposals–and found just the right match with a publisher. Thank you, Diane!” –Ann E. Feldman, Ph.D., and Author of Building Communities of Trust: Creative Work for Social Change
“Diane edited my novel, and I couldn’t have asked for a more qualified person to do the job. She was thorough, critical when necessary, and helped me reshape several sections. Moreover, she truly “got” my characters and my novel’s message about self-acceptance. With her assistance, I received many positive reviews on Amazon and Goodreads. I’ll definitely use her for my next manuscript!” – Naomi Rabinowitz, Author of F#@! BOMB
Grief Writing Classes
“Diane’s grief writing practice is so successful because she infuses it with so much joy. Her grief writing workshops were a godsend for our public high school students in New York City during the pandemic. My students lived in the “epicenter of the epicenter” of the virus in Queens, NY and many tragically lost family and friends. Zinna’s compassionate and clever workshops incorporated “hermit crab writing exercises” where writers borrowed common forms such as recipes, instruction manuals and lists to tease out the hidden poet in everyone, and tap into emotions in new and inventive ways. Students immediately opened up and trusted Zinna’s gentle presence and guidance. She invited each person to travel only as far as they wanted into their grief journey and didn’t push anyone to participate if they weren’t ready. Most students opened up nore than they ever dreamed they would with a perfect stranger because Zinna is just that kind of teacher. She made every student who shared feel like a total rock star. Her memory for the details in students’ work was exceptional, and she listened more skillfully than any teacher I’ve ever met. I call her a writing midwife.” –Jess deCourcy Hinds
“Diane provided a grief writing class to our college peer mentors dealing with losses and added stressors related to COVID-19 in our community. I very much appreciated how she approached them, with an understanding of and appreciation for the work they do. Her honesty, warmth, and sensitivity around grief helped us work through potentially difficult emotions and offered tangible ways to continue this work on our own.” –Ellen Quish, Director of Student Success, LaGuardia Community College
“Zap, I did not expect it, a profound change in my life. During a one-time workshop, two hours of writing about grief with Diane Zinna, I have discovered words. Continuing on, with Diane’s soft voice, clear guidance and encouragement, responding to weekly in-workshop writing prompts, I am propelled forward. My grief over losing my husband is slowly being healed, and I am renewed….” –Ruth Altheim, Writer
Memoir in a Year and Novel in a Year Courses
“Diane Zinna embodies the literary trifecta: she writes exquisite prose, edits with great thought, and conducts workshops in a constructive manner. Although I had previously completed an MFA program, I had not encountered a mentor like Diane. Her attention to craft and her encouraging demeanor were invaluable to my journey towards completing my first novel manuscript. I am forever indebted to this shining star.” –Wendy Besel Hahn, Novel in a Year Participant and author of Tante Clara
“When I signed up for Diane Zinna’s Book in a Year Class, I didn’t really expect to have a complete first draft of my second novel in eleven months. After all, my first one took four years to reach that milestone. Yet here I am with eighty-six thousand words, two compelling protagonists, and a strong story arc. I attribute it to three things. First, Diane is an incredibly supportive guide. I know I speak for all in our group when I say she made us each feel safe taking risks and sharing our doubts along the way. Second, she has a deep knowledge of the craft of writing and conveyed that so effectively by pulling examples from our work and outside sources. Finally, Diane created a sense of urgency by keeping us to a production schedule and stressing the vital importance of bringing healing art into the world. I highly recommend her class to anyone who wants to work hard and would benefit from skilled guidance, and an organized structure.” –Michael Freed-Thall, Book in a Year Novelist and author of Horodno Burning
“After decades of trying to write a book on my own, Diane’s Book in a Year class helped make my dream a reality. I now have a finished first draft! I couldn’t have done it without Diane’s mentorship. Her class was the perfect blend of workshop and writing craft lessons that got me to the finish line. Diane is magical in her keen insights, her support, and her ability to give a nudge or ask just the right question at just the right moment through the ups and downs of writing a first draft. I can’t say enough about how instrumental she and her class have been in getting me to this point!” –Fenny Lin, Book in a Year Memoirist
“I credit Diane completely with spurring me on and highlighting budding gems…that made me feel like I could accomplish this huge task…I feel like she is an empathetic and magical motivator, gifted teacher, and writer!” –Betsy Thomassen, Memoir Writer and “Book in a Year” Participant
“I believe that my experience with Diane as a teacher and supporter has been an open door for me at this place in my life. Instead of being afraid to try something that I wish I had tried way earlier in my life, she has made me feel welcome and whole in this space. What could make it better would be if I could just come live in her house and have this kind of loving and professional support all the time. Short of that, I’ll be back to her classes again and again if she’ll have me. She hears things that I couldn’t have heard and sees things I never saw. She shows me the art of being an artist and the possibility that is there for all of us. There is never, it occurs to me, a sense of judging or comparing or preferring one voice over another. Just finding and helping us find and express our own truths.” – Teri Hinton, Memoir in a Year Participant
Magic Writing Circles and the February Publishing Circle
“Diane has built a vibrant and inclusive community of writers who are deeply interested in their craft, and her February Publishing Circle is the most thorough introduction to publishing and sending out work I’ve ever taken.” –Travis Eisenbise, Fiction Writer
“Taking Diane Zinna’s creative writing class was one of the best decisions I have ever made in terms of my creative writing process. Her class helped me dig deeper into my writing and transform single-paragraph ideas into actual stories. Diane’s guidance as a mentor and teacher has helped me develop a greater confidence in my writing capabilities, something which I have carried with me long after the class ended. To this day, I know if I ever need another pair of eyes to review my writing, Diane will be there to assist me and offer constructive feedback. She is a teacher in every sense of the word, and her instruction doesn’t end just because the class does. I highly recommend Diane to anyone looking to improve their creative writing skills and looking to tell a compelling story.” –Taylor Girardi, Professional Writer

We just heard the heartbreaking news of Paul’s passing. Our hearts go out to you Julie and family as you grieve this devastating loss. I, Marlene started working in the Velvet Glove in November of 1975 the same month Paul started in the Velvet Glove. Gord worked with Paul in banquets and many years beyond that at the Westin/Fairmont. He was a joy to work with. Great sense of humour, wonderful with guests, professional, engaging, and so down to earth. He made an amazing contribution to the hospitality industry in Winnipeg. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all for much comfort in the days to come and in the memories you hold dear. Gord & Marlene McNabb ♥️ - Posted by: Gord & Marlene McNabb (Friends) on: Jan 29, 2023

I met Paul in association with Heritage Winnipeg, initially at our events at the Fort Garry Hotel and then as a Board member. He did everything with care and thoughtfulness. My sincere condolences to his family in Winnipeg and in Scotland. - Posted by: Nancy Klos (Heritage colleague) on: Jan 17, 2023
I started working at the Winnipeg Inn in 1979. Throughout all the name changes and the new faces always coming and going, nearly all of my memories of being there have Paul in them. Even at the most stressful of times, being around Paul made it seem a little less like work and a little more like fun with family. He was a great guy and it was my privilege to know him. My most sincere condolences to the family. - Posted by: Trent Roskevich (Another Westin Veteran) on: Jan 16, 2023
Paul was the true professional - I met him in the 80”s at the Westin where we often had dinner and drinks. Such a gentle man. Godspeed Paul Haverstock - Posted by: Jocelyn Greenwood (Acquaintance ) on: Jan 14, 2023
My sympathies to Julie and family. I met Paul in July of 1978, he hired me as a busboy for the Velvet Glove. That was going to be a start of a great friendship in the Hospitality Industry. Paul was my mentor, he taught me everything I need to know about the service industry, I would not have been successful without his guidance and especially the trust he had in me. Those early years at the Winnipeg Inn will be the most memorable that I still hold close to me and still talk about today. Paul thank you for believing in me, you will be missed. RIP Paul with much Love Henry - Posted by: Henry Traa (Friend coworker ) on: Jan 10, 2023

Our prayers are with the family in this sad time. - Posted by: Greg (Friend President Heritage Winnipeg) on: Jan 03, 2023
I met Paul way back when he was at the Velvet Glove. He oversaw many of our family gatherings, weddings and celebrations. He was full of charm and great stories. His laughter filled a room.

I was so sorry to hear of Paul’s passing. I had the good fortune of working on Royal visits and various other special events when Paul was at the Westin/Fairmont. He was such a pleasure to deal with, so incredibly efficient and such a gentleman. The last time I saw him was in the Oval Room at the Fort Garry Hotel. He never forgot a face and was always keen on chatting and reminiscing. He was a prince of a man and he will be missed. My sincere sympathies to all his family and loved ones. - Posted by: Suzanne Nolette (Acquaintance ) on: Jan 02, 2023
I wish to offer the family at this time my condolences, There is so much I could say about my older brother Paul, but all I have are my many happy days we had together.

I worked both full and part time with Paul at the Westin Hotel between 1980-87. I had many opportunities to speak with Paul as well as work catering events with him. A fond memory was spending a day with Paul at RBC creating a massive cake for the Kelvin Clippers 75th Anniversary. I have a great photo of us working on that project. Paul was always willing to lend a hand. He was also the one who coordinated my wedding at The Westin in ‘86. I was thankful for Paul’s professionalism, but more importantly his friendship, during my years working with him. My condolences to Paul’s family. - Posted by: John Milani (Co-worker from The Westin ) on: Jan 01, 2023
My deepest sympathy to Julie and family, may you get through this difficult time, through prayers and the comfort of friends. Paul was a great mentor and friend. I had the privilege to work along side Paul for many years, he touched so many lives through the events he planned. He had a great sense of humour and was very kind. I learned lots from Paul and shared morning bus rides to work with him often. My boys have fond memories of Santa from the kids Xmas parties. He was greatly respected and admired. Paul, Rest In Peace you will be missed. Elfie, Eugene and family - Posted by: Elfie Siemens and family (Friend) on: Jan 01, 2023

My heart goes out to all of you. - Posted by: Sharon Romanoff (previous co worker) on: Jan 01, 2023
I met Paul when I worked at the Winnipeg Inn and over the years was a fond admirer of his skill in delivering excellent food and beverage services at the many events I attended as a tourism and hospitality industry professional. Paul was always on the move keeping his eye on all of the details and was the consummate professional and an exceptionally talented manager who taught many of us the finer points on how to deliver exceptionally catered events. RIP Paul... - Posted by: Marina James (Work colleague) on: Dec 31, 2022

I remember working along side Paul in both Banquets, but as well as during several prominent functions as well as the video shoot for the hotel turning 100. I remember when my father started at the hotel and during the childs christmas parties where he played santa. For many years I thought the "real" Santa was actually Scottish.

Welch. Her family moved to Newbury, VT where she spent her childhood, attended school, and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Vermont mountains. Lorna was passionate and dedicated to whatever project she embraced in life. She left home to study English Composition at Keene State College for 2 years before returning to Newbury to support her family in tough times. She later ventured to Boston, and eventually Hartford, CT where she was a Quality Assurance Inspector for Pratt & Whitney. There, she met the love of her life, Peter. They quickly married. started a family, and set forth working together t. manage a large apartment complex. In 1971, Lorna and her family hit the road, traveling up the east coast to Prince Edward Island, researching family heritage, and living in a camper for almost a year- all the while enjoying the adventure. Next, Lorna moved to Randolph, ME where she and her husband built a home. The pair operated a boarding home for Veteran's who were adjusting to civilian life.
Lorna was a social worker, nutritionist, counselor, nurse, life skills coach, chef, and friend to many brave men. She took great pride in the care she provided and was the ultimate caregiver!

She also opened her home to her mother and brother, caring for them until they passed before her. After operating the boarding home for 33 years and with much encouragement she finally retired in 2006. Lorna was a wonderful, loving, fun, and creative daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. She reveled in all of life's details: reading, cooking, sewing, knitting, gardening, playing with children, crossword puzzles, music, dance, and theater. She especially loved animals, adopted strays, and always surrounded herself with as many as possible! She was good at everything she did and was always willing to learn something new. She taught all of us how to love unconditionally, enjoy life, and above all care for each other.
She will be greatly missed by those who are left behind: Peter K. Cain, husband; Crystal Cain Castro, daughter; Brian Castro, son-in-law; Ethan and Elijah Castro, grandsons; Nancianne Woodward, sister; Frank Woodward, brother-in-law; 5 treasured nieces and nephews; 13 great nieces and nephews; Kim Abbott, adopted daughter and her family; and a myriad of people she has touched along the way.

Born in Augusta on March 22, 1959, she was the daughter of Stanley Lamont and Jean Elizabeth (Cloutier) Pratt. Her delivery was done by the late Lee W. Richards Jr., M.D.
Alice attended Hussey School, Williams School and Ella Hodgkins School, and was a 1977 graduate of Oak Grove-Coburn School in Vassalboro. While at Oak Grove, Alice spent hours in the riding ring and on the trails upon her favorite horse, Promise. She then studied art at Mount Ida College in Newton, Mass. Alice had a keen interest and appreciation for the works of the late Andrew Wyeth.
Alice enjoyed antiques auctions, sewing, crafts, gardening, cooking and making fleece blankets and pillows for others. She was a skilled chef and caterer and enjoyed experimental cooking. As a child, she had many fond memories of summers at Pine Cove on Three Mile Pond and also at the Cloutier-Carrier cottage on Rangeley Lake in Oquossoc. She and her many friends made numerous trips to Reid State Park and other coastal and distant destinations. Alice's first love was the family log cabin at the "lake." Alice and her brother, Jon, took great pride in the care of the gardens, grounds and waterfront.
On Aug. 4, 2008, Alice learned that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer. She fought her illness with dignity and courage, and never complained. Throughout the course of her illness, Alice met many people. She was an advocate for her own care and was not afraid to speak up if she had questions. Her medical records and pathology slides have been placed in the library at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston where Harvard Medical School students, faculty and other providers may access them for future research and treatment.

For many years, Alice had been the office manager and a licensed funeral attendant at her family's former funeral homes, Laite & Pratt in Camden, and Gray & Pratt in Windsor. Alice was a resident of Windsor for several years. Her most enjoyable employment came from working for many years for several families in Maine and Greenwich, Conn., as a chef, au pair, gardener and driver. Alice once told of a man who she kept meeting each morning at the neighboring mailbox in Connecticut named George. After several weeks, she learned that her unshaved neighbor was George C. Scott. She was proud to live and work on a neighboring island beside the late Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, and a couple of summers ago prepared dinner for Gen. Alexander Haig.
Alice loved spending time with her sister and family in Sarasota, Fla., and East Greenwich, R.I. She was famous for cooking up "special requests" for her nephews. Her obituary photo shows her last fall at Warwick Country Club, where she enjoyed relaxing and spending time with family and friends. Alice loved to attend cousins' events at Boothbay Harbor with the numerous members of the extended Sutton family clan. Alice enjoyed skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Kingfield and Squaw Mountain in Greenville.
Her caregivers, in addition to her brother, Andy; Tracie Young Carolin; Lisa Kaye Pomerleau, RN; and Mark Sutton, were all with her until the end. Alice was grateful for the care and concern of the crews of Rescue 3 and Rescue 4 of the Augusta Fire Department.

Marilyn Gould
Marilyn 'Dee' Gould July 13, 1923- Dec. 24, 2008 FREEPORT -- Loving mother of four and grandmother of four, as well as mother figure to many more, Dee passed away unexpectedly from a cerebral hemorrhage on Dec. 24, 2008, surrounded by family, the way she liked it best. A true friend and mother to everyone who passed through her door, Dee will always be remembered as a woman who opened her heart and her home to all who knew her. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dee was raised in Philadelphia by her parents, Howard T. and Florence R. Mitchell. While attending the University of Pennsylvania and earning her bachelor's degree in education, she met Charles S. Gould, a young, dashing merchant mariner on a blind date arranged by her Alpha Chi Omega sorority sister. On Aug. 17, 1946, the two married and began their life together in New Brunswick, N.J. Dee taught kindergarten and Charlie worked towards his master's degree at Rutgers University. In 1954, Charlie, a sales representative at Dupont Chemical, was transferred to Maine and they settled there after a brief stint in Texas. In 1956, they moved to their home in South Freeport and raised their four children. Dee was a member of The South Freeport Congregational Church where she was a long time choir member (she had a voice like an angel), organist and junior choir director. A member of the Harraseeket Yacht Club, Dee was also politically active in town and county politics and was an accomplished piano player who even taught lessons for a few years. In 1966, Dee went back to work first at Job Corps in Poland Springs, then later, in 1970, as a psychiatric social worker at the Bridgeton Mental Health Clinic. Later in 1978, she transferred to Maine Medical Center where, in addition to her duties in the psychiatric unit, she did consultations in the ER and burn units. Dee's experiences made her a firm advocate of family participation. She once said, 'I'm a great believer in family involvement. People don't live in a vacuum, they live in a system with others. Mental illness represents great challenges, but with understanding comes acceptance.' No one knew more about family acceptance than Dee herself. After her retirement in 1990, she turned her attention and efforts to her family and friends, keeping up a long-standing Gould family tradition called 'Augustfest,' a family reunion held in their home for the past 30 years or so. Augustfest was an event which Dee planned and executed in her typical way-with tons of love and even more important perhaps, her 'meticulous' lists of everything from guests to menus to sleeping arrangements. No matter whether 10 people attended or 100, Dee was ready for anything. Dee is survived by her husband of 62 years, Charles S. Gould; her children, Charles M. Gould of Portland, Barbara L. Gould of Lincolnville, Matthew R. Gould of Falmouth, Mass., and James D. Gould of Natick, Mass.; and her four grandchildren, Louisa, Morgan, Steven and Danny; as well as many, many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends whom she considered her own. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to hospice or another charity of your choice Marilyn 'Dee' Gould

Philip Jagolinzer
Philip Jagolinzer, 71 SCARBOROUGH -- Philip Jagolinzer, 71, died peacefully on Nov. 1, 2008, at the Maine Medical Center.
Nearly two years ago, Phil was told that he had six months to live. Instead, his positive attitude kept him going much longer. When asked how he was doing, he always replied, 'getting better every day.'
Phil was born in Pawtucket, R.I. in 1937 to Charles and Lilyan (Lipson) Jagolinzer. Phil did his undergraduate work at Clark University.

That same year, Phil published his first and only Cost Accounting textbook, which is still used in some college classrooms around the world. Phil liked to point out that more than 4,000 students had taken one or more of his accounting classes. He also was very proud of the many students that he counseled regarding accounting as a career choice. Twice during his tenure at USM, Phil took visiting professorships at other colleges - The University of Iowa and Arizona State University.
After his retirement from USM, he also taught for two spring semesters at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. In 1960, Phil married Ruth Press.

Barbara Baker Mallory
1936-2021
Former Village resident and longtime St. Mary's parishioner Barbara Baker Mallory's funeral will be held at St. Mary's on Friday, September 24th at 4pm. May Barbara's soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Barbara died peacefully in Palm Beach, FL on May 2nd surrounded by her three children. The eldest daughter of Alice & John D. Baker, Barbara was born in 1936 and was raised in New York City and Buck Hill Falls, PA. She graduated from the Madeira School and Bennett College with a degree in Interior Design in 1956. In 1957 she married Thomas Downs Mallory of Bradford, PA and Palm Beach, FL.
After briefly living in New York City following her husband’s U.S. Army enlistment, Barbara and Downs moved to Tuxedo Park, NY in 1964. For the next 35 years they raised three children and enjoyed an active, outdoor lifestyle. Barbara managed her own interior design company; she was one of only a few women at the time in Tuxedo Park to run her own business, Barbara Baker Interior Design, and to use her maiden name in her work. Her projects ranged from Tuxedo Park, and nearby New York City, to Nantucket, Florida, Chicago, Sun Valley, and Jackson Hole. In her community, she became president of the Tuxedo Park Garden Club and eventually the Orange and Dutchess County Garden Club, while also volunteering extensively with the Tuxedo Park Club, St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, and the Hudson Valley chapter of the Nature Conservancy. Perhaps most unique to Barbara was her vigor in sports. On the golf course she was only the 2nd person in Tuxedo Park Club history to win the club championship 5 times. In the fields and streams she was a master wing shooter and gifted fly fisherwoman. She was an amateur mycologist and an outstanding cook of wild game. Barbara was elected into the International Women’s Fly Fishing Association which is composed of the top female anglers worldwide. Downs accompanied her when the group travelled internationally on fishing expeditions to Russia, New Zealand and Patagonia.
In 1999 Downs and Barbara moved to Wilson, WY and Palm Beach, FL. In Wyoming she continued to hunt and fish while entertaining her many friends and extended family at their beautiful home alongside the Teton Mountains. They enjoyed being members of the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club and played many rounds of golf with friends. In Florida, they reconnected with old friends, enjoyed the Bath and Tennis Club, the Everglades Club, and the Society of the Four Arts while keeping up their sporting life. Like her red hair Barbara was a bold and boisterous mother, grandmother, aunt, godmother, and wife for 61 devoted years. She loved all people, animals and natural things and her indomitable spirit gave her the courage to face her last 11 years with Alzheimer’s. She was not afraid to talk about her disease and helped many people cope with this same diagnosis.
Barbara is survived by her older son Thomas D. Mallory, Jr. of Atlanta, GA; daughter Meredith Mallory George of Darien, CT; younger son Baker D. Mallory of Ridgefield, CT; nine grandchildren; and sisters Alice Cullen of Villanova, PA and Joan Baker of Santa Fe, NM. She is predeceased by her husband Thomas Downs Mallory. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Barbara Baker Mallory to: Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, 34 Washington St., Suite 310, Wellesley Hills, MA 02481.

Vincent R. Capozzi
November 18, 1956 – July 3, 2021
Vincent (Vinnie) Capozzi passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Saturday, July 3 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie. He waged a difficult battle with cancer, which he handled with the same determination, perseverance, and selflessness he handled everything in his life. Despite whatever he was going through, he was always 100% there for his family and friends. Vinnie was born in Poughkeepsie, son of the late Richard and Marie Francese Capozzi. In 1976 in Sheahan Hall on the Marist College campus, he met the love of his life, Honora "Noreen" Fennell, with whom he would spend the rest of his life.

Cynthia "Cindy" L. Reese of Tuxedo, NY passed away on Monday, March 1, 2021 at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, NY, NY after a short but valiant battle with interstitial lung disease with her close friends Sandy McGrady and JoAnn Martin by her side. She was 67 years old. Born February 10, 1954 in Utica, NY, she was the third of five children of the late Philip and Anna Jaquays Reese. Cindy was a proud graduate from Waterville Central School, Waterville, NY in 1972. Following graduation Cindy worked at Nichol's in the photography department until she obtained a position at Lockheed Martin and General Electric soldering circuit boards. During this time period she also became a freelance photographer for the Waterville Times newspaper in Waterville, NY. When the facility closed Cindy took the advantage to return to school.

After four years she returned to New York state to assist her friend Sandy in the care of Sandy's mother. Since this move Cindy has had employment with Monroe Taxi as a driver and at the Tuxedo Union Free School district as a greeter, bus monitor, and most recently, proudly as a school bus driver. In all her endeavors, no matter what new challenges Cindy faced she greeted each one with acceptance, a smile which said "Yes I Can!" and a willingness to give it her all. She enjoyed participating in many things from bowling and drawing, to photography, to horseback riding, to doing a little karate and bicycle riding, to baking or Bar-B-Qing, to just quietly doing Sudoku or other mind challenging games. However, her greatest love outside of her family was her love of animals particularly dogs, especially Noah her miniature Schnauzer whom she lost last year. Cindy was married to and divorced from the late Larry Windover of Clarks Mills, NY. From this marriage Cindy had one child whom she loved dearly, Sean Windover of Clarks Mills, NY. She is also survived by her two younger sisters Karen Evans of Rome, NY, and Julie Eastman (husband Keith) of Oneida, NY, along with many nieces, nephews, two great nieces, cousins, aunts and uncles.

Wayne Lyski
Wayne Don Lyski, passed away peacefully on July 31, 2020 in Rye, NY. A shining example of an American success story, Wayne was born of humble beginnings on September 24, 1941 in Great Falls, MT, to Aro and June (Hayes) Lyski. As a youth, he enjoyed fishing and hunting trips with his father and brother. Wayne graduated from Foster High School in Tukwila, WA and went on to college at Seattle Pacific University after receiving a basketball scholarship.
Wayne’s life would be changed forever when he made his first cross country trek by train to Philadelphia, PA where he would attend The Wharton School for his MBA. It was during this time that he developed a passion for financial markets and was recruited to a training program with RCA that would take him to rotations in Cherry Hill, NJ, Singer Island, FL and ultimately Boston, where he met his wife of 47 years, Barbara Byron. From there, Wayne moved to New York City to work for JP Morgan in the firm’s research department, which propelled him into a successful career in Fixed Income investing.
He made a name for himself as a leader in the field at Alliance Capital Management, and showed an affinity for emerging markets investing. His role took him around the world, meeting with investors and finance ministers, and building a sterling reputation as one of the brightest stars in the industry. Wayne held a series of positions at the firm, including chairman and chief investment officer of Alliance Capital Management's fixed income division where he was responsible for overseeing the management of approximately $150 billion in fixed-income assets. Upon his retirement from Alliance in 2004, he continued to manage investments for long time clients through 2008. During his career, Wayne was tapped for critical advisory positions and received numerous accolades. He served as a member of the Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee from 1996 to 2004, advising the Secretary and staff of the United States Treasury on the financing and management of federal debt, and in 1998, he was inducted into the Fixed Income Analysts Society's Hall of Fame. Never one to extricate himself from the markets, Wayne kept a Bloomberg terminal in his home office post-retirement and always loved to relive fond memories reconnecting with old business friends from the street.
Wayne was a relationship builder, and was known for bringing people together and sharing his passions with ski trips to Deer Valley and golf outings in Tuxedo Park. Always a true Montanan at heart, Wayne’s adoration for open spaces could be found in the places where he gravitated and made his homes. Even when working for decades in NYC, Wayne’s primary home could be found upstate in Tuxedo Park, NY. More recently he had the opportunity to spend parts of the year among the beautiful Wasatch Mountains in Park City, UT and among friends in Fort Myers, FL.
His grounding force throughout has been his family, he and Barbara raised three children who have been the recipients of unconditional love. Spending weekends coaching ski racing at local mountains during their high school days in the 1980’s and 1990’s, to teaching his grandchildren how to tackle Stein’s Way at Deer Valley in the 2000’s, he was always an involved parent and grandparent and their biggest cheerleader. His life was also touched by tragedy with the loss of his eldest son, Brian, to a car accident in 1994. Through trials and successes, Wayne persevered and was a pillar of strength for his family and continued to build a wonderful legacy for his children and grandchildren.
Whether he was known to you as Grandpa, the Silver Fox, Wayne or Dad, he will be forever remembered for his remarkable life: one of generosity, a loving spirit, an amazing sense of humor and constant encouragement of those he held close.
He was preceded in death by his son, Brian, parents, Aro and June, and brother Dale and his wife Joyce. He is survived by his wife Barbara, fondly referred to as “Mrs. L” or “Bobbi”; children Karen Beatty (Graham) and Steven Lyski (Sheri); grandchildren: Jackson Beatty; Emma Beatty; Lucy Beatty; Bryan Lyski; Gianna Lyski; Greyson Lyski; sister, Karen Fleming (Dick); and many nieces, nephews, and extended family and dear friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Wayne’s memory be made to The Folds of Honor Foundation http://support.foldsofhonor.org/goto/waynelyski

Neal Strohmeyer
Neal William Strohmeyer, of Tuxedo Park, NY the most beautiful and beloved father, husband, mentor, brother and friend, passed away on Sunday, July 5, 2020, after 68 years of a well-cherished and love-filled life.
Neal was born in Teaneck, NJ, at the Holy Name Hospital, to William F. Strohmeyer and Jean W. Strohmeyer. Alongside his brother, Lee and his sister, Diane, Neal grew up in Fair Lawn, NJ, spending his days as an attendee of the Westmoreland Elementary School and Memorial Junior High School. After a year at Fair Lawn High School, in 1967 his family moved to Upper Saddle River, NJ where he would go on to graduate from Northern Highlands Regional High School in 1969. Neal's passion for athletics was apparent. Following his many years as a star catcher on the varsity baseball team, he was offered an esteemed spot on the Pittsburg Pirates, one he would turn down to pursue his other passion, business.
After some time at Montclair State University, in 1971, Neal joined his father in the family business, igniting within himself a flame of passion which he would stoke for the rest of his life. Under 49 years of his astounding leadership, Triangle Manufacturing flourished exponentially, a product of his unwavering dedication and contagious tenacity. In his honor, Neal's son, Dax, the companies' third-generation CEO, established the Neal W. Strohmeyer Training Center, a testament to his steadfast commitment to the development of the team of Triangle associates.
While clearly a dedicated businessman, Neal was, above all else, devoted to his family and his community. His love of philanthropy and boating brought joy to all those that paid witness to his bright smile, and his gentle yet magnificent presence will never be forgotten. Everyone he leaves behind will truly miss Neal's deep and profound adoration as well as his genuine consideration for those around him. Merely being in his presence was a blessing utterly treasured by his loved ones.
Neal is survived by his wife, Linda C. Strohmeyer; his three children: Dax, Whitney, and Ava; his five grandchildren; and his siblings, Lee and Diane.
Condolences may be offered in the form of donations in Neal's honor to one of his most favorite organizations, The Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative in Hackensack, NJ.

Greg Smith
James Gregory Smith, 52, of Cape Elizabeth, Maine took his life on Saturday, April 20, 2019.
The following words are evidence that his final act on earth did not come from his heart or lack of ardor for life, but was the result of addiction and mental illness. There’s simply no other way to explain the abrupt end to his beautiful life.
Since childhood, Greg was deeply immersed in literature, film and music. His love of the arts combined with his intelligence, wit, charisma, work ethic, oratory gifts and educations at both the Groton School and Columbia University manifested in him, and fashioned an undeniable creative force.
At every step of his career, Greg was a performer. He started his professional life in New York City as an actor and filmmaker, and eventually found a home in advertising.
For the last 20 years as Chief Creative Officer of the VIA Agency in Portland, Maine—Greg’s talent, leadership and audacity have well-served many of the world’s most iconic brands. From Sony to Samsung, Pepsi to Welch’s, Greenpeace to The Salvation Army—chances are, you’re familiar with some of Greg’s work.
In his time at VIA, Greg led the agency onto the national stage by winning marquee pitches, countless awards and, in 2011, Small Agency of the Year (AdAge). He also helmed many pro bono projects that greatly impacted his community. For the last few years, he volunteered his time and talent to Preble Street, a Portland, Maine-based, non-profit providing services to people who struggle with homelessness, hunger and poverty.
Greg loved Bruce Springsteen, R.P. McMurphy, the Sunday Times, crossword puzzles, the “Pats, C’s and Sox,”, little kids, nicknames and the “F” word. But miles above all, he loved his family.
Greg is survived by his parents, James F. and Margaret Frame Smith of Boston, Massachusetts and Kennebunk Beach, Maine. They brought their beloved son into the world on November 10, 1966 in Salem, Massachusetts. Greg is also survived by his sister, Ellen Scott, her husband Stuart and their children Sophie and Juliet of Wellesley, Massachusetts. Greg relished spending time body surfing at Mother’s Beach with his father, teaming up to cook and grill with his mother, and striking up engaging dinner conversation with the “whole gang”. Greg shared a bond with many aunts, uncles, cousins, in-laws, and friends who were more like family to him.
Of all the titles held by Greg, the two he cherished most were father and husband. Greg leaves behind his wife, Emily, of Cape Elizabeth, his eldest son, Nate, of Portland, and his son Elias, a freshman at UC Santa Barbara. His love and appreciation for them were deep and unwavering. Greg’s true pride and joy resided in his time with “Champ, Rip and The Gov”—lazy days on the lake in Oquossoc, coaching his kids’ sport’s teams, legendary meals off his grill (always wood-fire, never propane), night swims, thrills at “The Garden,” philosophical debates, and making everyone laugh until their stomachs (including his own) hurt.
To sum it all up, the final word goes to The Boss. Greg wouldn’t have it any other way.
“It’s not the time in your life, it’s the life in your time.”
-Bruce Springsteen
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 AM Saturday, May 4 at Holy Spirit Parish, St. Martha’s Church, 30 Portland Rd, Kennebunk. Interment will follow in Hope Cemetery in Kennebunk.
Any memorial contributions in Greg’s memory may be made to Preble Street at 38 Preble Street, Portland, ME 04101 or the Midcoast Humane animal shelter at 190 Pleasant Street, Brunswick, ME, 04011.

Chris graduated as a top student from St. Paul’s School in Concord, NH, and Yale University. He also studied at Columbia University, from which he received a Master of International Affairs and a Certificate from the Russian Institute. He spent a year in Munich, Germany, on a Fulbright Scholarship. His interest in the facts of history knew no bounds. Whatever topic came up, he would be able to tell his listeners something they didn’t know. He also served in the US Army as an artillery officer at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Chris was an investment banker for more than 25 years, specializing in the financing of foreign governments and corporations in the US and Eurodollar capital markets for Harriman Ripley, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs. When he left that world, he took an active role in the Tuxedo Park Association, a partnership owning several thousand acres of land in the Town of Tuxedo. He also assumed the oversight of the family-owned 9,000-acre forest property in South Carolina, and served as co-chairman of Highland Forests, a partnership owning 5,000 acres of forest land in the Adirondacks, where his family built a lakeside cabin, enjoyed by all for many years.
As the Historian of the Town of Tuxedo, and President of the Tuxedo Historical Society, the history of that area in Orange County, NY, became a passion. He was a curator and keeper of the memory of the Town of Tuxedo and Tuxedo Park, one of America’s first planned gated communities, a unique place that in the late years of the 19th century and early years of the 20th century could be called America’s version of Downton Abbey. An offshoot from this interest resulted in a book, Tuxedo Park, The Historic Houses, published in 2007, of which he was co-editor.
In addition, Chris was always generous with his time and talents in several non-profit organizations. He served as a trustee and Chairman of the Board of Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, a trustee of the Episcopal Diocese of New York, a board member of St. Mary’s Center, an AIDS health care center in New York City, Chairman of the Board of the American-Scandinavian Foundation, and one of two trustees of the Vincent Mulford Foundation, which gave support primarily to organizations which work to alleviate homelessness in New York City and Boston. Chris served for many years on the vestry of St. Mary’s-in-Tuxedo Episcopal Church.
He was also generous with his physical self, donating one of his kidneys to his son Peter, in 1995, a true act of fatherly love. That kidney had an excellent run for 23 years. Last year it was traded in for a younger version from Peter’s sister, Edie. Chris’ generosity survived, even after death; his brain was sent to the Taub Institute of Columbia University to be used for scientific research on Alzheimer’s Disease.
Chris married Sally Barnes, the daughter of a newspaper publisher, from Bristol, CT in 1966, and together they lived in New York, Paris, and finally Tuxedo Park. They raised four children; Peter of Cameron, SC; Nicholas of Bedford, NY, Matthew of Bethesda, MD, and Edie of Seattle, WA.
Chris was a keen bird hunter, mainly enjoying the sport at his place in South Carolina. He was an avid hiker, earning the rare distinction of summiting all 113 mountain peaks in New England and New York over 4,000 feet. He was an Adirondack 46’er.
Chris was a good-natured gentleman, fair and decent. He was devoted to and proud of his wife and children and grandchildren. He had no pretenses; he could wear a hard hat and wield a chainsaw or don a black tie and dine with royalty. The irony of his life, and death, is that two of the natural gifts he had been given, a big brain and a well-functioning kidney, both weakened and led to his death. He lived life to the fullest, leaving nothing on the table. He will be greatly missed by his family and community. In addition to his wife, Sally, and four children, he leaves twelve grandchildren and a sister, Sheila Pulling, of NYC, along with many nieces and nephews. Two sister, Sophia Campbell of Oxford, England, and Carol Ewing of Millbrook, NY, predeceased him. A memorial service will take place at St. Mary’s-in-Tuxedo on Saturday, April 13 at 11 a.m. Donations in his memory may be made to St. Mary’s-in-Tuxedo Episcopal Church, PO Box 637, Tuxedo Park, NY 10987.

Alan Yassky
Alan Yassky, age 82, of Tuxedo Park, New York, passed away at home on June 7, 2018, surrounded by loved ones. He was an adored father and friend to his four children, Karen Clemons of Ohio, Linda Yassky of Brooklyn, Steven Mason Yassky and Laura Yassky Glynn, both of Upper Nyack, as well as their respective spouses, Tom Clemons, Georges Nahitchevansky, Bonnie Elder Yassky and John Glynn. Alan was also the proud grandfather of Rebecca, Ben, Jon, Vladimir, Nina, Imogene, Hannah and Tyler, and one great-granddaughter, Delaney. He is also survived by his devoted partner Francine Liza, of Tuxedo Park, and his loving sister, Marilyn Prant, of Voorhees, New Jersey. Alan’s adored wife of 53 years, Jean Mason Yassky, passed away in 2008.
Alan Yassky was born and raised in Nyack. A Nyack boy through and through -- he knew the Rockland County of both past and present. He could regal one with stories of swimming in the Hudson River, driving his door-less Model T through Nyack with his high school buddies standing on either running board, and working on a road crew blasting rock to lay the New York State Thruway.
After graduating from Nyack High School (1953) and the University of Vermont (1957), Alan entered the Air Force and served for four years in the Office of Special Investigations, rising to the rank of Captain. Alan entered the real estate business in 1962 as a salesperson selling new homes. Alan with his wife Jean, successfully launched Rockland Realty in 1964. As the county grew, so did their business. They eventually expanded its operations to include both residential and commercial sales and leasing. Over fifty years later, Rockland Realty, is still proudly family owned and operated.
Of note amongst a few of Alan’s successful real estate ventures are: the transformation of the former Ramapo Valley Airport into the corporate business park known as Airport Executive Park, in Nanuet; and conversion of Rockland Garden Apartments into elderly and affordable housing units in Nyack. Alan was and is still involved in numerous other major investments throughout Rockland County, as well as interests in North Carolina and Ohio. He was widely admired for his excellent judgment, a quality that served him especially well in his choice of business partners of whom he often remarked he felt blessed to have known. In business and in life he was willing to consider all sides, and never avoided the risky or difficult choice if he believed it was the right one.
Alan was active in both the Rockland County and New York State Boards of Realtors, rising through the ranks to hold the presidency in both organizations. In 1984, he was appointed as a National Director of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), and held the office of Treasurer from 1997 to 2000. In 2003, he received NAR’s Distinguished Service Award, and lifetime member of Realtors Political Action Committee. Alan was a past President of the Spring Valley Rotary Club and was a member of the Board of Directors of The Tuxedo Park Historical Society, The Rockland County Cancer Society, and The Rockland County Housing Coalition. Alan also served as a Chairman of the Clarkstown Industrial Commission and was a Director Emeritus of The Rockland Economic Development. He was a proud member of Trout Unlimited, The Black Meadow Club and Barbers Eddy Club, as well as The Tuxedo Club.
For the past thirty-three years Alan lived in Tuxedo Park, where he volunteered countless hours managing a variety of special projects for the community including the restoration of the police booth and offices, the repair and rebuilding of the stone wall along Tuxedo Road, and the reworking of the Wee Wah dam.
The breadth and depth of his knowledge, on a vast range of topics, and his ability to explain just about anything to anyone, were a constant source of wonder and joy for his children and those lucky enough to know him. He possessed boyish good looks, intelligence, charm, a sense of adventure, and an abundance of good will and generosity that made him the best of company. Alan could pilot a boat, fly a plane, cast into the wind while reeling in the big one, hit a moving target, and fix just about anything that involved pipes, nails or wood, often in the most novel ways. He was a gifted public speaker and story teller. He was an amazing negotiator from the days where a handshake meant something up until the day he passed and was always eager to celebrate the accomplishments of others. His level-headed wisdom, good humor and love for his family and friends will be sorely missed.
There will be a celebration of Alan Yassky’s life on Thursday, June 28, at 11:00 a.m., at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, 10 Fox Hill Road, Tuxedo Park, New York.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in his name please be directed to either United Hospice of Rockland, 11 Stokum Lane, New City, NY 10956 / hospiceofrockland.org , or Trout Unlimited PO Box 7400, Woolly Bugger, WV 25438-7400 / www.tu.org Hannemann Funeral Home, Inc.

Ingrid Ahlberg Warren
Ingrid Ahlberg Warren of Tuxedo, NY died Monday, April 24, 2017 in Westchester Medical Center from injuries sustained from a single vehicle accident not far from her home.
Ingrid was born in Merchantville, NJ on December 25, 1937, a Christmas gift to Walter and Eleanor Ahlberg. From the beginning Ingrid was an adventurous and curious child who delighted in exploring her neighborhood, scraping her knees and making friends with every person and animal she met. Ingrid also held a special place in her heart for the education she received from Westfield Friends School in Cinnaminson, NJ. Always creative and stylish, Ingrid went onto attend the Tobe-Coburn School in New York City in her early adulthood. There she studied fashion design and founded many lifelong friendships. It was at this time that Ingrid met and fell in love with Kirby Warren.
Ingrid and Kirby were married on June 7, 1958 and went on to establish a beautiful family home in Tenafly, NJ. Together, they created a life that was full of travel, friendship, laughter, and love. They also raised three children, Lynn, Elizabeth and William and through example showed their children how to be responsible, conscientious and caring people. Ingrid’s love for her family and the adventure of life was evident in everything she touched, every house she decorated and her determination for personal growth continued to drive her. As example, Ingrid went on to get an additional degree in Architectural Home Design in NYC. Ingrid had a successful career as a designer and loved nothing more that creating warm and welcoming spaces for her clients, friends and family.
Ingrid was also forever bonded to Long Beach Island, NJ. As a child, Ingrid and her family spent many summers on the island. She loved telling stories about sailing on the bay, swimming in the ocean and lifeguarding on the island’s beaches. Ingrid designed her dream home on Long Beach Island in the town of Harvey Cedars, NJ. This home was the family’s “touch stone” and a favorite spot for extended family to gather and share good food, beauty, love and loss together!
Ingrid was forever devoted to her eight grandchildren and two great grandchildren. They each had a special relationship with their Nana Ingrid. She had the innate ability to make each one of them feel special, loved and worthy of all the good that life can bring. Nana will always be remembered by them, ready to laugh and loving them unconditionally.
Ingrid will be remembered lovingly by her church family of St. Mary’s in Tuxedo Park and Tenafly Presbyterian where she was an active and giving member. She will also be greatly missed by her friends in the Tuxedo Park Garden Club, where Ingrid loved to help arrange flowers for special events and get her hands dirty in the soil helping to plant and maintain the beautiful gardens in the Park. She gave herself to the Arts, her friends, her family, and touched the souls of all she met. Ingrid’s passion for life and inability to stop any task until the work was done will always guide those fortunate enough to have shared her space, and aggressive enough to try and keep up.
Ingrid leaves behind her husband, E. Kirby Warren; her sister, Mary Ahlberg Petersen; her daughter, Lynn Warren Peters and her husband, Jeffery; her daughter, Elizabeth Warren Wotherspoon and her husband, David; her son, William K. Warren and his wife, Maryann. She is also survived by her granddaughter, Ingrid Peters Parnell and her husband, Sean, her granddaughter, Katy Peters, her granddaughter, Brittany Wotherspoon, her granddaughter, Charlotte Warren, her granddaughter, Kirby Wotherspoon, her grandson, Patrick Warren, her grandson, Grant Peters and her granddaughter, Jessie Lynn Warren. Ingrid also leaves behind her two great grandchildren, Kennedy Parnell and Paxton Parnell, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and many, many friends.
Ingrid was predeceased by her parents Walter and Eleanor Ahlberg; her brother, Walter Ahlberg Jr., and her sister, Eleanor Ahlberg MacAllister.

Henry Alexander Salm
Alex Salm, a long-time resident of Tuxedo Park, N.Y., died peacefully on November 14, 2016. A graduate of Le Rosey in Switzerland, The Kent School ('37) where he was on the rowing and hockey teams and a member of the class of 1941 at Dartmouth College, he immediately joined the US Army Air Corps immediately after graduation and served honorably and with distinction in the Pacific Theater. As commander of the 6th Squadron, 29th Bomber Group, 314th Wing, of the 20th Air Force, flying B-29's, he was in command of the famed "City of St. Louis," ultimately flying over 30 missions towards the end of World War II. Decorations included the Distinguished Flying Cross with oak leaf cluster and the Air Medal with two oak leaf clusters.
While enjoying a career in shipping, hotel management, and commercial real estate brokerage, Alex somehow found time for numerous sailing races, notably several Transatlantic (on the winning side in 1960), Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro, Transpacific, Sydney to Hobart, Miami to Montego Bay, Newport, and Block Island Races. He loved sailing and was a member of the New York Yacht Club, the Storm Trysail Club, Cruising Club of America, North American Station of the Royal Scandinavian Yacht Club, and the Nylandfka Jatklubben. He was also a life-long member of the Union Club in New York and served on the board of the National Horse Show.
A man of many talents, Alex was at home on his lawn mower or up a tree with a saw, and he loved to serve as his own "butler" as a way of scaring off would-be salesmen. While often professing to be a "hermit," he actually loved to host sailing reunions, Thanksgiving Dinners (would set the table himself) and Gold Racquets weekend opening parties. Always a "law and order" man, after his daily breakfast at the local diner where he loved mixing with all the local citizens, he brought a cup of coffee and doughnut to the guard at the gate to Tuxedo Park, and was a long-time supporter of the Tuxedo Police and Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Corps. He loved the history of the area, knew who lived at which house and when "before the war," and delighted at being the oldest participant in such events as the annual Tuxedo Club Ball and the Memorial Day parade in town. He particularly enjoyed sitting on his porch with his friends, watching the sunsets and having good conversation.
A benefactor to many, the new boathouses at the Kent School and Tuxedo Club were a source of pride and joy ("and a good place to throw a party!").
The family would like to recognize his long friendships made at the Orange Top and with Tina Smith and Jun Viray, without whom his joy in life would not have been possible.
Alex is survived by his first cousin, John Train, and many "nieces and nephews" - the 17 sons and daughters of his other predeceased first cousins: James Gerard, Sumner Gerard, Coster Gerard, and Peter Salm.
A funeral will be held at St. Mary's Church in Tuxedo Park, NY on Thursday, November 17, 2016, at 11am. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Tuxedo Volunteer Fire and Ambulance Corps.

+++ RADOMSKI, Grazyna Maria Teresa
July 22,1932 - October 28, 2022.
Grazyna passed away peacefully at home in her 90th year. Her love of family and her enjoyment in family life and her spirit were maintained until the end.
Born in Warsaw, Poland, she was predeceased by her mother Maria and brother Lech-Marian in Poland; her father, Lt. Col. Henryk Bazylko, in 1975 in Abbotsford; and her husband, Dr. Tadeusz Radomski in 2000 in Abbotsford.
She led an extraordinary life including her escape from the advancing military invasion at the start of WWII. Uprooted from her birth country, she travelled on strafed trains across Europe, and ended up on a ship, the MS Batory carrying troops to France from Greece, that survived torpedo attacks in the Mediterranean. Her Lt.Colonel father had to leave her in the south of France for the duration of the war while he and his soldiers rejoined the Polish Government in Exile and the war via England. She continued her schooling in Scotland and England, and met her future husband in Ireland through a mutual friend. They were married in London, England, where she worked as a physiotherapist, and began a family. Moving the family and dog to Saskatchewan for what was only to be a one year stay in Canada turned into a lifetime when the family later settled in Abbotsford and expanded.
Grazyna led a life of limitless heart, openness, and spirit. Happiest when entertaining friends and family with imaginatively prepared and presented gourmet meals, and hosting memorable gatherings and parties. The doors were always opened and the guest room was always occupied.
Some of the things she will be remembered for include being an advocate for her family and friends, the affection she drew from everyone, generously full of Polish hospitality, and being a model of motherhood in action.
She is survived by her children Yolanta, Witold, Christopher (Karin) and Elizabeth, and her grandchildren Kara, Leah, and Jesse.
Mass of Christian Burial was held Friday, November 4, 2022 in St. James, Abbotsford. Interment followed at Hazelwood Cemetery, Abbotsford.
+++ VANDERZALM, Joan Elizabeth
February 16, 1936 – October 26, 2022
Joan was a loving wife, mother, grand-mother, and great-grandmother.
She was born in New Westminster, the 5th of 10 children, growing up on “Douglas Road”. She regaled to her children on how tough her and her siblings were – all with a twinkle in her eye. On September 5, 1956, she married her beloved husband, Nick, and spent the rest of their married life in the house they built behind the nursery. There they raised their 5 children: Debbie (Mike), David (Cindy), Wim (Alison), Cindy (Mark) and Sarah (Mike). This house became more than a house. It was the home to innumerable gatherings for both sides of the family – Ericksons and VanderZalms. Here was where Auntie Joan shone. We will all miss her amazing meals …. and her pies!
Her faith and her church, St. Peter’s, were a constant in her life. She was a member of the Catholic Women’s League where she also served as president, and she always kept the priests well stocked with her baking. Nick and Joan made sure that the grounds of the church were adorned with beautiful flowers and the liturgical celebrations well decked out with poinsettias and Easter lilies.
Joan is also survived by her 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren with 2 more great-grandchildren on the way. She will be greatly missed. Our hearts, however, are lightened knowing that she is back together with Nick and all her beloved family that has predeceased her.
A funeral mass was held November 3, 10 am at St. Peter’s Church, 330 Royal Ave. New Westminster. Immediately following there was a reception at Kearney’s Funeral Home at 219 6th St. New Westminster. Interment at Gardens of Gethsemani, 15694 32nd Avenue, Surrey was at 2 pm.

Together, Marguerite and Alfred made homes in Terrace, Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, West Vancouver, western and southern Turkey, the Fraser Valley, Indian Wells, California and Peachland, BC. They shared their warm hospitality with friends and neighbours in each one of these places.
Giving freely of her time, Marguerite was ever-present in her children’s school life and through the years she served as CWL and hospital auxiliary presidents. She continued to serve in her White Rock community until recently.
Marguerite lived and loved her faith every day of her life. It was her guiding light and the source of many dear and enduring friendships in every community in which she found herself.

After moving from her beautifully decorated condo in New Westminster, Sylvia moved to Thornebridge Gardens. She was so lucky to have her best friend there of 70 years, Anna Smith. Together they participated in the various activities offered by the home. They joked how they would pretend they were on a cruise ship.
Sylvia leaves behind cherished memories, her loving children - Cathy (George) Piva and Len (Teresa) Dixon, five wonderful grandchildren - Matthew (Casimir), Alyssa (Krystian), Daniel (Tracy), Jenny, Adam, her sister in Ottawa, Marg (Fred) Boeckler, her brother, Lou (Joy) Lavigne. She is predeceased by her loving mother, Edna Lavigne, her father, Omer Lavigne, her brother, Adrian Lavigne and her husband, gone too soon, Ralph Dixon.
A huge thank you goes out to the emergency room nurses and doctors at Royal Columbian Hospital especially Nurse Raymond, Nurse Jeff, and the Respiratory Therapist, Laura. Also thank you to the hardworking and positive nurses on 4 North and then on 6 North. You truly are angels on Earth! Lastly, and very importantly, we would like to thank the excellent staff at Thornebridge Gardens where mom spent the last four years of her life. Thank you for all you have done during these challenging years.
Funeral Services were held Monday, August 1 at St. Peter’s Church in New Westminster.
She rests beside her husband at the Gardens of Gethsemani. Sylvia’s passing has left a tremendous void in our lives.

+++ MORRISON, Norman
Norman Morrison passed away at the age of 87 in the early hours of July 11, 2022, at the side of his beloved wife Maureen at home in North Vancouver. He grew up in East Vancouver with his older siblings Don, Louie, Pat, Jack and beloved sister Mary, all predeceased. At the age of four, Norm lost his father, John. He worked at Campbell’s Hardware to help support his mother, Mary. During his youth, he formed life-long friends through the CYO and “the Beavers”(a neighbourhood group of ‘Eastend Boys’ who he enjoyed lunches with over many years.) Norm went on to have a very successful career working his way up from a clerk for CP Rail to being a manager/shareholder of Taiga Forests Products.
For 61 years of marriage, Norm was rarely without Maureen at their family home of the past 60 years in Blueridge, North Van where they raised their five children Marianne (Dennis), Norm Jr.(Joy), Joe (Janine), Tim, Suzy and welcomed seven grandchildren into the family Richard (Vanessa), Chantelle (TJ), Kylie (Nic), Noah (Van), Kalina, Kyan, Taryn.
From his seat at the Sunday dinner table, Norm would enjoy watching his large brood talk and debate. It was rarely a quiet table and that’s what he liked most about having everyone around him; though he always managed to sneak away to decompress for his 8PM bath. He read his daily newspapers, stayed on top of everything, and expected opinions to be respectful, smart and well-informed. He was happy tinkering around his house and painting whatever he could find in need of a fresh coat. He had a longtime passion for Hastings Park Horse-racing and eventually co-owned his own racehorse.
Norm is best remembered as a selfless man who greatly valued friends and family. He never hesitated to offer whatever help that was needed to whomever needed it. He and Maureen were very active in their parish, St. Pius X, and supported many charitable causes. Norm never forgot his humble beginnings and always had a strong sense of being blessed in life with cherished family and friends. In his final months, he was sure to let others know: “I’ve had a good life.”
A funeral mass will be held at St. Pius X Parish, 1150 Mt. Seymour Road in North Vancouver on Tuesday July 26 at 11am.

In 1946 she was drafted to Esquimalt, H.M.C.S Naden, for demobilization. Helen continued to work in various offices in H.M.C. Dockyard, later called C.F.B. Esquimalt, until she retired to White Rock in 1977 to care for her sister Qu'Appelle who passed away in 1978. Prior to that Helen took care of her mother for 7 years in Victoria.
In 1982, Helen's widowed sister, Bernice McCall (Birdie), moved to White Rock from Edmonton. Although Birdie had her own condominium, they were constant companions and took many trips together worldwide. As Birdie’s health declined Helen was there 24/7 to care for her.
Helen joined the Star of the Sea CWL in 1977 and was Organization Chairperson for several years. She worked at Bingo, Meals on Wheels, Hospital Visiting, and was a regular lector at Sunday Masses. Always kind and caring, much loved by her family and friends, we will never forget how she touched us all in our shared journey through life.

Elly earned her Teaching Certificate from Victoria Normal School in 1951 and over the years taught school in the Okanagan; Lincoln, Nebraska; and Richmond, BC. As Dick’s Plant Virology career progressed, they raised four children together in Nebraska, Montana, Montreal, and finally Richmond. Family was at the heart of Elly’s life. She was a devoted Mom for many years, and enjoyed nothing more than gathering with her children and grandchildren. Elly’s faith was very important to her and she participated in many church organizations including Parish Council, RCIA, Fall Fair Chairman, Retrouvaille, Marriage Encounter, Welcome Home Team, and for 32 years she was a member of the Small Christian Community at St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Richmond. The support and love from that community meant a great deal to Elly. Elly also volunteered as a docent at the UBC Museum of Anthropology for ten years, and for many years following Dick’s diagnosis, Elly lead a caregiver support group for spouses of those with Alzheimer’s. Elly and Dick travelled to many places around the world and enjoyed trips to Europe, Africa, Australia, and Japan. They especially enjoyed a year’s sabbatical in Scotland with Jim and Dave, but their most favourite place of all was Cox Bay on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Elly loved birds and delighted in observing them all, from hummingbirds to eagles. She loved to walk the Richmond dykes and fly kites at Garry Point in Steveston, and shared many happy times there with her family. Elly lived with enthusiasm her entire life and had a strong sense of justice for people and for the natural world. She epitomized resilience.
The family is very grateful for the care and comfort provided by the staff at Richmond Hospital, and for the wonderful, caring staff at The Maple Residences in Steveston, which was Elly’s home for the last two years of her life.

+++ LOU, Father Aloysius
Father Aloysius Lou was born on November 14, 1933, in Hong Kong as the youngest son to parents, Francisco and Sau Wah. At the age of four, he fled with his family to Macau to escape the Japanese invasion. There, he attended the Istitudo Salesiano with his older brother Pedro, where his father worked as a secretary.
In the following years, his family faced a punishing twist of fate when his father died. Coping with distress as a young widow, his mother found work with the Precious Blood Sisters and through the missionary, she found grace in knowing God. As a devout Catholic, she instilled her spirituality in her children. Fr. Aloysius was baptized in Macau in 1944. After the war ended in 1945, he followed his family and settled in Hong Kong.
In 1949, Fr. Aloysius responded to his calling and joined the Salesian of Don Bosco. In 1953, he went on to study philosophy at the Novitiate Salesian Seminary in Naples, Italy where he stayed for several years. In 1959, he studied theology at Melchet Court, Sherfield, England, where he entered his lifelong journey into priesthood.
Fr. Aloysius was ordained in Macau on December 18, 1965. He started first as a teacher and administrator in Salesian schools and then discerned the call to serve as a diocesan priest. He came to the Archdiocese of Vancouver in 1972 and was incardinated into the Presbyterate of the Archdiocese in 1979. He is most remembered for having served for a long time with dedication and zeal at Saint Francis Xavier Parish, in Vancouver.
As a former teacher, Fr. Aloysius was dedicated to nurturing the spiritual maturity of his ministry. He founded the local Council of the ‘Knights of Columbus’ in St. Francis Xavier Parish in 2005. He was very supportive of the Knights which earned him a 4th Degrees member ranking, titled ‘Sir Knight’. He was also the founder of ‘Saint Joseph Sodality’ for family heads.
Like a good shepherd who is constantly on the lookout for green pastures, Fr. Aloysius tirelessly devoted himself to his ministry. With keen observations and confidence, he identified areas in which promotion and upgrade were apparent. Under his leadership, he led the building of a home for the elderly - Happy Manor was opened in July 1979. In the following year, the new parish daycare center was also completed. Father was always committed to help and respond swiftly to requests. Since 1975, he took up additional ministry work in Seattle for the Catholic community there. His heart was moved with compassion when he learned that ‘they were like sheep without a shepherd’. He commuted to Seattle once monthly over a period of ten years.
In 1995, Fr. Aloysius was invited to serve at Our Lady of Good Counsel, in Pearl City, Honolulu, Hawaii. The congregation grew quickly, and in the summer of 1997, a Chinese ministry was established at Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish, where he was appointed associate pastor. After four happy years in Hawaii, father was called back by Archbishop Adam Exner to oversee the new Saint Francis Xavier School and church projects. Fr. Aloysius witnessed the inauguration of the new Saint Francis Xavier church and retired from active ministry in 2008.
Fr. Aloysius studied and spoke many languages and believed that language is the key to broadening one’s horizons. Since his retirement, father devoted his time to work with the Sisters of the Epiphany, a member of the Salesian family in Shaoguan, China, as a volunteer English teacher. Although technically retired, he continued to contribute much of his time and expertise to serve at St. Theresa Roman Catholic Church.
In his later years, another door opened at Saint Joseph’s Seminary and Church in Macau. Invited by the bishop of Macau as a guest pastor, Fr. Aloysius immersed himself in a seminarian’s life of quietness and solitude. There, he reconnected with his distant memories of living in Macau during his childhood. In his retirement years, Fr. Aloysius maintained a part-time presence in Vancouver and led several pilgrimages to Europe, South America, and Asia.
Over his fifty years’ span as pastor, Fr. Aloysius touched the lives of many. His presence was found in every facet of our lives, through baptisms, sacraments, housewarmings, marriages, celebrations, and beside hospital beds. We have known him as a pastor, teacher, confessor, counsel, brother, and a friend. Father fell ill in the beginning of 2022 and bravely fought his illness. He passed away peacefully on May 20, 2022, in the comfort of his home. At the end of his life, Fr. Aloysius felt that he found contentment and fulfillment in his life as a priest, servant, man of prayer, preacher of the Word, mediator and man of the people.

Tired of watching the family dog run away for days on the prairies, they moved to Richmond in 1941. Their first home in BC was on Cambie Road, in the new chicken coop, built by her father. If hard work and dedication to family and God earns you a ticket to heaven, Margaret possesses an Express Pass. She met the love of her life, Ed at a house party in Richmond when he answered the dare of a friend to kiss her, and he did. They married within days of her 19th birthday and were inseparable for 61 years. In recent years she often mentioned that she never received any love letters, but in truth her life with Ed was a love letter for the ages. Her circle of friends and family, who have passed on will welcome her, as she joins Ed in a long awaited reunion. She will be missed by her large and close knit family, her friends from St Jude & Good Shepherd Churches, plus the people she served in 47 years of working for White Spot.

+++GOMES MCDONALL, Mary Jasmim "MJ"
February 20, 2021 - March 16, 2022
It is with tremendous sadness we mark the passing of our angelic little girl, MJ.
Born 10 weeks early, MJ battled her way out of the NICU ahead of schedule, as she was excited to be home with her family. Then, tragically, in late May of 2021, she was diagnosed with leukemia.
MJ underwent intense chemotherapy, which sadly did not work. The doctors then pivoted to a bone marrow transplant. MJ was so strong throughout the process, but sadly, this too, did not work.
At that time, her doctors said she had a week left to live. She wound up living almost two more months, providing us with a lifetime of giggles, love and joy. When the leukemia became too much for her body to handle, she passed peacefully, with no pain, in the arms of her mother and father.
She is survived by her mother Jessica, her father Cory, her grandmothers Brenda and Jesuina, her grandfather Francisco, her aunt Michele, her uncle Jefferson, her cousin Theo and her godmother Silvania and godfather Aspaan.
Funeral Mass was celebrated at Blessed Sacrament Parish on Saturday, March 26, 2022 with burial at North Vancouver Cemetery.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Helena Galas on Saturday, February 12, 2022, at the age of 80 years. After many years of battling cancer and increasing difficulty with mobility, Helena succumbed to her body’s illness.
Helena will be dearly missed by brother Robert Swynar (Terri), and sister Christine Pearse, along with many, many friends in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and relatives in Poland and the Ukraine.
Helena was born in Podkamien, to Roman Galas and Josephine (nee Ochowych), and came to Calgary, Canada at the age of 16. She quickly learned English and took up hairdressing while earning a mechanical design degree at SAIT in Calgary. From Calgary she moved to Edmonton and made many friends there while working for the government. To minimize the health effects of a devastating car accident in her early 20’s, Helena moved to Vancouver in the late ‘60s. She worked as a Senior Mechanical Designer in Vancouver, then took early retirement while running a small bed and breakfast. She maintained a beautiful garden of flowers inside her home as well as outside. Helena loved being with her many friends and travelled to the old country and Europe many times.
Faith was an integral part of Helena’s life and when she was well, she regularly attended St. Mary’s Ukrainian Church in Vancouver. She was proud to be a member of the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League and she often volunteered with fundraising activities and local charities in the Vancouver area. She enjoyed serving at many functions in the company of her Ukrainian friends.
Helena was a kind, generous, compassionate, and caring lady. She was always positive and willing to help those in need before herself. She was our best friend, our most precious gift, always and forever in our hearts.
A special Thank You is sent to all the Doctors, Nurses, and Staff at Lions Gate Hospital, and the North Shore Hospice, for their care and compassion during Helena’s last weeks.
Funeral Service (Divine Liturgy) will be held on Friday, March 4, 2022, at 10:30 am, St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church (550 West 14 Avenue Vancouver).
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Helena’s memory to a charity of your choice.

Introduction
The Modern Biographical Files are located in the Navy Department Library's Rare Book Room. They are a combination of files collected by the Library and a ready reference collection of duplicate flag officer files formerly housed in the Archives Branch of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
These files have been accumulated since the early 20th century by the Navy Department Library to provide historical information to US Navy personnel and other researchers, both official and unofficial. The files are particularly noted for biographical coverage of senior U.S. Navy officers who served during the Second World War and the Cold War-era, though their contents range from the Interwar period (1919-1939) through the War on Terrorism. For biographical information from the late 18th through the early 20th centuries, see the Navy Department Library's ZB files and Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps 1775-1900 ]. Also see Navy Personnel: A Research Guide.
Many of the files consist of individual officer biographies produced during the 1950s through the 1970s by the Navy Office of Information, Internal Relations Division; the Navy Office of Information, Biographies Branch; and the Division of Naval Records and History (OP 29). Additional material consists of newspaper clippings, journal articles, change of command/retirement brochures, and biographies printed from the websites of the Navy Chief of Information and Arlington National Cemetery. Materials continue to be added to these files. Although a majority of the files consist of between two to four pages, a few contain up to four linear inches of material.
Use and Reproduction Policy
Biographical files are unavailable for loan and must be consulted in the library. With regard to non-copyrighted materials, the use of digital cameras without flash is encouraged. Photocopying is generally prohibited, though permission to photocopy a few pages may be granted by the Reference staff, contingent upon the physical state of the documents. All photocopying of materials shall be done by the Reference staff, or under their close supervision. The use of personal scanners by non-library staff must be approved by the Reference staff on a document-by-document basis (Reference: Naval Historical Center Instruction [NAVHISTCENTINST] 5070.1C.).
Web Accessibility Statement
Many of the documents on the NHHC Web site are in HTML or ASCII (plain text) formats. These formats are generally accessible to people who use screen readers. We also have a large number of documents in Adobe Acrobat® Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF format is used to preserve the content and layout of our hard copy publications. Publications in PDF can only be viewed and printed using the Adobe Acrobat Reader®, version 3.0 or higher. You can download and get help using the Acrobat Reader at the Adobe Systems, Inc. site. The downloadable Acrobat Reader software is available at NO CHARGE from Adobe.
Please note, there is a known issue with paragraph, or <p></p> tags appearing at the beginning of PDF files, which may cause difficulties with some screen readers. We are working with our vendor on a fix for this issue. If you are experiencing difficulties, and would like obtain this information in a different format, please email us: [email protected].

|
Two weeks after my husband, E., was diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease that has no treatment or cure, he left me. At the time, we were preparing to depart on a long-planned family trip to Washington, D.C. Without warning, he declined to join us. He insisted that I take the kids without him, saying he preferred to stay back and clean out the garage. Objecting and pleading accomplished nothing, so I acquiesced. Maybe he just needed time alone to process what the diagnosis meant: His career was essentially over, and in some unknown period of time, life as he knew it would end too.
While we toured museums and national monuments, E. called, texted, and emailed daily to offer love and assurances. As we waited for him outside baggage claim after a long day of flying, I couldn’t wait to fall asleep in his arms. He arrived in my car rather than his van — weird, considering we had so much luggage, but I was too tired to care. He hesitated briefly before stepping out to hug us warmly. My children from a previous marriage, 9 and 11 at the time, adored him and chatted nonstop while I held his hand, which trembled slightly as his thumb stroked my palm.
At home, my spirits lifted with the garage door. The interior was sparkling. He beamed when I kissed and complimented him. Together, we pulled the suitcases toward the porch to greet our German shepherd.
One step inside changed everything. My eyes scanned the living room, taking inventory before I could process what it meant. Missing furniture? He didn’t even allow me to set down the bags before he said, “By the way … I moved out and filed for divorce.”
“What? What?” Gasps, not words.
“I filed for divorce!” he repeated loudly, as if I hadn’t heard him the first time.
I asked to speak with him outside. My chest tightened as I held a hand against the garage wall for balance. “You called and wrote affectionate notes every day,” I said, as if this evidence might change the outcome. “Just a few hours ago, you said you loved me and missed me and couldn’t wait for us to come home! What happened?”
“Oh.” He shrugged. “Those were all lies.”
From there, the strangeness escalated. I soon discovered that he had driven my car to the airport because his contained the pistol, shotgun, and hollow-point ammunition that he owned and didn’t want me to know he was taking from the house. Then a process server, obviously prearranged but completely unexpected to me, roared up the hill on a motorcycle to issue an order to prevent me from telling anyone about E.’s illness — after he’d been the one to suggest to me that we co-write a book about it. The next day E. returned to our house, walked in the front door as if nothing had happened, and asked me out on a date. He thought Italian might be nice.
So … what now? I wanted to stay with my husband because I loved him, because I wanted to help him maintain his quality of life for as long as possible with the utmost compassion as we navigated the present and future together, and because he was no longer capable of making a decision that could affect his health and safety. Divorce papers didn’t change my desires or absolve me of my responsibilities. And what about the welfare of others? His driving had grown unpredictable. What if he injured or killed someone with his car? Or did something illegal or deleterious or inappropriately sexual? Or propelled us into debt? All were plausible with someone dealing with frontotemporal dementia. According to UCSF’s Weill Institute for Neurosciences, frontotemporal dementia results from the degeneration of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, which control decision-making, behavior, emotion, and language. It is irreversible and often strikes at younger ages — between 40 and 65 — when people are at the peak of their careers. Symptoms include language dysfunction, movement disorders, and changes in behavior and thinking.
Right after the diagnosis, I thought we were in the middle of a medical crisis— together, in a marriage that had been intimate and strong. Now I was facing dilemmas I’d never imagined. What should I do to help him, the children we were parenting together, his colleagues, the community, myself? Try to declare him incompetent to fight the divorce and save him from himself? Was that the most compassionate and empathetic course of action?
Before E.’s symptoms began, our relationship had been emotionally, intellectually, and physically vibrant, embodied in a true partnership. He welcomed and treated my children as his own. We sought and honored each other’s advice. We made each other laugh. He brought me coffee at five o’clock every morning before we ran seven miles at a relentless pace, always leaving me feeling a step behind.
We were 37 and 58 when we married; our first years together passed so energetically that I can’t recall when he began having trouble processing information, assembling a sentence, or completing tasks that should have been simple for him. There’s no report: Ah, yes, it started the Thursday after the Super Bowl, and everything went downhill from there. Onset is subtle and sporadic and nonlinear.
Over many months, his behavior became more erratic — in stark contrast to his previous disposition. This included drastic mood swings and a tenuous grasp on reality or outright lying; an inability to manage finances at home, a budget at work, and many duties in a leadership job in which he had been a star; dubious investments we could not afford; secretive communication and back-alley meetings with thieves to buy back his computer after it was stolen from our home; false accusations toward my son for stealing E.’s shoes; vacillation between his usual affection and seething responses such as, “You disgust me!”; a Valentine’s Day card that celebrated our love and teamwork with an added sticky note that read, “You are not suicidal.” I tried to persuade him to see a doctor, repeatedly, without success. “You’re the problem,” he said in a disparaging (and highly uncharacteristic) tone. “You ask too many questions and cause me stress.”
During this confusing time, before any sort of diagnosis, we met up with his former colleagues for a work event. When I discovered that these physicians feared he might have a frontal lobe brain tumor, I used their concern to facilitate an honest and poignant conversation with E. one night. When he finally acknowledged his difficulties, I curled up against him and cried. My arms pulled him close — not a hug as much as the desperate clinging that comes when you start to understand what you are losing, what you’ve already lost.
Tears ran down his face, which seemed oddly vacant. “Are you crying for me?” he asked. “Or are you crying for you? Or for us?”
“All,” I answered.
“Don’t leave me, Katherine.”
“Never.”
I did not let go of him for the rest of the night.
On our way to see the first neurologist, he said to his closest friend, “I hope it’s a brain tumor.” No matter how tragic, he wanted something defined, understood, buttressed with a treatment protocol.
After an intensive, three-day assessment that came later, the medical team explained that his primary progressive aphasia was a form of frontotemporal dementia. The cause of the abnormal folding or deposits of proteins that lead to these impairments is uncertain; most people have no family history of this or any other type of dementia.
People with frontotemporal dementia are often misdiagnosed with psychiatric disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or Parkinson’s disease. It can take years to obtain an accurate diagnosis. The number who remain misdiagnosed (or undiagnosed) is difficult to identify.
Dementia, memory loss, and Alzheimer’s disease are not necessarily interchangeable terms. It’s more complicated. Dementia is a syndrome that can describe many symptoms and actions, including behavioral changes and a decline in cognitive function and emotional control. Memory loss may not be a factor until later, if at all. Alzheimer’s disease, which usually begins with memory issues, is the most common cause of dementia, but there are several other sources as well. These can be hard to differentiate. Pathologies mingle. And a diagnosis may not even be definitive until an autopsy can be performed.
In addition to communication difficulties that eventually would leave E. mute and unable to comprehend, the medical team highlighted lapses in judgment and insight, emotional blunting and an absence of empathy, delusions and paranoia, deficits in planning and other executive functions, irritability and impulsivity, financial ineptitude, motor control problems, obsessive behavior, and severe changes in personality — all of which I had already experienced. They also explained that some people become aggressive — verbally, physically, or sexually. And his driving and firearms? Definitely problems.
Prior to the medical evaluation, he was deeply affectionate, cried often, and wrote me tender notes. One read, I’m sorry I’m not the man you married. When we left the doctor’s office, he glowered at me, furious that I had spoken truthfully to the medical team, who sent us home with minimal instruction. He demanded that I keep his diagnosis confidential, even from his adult children. Intellectually, I understood that holding onto his identity as long as he could was a primal response. But emotionally, it tore me apart. Only anguish and loneliness could penetrate my shock. I also became afraid of what he would do, given that he was not in control of himself much of the time. I delayed telling friends, including those who suspected something was wrong, but found myself sneaking away to call my father, desperately searching for support. When E. caught me in one of these conversations, his wrath was frightening.
I tried to explain to my children, who not only had witnessed unsettling encounters but had found themselves unwitting targets. They responded, “Mom, we know it’s in his brain,” and showed incredible patience and sensitivity in their interactions with him. Another surreptitious conversation with his second-in-command at work took all the courage I could summon. When I reached out to the medical team, the social worker responded that I had a “moral obligation” to tell his children because he could be “a danger to himself and others.” When I spoke with his children, I tried to present facts cogently. But the unsteadiness in my voice revealed my fear that they might not believe me — especially since I waited until he filed for divorce to say anything, which I knew could be interpreted as something resembling bitterness (on a good day). They were kind and receptive at the time, but whatever he said to them later ended all communication between us, even as my relationship with him continued.
It took me a long time to realize how much damage I had done (and continued to do) by rewriting all of his emails, speaking for him, completing his expert witness evaluations, and doing portions of his job throughout the previous year. His role at work had required him to give public remarks, and this continued briefly, even as his responsibilities shifted. On one occasion when he was honored in front of several hundred people, he asked me to greet guests with him, take over conversations he could not manage, and deliver a speech that I had written for him. While my only objective was to help him, the actual result was that few people understood the severity of his limitations, which he could cover up in brief exchanges over lunch or during a run.
It came down to this: Anyone who had not spent every minute with us could not understand the true context of what was happening, or the complexity of what we were enduring. It simply wasn’t possible.
The combination of impending death and divorce was agonizing, often spinning me away from reasonable thought. I sought counsel from ethicists and attorneys, who gave me conflicting advice. Battling the divorce seemed like a moral imperative. Plus, I had promised never to leave. My devotion was steadfast, and the concept of breaking that oath anathema to me. Yet what felt like an act of compassion grew so tangled and nebulous that I could not find my way through it.
Eventually, that battle threatened my children’s welfare, my health, and my finances without benefiting him the way I intended. So I capitulated without walking away — simultaneously vowing to continue helping him however I could as I settled into a townhouse with my children and started a new job. After forbidding the doctors from speaking with me right after he filed for divorce, he soon asked me to accompany him to appointments, where I noticed that almost nobody understood what was really happening. E. and I exercised, went out on dinner dates, attended social events, and occasionally slept together. In those moments of intimacy, precarious and unsafe as they were, I knew my husband again. He reached out to me when any problems arose. One night, for example, I answered a call to hear him yelling that he was going blind. Yet he could not explain to me — or the doctor I took him to see — what had happened. On two separate occasions, months apart, he asked me to remarry him.
For two years after the divorce, he continued to vacillate between detached abandonment and romantic courting, paranoia and altruism, confusion and some version of his astute self. A mix of fear, determination, and a lifelong mind-set as an endurance athlete pushed me from one day to the next. The instability and heartache — for him, for us — was exacting, but my commitment to “do the right thing” did not waver. At the center was my love for him. But it might also have been about the way I was raised, or my desire to mitigate the shame around the demise of a second marriage, or because any tangible action made me feel like a better person, like someone I’d read about in a romanticized caregiving story, for a few minutes.
Over time, however, his behavior worsened, and the cruelty and risks obliterated the hopeful moments. The continual yearning, rejoicing and mourning, a destructive cycle worse than death, demanded emotional distance. Otherwise, the illness would have taken all of us. And I knew he didn’t want that.
During and after E.’s diagnosis, I looked to my father, the person I trusted most, to guide me through this heart-rending maze. And he did, with tremendous aplomb and wisdom — until he couldn’t. He and I shared the typical distant closeness of fathers and daughters, strengthened by my absolute faith in his presence. When it looked like I might need to appear in court without an attorney, he prepared me. He helped me navigate other legal and ethical quandaries. Mostly, he remained calm and rational whenever I broke down crying. He was one of few people who could listen carefully and process complex information without trying to convince me that if I just talked to E. a certain way, or conducted myself differently, everything could be repaired. Dad didn’t try to change anything. A skilled adjudicator, he examined the facts and steered me toward the least dreadful of the terrible choices — a recurring theme throughout these years. I felt like a diver rising from extreme depths and darkness, unable to see the way up, at risk for blackout and decompression sickness. My father was the anchor line directing me to the surface, and I held onto him as if my life depended on it.
Then, a few years later, Dad began exhibiting symptoms and behaviors that were eerily familiar, including cognitive decline and paranoia, and something new: hallucinations. A former collegiate running back, he had always been nimble and preternaturally ageless. Signs also featured parkinsonism — his six-and-a-half-feet-tall frame stooped, an impressive stride turned slow and shuffling, his balance was compromised, his clear, booming voice quieted to a soft mumble.
These two beloved men once seemed invincible to me. Both had competed as intercollegiate athletes at Stanford and Yale, and maintained that same extraordinary level of fitness throughout their lives. They possessed a blend of intelligence and perseverance that allowed E. to achieve success in a career as a research and clinical oncologist and administrator, and my father, a Navy SEAL in Vietnam, to become an attorney and judge. Now both were battling dementia that ended their lives long before the finality, clarity, and grace of death.
This time, I was fairly sure I knew what was happening, especially after he gave me permission to speak with his primary-care physician, who agreed that Dad might have Lewy body dementia, the second most common cause of progressive dementia behind Alzheimer’s. The condition affects a person’s ability to think, reason, and process information. It also causes movement disorders, and is closely related to Parkinson’s disease. Common symptoms include visual hallucinations and sleep disturbances as well.
Subjects in which Dad possessed lifelong expertise now eluded him. Managing finances and comprehending time also became challenges. New fixations appeared in endless loops. Other times the coherent raconteur returned, responding with a pithy remark, a keen observation, or a well-timed joke before drifting back into a state of confusion.
But my awareness did not alleviate my distress. There was little to do but try to prevent disaster (eased slightly when Dad volunteered to stop driving and asked for help with finances) while bearing witness to the erosion of the person I loved, the person who was the foundation of my existence. I worked the phones, wrote emails, recruited help. Ultimately, I did the best I could, in my own flawed way, one day at a time.
About a year after I first addressed my concerns about Dad’s well-being with him and his wife, my stepmother, he told me he was going to surprise her at the airport, after a trip, with divorce papers. He was certain — erroneously — that she was having an affair with his best friend and former colleague.
Dad’s divorce obsession regained momentum later, when he claimed that his wife was acting aggressively toward him, a belief he repeated vehemently in phone calls to me. At one point, he left the house in his pajamas, clutching important papers and smoldering with distrust. As the latest crisis reached a pinnacle, more than two years after our initial discussion, the doctor instructed his wife to take Dad to the emergency room. From there, he was transferred to a psychiatric ward and then to a secure memory center with 24-hour supervisory care. He never came home.
Again I bathed in a mix of sorrow, fury, and helplessness.
At various points during these journeys with Dad and E., my previous unknowing insensitivity to others ricocheted back to me. I recalled the silent reaction of a friend whose husband’s brain cancer left him prone to fits of abusive behavior, when I told her that he “looked great!” Later, I apologized and acknowledged that I had not understood how painful it could be when someone essentially negates or dismisses our reality with a forced infusion of positivity, no matter how well-meaning. She said, “Now you can help others understand.” On another occasion, I spoke with a neighbor whose wife also had brain cancer. Did friends who inquired after his wife’s health ever ask about him, I wondered? “Yes,” he replied. “But they don’t understand my answers.” The next time I saw him, I stopped the car, stepped out, and hugged him. No questions. No conversation. Just a small gesture of compassion.
A few people accused me of divorcing my husband the minute he became ill. Such vicious gossip — especially when the opposite was true — baffled and devastated me. Others dismissed our circumstances, treating me as if I’d been through (yet another) divorce that was a manifestation of a failed marriage.
We never really know other people’s marriages and homes and circumstances and struggles the way we think we do.
Some people felt compelled to inform me that I wasn’t a caregiver because I didn’t face, as so many others must, daily feeding, bathing, and other aspects at the base of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. Perhaps not, but I gave the men I loved the concern and care I could. I helped with safety, medical care, general health, and finances — up close and from afar — imperfectly. I always wanted to do more, as if the next assignment could reassemble the broken pieces and make the person well again.
Only when I figured out how to stop and do nothing did I experience the most consequential moments. One morning, when Dad could no longer walk or engage in conversation, I pushed him in a wheelchair beside the nearby bay. We paused and sat quietly together, inhaling the reassuring scent of salt water. When I reached for his hand, he sighed with gratitude. It was a sound I will never forget; everything faded behind that simple human touch.
He died the next day.
My last visit with E., shortly after my father’s death, was similar. Verbal communication was impossible. I sat with him, saying and doing little beyond showing him a few pictures and holding his hand. His thumb stroked my palm with a familiarity that replaced any last words we might have spoken.
The day we scattered Dad’s ashes at sea, E. died. I placed two flowers in the ocean.
In the time E. and I were together before and after the divorce, I often asked him, “What can I do? How can I help you?” Perhaps I wanted that checklist, something to accomplish or assuage my feelings of inadequacy and guilt.
He always replied, “Just love me.”
I wish I had understood sooner how much, yet how little, this requires.
No matter how many years pass, I’m fairly sure my stories will never be what people want to hear. But in their own messy way, they’re still love stories.

Gloria and Dean Horstman of Savannah, Ga., shared 69 years as husband and wife. She loved books. He loved computers before anyone knew to call him a “computer geek.” Most of all, they loved each other and their family, four sons who did them proud. Gloria’s declining condition was taking its toll. On March 12, Dean visited his wife in the hospital. Seeing her in such a state left him frazzled. Driving himself home, he was involved in an automobile accident, suffering injuries too severe to overcome. Gloria J. Horstman died on April 5, 2024. She was 91. Dean Lewis Hor ...

Robin and Marian
Arguably the figure most closely associated with Nottinghamshire, it's hard not to mention Robin without reference to Marian.
There's still debate over who he was and if he actually existed but that hasn't stopped the village of Edwinstowe laying claim to being the place where Robin and Marian were married.
After all, the village lies on the edge of Sherwood Forest, so there's a chance the couple often popped down to the local hostelry when they were courting!
Nowadays, our views of Robin and Marian are influenced by movies staring the likes of Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. But for a more ancient perspective take a look at the tale of Robin Hood and Maid Marian.
Byron - Poet, Letter Writer and Lover
Take a Valentine's stroll around Newstead Abbey and there's a good chance you'll be inspired to write a verse.
Lord Byron's romantic poems have certainly stood the test of time.
His interpretation of Don Juan is often thought to be a reflection of his varied love life.
Lady Caroline Lamb, Lady Oxford, Augusta Leigh and Lady Frances Webster are but four ladies with whom he is alleged to have been closely related.
Annabella Milbanke became his wife and bore him a daughter. But the marriage didn't last and Byron left the British Isles never to return. His time abroad resulted in more romances and illegitimate children. Don Juan indeed.
Lady Chatterley and all things naughty
Who would have thought Eastwood could have produced something as steamy as Lady Chatterley's romance with Mellors.
But the town's most famous son, DH Lawrence, wasn't content to produce one couple so willing to perform in public (or at least between the pages of a paperback).
In The Rainbow and Sons and Lovers more complicated relationships were developed. Two of the central characters in The Rainbow reappeared in Women In Love.
Lawrence explored the romantic ups and the downs of Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen. While Ursula found love with Rupert Birkin, her sister's relationship with industrialist Gerald Crich was far less satisfactory.
Lusty weekends
DH influenced many people including writers from Nottinghamshire. So it's no surprise to find the lusty Arthur Seaton appearing in Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.
In both novel and film Seaton's deeds shocked many a reader/viewer. His dalliance with married neighbour Brenda caused quite a stir at the time, not least because Brenda enjoyed the lovemaking just as much as young Arthur.
Don't step into the shower
Strange as it may seem, one true Nottingham romance concerns the master of suspense - film director Alfred Hitchcock.
He might have referred to actors as cattle but I'm sure he never called his wife Alma a cow! The connection? Alma Hitchcock was born in Nottingham and played a major role in many of Hitch's finest works - even Psycho!
Loveable sports personalities
Notts has a strong love with sporting personalities.
You can't get away from the fans love of former Nottingham Forest manager Brian Clough or former Reds defender Stuart "Psycho" Pearce.
Old big 'ed Brian Clough is almost as famous as Robin Hood. And like the famous outlaw, Brian and Stuart are loved and hated across the county. The reason is simple. For every Forest fan who holds them up as gods, there are probably just as many Notts County and Mansfield supporters who could never bring themselves to admit they were any good!
Love on thin ice
Love, of course, doesn't always run smoothly. Sadly for fans of Nottingham ice skaters Torvill and Dean, it never ran at all.
The world, it seemed, desperately wanted the Olympic gold medallists to become an item. But Jayne and Chris never got it together. They both found love - but not with each other.
For the good folk of Nottinghamshire it's a romance they can only dream about.

Alan Burke was a man with a great sense of humor, a passion for truth and justice, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend, and a keen spotter of bad grammar.
In 1948 Dennis W. and Iona (Allen) Burke welcomed home their third child, Alan, on April 22nd in Detroit, Michigan. Joining his older siblings, Patrick and Diane, and later followed by his baby sister, Colleen, his childhood was filled with many happy and memorable moments. Holidays were especially anticipated as they were always shared with his beloved Uncle Maurice and Aunt Blanche, and his favorite Aunt Louise.
Born to a set of hard-working parents, Alan appreciated hard work from an early age. He thought he should earn his keep, so at the age of 10 he took on a paper route for the Detroit News. Since he was underage for a route, he “borrowed” his brother Pat’s name and age and went into business as a young entrepreneur. He claims his parents kidnapped him and moved him to Michigan City when he was 14. The saving grace is that he and his dad stopped in Paw Paw, the home of his Detroit Tigers hero, Charlie Maxwell, as they moved to their new home.
In 1966, he graduated from Elston High School. His father, an Irish immigrant, was a strong advocate for all the educational opportunities available in the United States. He encouraged Alan to pursue his education and Alan was admitted to the University of Notre Dame in the fall of 1966. During his undergraduate years, he made lifelong friends: Pasquale Leonardo, Mike Prendergast, and Tom Schaller. They shared adventures through the years including 2023. The turning point in Alan’s life was in the summer of 1968. While working a summer job at Arno Tape Manufacturers, he was involved in a serious accident leaving his right hand badly injured. As he framed it, he was no longer right-hand determinant, but left-hand requirement. His Aunt Louise became his teacher in learning how to write and how to perform daily tasks with his left hand.
Since Alan was no longer a candidate to become a brain surgeon (a conversation he had with the ER doctor on the day of his accident), he applied to and was accepted by Notre Dame Law School, graduating in 1973. He was hired as an attorney at the Northern Indiana Legal Defenders Office. Since Legal Services was a federally funded program (read de minimus salary) Alan moved his young family to Rochester, IN in 1978 and joined in a private practice with Richard Kehoe. Alan found his niche as a small-town lawyer and thrived in Rochester. He was honored and respected by members of the community for his knowledge, professionalism, and humanity.
Alan met Rosemary in December 1985. She knew immediately he was the man of her dreams; he was attracted to her hot pink socks. A little shy, it took him a minute to recognize his destiny, but when his friend Charlie told him “If you don’t ask her out, I will” he picked up the pace. They were married on August 22, 1987, on the banks of St. Mary’s Lake on the campus of Notre Dame.
Alan loved to laugh and to make others laugh. He was known to intimidate would be boyfriends of his daughters by claiming the garbage can just run over by the boyfriend was a family heirloom. He once threw himself on the floor of a department store when Katie said she would like a jacket at the price of $35.00. (The staff thought he had a heart attack). He showed up at a friend’s 40th birthday celebration pretending to be a cranky octogenarian. He scared the living daylights out of Jennifer’s 8th grade friends pretending to be Quasimodo.
Alan was both a philosopher and a writer. His eulogy for his father speaks to both of these attributes and to Alan himself:
“It seems to me that any life can be a parable – a story that teaches lessons. And if the person whose life we are talking about was a parent, then for better or worse, it will be a parable. My father’s life taught me many lessons.
Lesson One: We are placed on this earth to learn how to love. If we work at it and are lucky, we have a spouse upon whom we can practice this most important life work. And if we are any good at it with our spouse, maybe it will move out to our children. And if we work really hard, maybe that love will continue to move outward in concentric circles to our neighbors, our co-workers, the person we have just met, and maybe even the guy who cuts us off in traffic.
Lesson Two: We must carry in our hearts, at all times, an abiding passion for justice. I remember a Saturday when I was about eight years old, and I had the privilege to go with my father to his office in Detroit. We were driving down a major road with four lanes in each direction separated by a large grassy median. Block after block, the median was virtually full of men who were just standing there. And all these men, hundreds of them, were black. I asked my father why these men were standing there. He said, “They are just like me. They want to work; they want to support their families. But they can’t find work. So they stand there each day hoping that someone who needs some laborers for a day will stop and give them a day’s work.” Even at age eight, I could recognize that it wasn’t chance that my white father was driving to work while these black men were desperately seeking it.
Lesson Three: Laughter is more than just a social convention or a way to break the ice. Laughter is an important analgesic for the soul. It helps bind people together. My father was a master teller of jokes, a real raconteur, until his later years when he would forget the punchline. He would flawlessly tell the build-up to the joke and then get to the punchline; stop; look a little bewildered; then turn to my mother who understood, as only long-married couples can read the non-verbal language of their spouse, that he was asking for help. She, having heard my father tell the joke many times before, would then deliver the punchline. The joke, whether or not it was the least bit funny would always bring uproarious laughter because of the delivery by this unlikely comic duo.
What hadn’t occurred to me until I delivered this little speech to the assembled family and friends in the church was that Lessons Two and Tree are really just derivative, or naturally flow from, Lesson One. My father’s abiding passion for justice; his reaching out to others through humor was his way of putting into practice, every day, Lesson One. Thanks Dad, for the parable that was your life.”
Alan’s eulogy for his father completely sums up his own philosophy, his grace, his tenderness for all of humanity. He will be deeply missed. His trademark humor, style, and compassion will be remembered by all who loved and knew him.

Introduction
The Modern Biographical Files are located in the Navy Department Library's Rare Book Room. They are a combination of files collected by the Library and a ready reference collection of duplicate flag officer files formerly housed in the Archives Branch of the Naval History and Heritage Command.
These files have been accumulated since the early 20th century by the Navy Department Library to provide historical information to US Navy personnel and other researchers, both official and unofficial. The files are particularly noted for biographical coverage of senior U.S. Navy officers who served during the Second World War and the Cold War-era, though their contents range from the Interwar period (1919-1939) through the War on Terrorism. For biographical information from the late 18th through the early 20th centuries, see the Navy Department Library's ZB files and Officers of the Continental and U.S. Navy and Marine Corps 1775-1900 ]. Also see Navy Personnel: A Research Guide.
Many of the files consist of individual officer biographies produced during the 1950s through the 1970s by the Navy Office of Information, Internal Relations Division; the Navy Office of Information, Biographies Branch; and the Division of Naval Records and History (OP 29). Additional material consists of newspaper clippings, journal articles, change of command/retirement brochures, and biographies printed from the websites of the Navy Chief of Information and Arlington National Cemetery. Materials continue to be added to these files. Although a majority of the files consist of between two to four pages, a few contain up to four linear inches of material.
Use and Reproduction Policy
Biographical files are unavailable for loan and must be consulted in the library. With regard to non-copyrighted materials, the use of digital cameras without flash is encouraged. Photocopying is generally prohibited, though permission to photocopy a few pages may be granted by the Reference staff, contingent upon the physical state of the documents. All photocopying of materials shall be done by the Reference staff, or under their close supervision. The use of personal scanners by non-library staff must be approved by the Reference staff on a document-by-document basis (Reference: Naval Historical Center Instruction [NAVHISTCENTINST] 5070.1C.).

Welch. Her family moved to Newbury, VT where she spent her childhood, attended school, and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Vermont mountains. Lorna was passionate and dedicated to whatever project she embraced in life. She left home to study English Composition at Keene State College for 2 years before returning to Newbury to support her family in tough times. She later ventured to Boston, and eventually Hartford, CT where she was a Quality Assurance Inspector for Pratt & Whitney. There, she met the love of her life, Peter. They quickly married. started a family, and set forth working together t. manage a large apartment complex. In 1971, Lorna and her family hit the road, traveling up the east coast to Prince Edward Island, researching family heritage, and living in a camper for almost a year- all the while enjoying the adventure. Next, Lorna moved to Randolph, ME where she and her husband built a home. The pair operated a boarding home for Veteran's who were adjusting to civilian life.
Lorna was a social worker, nutritionist, counselor, nurse, life skills coach, chef, and friend to many brave men. She took great pride in the care she provided and was the ultimate caregiver! She enjoyed being able to care for her daughter while running the boarding home and regularly provided childcare for many other children and friends. She also opened her home to her mother and brother, caring for them until they passed before her. After operating the boarding home for 33 years and with much encouragement she finally retired in 2006. Lorna was a wonderful, loving, fun, and creative daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. She reveled in all of life's details: reading, cooking, sewing, knitting, gardening, playing with children, crossword puzzles, music, dance, and theater. She especially loved animals, adopted strays, and always surrounded herself with as many as possible! She was good at everything she did and was always willing to learn something new. She taught all of us how to love unconditionally, enjoy life, and above all care for each other.
She will be greatly missed by those who are left behind: Peter K. Cain, husband; Crystal Cain Castro, daughter; Brian Castro, son-in-law; Ethan and Elijah Castro, grandsons; Nancianne Woodward, sister; Frank Woodward, brother-in-law; 5 treasured nieces and nephews; 13 great nieces and nephews; Kim Abbott, adopted daughter and her family; and a myriad of people she has touched along the way.

AUGUSTA -- Alice Ann Pratt, 50, died March 30, 2009, at Hospice House in Auburn.
Born in Augusta on March 22, 1959, she was the daughter of Stanley Lamont and Jean Elizabeth (Cloutier) Pratt. Her delivery was done by the late Lee W. Richards Jr., M.D.
Alice attended Hussey School, Williams School and Ella Hodgkins School, and was a 1977 graduate of Oak Grove-Coburn School in Vassalboro. While at Oak Grove, Alice spent hours in the riding ring and on the trails upon her favorite horse, Promise. She then studied art at Mount Ida College in Newton, Mass. Alice had a keen interest and appreciation for the works of the late Andrew Wyeth.
Alice enjoyed antiques auctions, sewing, crafts, gardening, cooking and making fleece blankets and pillows for others. She was a skilled chef and caterer and enjoyed experimental cooking. As a child, she had many fond memories of summers at Pine Cove on Three Mile Pond and also at the Cloutier-Carrier cottage on Rangeley Lake in Oquossoc. She and her many friends made numerous trips to Reid State Park and other coastal and distant destinations. Alice's first love was the family log cabin at the "lake." Alice and her brother, Jon, took great pride in the care of the gardens, grounds and waterfront.
On Aug. 4, 2008, Alice learned that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer. She fought her illness with dignity and courage, and never complained. Throughout the course of her illness, Alice met many people. She was an advocate for her own care and was not afraid to speak up if she had questions. Her medical records and pathology slides have been placed in the library at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston where Harvard Medical School students, faculty and other providers may access them for future research and treatment.
Alice was a member of St. Marks Episcopal Church in Augusta.
She was an avid animal lover who had many dogs and cats over the years. She also was known for getting treatment and placement for neglected or abused animals.
She worked at several jobs in her lifetime. For many years, Alice had been the office manager and a licensed funeral attendant at her family's former funeral homes, Laite & Pratt in Camden, and Gray & Pratt in Windsor. Alice was a resident of Windsor for several years. Her most enjoyable employment came from working for many years for several families in Maine and Greenwich, Conn., as a chef, au pair, gardener and driver. Alice once told of a man who she kept meeting each morning at the neighboring mailbox in Connecticut named George. After several weeks, she learned that her unshaved neighbor was George C. Scott. She was proud to live and work on a neighboring island beside the late Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, and a couple of summers ago prepared dinner for Gen. Alexander Haig.
Alice loved spending time with her sister and family in Sarasota, Fla., and East Greenwich, R.I. She was famous for cooking up "special requests" for her nephews. Her obituary photo shows her last fall at Warwick Country Club, where she enjoyed relaxing and spending time with family and friends. Alice loved to attend cousins' events at Boothbay Harbor with the numerous members of the extended Sutton family clan. Alice enjoyed skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Kingfield and Squaw Mountain in Greenville.
Her caregivers, in addition to her brother, Andy; Tracie Young Carolin; Lisa Kaye Pomerleau, RN; and Mark Sutton, were all with her until the end. Alice was grateful for the care and concern of the crews of Rescue 3 and Rescue 4 of the Augusta Fire Department.
She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Leon S. Pratt, DMD, and Ethelyn Sara (Halpen) Pratt; her maternal grandparents, Wilfred A. Cloutier and Carla (Weymouth) Cloutier; and her maternal grandmother, Alice (Eagan) Cloutier. Alice was also predeceased by Elaine (Pratt) Golden and Martha (Cloutier) Roscoe, aunts; and Theodore "Ted" Roscoe and Frederick W. Eaton, uncles.

Lawrence D. Gould
AUBURN - Lawrence David Gould (Larry), born April 26, 1934 in Dexter to Doris Bilodeau-Mayberry and Wayne Gould, passed away on the morning of March 30, 2009 surrounded by his loving family and lifelong friend, Walter "Scram" Bubier, at the Hospice House.
He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Bonnie Gould; his daughter Crystal Matthews and her husband Michael; his son David Gould and his wife Lana; his daughter Vickie Gould and her husband Dave Gideon; his granddaughter Araminta Matthews and her husband Abner Goodwin; his grandson Christopher Gould and his wife Jessica and their son Damien; his grandson Jeffrey Gould Jr. and his son Logan; his granddaughter Jennifer Gould and her son Tyler Carter; his granddaughters Michelle and Danielle Borden, his granddaughter Chantelle Belanger, his sister Audrey Bezanson of Florida; his aunt Elizabeth Vickery of Auburn; along with his extended grandchildren and great grand-children.

He joined the military at 17 and was trained as a machine gun instructor for the United States Army.

But, he is perhaps best remembered for his exquisite sense of humor -- he always had a joke ready for anyone who wanted to listen (or not).

Marilyn Gould
Marilyn 'Dee' Gould July 13, 1923- Dec. 24, 2008 FREEPORT -- Loving mother of four and grandmother of four, as well as mother figure to many more, Dee passed away unexpectedly from a cerebral hemorrhage on Dec. 24, 2008, surrounded by family, the way she liked it best. A true friend and mother to everyone who passed through her door, Dee will always be remembered as a woman who opened her heart and her home to all who knew her. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dee was raised in Philadelphia by her parents, Howard T. and Florence R. Mitchell. While attending the University of Pennsylvania and earning her bachelor's degree in education, she met Charles S. Gould, a young, dashing merchant mariner on a blind date arranged by her Alpha Chi Omega sorority sister. On Aug. 17, 1946, the two married and began their life together in New Brunswick, N.J. Dee taught kindergarten and Charlie worked towards his master's degree at Rutgers University. In 1954, Charlie, a sales representative at Dupont Chemical, was transferred to Maine and they settled there after a brief stint in Texas. In 1956, they moved to their home in South Freeport and raised their four children. Dee was a member of The South Freeport Congregational Church where she was a long time choir member (she had a voice like an angel), organist and junior choir director. A member of the Harraseeket Yacht Club, Dee was also politically active in town and county politics and was an accomplished piano player who even taught lessons for a few years. In 1966, Dee went back to work first at Job Corps in Poland Springs, then later, in 1970, as a psychiatric social worker at the Bridgeton Mental Health Clinic. Later in 1978, she transferred to Maine Medical Center where, in addition to her duties in the psychiatric unit, she did consultations in the ER and burn units. Dee's experiences made her a firm advocate of family participation. She once said, 'I'm a great believer in family involvement. People don't live in a vacuum, they live in a system with others. Mental illness represents great challenges, but with understanding comes acceptance.' No one knew more about family acceptance than Dee herself. After her retirement in 1990, she turned her attention and efforts to her family and friends, keeping up a long-standing Gould family tradition called 'Augustfest,' a family reunion held in their home for the past 30 years or so. Augustfest was an event which Dee planned and executed in her typical way-with tons of love and even more important perhaps, her 'meticulous' lists of everything from guests to menus to sleeping arrangements. No matter whether 10 people attended or 100, Dee was ready for anything. Dee is survived by her husband of 62 years, Charles S. Gould; her children, Charles M. Gould of Portland, Barbara L. Gould of Lincolnville, Matthew R. Gould of Falmouth, Mass., and James D. Gould of Natick, Mass.; and her four grandchildren, Louisa, Morgan, Steven and Danny; as well as many, many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends whom she considered her own. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to hospice or another charity of your choice Marilyn 'Dee' Gould

Philip Jagolinzer
Philip Jagolinzer, 71 SCARBOROUGH -- Philip Jagolinzer, 71, died peacefully on Nov. 1, 2008, at the Maine Medical Center.
Nearly two years ago, Phil was told that he had six months to live. Instead, his positive attitude kept him going much longer. When asked how he was doing, he always replied, 'getting better every day.'
Phil was born in Pawtucket, R.I. in 1937 to Charles and Lilyan (Lipson) Jagolinzer. Phil did his undergraduate work at Clark University. He later received an M.S. in Accounting at the University of Rhode Island, and a Ph.D., also in Accounting, at the University of Arizona. Early in his career, Phil worked for the U.S. Government Accounting Office in Washington, D.C. He then moved to Maine where he had a 37-year career as an accounting professor at the University of Southern Maine. In 1999, Phil was inducted into the American Accounting Association Northeast Region Hall of Fame for his outstanding service as an accounting academic. That same year, Phil published his first and only Cost Accounting textbook, which is still used in some college classrooms around the world. Phil liked to point out that more than 4,000 students had taken one or more of his accounting classes. He also was very proud of the many students that he counseled regarding accounting as a career choice. Twice during his tenure at USM, Phil took visiting professorships at other colleges - The University of Iowa and Arizona State University.
After his retirement from USM, he also taught for two spring semesters at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. In 1960, Phil married Ruth Press. Phil and Ruth had two sons, Bruce and Alan. Phil and Ruth later divorced. In 1984, he married Joan Robbins Bush. Phil is survived by his wife, Joan; son Bruce, Bruce's wife Karen, and their two sons, Ben and Sam, of Cumberland; son Alan, Alan's wife Connie, and their two daughters, Megan and Taylor, of Woodside, Calif.; step-daughter Judy Violette, Judy's husband George, and son, Joe, of Portland; and step-daughter Sue Dolloff of Honolulu, Hawaii, and Sue's son, Justin Pilotte, and daughter Niki Dolloff. He is also survived by his brothers Ken, of Wickenburg, Ariz., and Burt, of Newport, R.I., and their families. Phil loved being outdoors. He taught canoeing and sailing at summer camps, loved whitewater rafting, and three times rode the rapids of the Colorado River, through the Grand Canyon.

The Sandbaggers S1 (Network DVD)
Having been watching The Game on BBC2 recently, I was prompted to hunt out my DVD of another spy series set in the 1970s that was a big favourite of mine when I was growing up.

In late 1944 a plan for an atomic energy research establishment in England began to emerge, as the home of our scientists on their return from the wartime Anglo-French-Canadian atomic laboratory in Montreal. In bomb-damaged Britain the only means of getting a flying start for such an establishment was to take over a major airfield with its engineering workshops, roads, water supply and above all large hangars for large nuclear machines. It was judged at the time that the airfield had to be near the universities of either Oxford or Cambridge. Cambridgeshire sites were ruled out for one reason or another and the final choice lay between Benson and Harwell. The Station Commander at Benson argued convincingly that his site was too near a considerable number of houses; so the Downs above Harwell were chosen. The Air Ministry handed over on 1st January 1946.
Figure 9.1 The Atomic Energy Research Establishment about 1985.
The first Director of A.E.R.E. or Harwell, as it has come to be known, was Sir John Cockcroft, formerly director at Montreal. At the outset the establishment had no terms of reference other than the blueprint in his mind. This was to cover the whole nuclear fuel cycle from prospecting instruments for uranium through the production of uranium hexafluoride and metal to the handling of spent reactor fuel, and to isotopes for industry and medicine. Fifty per cent of the effort was to be basic research, and fifty per cent was to support power production research. The Government struggled to organise an overall nuclear programme which covered the research at Harwell, the work at the engineering establishments in the north and the weapons organisation which was about to be sited at Aldermaston. The whole complex was put under the control of the Atomic Energy Authority in 1954.
With the adoption of the first nuclear power programme in 1955, boosted in 1956-57 by the Suez crisis, A.E.R.E. grew to a total strength of over 6,000 workers spread over nearly 100 buildings. The site was becoming unwieldy and in quick succession, the National Institute for Research in Nuclear Sciences (now Science & Engineering Research Council) on the adjacent site in Chilton, a new reactor site at Winfrith in Dorset and a fusion establishment at Culham were formed.
By 1959 the United Kingdom nuclear power programme was slowed down, as it did not have the lead over coal and oil which had been expected. For the remaining programme, engineering effort was wanted, rather than more basic science. An act of Parliament allowed A.E.R.E. to diversify into some non-nuclear research, but further Government cuts in 1970 made A.E.R.E. attempt to get more work from commercial firms. The then Director, Walter Marshall (later Chairman of the C.E.G.B.) set about this and by 1974 achieved what had seemed to be impossible goals in selling science for hard cash. Manpower on the site was stabilised at over 4,000 and rose back to 4,500 by 1980. Major contracts secured have ranged from robot inspection of the country’s natural gas pipelines to the radiographic inspection of jet engines, and from the automatic sensing of defects on railway track to desalination in Hong Kong.
The Atomic Energy Research Establishment has had an enormous effect on its surrounding area. From 1931 to 1951 the population in nearby villages nearly doubled, while those further afield in Berkshire and Oxfordshire fell. There was almost the same rate of growth in Wantage and Abingdon. By 1985 A.E.R.E. was drawing its work force from towns up to twenty miles away; the whole of this area was covered by its own bus service that brought in one third of the workers. Total annual expenditure on the site was more than £90 million, of which £50 million comes from sales, mostly of research and development. It was one of the largest, if not the largest, research establishment in Europe.
Professor Skinner, one of the first senior scientists at A.E.R.E. commented upon the prefabs in verse (with apologies to Goldsmith):

Of the many hundreds of actors and actresses who have appeared in Crossroads over the years, many have already been established stars; others have gone on to stardom thanks to their start on the programme.
Jon Finch, now an established film star, was a raw, inexperienced actor when he made his TV debut in episode 947. He played a weird and rather off-beat character called Gareth Leyton, and played the role with great assurance. When he left Crossroads Jon went on to find international stardom.
Another young actor now in the superstar bracket who started out in Crossroads is Malcolm McDowell. He made his very first TV appearance on the programme in episode 643, way back when he was just twenty years old. Can you remember the part he played? Crispin Ryder, a PR consultant. After Crossroads, Malcolm went on to appear in TV series like Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green, then into films like A Clockwork Orange, If and Oh, Lucky Man.
Another young actor who appeared opposite Noele Gordon in the series, this time one with a famous father, was Andrew Ray, son of Ted.
Actors aren't the only people who have appeared on Crossroads. When someone was needed to play Monsieur Fabrice, who was demonstrating hair styles at Vera Downend's salon, the choice was an obvious one. Teazy Weazy Raymond had become a star of TV in the fifties, creating hair styles in a variety series called Quite Contrary. Who better to play Monsieur Fabrice? Incidentally, Teazy Weazy's wife, Rosalie Ashley, also appeared in the series for a while. She played Jane Mortimer, who died during a brain operation.
Critic and magician Clifford Davis discusses a point with guest Godfrey Winn
When a sequence of magic was needed in one episode, Clifford Davis, New Faces panellist and TV critic was called in. Clifford is also a professional magician, and was asked if he could suggest a way of levitating Diane, played by Sue Hanson. To create the stage illusion on TV would prove very difficult, so Clifford and the production team decided to use trick camera work instead. After Clifford's spot at the magic convention that was being held at the motel, actor Alan Haines took over and, thanks to trick camera shots and angles, seemed to make Sue float in the air. Millions of viewers were fooled, and the producer decided to end the show with a bang - with a shot of Amy Turtle floating in mid-air!
The popular comic Don McLean started out as an actor, and appeared on Crossroads, playing a member of Benny Wilmot's group, Georgie Saint and the Dragons. From that he went on to find fame as a comic - remember him on Crackerjack?

More than an hour before Mast Shoes opens on a Wednesday morning, Diane, fifty-nine, and William, fifty-seven, sit side-by-side inside the Westgate shop and sip Barry Bagels coffee. They wear what they sell—gray suede Dansko wedge boots for Diane, while William wears his new Keen hybrid hiking shoes. “Comfort can be stylish!” he says.

When William Pemberton’s twenty-six-year marriage ended in 2011, he says, “In a lot of ways I thought my life was over.” But as the longtime business manager of Mast Shoes, he’d always been close to his fellow staff members, whom he calls “a family.” And as he navigated his divorce, a coworker named Diane Rosecrans seemed to understand his challenges better than most.
“My parents were divorced when I was a kid, and my breakup with my first husband was painful,” she explains. “I just kept telling him that it does get better.”
They’d worked together about two years at that point, and William knew she loved art. So later that year, he asked if she’d like to take a drive to the Detroit Institute of Art.
“We were friends,” Diane says. “When he asked, I thought, ‘Is this a date? Or are we just buddies going to the DIA?’” (William hoped it was a date.)
She thought it was “really sweet he’d ask me to a place that he knew would be my ultimate great experience.” The DIA visit led to movies and dinners, and their friendship quickly turned to love. But the pair kept their romance a secret from coworkers.
Molly Mast-Koss was the first to notice their spark a couple months later. As the third-generation owner of Mast Shoes with her dad, Greg, she hosted a team-building cooking class for the staff. There was plenty of wine flowing, and, Molly recalls, “I thought I was seeing things.
“Out of the corner of my eye I see William’s hand rub Diane’s back,” Molly says. “I was both like ‘Okay … That’s awesome!’ And … ‘Uh-oh!’”
Soon after, William confirmed the sighting to Molly. He said the Masts didn’t need to worry: He wanted to marry Diane.
The couple wrote their own vows and tied the knot in Tecumseh on August 19, 2012, surrounded by the Mast family and employees. Best man and longtime friend and coworker Michael Grant, who’s known William—“Bill” to him—since the mid-1980s, joined other staff members in sharing their musical talents at the wedding: He played the guitar and sang John Prine’s “In Spite of Ourselves.”
Grant says the shoe store attracts “compassionate and creative people,” and that the Pembertons—Diane took William’s name—are a great example of that.
—
The couple were both born and raised in Michigan, and both had difficult childhoods. William grew up with three siblings in a poor family south of Cadillac. Diane grew up in Jackson with her two sisters as they grappled with their parents’ substance abuse, mental health issues, and depression.
After Diane’s parents split when she was eight, they moved often and changed schools five times as their mother had a series of relationships. Focusing on art became a “source of joy and refuge,” she says, and her teachers encouraged her to pursue it in college. She studied at U-M, the College for Creative Studies, and at Stanford as a visiting art student, finishing her degree at San Francisco Art Institute on a full scholarship.
When she was twenty-six, she moved to Ann Arbor and joined the Tsogyelgar Buddhist community at White Lotus Farms. “The teachers there took me in and changed my life drastically,” she says. She studied and lived with them until she found her own place. “I was a very, very happy single person,” she says, working at a bakery prior to Mast Shoes, doing her art, and practicing her meditation. “I never thought I’d marry again.” (She was married to her first husband for three years after a long-term relationship with him.)
When William was growing up, his dad was often unemployed, so his mom “held the family together with a long-haul delivery route for the Grand Rapids Press and by clipping coupons.” Through a “combination of talent and poverty,” he won a full scholarship to Interlochen Arts Academy, where he played tuba, which led him to U-M to study music.
At the time, Mast Shoes had a campus store on Liberty St., and in 1986, Tom Mast (Greg’s brother) hired William to work there. Soon after, he left U-M to marry and start a family. (He has two adult children: Jordan, thirty-two, and Maxwell, twenty-eight.)
In 2002, he combined his love of history with his love of music to cofound the River Raisin Ragtime Revue. Based in Tecumseh, it’s one of just three professional ragtime orchestras in the country. He plays tuba and serves as chair and executive director of the orchestra, which performs at Greenfield Village, the Henry Ford, and other venues.

More than an hour before Mast Shoes opens on a Wednesday morning, Diane, fifty-nine, and William, fifty-seven, sit side-by-side inside the Westgate shop and sip Barry Bagels coffee. They wear what they sell—gray suede Dansko wedge boots for Diane, while William wears his new Keen hybrid hiking shoes. “Comfort can be stylish!” he says.
The couple drive in to work each day from Tecumseh, taking the back roads from their 1826 Federal-style home filled with five cats. Believed to be the oldest continually lived-in house in Michigan, it’s where Mast Shoes coworkers gather for homemade oyster stew each Christmas Eve. “This year it was seventeen pounds” of oysters, William says.
As usual, they’ve both been up since 4 a.m. William uses the time to work on emails and grant applications for the Ragtime Revue, followed by tuba practice. On the other side of the house, Diane practices Vajrayana Buddhist meditation, which “trains your mind to be single-pointed and includes a lot of visualization … the art that comes from the practice is stunning.” She follows it with time in her art studio, where she works with acrylics and incorporates paper, fabrics, yarn, and threads into collages. She also does woodblock printmaking. She’s been commissioned to paint Buddhist subjects, murals, and portraits—as well as posters and CD covers for the Ragtime Revue. By the time they arrive at the store, Williams says they are “energized” after pursuing their individual interests, and ready for the workday.
“The most important thing she’s taught me is the patience,” William says of Diane. “Slowing down a little bit. Being more present. That’s a big Buddhist thing.” Also, he adds, “she’s really cute.”
“From the get-go I’ve been attracted to how kind he is to people,” Diane says. About half of Mast Shoes customers are referred by health care providers, so they see “lots of customers with different special needs [like] dementia or injuries” that require extra time, and she admires his “genuine concern for making a difference for folks.”
Sales associate Christa Krol, who’s among nine full-time employees who’ve arrived for their morning shifts, jokes that if she had to work every day with her husband, she’s sure there’d be times she’d “shoot daggers at him.” Krol says the Pembertons’ relationship is “an extension of how special this place is … Molly built this place to embody generosity and care and basic human kindness and compassion.
“I think these two are a really good reflection of what we do here.”

Why tie the knot with someone you have lived with for years – and what happens next? Three women share their stories

On the surface, marriage might not appear relevant to many Australians today. Indeed, most women and half of men say that’s so. De facto couples enjoy the same legal rights as their wedded counterparts, one in seven Australians are in a de facto relationship, and a new survey showed a 15% drop in marriage rates among young Australians between 2001 and 2021. Yet sometimes even long-term de facto couples are choosing to marry, even after decades (and multiple children) together.
Why? And more pertinently: after such a long time, does it change anything?
According to Dr Jessica Kean, a researcher in gender and intimate relationships at the University of Sydney, marriage is still an institution that is a “dense site of storytelling and meaning-making” about relationships, and those meanings are different for different people.
“There are still sectors of society who see marriage as the only true sign of commitment, so some people may want to marry in order to gain status or recognition in the eyes of others,” she says.
Those considering marriage, she says, should consider and talk about what marriage means to them and “what stories” they might be telling of themselves and their communities by taking part in this institution.

“Some queer de facto couples who have historically been excluded from marriage, [might marry if it’s] something they always wanted,” she says. “Ultimately the impact of marriage will depend on what it means to the people getting married, and to their communities.”
While most marriages are preceded by cohabitation, it is common to live in a de facto relationship without any intention of marrying; indeed, after a decade together most de facto couples would be considered to be either opposed to – or uninterested in – tying the knot.
So what of those who do wed after a little (or a lot) longer? Below, three women share their reasons for marriage after more than a decade with their partners.
‘It’s made zero difference to us’
Seana Smith’s mother always warned Seana against marriage. The warning stuck but, after 20 years and four kids with her de facto partner, Paul, the duo had to marry while planning a move to Saudi Arabia:
I met my husband, Paul, when I was 31 and we got pregnant very quickly. By the time we met one another’s parents I was already expecting, so we just decided not to get married. I don’t think either of us had any romantic notions, and my family situation wasn’t a good recommendation for marriage … Mum used to beg us to never have a wedding and that kind of stuck.
We had quite a practical approach and just felt like we had too much going on. At the time my lawyer friend encouraged us to make wills to make sure we had the same rights as married couples.
We had four children and I always expected that one day one of them would come home and ask “Are we bastards?” but surprisingly that never happened. I never wore a wedding ring and I don’t think they noticed.
Paul worked overseas a lot so we wore wedding rings when we lived in Karachi but, when he was thinking of moving to Saudi Arabia and we had to apply for a visa, we knew we had to get married. De facto would not have cut the mustard there.
We got married in Collaroy overlooking the sea, with two friends as witnesses, and then had a wedding breakfast at a local cafe. It was a lovely way to get married. I love other people’s weddings but the thought of organising one was too much for me.
[When we got home afterwards] my daughter, who was 12 at the time, was upset because she really wanted to be there but our sons didn’t care.
We didn’t end up moving to Saudi Arabia, so I feel like I was conned into getting married. Saying the words to each other with really old friends there was a lovely thing to do but it’s made zero difference to us.
When you’re older and see other people dying, you realise marriage is not about a wedding, it’s just about taking care of the other person because love is an action.
‘I felt it would be harder to give up’
A short-lived marriage in her early 20s left Diane* feeling as though she had followed expectations and not her gut. But though she was wary she married Rick* after nine years and two kids because she was keen to “cement” their commitment to one another:
I had been married for a year at 23, after a five-year relationship. I had doubts and felt trapped in a relationship that I shouldn’t have let progress to marriage but there was so much momentum and [expectations around] social norms that I just followed suit.
Rick and I were living together within six months of our relationship and talked about marriage on and off, [particularly] when our friends were getting married after two or three years. I [made it] clear that it wasn’t something I wanted to do. It almost felt like if we hadn’t done it in those early years there was less of a reason for it.
We had a child in 2018 and shortly after fell pregnant again. That was a very challenging time for our relationship [navigating gender roles around work and child-rearing]. I did come to realise that marriage was probably important to him. And in thinking of it that way and not worrying about what others thought about another marriage, it started to become more important to me.
We decided to get engaged in between [the two children] as a way to emotionally lock in the relationship. There were moments that we both questioned whether getting married was the right thing to do, even having moments of questioning the relationship all together.
We had been engaged for about two years when his sister passed away unexpectedly. Family seemed to be more important to us after that; you worry about who else you might lose.
I was nervous of not making the right choice again, and the spectacle of a [wedding]. [But] it felt like a chance to re-cement our relationship, to lock it in [for] the future after a difficult few years.
I didn’t expect anything to change but I did feel like it would be harder to give up on the relationship. I hoped the fleeting comments during an argument about walking away would cease, and they have.
We have now been married nearly three years. I have more of a sense that we are more supportive of [one another] and working as a team together. He agrees that our relationship has improved. But whether that’s related to marriage or just life circumstances is hard to know.
‘There was probably an element of tradition in our decision’
Kristy Sibanda and her husband, Lindani, lived together for 10 years before tying the knot, because it was only through marriage that their relationship was afforded “formal recognition” in Lindani’s Ndebele culture.
Lindani and I were only 19 when we met so we knew that we wouldn’t get married for some time. We wanted to finish university, set ourselves up in our careers, mature and have a level of financial security before [we had] a wedding.
Despite the fact that being de facto in Australia now holds the same legal weight as marriage, the rights that come with [a de facto relationship] in Australia [are] not legally recognised in Zimbabwe. For us this could significantly impact the passing on of assets in a deceased estate.
Formal recognition of a relationship in my husband’s Ndebele culture requires marriage, which involves a number of cultural practices. This includes notifying both sides of the family … typically an aunt on the woman’s side and an uncle on the man’s side … [to] ascertain whether the families will get along. [Then] there’s the lobola process (“bride price”) which is designed to be a show of respect and gratitude, and an indication of the commitment and seriousness of the union. Further, the two representatives of each family who were initially notified are essentially charged with assisting the relevant couple in their marriage if there are ever any issues that need to be resolved. It is somewhat of a safeguard, like counselling, to ensure your marriage has the best chance of survival.
If these traditional practices do not occur, and a formal marriage does not take place, whether it be traditional or civil, then the relationship is not recognised as being legitimate.
I think there was probably still an element of tradition in our decision to marry: we wanted to declare our commitment to one another in front of family and friends and have it formally recognised. Marriage does not guarantee a lifelong partnership [but] I think that as a society we still tend to hold on to the notion that marriage ‘holds more weight’.
We also wanted to be married before having children. [While] I am no longer practising, I was raised Catholic, and I think up until recently I had a subconscious sense of obligation to “not have children out of wedlock”.
Neither of us were nervous about tying the knot. I think we had lived together long enough to know each other extremely well, and to know how we worked together as a couple. We did not anticipate our day-to-day relationship changing significantly as a result of getting married [but] I think it has simply evolved over time, as every relationship does.

Julia Parsons (also McGuire) is a fictional character from the BBC soap opera Doctors, portrayed by Diane Keen. She was introduced as the ex-wife of Mac McGuire (Christopher Timothy) who begins working as a receptionist at the Riverside Health Centre alongside him. She met with Doctors producers in September 2002 where she was offered the role of Julia for a three-month stint. She made her onscreen debut on 13 January 2003 and her storylines throughout her tenure see Julia get remarried to Mac, become the practice manager of the surgery and expanding their endeavours, getting accused of blowing up their surgery, a second divorce from Mac and meeting a new love interest in Martin Millar (Miles Anderson).
Keen remained on the soap for nine years. Her exit storyline sees herself and Martin get into a car crash, which results in her leaving the country with Martin. On 21 November 2019, it was announced that Keen would be reprising her role as Julia in March 2020 for the 20th anniversary of Doctors. She returned from 25 to 27 March 2020. For her portrayal of Julia, Keen was annually nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Actress between the 2005 and 2010 British Soap Awards. Julia was also selected as one of the "top 100 British soap characters" by industry experts for a poll ran by What's on TV.
Storylines
[edit]
Julia begins working on reception at the Riverside Health Centre alongside ex-husband Mac McGuire (Christopher Timothy). The two begin their relationship again and Mac later proposes to Julia, which subsequently leads them to get married for a second time. Julia catches Mac kissing his ex-wife Kate McGuire (Maggie Cronin) and forces them to leave with their son. Julia, now divorced, buys Mac's share of the surgery, now renamed the Mill Health Centre, and becomes the practice manager. Julia reluctantly dismisses her friend Donna Parmar (Martha Howe-Douglas) due to a breach of patient confidentiality. Donna is replaced with another of Julia's friends, Vivien March (Anita Carey). Julia persuades mentally ill colleague Ruth Pearce (Selina Chilton) to move in with her due to her instability, where Julia cares for her until Ruth returns to work. Julia supports nurse Michelle Corrigan (Donnaleigh Bailey) when she chose to work as an army nurse in Afghanistan. Michelle's mother, Vera Corrigan (Doña Croll), becomes angry with Julia as she blames Julia for Michelle's enlisting. Months later, Julia falls ill with symptoms of delusions and confusion, later diagnosed as Lyme disease. Whilst at home recovering from the disease, she becomes the victim of sexual assault by colleague Charlie Bradfield (Philip McGough), who is later reported and dismissed from the Mill for misconduct.
Julia meets garage owner Martin Millar (Miles Anderson) after parking her car in the way of his garage. The two begin dating, but the couple begin not to trust each other, they break up. They later get back together, but when Julia researches Martin online and finds out that he was accused of arson, they end their relationship. Martin later reveals that he has had five wives, and that he had a daughter with his third. Julia is stunned by this and rejects Martin. She meets up with Martin again, but when Martin says that he wants to retire and move to Wales, she once again rejects him, as she does not want this. They keep arguing about this, and whilst they are, their car crashes with another vehicle, and they are both knocked unconscious. Martin and Julia survive and the two embrace. Julia's son Patrick (Alan McKenna) arrives, wanting to take her to his house, so that she can recover. However, after thinking about whether or not she wants a future with Martin, she decides she does, and goes to live with him. Julia returns to the Mill years later after she hears that her former colleague Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) is being released from prison after being wrongfully convicted. She helps him ease back into normal life and asks if he would like to move to France with her, but he declines.
Development
[edit]
Casting and characterisation
[edit]
In September 2002, Keen received a call from her agent, who informed her that she had been asked to meet with Doctors producers. She had not seen the series before, so watched numerous episodes to familiarise herself with the storylines and characters. After realising that the central character was Mac, portrayed by Timothy, who she had worked with before, she became interested. She was told that she would portray his ex-wife for an initial three month stint and accepted the role. On her BBC character profile, Julia was described as "a little formidable and very efficient" person who is determined to do her job well, while still being "mischievous and will take the mickey given half a chance."[1]
Eight years after her casting, Keen reflected on her lengthy tenure in the series in a blog post for the BBC website. She wrote: "eight years later, I'm still doing the show and Julia has certainly seen some changes both in her personal and professional life. Over the years she's remarried Mac, lost him again and gained a second surgery - I know which one I'd rather have!"[2] She was proud of her work in the series, as well as proud of her co-workers for their work on a soap that is "actively promoted in a very big way and functions on a tiny budget".[2] She listed Julia's storyline highlights as being accused of blowing up Riverside, being in prison, being strangled by a boyfriend, opening another surgery, and being proposed to "by one of the most gorgeous guys on the planet (actor Ray Fearon)", who she turns down.[2] On turning down the engagement, Keen joked: "What was she thinking, the soppy twit! I mean how many times is THAT going to happen!"[2]
Departure and relationship with Martin Millar
[edit]
After Keen made the decision to leave Doctors after nine years, Miles Anderson was cast as Martin to coincide with the departure of Julia.[3] Digital Spy said of her departure storyline" "Fans should also keep an eye out for a possible new love interest for Julia when she gets to know garage owner Martin Millar in a few weeks' time. It sounds like there's lots on the way for Julia in the next few weeks".[4] On the relationship Julia forms with Martin, Keen said that Julia fights it "all the way", due to her history of disastrous relationships.[3] Her failed relationships had led Julia to only look at the negative point of view towards how something will turn out. Keen explained: "Martin's really great because he won't take any nonsense and he's not taking no for an answer. He's forcing Julia to really give it a shot, and she needs that. She's obviously very attracted to him, too, so they could be very good together".[3] She added that Martin has "a secret weapon" – being able to make her laugh. Keen remarked: "anyone who can make Julia laugh is quids in."[5]
Another aspect of Julia's exit storyline involves being in a car crash with Martin. The stunt was one of the biggest stunts performed on Doctors and Keen was excited to be part of it.[5] Of the car stunt, she said that it was filmed "on a mad, stormy, windy, rainy day". She called the stunt "phenomenal", "amazing" and added: "in the end, the scenes looked incredible because of that. It was very exciting for everybody, as we don't often get to do stunts like that on Doctors".[3]
Return
[edit]
In November 2019, Doctors began filming for their 20th anniversary, and it was announced that as part of the celebrations for the milestone, Keen would return onscreen in March 2020.[6] Keen was overjoyed to be asked back for the anniversary episode and joked that she "almost said yes before the sentence was finished".[7] She felt happy to be back on set again but was surprised to see the many changes that had occurred in her time away. Despite her time away from the series, Keen described reprising Julia as "muscle memory" and said that she was easily able to play her again.[7] Onscreen, Julia is reintroduced to film a segment in a documentary being made about the Mill. She also supports Jimmi Clay (Adrian Lewis Morgan) with adjusting to normal life after his release from prison.[8]
Reception
[edit]
For her portrayal of Julia, Keen was annually nominated for the British Soap Award for Best Actress between the 2005 and 2010 British Soap Awards.[9] She was nominated for Best Actress again in 2012.[10] Julia's car crash was also nominated for the Spectacular Scene of the Year award at 2013 ceremony.[11] Keen won in the Actress category at the 2008 RTS Midlands Awards.[12] The character was also selected as one of the "top 100 British soap characters" by industry experts for a poll ran by What's on TV, with readers able to vote for their favourite character to discover "Who is Soap's greatest Legend?"[13]

Don't thank me too soon - I haven't actually got the answer!
I've checked the books that I have and all I can say is that it's after "No
More Dying Then" (1971) when Burden's first wife Jean has died and Burden is
having it off^H^H^H^H^H^H an affair with Gemma, the mother of a little boy
who has gone missing. And it's before "Put On By Cunning" (1981) when Burden
and Jenny seem to be married. Unfortunately my books list all the Wexford
stories in alphabetic rather than chronological order, so I can't narrow it
down to one of the book written between those dates - unless you've got a
chronological list.
I think I remember the episode on TV - Burden met Jenny at a garden party
while he and Wexford were solving a murder of someone (?) in a chemist's
shop (?). Sorry, I can't remember any more details than that.
I can also eliminate:
From Doon To Death (1964) (far too early - Jean's probably still
alive)
Murder being Once Done (1972) (I don't think Burden even appears)
Wolf To The Slaughter (1967) (also too early)
Some Lie And Some Die (1973) (Burden is considering marrying Grace,
Jean's sister)
The Veiled One (1988) (By now he's married to Jenny)
A New Lease OF Death (1969)
An Unkindness Of Ravens (1985) (Jenny is expecting their first child)
Road Rage (1998) (Definitely too late!)
So what does that leave us with:

Kate Winslet and Edward Abel Smith began dating in 2011 and tied the knot just a year later. Smith has been by Winslet's side ever since, and while the pair are generally private, the acclaimed actress has spoken of quite fondly of him to the press.
"He didn't particularly plan on meeting and marrying a woman who is in the public eye and therefore having been so judged," she told The New York Times of her husband in 2021, adding, "He's vegan, does yoga, breath work and cold water swims."
Winslet even credits Smith for some her recent professional successes.
"My creative life in the last few years has been really, really, colorful for me," she told PEOPLE in 2015. "And I've really really enjoyed being able to embrace that. I have a wonderful man in my life who is so incredibly supportive that makes it possible for me to have those experiences. It's been a really fun time."
So who is Kate Winslet's husband? Here's everything to know about Edward Abel Smith.
He met Winslet through his famous uncle
Winslet and Smith met in August 2011 while they both vacationed on his uncle Richard Branson's Necker Island — and a disaster brought them together. After a suspected lightning strike, a massive fire broke out at the Virgin mogul's properties. Winslet helped Branson's mother out of the main house on the island, while Smith escaped a neighboring home.
The actress compared the experience to what her and Idris Elba's characters went through in the film The Mountain Between Us. "Exactly the same thing happened to me when I met my husband," she told PEOPLE in October 2017. "He was a complete stranger, we met, and then the next day the house burnt down."
"I believe strangers can meet and their lives can change so much that they simply can't go back to being the person they once were," she added. "[Smith and I] very much went through that together. Even now, I often times find myself looking for an item of clothing or a book or something and I go, 'Where have I put that?' And Ned will look at me and go, 'Did it get burnt in the fire?' "
The incident also inspired the middle name of the couple's son, Bear Blaze Winslet.
He was once famously — and legally — known as Ned Rocknroll
When Smith and Winslet met and first married, his name was legally Ned Rocknroll.
Winslet explained on Jimmy Kimmel Live in January 2021, "So his birth name is Abel Smith. And as time went by and Ned became Ned — who is quite an original personality — he just decided at one point in his life to just change his name to Rocknroll. Ned Rocknroll. So when I met him, his name was Ned Rocknroll. This is completely true."
The Oscar winner added, "When he changed his name to Rocknroll, I don't think he had anticipated what might happen if he should have a girlfriend whose name was Kate Winslet and who was quite well-known and therefore the press might kind of not react so well to the fact that she had this boyfriend named Rocknroll. So, it was a little tricky."
So what prompted him to change it back? Winslet revealed, "I got to the point where I'm like, you know, I'm filling in doctors' forms and it says 'mother's name' and 'father's name,' and I'm like, 'Honey ... are we going to keep going?' And he's like, 'Yeah, you're right. I'll just change it back.' So, he changed it back."
He and Winslet married in secret
In December 2012, Winslet and Smith tied the knot in an upstate New York wedding ceremony that was so secretive, not even their parents knew about it.
A rep for the actress told PEOPLE, "I can confirm that Kate Winslet married Ned Rock'nRoll in NY earlier this month in a private ceremony attended by her two children and a very few friends and family. The couple had been engaged since the summer."
Winslet's Titanic costar Leonardo DiCaprio reportedly walked her down the aisle.
Winslet wasn't keen on taking her new husband's last name
The actress revealed in a 2013 interview with The Telegraph that she never had any intention of changing her last name to Rocknroll after marrying Smith — but she wouldn't have changed it to Smith, either.
"I was never going to change my name to Rocknroll. I've never changed my name to anything, so I didn't see a reason to start now. I quite like Kate Winslet," the Oscar winner, who was previously married to directors Jim Threapleton and Sam Mendes, said. She added jokingly, "In fact, I think it's very flashy."
Winslet explained that she wants to keep her "flashy" family name alive, which is why she and Smith gave their son, Bear Blaze Winslet, her last name.
"I'm one of three girls, and we have one boy in our family," she said. "So essentially the only person who is going to carry the name along is my brother, and he doesn't have any children at the moment."
He took Winslet's last name as a middle name
Winslet revealed in an interview with The New York Times that part of Smith's new name post-Rocknroll also included "Winslet."
"He added 'Winslet' as one of his middle names, just simply because the children have Winslet," she explained. "When we're all traveling together, to all have that name on the passport makes life easier."
He worked for Virgin Galactic
Before meeting Winslet, Smith worked for his famous uncle's space initiative, Virgin Galactic. One of Smith's first public sightings with Winslet was in October 2011, when the pair were photographed holding hands at the launch of Spaceport America in New Mexico.
He was the reason for Winslet's self-described "appalling" speech at the 2011 Emmys
Smith joined Winslet at the 2021 Emmy Awards, where she took home the trophy for outstanding actress in a limited series or movie for the title role in Mare of Easttown. It was a meaningful and winning night for Winslet in more ways than one.
"When I was here 10 years ago with Mildred Pierce we had actually just met," Winslet recalled to reporters in the press room at the 2021 awards ceremony, speaking of Smith. "I knew that I was going to spend my life with this man."
"We're getting to the Emmys and I was just so in a whirlwind of having just met him that I couldn't even concentrate," she said. "And I vividly remember making an absolutely appalling speech because I was not on planet earth because I had fallen head over heels in love with this person who I just met. So to have him here, it's really quite special."
In her 2011 speech, Winslet expressed shock at the victory, thanking her costars, production team and crew on the HBO miniseries. She also profusely thanked her mother, saying, "This just means such a lot to me. I just wanted to say one thing also, which is that Mildred Pierce was capable of great acts as a mother but she was an extraordinary multitasker. And to that end, I actually do have to share this with my mum. It doesn't matter how old you are or what you do in your life, you never stop needing your mum, and I'll never stop needing mine. So thanks mum!"
He is now a stay-at-home dad
Smith is now a full-time stay-at-home dad for his and Winslet's 7-year-old son, Bear Blaze — and he also remains a devoted and doting husband to his Oscar-winning wife.
"He looks after us, especially me," Winslet told The New York Times in a May 2021 interview. "I said to him earlier, like, 'Neddy, could you do something for me?' He just went, 'Anything.' He is an absolutely extraordinary life partner."
Winslet revealed that Smith even helps her run lines for her scripted projects, even though he has dyslexia.
"I'm so, so, so lucky," she said. "For a man who is severely dyslexic, as he is, he's great at testing me on lines. It's so hard for him to read out loud, but he still does it." Her sentiments echoed what she told WSJ. Magazine about her husband in 2015. "Thank God for Ned — really," she said. "He's just so incredibly supportive, and he's so much fun. He's absolutely everything to me. And to all of us."

French duchess who was married at 15 to a man old enough to be her grandfather, then became, at 37, the mistress of a king who, though young enough to be her son, made her the most powerful woman in France. Name variations: Dianne de Poytiers, la grande sénéchale de Normandie; Duchess of Valentinois.Pronunciation: Di-ANN duh Pooah-TEAY. Born on December 31 (some cite September 3), 1499, in the province of the Dauphiné, France; died at Anet, Normandy, on April 25 (or April 22), 1566; daughter of Jeanne de Bastarnay and Jean de Poitiers, lord of Saint-Vallier and captain of the King's Guard; tutored at home; married Louis de Brézé, in 1515; children: daughters Françoise (b. 1520), and Louise.
Following the death of her mother, went to live with the family of the duke of Bourbon (1509); married and moved to Anet, Normandy (1515); became mistress of Henry II (1536); acquired Chenonceau (1555); following Henry's death, returned to Anet (1559).
Born on the eve of the 16th century, the life of Diane de Poitiers spans the end of the Renaissance and the beginning of the Reformation. Her father was Jean de Poitiers, the lord of Saint-Vallier. Her mother Jeanne de Bastarnay was the first of her father's three wives. Jeanne died when her three daughters were still young. At the age of ten, Diane, the oldest, went to live at Moulins with the duke and duchess of Bourbon (Charles II of Bourbon and Suzanne of Bourbon ). There, she served as a maid-in-waiting to their daughter. Diane and the other girls were tutored in religion, Latin, dancing and playing the lute. They also studied manners from a book written by the duchess, who admonished: "Love as you will but marry well." Diane followed the advice but reversed the order. She married well, then she loved.
The duchess accomplished a matrimonial coup in arranging a marriage for Diane. However, when the wedding bells rang, the bride had little to celebrate. She hardly knew Louis de Brèzè, the man who was about to become her husband. He was 40 years older, short-tempered, stern, and not at all the handsome knight of her childhood tales. His severe features matched his character. It mattered little to her that he was admired for his courage as a soldier. In choosing the bridegroom, the fact that he was ill-suited for the lively, 15-year-old girl was outweighed in the duchess of Bourbon's mind by his lineage. Louis was a gentleman of the blood royal, being the son of Charlotte de Brézé , daughter of Charles VII through his alliance with Agnes Sorel .
On a wet and windy day in March, Louis de Brézé, count of Maulévrier, grand sénéchale de Normandie, brought the new bride to his home, the castle of Anet in Normandy, near Paris. After the art-filled castle of Moulins, the feudal fortress of her husband's ancestors looked dismal to Diane with its forbidding towers and moat. The room in which the bride and groom slept seemed to be haunted. Years before, Charlotte, Louis de Brézé's mother, had been brutally murdered there by her husband Jacques de Brézé, who, having discovered his Master of the Hounds in bed with his wife, had stabbed both of them to death on the spot. Shortly after the wedding, Diane, a teenager, was left in charge of the dreary fortress when Louis de Brézé went to war. Diane's father accompanied her husband, who was the older of the two men.
The year of Diane de Poitier's marriage, 1515, was also the year Francis I became king. Young Francis was the French counterpart of Henry VIII, his rival across the English Channel. Both princes of the Renaissance were "stirred by beauty," in art, music, literature, and women. Francis was crowned after the death of his cousin and father-in-law Louis XII. Louis had been married only three months to Henry VIII's 18-year-old sister, Mary Tudor (1496–1533), and, it was reported unofficially, died from "kissing her too much."
When not fighting, Louis de Brézé took Diane to court, where she functioned as lady-in-waiting to the king's mother, Louise of Savoy (1476–1531), and later, to Queen Claude de France (1499–1524). From childhood, Diane had developed the habit of horseback riding every morning and soon joined the king's hunting parties at Fontainebleau. She was witty and attractive, her best features being golden hair, a fine figure, and a fresh complexion. She also shared the king's interest in the arts, and he introduced her to the Italian Renaissance. During his Italian campaigns, Francis had been dazzled by the works of the Renaissance artists and had convinced several to come to France. Among them were Benvenuto Cellini and the aging Leonardo da Vinci who had brought with him the famous Mona Lisa.
Brézé, Charlotte de (c. 1444/49–?)
French princess. Name variations: Charlotte de France; Charlotte de Breze. Born between 1444 and 1449; murdered by her husband; daughter of Charles VII, king of France, and Agnes Sorel; married Jacques de Brézé; children: Louis de Brézé (who married Diane de Poitiers).
In March 1519, Louis de Brézé and Diane lit bonfires to celebrate the birth of the king's second
son, who was named Henry (II) to flatter the English king. Diane, of course, had no way of knowing that 17 years later this boy would fall passionately in love with her and change her life. The following year, Diane gave birth to her first daughter. Soon after, Louis de Brézé left to join the king at the Field of the Cloth of Gold, in Picardy. This spectacular meeting of the courts of France and England was designed by Francis to seduce Henry VIII into aligning with France against the Spanish king, Charles V. The French extravagance failed. Henry sided with Charles V. In 1523, the powerful duke of Bourbon (at whose house Diane had lived) committed an act of high treason by signing a secret treaty with Henry VIII and Charles V. Diane's father, as a friend of the duke, was implicated.
Louis de Brézé discovered the plot and informed the king, unaware that his father-in-law's name was on the list of traitors. Diane was 24 and the mother of two daughters when her father was arrested and found guilty of helping the duke escape. The public beheading was about to take place when a messenger announced that a royal pardon had been granted. Disappointed, the crowd dispersed slowly. Very likely, Louis de Brézé used his influence with the king to obtain his father-in-law's pardon. Some chroniclers, however, hinted that Diane had done more than shed tears. Protestant historians, who sought revenge from Diane de Poitiers for her persecution of the Huguenots, wrote that she had saved her father's life by offering herself to the king. The story was picked up by Victor Hugo and some early historians. The titillating element of this version was that it made Diane de Poitiers mistress to two kings of France, a father and his son.
In 1525, Charles V, king of Spain and Holy Roman emperor, captured France's king Francis I in Pavia, Italy. Francis' mother Louise of Savoy and sister, Margaret of Angoulême (1492–1549), entered into a web of negotiations that involved most of the monarchs of Europe and even Suleyman the Magnificent, ruler of the Ottoman Empire. Charles V agreed to release the king but made the cruel demand that Francis' sons be sent as hostages until all conditions of the agreement were fulfilled. The boys, aged eight and seven, spent four traumatizing years in captivity. Of his two sons, Francis I preferred the older one who bore his name and resembled him. His youngest Henry was moodier and more introverted.
Henry II to Diane de Poitiers">
Madame … I entreat you will remember him who has never known but one God and one love.
—Henry II to Diane de Poitiers
A romantic account of Diane's first meeting with Henry places the event as early as 1525. According to this story, which appears in several texts, she was among those who accompanied the princes to Bayonne, near the French border, for the exchange with their father. The boys' mother, Queen Claude, had died recently, and shy Henry was particularly distraught. Diane kissed him before handing him over to his Spanish captors, and the memory of the embrace is said to have sustained Henry during the long imprisonment.
Three years after his sons' release, Francis I visited Louis de Brézé, at Anet, and from there wrote a letter concerning the negotiations for the marriage of his son Henry to Catherine de Medici . It was dated April 24, 1531. That same year, Louis de Brézé died at age 72. Diane built a monument to her husband and vowed to wear nothing but black and white for the rest of her life. At 30, she found herself a titled widow and landowner. She had radiant good looks, a youthful body, and fine health. Most of all, she was well-informed, smart, and possessed grace and elegance. In 1533, having joined the court at Paris, she attended the wedding of Henry and Catherine who were both 16 years old. It was a joyful occasion for everyone but the groom, who had never met his Italian bride. Catherine's life had been even sadder than Henry's. The daughter of Lorenzo de Medici, duke of Urbino, and Madeleine de la Tour d'Auvergne , Catherine became an orphan days after her birth when her mother died from childbirth and her father from syphilis. Catherine was raised by her uncles, both popes: Leo X, who excommunicated Martin Luther in 1520, and Clement VII, who refused to grant Henry VIII a divorce to marry Anne Boleyn .
Catherine seemed to have truly loved her young husband, but Henry, though always courteous, was sexually indifferent to her. When he was 17, his older brother died, making him the dauphin (next in line to the throne). Feeling unprepared for the role, he turned to Diane de Poitiers for help and guidance. Their relationship began as one of mentor and student. For Henry, his love would always be mixed with respect and gratitude. He found in Diane, who was 20 years older, the mother he had lost when he was a boy. Diane found in Henry the young husband she had never had. By 1536, it seems likely that they were lovers. Diarists of the day wrote that Henry's melancholy all but vanished at the start of his liaison. Some even claimed they had seen him laugh.
Those who failed to understand that the lonely, neglected second son had finally found a friend, accused Diane of seducing the young prince and using sorcery and satanism to keep him. Diane weathered gossip by ignoring it. The secret of her success, she said, was not witchcraft but healthy living. She attributed her slim figure to her devotion to exercise, and her clear complexion to the daily habit of bathing in cold water. She was an avid reader and collector of art. There is no doubt that she was influential in forming her lover's taste. The ambassador to the duke of Ferrara reported that His Majesty was preoccupied with Madame Diane with whom "he spends at least eight hours a day," adding that he was being led by the tip of his nose. Henry and Diane rode together, hunted, conversed, and read. One of the books they studied was Machiavelli's The Prince. Having managed a large estate in the absence of her husband, Diane had acquired a sound practical sense, and Henry relied on her judgment and on her pragmatic approach. In addition, she knew how to obtain her wants through reason rather then caprice, diplomacy rather than coercion. Catherine, on the other hand, was temperamental and given to outbursts. On an impulse, she once had a hole pierced in the floor above the room where Diane and Henry met.
After ten years of marriage, Catherine de Medici was still childless. She found herself a vestigial member of the royal family: not yet a queen, not yet a mother, and no longer needed at her husband's side. The question of her barrenness became her obsession and the great concern of the court. The matter was discussed at length and the possibility that Henry was at fault was rejected when he offered the argument that while campaigning in Piedmont, he had fathered a child. Born in 1538, she was named Diane (de France) and brought up at court. This led many to speculate that she was Diane and Henry's daughter.
The burden of infertility was on Catherine, who stopped at nothing to increase her chances of giving birth. She swallowed elixirs of mare's milk, rabbit's blood, and sheep's urine. Around her neck, she wore a small sack containing the ashes of a large frog. She even stopped riding a mule as it was known that a sterile animal could contaminate the rider. She finally gave birth to a son on January 19, 1543. Nine more children followed during the next 13 years. A physician was credited for having solved Catherine's problem, but an envoy from Venice claimed that Diane played a large part in the cure by periodically reminding the king of his marital duties toward his wife.
With the birth of the royal children, Diane might have taken second place to the new mother, but the mistress found a way of becoming indispensable to the royal couple. Not only did she ably assist the queen during her confinements, but she also took charge of the growing nursery. Diane's numerous letters to Jean III de Humières, the children's tutor, have survived. Cordial and to the point, they are filled with advice about the hiring of wet nurses, medicine to be given, and other problems. Henry's letters to the tutor are, by contrast, warm and more concerned with the happiness of the children than with household details.
Diane's political influence on the king began early and continued with the years. She was instrumental in bringing about the alliance of France and Scotland through the marriage of Henry's four-year-old son to four-year-old Mary Stuart (1542–1587). Mary, the future queen of Scots, arrived in France two years later to join the royal children and immediately captivated the French court. Henry II, who reportedly said, "She is the most perfect child that I ever saw," asked Diane to supervise Mary's education.
Flemming, Mary (fl. 1540s)
Scottish attendant to Mary Stuart, queen of Scotland. Name variations: Lady Flemming, Madame de Flemming. Flourished in the 1540s; had liaison with Henry II; children: a boy, known as the Bastard of Angoulême.
Mary Flemming was an attendant for the child Mary Stuart , future queen of Scots. The facts seems to suggest that Flemming was encouraged to seduce the king by political rivals of Diane de Poitiers in an effort to minimize de Poitier's influence. But Flemming made the mistake of bragging about her coup to all who would listen, causing her removal from court.
When Henry showed his appreciation for his mistress by granting her the duchy of Valentinois, many objected. He came under even heavier criticism when he made her the recipient of a huge source of revenue called la Paulette, a tax placed on appointments to military, ecclesiastical, and civil offices. When Diane protested, "This seems to me to be all too great a gift," the king replied, "It is my royal pleasure to lay la Paulette as a nosegay at your feet." This new favor made her extremely wealthy and powerful; it also made her many enemies. Although some historians have exaggerated the influence she had over the king, undeniably Diane de Poitiers had great powers over him. The emissary of Edward VI of England wrote, "The Duchess of Valentinois ruleth the roast [sic]." Henry II was not a stupid man; if he relied on her political savvy and her experience it was because in many cases her advice was sound. Her fanatical Catholicism, however, led her to sway the king to use hideously repressive methods towards the Huguenots. Henry had been somewhat tolerant of these French Protestants, but, on this issue, he was opposed by wife and mistress who were able to sway him. Devoutly religious, both believed that anti-Catholic sentiment had to be plucked out immediately. With the backing of the clergy, this attitude caused Huguenots to be burned at the stake. Reportedly, after witnessing the burning of one man, Henry was so sickened that he vowed never to attend such an event again, though Diane thought the punishment fit the crime. On another occasion Diane and Catherine were also in agreement. Henry was not involved in affairs with many women, but he did have a very brief encounter with Mary Flemming , a woman who had accompanied Mary Stuart. This resulted in the birth of a boy who was raised in the royal nursery but was known as the Bastard of Angoulême. Wife and mistress acted in unison to demand the dismissal of Mary Flemming.
There is little question that Diane de Poitiers was Henry's only love. In a letter, he entreats her to "keep in remembrance him who has never loved, nor will love, anyone but you." Henry felt a constant need to display his love with concrete gifts. The most valuable was Chenonceau, a jewel of a castle in the Loire Valley. Because Henry's father had acquired the place in a somewhat shady deal, Diane feared future heirs might claim it, so she arranged a bizarre scheme in which the royal family relinquished its claims on Chenonceau. She then bought it back (with royal funds) at a rigged auction. This shrewd, calculating trait is also evident in the manner in which Diane acquired her fine collection of books. In order to stock the national library, Francis I had established the precedent of requiring that a copy of every published book be sent to the Royal Depot. Diane persuaded Henry to request two books—one of which ended up on her shelf. On another occasion, she reveals herself as being not only rapacious but callous. In a letter written in 1556 to the baron of Chalus, she asks him to negotiate the best price for 480 Spanish sailors captured by a French galley during a storm. Referring to them as slaves, she also suggests the manner of payment.
The only area in which she was extravagant and unrestrained was in the patronage of artists. Her most exceptional contribution was in architecture. Under the keen supervision of the gifted architect Philibert Delorme, the old gloomy fortress of Anet was converted to an immense and graceful castle that was included in a book entitled The Most Excellent Buildings of France. Delorme rejected the Renaissance style and adopted the purer lines of ancient Rome, anticipating the trend toward neo-classicism. When it was completed in 1554, the building was the only one of its kind in Europe since antiquity, and it was a sensation. Most of the grandiose edifice was torn to the ground during the French Revolution.
Diane's improvement of Chenonceau made it a showcase. She spanned the river Cher with a bridge that connected the residence to both banks. Her delicately landscaped gardens were greatly admired and copied. She experimented with exotic plants that included mulberry trees to raise silkworms for the production of silk. She so embellished Chenonceau that when the king died, the queen appropriated it, giving Diane the less attractive château of Chaumont in exchange.
Henry II died shortly after celebrating his 40th birthday. Bravado killed him. On the occasion of the wedding of his daughter Elizabeth of Valois (1545–1568) to Philip II of Spain, Henry had arranged festive events. The last was a jousting competition in which he performed in defiance of his wife Catherine who, having had a premonition of his death, had begged him tearfully not to participate. Henry received a blow in his right eye and the wooden lance remained embedded in his eye socket. The king took ten days to die, while his physicians dressed the wound with coagulated egg whites and tried everything from bleedings to purges. In a desperate attempt to relieve the king's suffering, they ordered four condemned prisoners to be executed prematurely. Their heads were brought to the surgeons who simulated the accident and proceeded to dissect the heads to determine the damage to the brain. In probably the cruelest act of revenge by the queen who had suffered 23 years of jealousy, Diane was excluded from the dying man's sickroom.
Following Henry's death, Catherine de Medici became the most powerful woman on the Continent. Not only was she mother to the new king, Francis II, but mother-in-law to two monarchs, Mary Stuart and Philip II of Spain. Her sons Charles (IX) and Henry (III) would also become kings. Except for having to return the crown jewels that Henry had given her, Diane was not persecuted or forced to end her life in a convent like previous royal mistresses. Allowed to retire to Anet, she spent the rest of her days doing charitable works, founding a hospital, a nursery for abandoned infants, a home for young women in trouble, and another for homeless women. Diane also arranged to train midwives so they would serve in the countryside and provided dowry money for needy girls.
Diane de Poitiers was unique and fascinating. She had charm and patience, was reasonable, calculating, frugal, manipulative, and, when necessary, could be chillingly detached and cold-blooded. Had she been born a man in the 16th century, she probably would have been a diplomat of some stature.

The power of intention
If I had to nominate one photographer who is my favourite of all time, it would be Diane Arbus. There is just something about her photographs that impinge on my consciousness, my love of difference in human beings, their subversiveness and diversity. She pictures it all, some with irony, some with love, some with outright contempt, but always with interest. In photographs of dwarfs you don’t get the majesty and beauty that Susan Sontag desired, you get something else instead: the closeness of intention and effect – this is who this person was at that particular moment represented in a photograph, the essence of their being at that particular time.
Arbus was fascinated by the relationships between the psychological and the physical, probing her subjects with the camera to elicit a physical response. Her sensory, emotional, intellectual and aesthetic intelligence creates a single experience in relation to subject, stimulating her to respond to the world in her own unique way. While Arbus may well have hated aspects of American culture – “Its hypocrisy, this ‘happy happy’ story after the war, the consumerism, the racism, she feels deeply about that,” as Anne O’Hehir, curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s American Portraits observes – she photographed everything that makes us human in profound and powerful photographs. To me, her subjects were not ‘caught off guard’ nor did they unintentionally reveal aspects of themselves – they revealed themselves to Arbus just as they are, because she gained their trust, she had empathy for who they were… an empathy that probably flowed both ways, enhanced by the subjects sense of Arbus’ own personal travails.
It is unfortunate then, that this exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art is such a disappointment. This has nothing to do with the wonderful installation by the Heide curatorial team in the beautiful gallery spaces, but in the prints themselves and the artists that accompany Arbus’ work. Let’s look at the prints first.
According to the article “Diane Arbus: Iconic photographs on show together for first time at National Gallery of Australia” by Louise Maher on the ABC News website in June 2016, “The collection is one of the largest public holdings of her work outside New York and, according to NGA curator of photography Anne O’Hehir, one of the most impressive in the world. “The gallery was buying a huge amount of work in 1980 and ’81 leading up to the opening of the gallery in 1982,” Ms O’Hehir said. “We were offered in two lots these extraordinary photographs – they were the first release of prints from the Arbus estate and they were expensive at the time.”
These vintage prints are by the hand of Arbus, not later printings by other people, and as such should be as close a rendition to what Arbus intended the work to look like as can be found. The exhibition text notes that, “All the same, she was very clear about how she wanted her images to look; she worked hard to achieve a particular quality in her prints, which have a distinct feel and appearance that are quite different from other photographs of the 1960s … She reminds us consistently through a number of careful and deliberate strategies that we are looking at a photograph that has been made by a particular person.”
Through these strategies Arbus sought to differentiate her prints from the West Coast Ansel Adams Zone system of printing which was prevalent at the time. The Zone System would have been the antithesis of what Arbus wanted from her photographs. Every popular magazine at that time would have had Zone System stuff… so Arbus didn’t dare align herself with that school. But truth be told, if these prints are the best that she could do as a printer, then they are not very good. As can be seen from the installation photographs in this posting (not the media photographs), some of the prints are so dark as to be beyond comparison to the clarity of the prints that were later produced by her daughter Doon Arbus for the Arbus estate and for reproduction in books. You only have to look at the installation photograph of Xmas tree in a living room in Levittown, L.I. 1963 (above) and another reproduction of this image to see how dark the National Gallery of Australia’s prints are. If you take time to actually look at the photographs one of the prints, Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1966 (1966, below) was barely in focus under the enlarger when developed, and several others have not been fixed properly. They may have been first release, but how far down the release were they? We don’t know whether these were the top shelf prints, or tenth in the stack. I know from personal experience that I have a numbering system from one to ten. You sell the best print and so number two then becomes number one, and so on.
The poorness of these prints again becomes a sign of intention. The print is the final, luminous rendition of a photographers previsualisation, the ultimate expression of their creativity. This is how I want to show you the world, through this photograph. It is the end point of a long process. I believe strongly that Arbus wanted to show things as clearly as possible, as clearly as the best possible use that photography could provide. She is like a razor the way she cuts through. But in these particular final renditions, she lets herself down. And the people who bought these photographs, should have realised what poor prints they were.
Turning to the artists that accompany the work of Arbus… was it really necessary to surround such a powerful artist’s work with such noise? While it is always a delight to see the work of Mary Ellen Mark, William Eggleston, Milton Rogovin, Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, Lisette Model, Walker Evans, Weegee and William Klein, to try and embed the work of Arbus within a photographic milieu, within a cacophony of imagery that stretches from the 1930s to the 1980s, simply does not work. While Arbus emerges out of the concerns of her era, she is such a powerful presence and force that simply no one compares. She is so different from the organised Evans and or the macabre Weegee, more closely aligned to Model, and certainly by no stretch of the imagination does she influence Eggleston, Friedlander, Winogrand or Rogovin in any significant way… that these artists works just become filler for this exhibition. If the intention was to situate Arbus’ work in the chronological “flow” of photography then the concept falls between intention and effect. While no artist’s work appears without regard to historical precedent, their work is simply their own and needs its own space to breathe.
What would have been more interesting would have been to position Arbus’ work within an Australian context. Now there’s an idea, since we live in Australia!
Here we go: exhibit Arbus’ prints with 15 prints by Carol Jerrems (Vale Street, Mark and Flappers), 15 prints of the early work of Polixeni Papapetrou (drag queens, Elvis fans, circus performers and wrestlers) and 15 prints of the work of Sue Ford. Four strong women who deal with issues of gender and identity in a forthright manner – not a cacophony of noise (9 artists, 6 of them men) to accompany the work of a genius. Analyse the influence of Arbus on this generation of Australian photographers. Pretty simple. Clean, concise, accessible, relevant to Australia audiences. Then intention would have possibly met effect.
There are highlights to be had within this exhibition, two in particular.
It was a pleasure to see the work of Milton Rogovin. I have always admired his work, and the small, intimate prints from his Lower West Side series (1973-2002) did not disappoint. While Arbus’ portraits are powerful visualisations, front and centre, Rogovin’s working class families are just… present. His social documentary photographs of working class families are almost reticent in their rendition. “His classical portraits, often grouped in diptychs and triptychs, expound narrative in a single image and over time. They compress time intimately… and by that I mean the viewer is engaged in a conversation with the subject, where we can imagine that we live those lives as they do (transcending time), the lives of what Rogovin called “the forgotten ones.” He makes their countenance, their physicality, the hardships they endure, and their narrative, directly and intimately compelling. We are made to feel their plight in the now and the forever. For these photographs are as relevant, if not more so, now as then.”
The other highlight is to see three Arbus photographs that I have never seen before: Old black woman with gnarled hand; Large black family in small shack; and Addie Taylor in her shack, Beaufort, South Carolina (all 1968, installation views below), all three taken with flash. These works were a revelation for their observational intimacy and evocation of a dark place in the existence of the poorest of human beings. The gnarled hand of the old woman lying in a filthy bed with cardboard walls is particularly distressing to say the least. To compare these photographs with Walker Evans’ flash photograph Hudson Street boarding house detail, New York (1931, below) and his naturally aspirated Bedroom, shrimp fisherman’s house, Biloxi, Mississippi (1945, below) in their pristine emptiness is instructive. This ideation, together with Arbus’ photographs relationship to the work of her sometime teacher Lisette Model (particularly her Lower East Side photographs (1939-1942); Albert-Alberta, Hubert’s 42nd St Flea Circus, New York (c. 1945) and Woman with Veil, San Francisco (1949) all below) are the zenith of this exhibition, where the intention of embedding Arbus’ photographs in the history of the medium come best to fruition, in effect.
Finally, I must say a big thank you to Heide Museum of Modern Art for allowing me to come out to the gallery to take the installation photographs. Many thanks indeed.

“People who met Arbus often said she was incredibly seductive. Immensely curious, she was softly spoken and her ability to connect with and gain the trust of people was legendary. She talked about “the gap between intention and effect”, explaining “it really is totally fantastic that we look like this and you sometimes see that very clearly in a photograph. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.””
Diane Arbus quoted in Kerrie O’Brien (curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s Diane Arbus: American Portraits) “Intimate, dark and compelling: the photographs of Diane Arbus,” on The Sydney Morning Herald website March 14, 2018 [Online] Cited 16/02/2022
“The people in an Arbus photograph are never trivialised; they have certainly a larger-than-life intensity that few other photographers can achieve. While they seem like figures from fairy tales or myth, they are also invested with powerful agency.”
Gillian Wearing quoted in Kerrie O’Brien (curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s Diane Arbus: American Portraits) “Intimate, dark and compelling: the photographs of Diane Arbus,” on The Sydney Morning Herald website March 14, 2018 [Online] Cited 16/02/2022
“When you’re awake enough to question your purpose and ask how to connect to it, you’re being prodded by the power of intention. The very act of questioning why you’re here is an indication that your thoughts are nudging you to reconnect to the field of intention. What’s the source of your thoughts about your purpose? Why do you want to feel purposeful? Why is a sense of purpose considered the highest attribute of a fully functioning person? The source of thought is an infinite reservoir of energy and intelligence.
In a sense, thoughts about your purpose are really your purpose trying to reconnect to you. This infinite reservoir of loving, kind, creative, abundant energy grew out of the originating intelligence, and is stimulating you to express this universal mind in your own unique way.”

Heide is delighted to host the National Gallery of Australia’s touring exhibition, Diane Arbus: American Portraits.
The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923-1971) are among the most widely recognised in the history of photography. Her images stand as powerful allegories of post-war America, and once seen are rarely forgotten. Works such as Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967 and Child with toy hand grenade, in Central Park, New York City have been described as two of ‘the most celebrated images in the history of the medium’.
Featuring 35 of Arbus’s most iconic and confrontational images from 1961-1971, this exhibition examines the last decade of Arbus’s life,the period in which her style is in full flight. Her work has polarised viewers who question whether she exploited or empowered her subjects, who were often drawn from society’s margins. ‘The National Gallery of Australia is privileged to hold such an extraordinary collection of work by a photographer of Arbus’s significance,’ said Anne O’Hehir, curator. ‘This collection covers Arbus’s best-known pictures, and also includes images which are rarely seen. This exhibition is a testament to the power of Arbus’s extraordinary vision.’
Arbus’s photographs are exhibited alongside a selection of works by other leading American photographers whose work influenced Arbus, was shown alongside hers in the ’60s, or has been influenced by her. These include famous images by Lisette Model, Walker Evans and Weegee, her contemporaries William Klein, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Milton Rogovin as well as a slightly younger generation, work by Mary Ellen Mark and William Eggleston.
Heide Director and CEO Dr Natasha Cica said: ‘Heide is delighted to present this exhibition of the renowned photographer Diane Arbus. Her uncompromising view challenged existing photography conventions in a surprising and enchanting way.’

Klein sandwiched his relatively short photographic career, working as a fashion photographer for Vogue, between being a painter and a filmmaker. Self-taught, he experimented with flash, wide-angle lenses, blurring, abstraction and accidents, and produced grainy, high contrast prints. He is deliberately at the other end of the spectrum from the invisible, disinterested photographer. Klein deliberately got really close to his subjects, in their faces, and caught them reacting to being photographed on the street. ‘To be visible, intervene and show it’ was his mantra.

Introduction
The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923-1971) are powerful allegories of postwar America. Once seen they are rarely forgotten. Contemporary audiences found the way that Arbus approached the genre of portraiture confronting and her work continues to polarise opinion. The images raise difficult, uncomfortable questions concerning the intent of the photographer.
Arbus had a huge curiosity about the society around her; her favourite thing was ‘to go where I’ve never been’. As she was a photographer, this manifested as an obsessive exploration into what it means to photograph and be photographed, and what can happen at that moment of exchange – something elusive and a little bit magical. Whether Arbus is an empathetic champion of the outsider, or an exploitative voyeur, is something that each viewer alone must decide.
The National Gallery of Australia’s collection of Arbus photographs is among the most impressive in the world. The NGA is extremely fortunate to have bought 36 rare, vintage prints in 1980 and 1981, from the earliest releases of prints from the Arbus Estate. These works are from the last decade of the artist’s life, the period in which her recognisable style is in full flight and she was in total control of her medium.
These rare prints are shown alongside photographs by others who also sought to redefine the tradition of portraiture, and whose vision of America is also both challenging and moving. The work of these photographers relates to Arbus in a variety of ways: they are influencers, contemporaries or heirs to aspects of her worldview. Like Arbus, they are keen, singular observers of their worlds, transforming the sometimes banal and ugly into images of unexpected beauty.
An uncompromising view of the world
Diane Arbus was born Diane Nemerov, the daughter of wealthy Jewish New Yorkers; her father ran Russek’s, a department store on Fifth Avenue selling furs and women’s clothing. Growing up in an apartment in a towering building on Central Park West, her world was highly protected, one in which she never felt adversity. This was something Arbus resented both at the time and later; it seemed to her to be an unreal experience of the world. At 18 she married her childhood sweetheart, Allan Arbus, and for a decade from the mid 1940s, they ran a successful photography studio doing fashion shots for leading picture magazines.
In 1956 Arbus ceased working with Allan in the studio and began instead to explore subjects of her own choice. She was, apart from the occasional class, essentially self-taught and as she struck out on her own, she undertook a detailed study of the work of other photographers. Compelled to confront that which had been off-limits in her own privileged childhood, she looked to other photographers who had confronted the world head-on, including Weegee, William Klein, Walker Evans and Lisette Model. They recorded, each in their own way, their surroundings with an at-times frightening candour. In their images, Arbus found an uncompromising view of the world, stripped of sentimentality.
Weegee
Weegee turns the banal and seedy underbelly of New York city streets after hours into moments of great psychological drama. A freelance news photographer, he supplied images to the popular press but was also well regarded in art circles. The Museum of Modern Art collected his work and exhibited it in 1943. Arbus owned a number of Weegee’s books and greatly admired his Runyonesque view of the world. She closely studied aspects of his working method as she formulated her own, especially his use of flash. His ‘wild dynamics’ made everyone else ‘look like an academician’, she wrote.
William Klein
Returning to New York in 1954 from his émigré life in Paris, Klein was at once taken aback by what he perceived to be a society pursuing purely materialistic goals, but also excited by the energy he found on the streets. Self-taught, he experimented with flash, wide-angle lenses, blurring and close-ups, abstraction and accidents, and produced grainy, high contrast prints. Klein’s 1956 book, Life is Good & Good for You in New York: Trance Witness Revels, a copy of which Arbus owned, gave impetus to the emerging genre of street photography through his harsh, uncompromising vision of the city. His work was met, particularly in the United States, with misunderstanding and hostility.
Walker Evans
The writer James Agee travelled to Alabama in America’s South in 1936 to research an article on the plight of tenant farmers for Fortune magazine. He chose photographer Walker Evans to accompany him. The article did not eventuate but a book did, Let us now praise famous men. Both men were unnerved by what they saw: Agee wrote of ‘the nakedness, disadvantage and humiliation of … an undefended and appallingly damaged group of human beings’. And yet in the face of this, Evans made images of insistent frontality and careful symmetrical framing; devoid of cliché or pretention, and suggesting an impartiality. This gave the images a great authenticity and power.
Evans’ oeuvre is essentially concerned with how photography represents the world. His significance in the development of twentieth-century photography was reappraised during the 1960s, largely through the largesse of John Szarkowski, the head of the Museum of Modern Art’s photography department at the time. Szarkowski argued that the foundations for many of the key aesthetic and formal tendencies of 1960s photography rested in Evans’ work. The catalogue that accompanied his 1938 exhibition American photographs, in particular, had a huge impact on the new generation of photographers, and on Arbus in particular. She met Evans in 1961 and visited him regularly at his New York home throughout the decade. He wrote in support of her 1963 Guggenheim Grant application.
Lisette Model
Lisette Model’s satirical portraits of the rich on the French Riviera and the photographs she made in the 1940s of the Lower East Side’s poor and marginalised bear out the fact that she took her own advice: ‘Don’t shoot ’till the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach’. By the 1950s she had largely turned to teaching and her influence on Arbus, who took a number of her classes at the New School in 1956 and again in 1957-1958, was profound. Model encouraged Arbus to pursue her own distinctive voice. Model recalled, ‘One day I said to her, and I think this was very crucial, “originality means coming from the source…” And from then on, Diane was sitting there and – I’ve never in my life seen anybody – not listening to me but suddenly listening to herself through what was said.’
The gap between intention and effect
Prior to 1962 Arbus worked primarily with a 35mm Nikon camera. Her images at this time were often about gesture, with grainy images and subjects frequently shown in movement. In 1962 Arbus switched to a 2 ¼ inch medium-format, twin-lens Rolleiflex (later a Mamiyaflex), which she used with a flash and which when printed full-frame, gave the photographs a square format. The pictures she took with these cameras are deceptively, deliberately simple. Compositionally they are often masterful with repetitions of shapes and minutely observed, subtly presented details. Despite the confronting subject matter, her images have a classical stillness, an insistent frontality that she borrowed from classic documentary photography. To this Arbus adds a very deliberate use of the snap-shot aesthetic, with slightly tilted picture planes and people caught unawares, to signal the authenticity of her connection with the subject.
Arbus developed a working method and style that offered what amounts to a critique of the photographic portrait. There is a palpable tension in the way she presents her subjects, a complicity in the image-making process which rubs up against the fact that her subjects seem caught off-guard, unintentionally revealing aspects of themselves. Arbus identified this as ‘the gap between intention and effect’, explaining that ‘it really is totally fantastic that we look like this and you sometimes see that very clearly in a photograph. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it’. Arbus’s ability to connect with and gain the trust of people is legendary. Fellow photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt that she was ‘an emissary from the world of feeling. She cared about these people. They felt that and gave her their secret’.
The aristocrats
As a student at the alternative Fieldston Ethical Culture School in the Bronx, Arbus developed a fascination with myths, ritual and public spectacle. This preoccupation remained steadfast throughout her life. For example, in 1963 she was awarded a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship to document ‘American rites, manners and customs’. Arbus had an almost insatiable curiosity and fascination with the world and she sought to make photographs that addressed fundamental aspects of our humanity in the broadest terms. It was the photographer Lisette Model, with whom she studied in the late 1950s, who made her realise that, in a seemingly contradictory way, the more specific a photograph of something was, the more general its message became.
To this extent, it is notable that Arbus’s photographs rarely address the issues of the day in any overt and obvious way. While there are exceptions – for example, her work for magazines from the sixties, including portraits of celebrities and documentary work examining the plight of the poor in South Carolina – for the most part Arbus used the camera as a licence to enter the specifics of other people’s lives.
She was particularly drawn to marginalised people, who for whatever reason had fallen out of a conventional place in society and were forced (those born into disability) or chose (the nudists, for example) to construct their own identity. To find them, she frequented sideshow alleys and Hubert’s Freak Museum at Broadway and 42nd Street, joined nudist camps in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and visited seedy hotels; she also found them in public spaces, in streets and parks where social rules were often arbitrarily imposed and discarded.
Arbus’s subjects are often seen to play with society’s roles and restrictions. She classified these people as ‘aristocrats’, having achieved a certain freedom from social constraints, and they made her feel a mix of shame and awe.
The prints
Arbus stated that, for her, ‘the subject of the picture is more important than the picture’. There is no doubt that the emotional authenticity of what she photographed was of upmost importance. In keeping with this, she often undersold her skill as a photographer; she often complained of technical difficulties, and others frequently observed that she seemed weighed down by her equipment. In downplaying her relationship to the technical aspects of her work, Arbus sought to emphasise instead her rapport with her subjects. All the same, she was very clear about how she wanted her images to look; she worked hard to achieve a particular quality in her prints, which have a distinct feel and appearance that are quite different from other photographs of the 1960s.
From the mid 1960s, Arbus worked hard to emphasise the photographic-ness of her pictures. She modified the negative tray on her Omega ‘D’ enlarger, which produced the distinctive black border around her images; later again, she used strips of cardboard down the sides of the negatives to blur the edges of her images. Both of these techniques meant that each of her prints is slightly, wonderfully unique. And there is often, as in the cases of Woman with a beehive hairdo and Girl in a watch cap, both made in 1965, damage (tears and marks) on the negative that Arbus has made no effort to minimise or disguise. Close viewing of the collection of photographs held at the NGA reveal ghostly traces of the hand of Arbus. She reminds us consistently through a number of careful and deliberate strategies that we are looking at a photograph that has been made by a particular person.
To know life
Arbus was not alone in photographing the social landscape of America in the 1960s. Others, including Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Milton Rogovin, similarly took to the country’s streets. Rogovin’s life work was to photograph people from poor minority groups, much of his work being made in Buffalo, New York, where he himself lived. Like Arbus, he often knew and befriended his subjects, returning to photograph them over many years, collaborating with them to create images of great dignity and integrity.
Like Arbus, Winogrand and Friedlander were included in the landmark 1967 exhibition New documents, curated by John Szarkowski for the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This was the only major showing of Arbus’s work during her lifetime. While acknowledging that each of the artists in the exhibition had their own distinct styles, Szarkowski characterised them as part of a generation that used the documentary tradition ‘to more personal ends.’ As he wrote: ‘Their aim has been not to reform life, but to know it. Their work betrays a sympathy – almost an affection – for the imperfections and frailties of society’.
An essential aspect of their innovation was the way they positioned photography and the acts of taking and viewing a photograph as an essential aspect of the work. Their photographs were not intended simply as windows to the world. As Winogrand noted when asked how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera, ‘there are no photographs while I’m reloading’. Winogrand, Friedlander and Arbus were fascinated by how the real was translated into the language of photography, and how the experience of the photograph involves a fascinating, multilayered three-way interaction between the photographer, the subject and the viewer.
Garry Winogrand
Winogrand restlessly prowled the same streets of New York as Arbus in the 1960s, working stealthily, capturing people without their knowledge. His viewpoint, one he asks the viewer to join, is unashamedly, unapologetically voyeuristic. He used a Leica M4 with a wide-angle lens and tipped the picture plane, giving his compositions a particular feel. Traumatised by the fraught political tensions of the cold war period, anxiety found its way into the imagery – lending his work an edge that makes for a compelling reading of an alienated and fearful society in the throes of change. His city is a site of unexpected confrontations and strange, witty juxtapositions. Fellow photographer Joel Meyerowitz remarked that Winogrand ‘set a tempo on the street so strong that it was impossible not to follow it. It was like jazz. You just had to get in the same groove’.
Lee Friedlander
Friedlander’s images are invariably about looking and this includes turning the camera on himself. He often intrudes into his hastily grabbed, ironic studies of the city, through reflection or shadow or a pair of shoes. Thus, the viewer of his photographs is constantly reminded that this is an image of the world that is made by someone, in this case, the photographer Lee Friedlander. The works are laconic, witty and intensely personal: and certainly the self-portraits are rarely flattering. Coming at the end of a decade in which a particular, new brand of art photographer had begun to achieve celebrity status, through the efforts of curators like John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art, Friedlander’s self-portraits can also be seen as a shrewd send-up of fame.
Milton Rogovin
Originally trained as an optometrist, Rogovin began his career as a social documentary photographer in 1958, recording gospel services held in ‘store-front’ churches in the African-American neighbourhood of Buffalo, New York. Profoundly influenced as a young man by the impact of the Great Depression, Rogovin reflected that, ‘I could no longer be indifferent to the problems of the people, especially the poor, the forgotten ones’. He worked in collaboration with his subjects, who were always allowed to determine how they should be photographed. His photographs focus on family life, the celebrations and events that bind a community together, and the particulars of an individual’s existence.
The Arbus legacy
Arbus occupies an important place in the development of American photography. Her work has indelibly influenced the way that the documentary tradition has continued to evolve over the last 50 years, with many of the leading contemporary photographers, such as William Eggleston and Mary Ellen Mark, continuing to rethink the tradition, looking back to Arbus just as she looked back to her predecessors. Although it has often infuriated, and continues to do so, those who take issue with the way Arbus photographed the world, her impact on audiences and photographers alike is incontestable.
William Eggleston
While Arbus used the snap-shot aesthetic in her work to increase its aura of authenticity and immediacy, when Eggleston employed the same technique in colour without the abstraction and artistic mediation of black-and-white, contemporary audiences reacted with confusion. Careful observation of the images though reveals a masterful eye, and a sophisticated understanding of the way photography transforms the world. Eggleston’s images are at once monumental and mundane, ordinary and strange, prosaic and poetic. The result is luminous, breathtaking and perfectly banal.
Mary Ellen Mark
The photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark built a career photographing those on the fringes of society, seeking out those who she felt displayed what she described as attitude and often working on projects over many years, slowly earning trust. Her commitment was to give the people she photographed a unique voice, an individuality. Commenting on a body of work, Mark spoke of her desire to let her subjects ‘make contact with the outside world by letting them reach out and present themselves. I didn’t want to use them. I wanted them to use me’.
Mark spent months photographing the New York bar scene at night. This work formed the basis of her first one person exhibition, at the Photographers’ Gallery in London. She reflected at the time, ‘I would like to have the means to travel the whole country and show what America is through its bars. Millions of people who do not want or can not stay at home. The majority of clients are loners, which is why it is extremely difficult to work in these places. I had to make myself accepted’.

While training as a musician in Vienna, Lisette Model studied under the avant-garde composer Arnold Schoenberg, who introduced her to the Expressionist painters of the early 20th century. Influenced by European modernist philosophy and aesthetics, Model abandoned music in Paris in 1933, taking up painting and then photography. She gained initial renown for a series of photographs of men and women lounging in deck chairs along the Promenade des Anglais in the south of France. In 1938, she relocated to New York with her husband (the artist Evsa Model), where she took photographs of exuberant characters on the streets of New York – catching reflections of individuals in store windows and images of feet in motion and holidaymakers around Coney Island. Model taught at the New School where one of her most famous students was Diane Arbus, and was published by Harper’s Bazaar and other magazines.

With its intense red, Eggleston’s picture of the spare room in a friend’s home is one of the most iconic of all colour photographs. Often called The red room, this photograph was intended to be shocking: Eggleston described the effect of the colour as like ‘red blood that is wet on the wall’. But the radicalness of the picture is not just in its juicy (and impossible to reproduce) redness; it is also found in the strange view it provides of a domestic interior, one that Eggleston has described as a ‘fly’s eye view’.

Winogrand was asked how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera. He replied ‘There are no photographs while I’m reloading’: There is no possibility in the Winograndian world view of regarding the camera as a window onto the world; it becomes a mirror reflecting back the photographer’s concerns. Winogrand was fascinated by how the real was translated into the photographic. In the end this fascination became an obsession from which he could not escape or find solace – or meaning. At the time of his death there were a third of a million exposures that he had never looked at including 2,500 undeveloped rolls of film.

“I always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials. But I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.” ~ Lee Friedlander
Friedlander is known for his complex, layered images, exploring the way that the urban landscape fragments our vision. Throughout his career he has found endless fascination in photographing reflections in windows – merging what lies behind the glass with what is reflected in it – out of which he has created juxtapositions which are witty and insightful. He often inserts himself into the image, either overtly or more frequently as a shadow or partially concealed form – part of his face, for instance, hidden behind the camera.
In the 1960s he moved away from a recognisably documentary style toward one in which the subject is more elusive, reflecting a society which had itself become more fragmented and complex. By cropping and cutting up city and natural landscapes he changes our perception of them. In creating compositions that are dynamic, unexpected and often confusing, Friedlander asks us to look freshly at our everyday environments.

“Written with her trademark flair and force, Sontag’s book [On Photography] inaugurated a wave of criticism, much of it influenced by Foucaultian theory, that underscored the instrumentality and implicit violence of photography, its ability to police and regulate it subjects, especially those lacking social and political power: the poor, presumed “deviants” or “criminals,” and workers. As Sontag herself acknowledged, however, photography is not only a predatory means of taking possession, but also a mode of conferring value; it can potentially be put to counter-hegemonic uses, used to see and frame in ways that affirm and legitimate, rather than strictly contain and control, the presence of culturally disenfranchised persons.”
“The power of his art stems from the particular manner in which Rogovin transforms traditional portrait photography and documentary practice, opening up potentially instrumentalist, one-sided visual forms to dynamics of reciprocity and mutuality…”
“Rogovin’s photography thus balances the documentary desire to grasp and present, to “capture” an image of the”Other,” with a commitment to holding back in order to allow his subjects space to shape the photographic process. His practice is a form of”approach,” to borrow a term from Carol Shloss, that resists even as it engages. We might call this an aesthetic of “making space”: a photographic method that creates room for subjects to actively participate in the production of their own images rather than stand as passive objects before a colonizing gaze.”
“The fact that Rogovin’s work at once invokes and questions the camera’s capacity to classify – to embed individuals in a larger archive – echoes his challenge to documentary business as usual. Certainly, Rogovin’s images of working people perform a classic documentary task: to lend public visibility to those who have been overlooked and exploited, to give aggrieved people the social recognition they are otherwise denied in our society. However, his images do not enforce the power and prerogatives of middle-class reformers or governmental institutions, as did so much early twentieth-century documentary photography, which, as Maren Stange has argued, tended to reassure “a 11 liberal middle-class that social oversight was both its duty and its right.” By refusing to provide pity-inducing images of working people that present them as weak and vulnerable, Rogovin’s photographs undercut the sense of privilege viewers often feel when looking at pictures of what Jacob Riis called “the other half.””

Or… Trail Trials and Triumphs
Okay, folks. Buckle up. It’s been several weeks since I’ve had access to a computer to update you on my CDT progress, so this is going to be a longer entry. I’ll try to stick to the highlights!
Since last we met, I have had a few challenges and several exciting milestones along the way. I’ll tell my tales in a chronological order for this one so that you can ride along with the rollercoaster with me.
Finishing the Winds
I’ve loved most of this trail, even the difficult sections. I have to say, the Winds were one of the most challenging, but, oh, they are gorgeous! I took entirely too long to complete this section and included two stops into Pinedale. Pinedale isn’t close to the trail (at least 25 miles away), so I had to get creative and beg rides from fellow hikers. Fortunately, the Winds are an extremely popular hiking destination. Most days, I saw at least 20 other hikers on trail. Some were solo, like me. I also saw several couples, as well as a few larger, organized groups most days.
One of my favorite, yet really difficult climbs was climbing Hat Pass. This steep pass took me several hours, but mostly because I stopped for breaks at the two lakes on the way up. And I kept turning around to get glimpses of the views behind me. Wow.So.Breathtaking. And then the sense of accomplishment when I reached the top of the final ascent. One of the best feelings on these trails is the huge feelings pride and triumph I get from these daunting feats. My chest could burst and my face split with the grin I can’t get wipe away.
Too hot to handle
I took a day off after the Winds and then got back on trail. The shuttle dropped me off at Brooks Lake and soon I was hiking with an older day hiker. She was very knowledgeable about the local geography and geology. We also talked about local flora as we passed them, and she confirmed my plans to deter confrontations with grizzlies (or respond if I saw any).
The next day, I climbed over another pass in good time, especially on a warm day. It got into the mid-high 80s that day. On the other side of the pass, I arrived at the start of a five-mile long burn scar. (Read – no shade.) I found a log to sit on for lunch while I contemplated my next miles. As I descended, I encountered blowdowns every 1/4 mile or so. Some were easy to step over. Most were not and involved long detours or acrobatic clambering over top – with my pack. Because of these continual obstacles, I didn’t use my umbrella. Even though I was descending, the going was slow and I lost the trail a few times on the detours.
About a mile from the end of the burn scar, I needed a break. I was low on water, but knew I would come to a creek in another 3/4 mile. Still, I don’t like to finish my water until I get to the next source. I sat for 10 minutes or so, and had a Cliff bar and some water. When I got up, I started getting lightheaded and seeing black spots. SCARY! I had to grab onto the top of my pack which was sitting on the ground in front of me so I didn’t keel over. I forced myself not to pass out because I didn’t know how long it would be before another person came along. When I regained enough equilibrium, I put up my umbrella and slowly sipped more water for another 1/2 hour.
About 10 minutes after I got up and started hiking again, a few people with pack horses came from the other direction. I briefly talked to them about the lightheadedness I was still feeling, but assured them I would take it easy and rest at the next water. They told me the rest of their group was following and included a medically trained hiker. A large shady area was adjacent to the creek, so I refilled all of my bottles, made some electrolytes, and rested against a green tree while I sipped. The rest of the group came upon me and I talked about the experience with their medic. He suggested some candy in addition to the water and electrolytes, looked me over, and took my pulse. He thought I got a touch of heat exhaustion, but managed it well. Before they left, he confirmed that I would be okay and take it easy for the rest of the day. I assured him I would only go another mile or two before I made camp. The day ended up a good 5 miles short of my goal, but it was too hot and almost passing out terrified me.
The next day was better. I even saw black bear and wolf tracks!
Yellowstone
The last time I was in Yellowstone was 2001. The geysers haven’t changed much. The development around Old Faithful and the crowds have. Good golly, people were everywhere! I stayed at Grants Village Campground in their hiker/biker site the first night. The West Thumb Geyser Basin was only a few miles away, so I went up the road and meandered around before catching a ranger talk. I also indulged in the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. I think I had three plates of food. Thru-hikers can put away some food!
My next campground was at Upper Firehole backcountry site. I had the place to myself. It was a bit surreal to be alone, surrounded by several hydrothermal features when the geyser basins near the roads were crammed full of visitors. On the trail to the campground, I passed within a few feet of several features, so I was careful to stay on the established path. When I left the congested Old Faithful area the next day, I took my time wandering around Upper Geyser Basin before leaving the park.
When in Montana, do what Montanans do!
Since I had recently talked to my daughter about focusing on enjoying my journey instead of worrying about my pace or reaching Canada before October, I am embracing the fun. So, I took another break in West Yellowstone, MT. (See a pattern here about why I take so long to hike?) It was definitely a touristy town, but quaint with its historical buildings. The entrance to Yellowstone National Park was just a block from where I stayed at the historical Madison Hotel. This hotel is one of the sponsors of the local rodeo and had season passes available for guests. They even drove me there and back! I haven’t been to Cowtown Rodeo in New Jersey in probably 10 years, so this was fun!
New hiking buddy
Before I started the Winds, I met Jingerpony and Simple. I saw Jingerpony again in Dubois, WY and we had dinner with fellow hiker Wizard. (I originally met Wizard at the start of my hike back in March and ran into him again in the Winds.) When I got my shuttle back to the trail after West Yellowstone, I ran into Jingerpony, again. He had gotten off trail for a few days to let his feet heal from destroyed shoes and then pick up his new shoes which he had shipped.
We agreed to try to hike together as much as possible through the rest of grizzly country – essentially the rest of the trail. This requires some compromise because he is faster and aims for 20-30 miles per day, while I tend to dawdle and try to hike 15-20. Our first day together, we fell into a good routine. When we weren’t immediately near each other, we met up at breaks and at night. By mid-afternoon that first day, though, we came to a long climb that I wasn’t keen on doing that late in the day. Add into that, a thunderstorm was imminent. Not safe to be on a bald ridge in the middle of a storm.
He had better resolution on his maps and was able to find us a roadwalk in the valley to bypass the ridge and get us back to the highway in a few days. A few hours later, we looked up to the ridge and saw lightning and rain. (We later learned another hiker was struck by lightning on a ridge about 100 miles north of us from the same storm. Luckily, he survived with no apparent ill-effects.) As we approached the drive to a ranch the rain started hitting us on the gravel road. A couple from that ranch was getting ready to drive in and offered us the warm, dry shop for the night. It had a bathroom including a shower, and a carpeted loft with a sofa, table, and mattress. Sold! While we ate dinner, the storm raged overhead. We visited with them when the storm passed and enjoyed watermelon. What a treat!
Blisters…again!
Getting used to a new pace and distance was not without its hazards. After 20-, 24-, and 21- mile days, I developed blisters from all of the long roadwalks. They were in the same locations as the ones that put me off trail back in New Mexico, but on the other foot. We took a zero when we got to town. I dressed it appropriately, and was able to keep it clean, even on trail. A few slower, shorter days and it healed quickly.
The best zero days
We got lucky that first night in town. A large group of SOBOs (southbound thru-hikers) were in town and had made reservations at the local steakhouse. Apparently, this is one of the best steakhouses in Montana and they only prep a limited amount of food each night. Once they are out, they close the kitchen. If you don’t have reservations, you can try your luck sitting at the bar, but you will be served last. Anyway, this group of SOBO had two newly-retired military personnel and they had made extra reservations to accommodate any thru-hikers who happened to be in town that day. We were the only NOBOs, but they quickly absorbed us into their group. So.much.fun! You could tell we were all hikers, though, because amidst all the pitchers of beer, bottles of wine, and shots of whiskey, were at least as many carafes of water that were constantly being refilled.
After our zero, we got a shuttle back out to the trail. We told the driver where we wanted to be dropped off, which was about a day’s hike shorter. He knew a lot about the trailheads and offered to show us another spot he thought we’d like, but would take us back to the requested location if we didn’t like the lake. Morrison Lake was an eye-popping oasis at the base of a steep mountain. This picturesque lake had no outlet, but was fed by a few springs. It was full of trout, and the water was so clear. I didn’t realize how far up trail it was at first, but it ended cutting 3/4 of our hike to the next town. Serendipitous. We took another zero at restful lake. While there, we visited with a few families who were enjoying the day.
One extended family had a few boys who were having loads of fun in the water, splashing, swimming, and kayaking. As they were getting ready to leave, the 9 year old started talking to me and asking so many questions. I loved it! He was really curious about my hike and how I managed life on trail. All sorts of questions, like what I ate, where I slept, how I took care of bathroom needs, bear safety, emergencies. All the questions. I let him pick up my pack and food canister, too. I gave his mom my instagram username so they can follow the rest of my journey. If you’re reading this, HI!!
Wildfire worries
As we straddled the Idaho/Montana border, we were on the actual Continental Divide. Most of the time on the rest of the trail, the trail is a few miles near it and crosses back and forth over it. But for most of this section, we are walking directly on the divide.
I’ve seen and smelled wildfire smoke before, but yesterday the sky quickly changed from a clear day with bright blue skies, to a dull grayish brown. Several ridges we had been able to see clearly were suddenly obscured by the smoke. I was a bit worried. It hadn’t cleared completely by this morning, but the shuttle driver said they often get smoke collecting in the valley from wildfires in Canada and California.
Progress!
I have about 700 miles and 5 care packages left! I think I’m finally feeling like a thru-hiker on this trail. It helps that my new hiking partner and I have come to an understanding about pace. To prevent further injuries, we are going to gradually build miles over the next hundred miles or so until we reach a daily distance that is comfortable and enjoyable for both of us. I still stop for pictures, just not as often, and not dozens of the same flower or butterfly. I think I can actually finish before October. But I don’t want to jinx myself…

Take this opportunity to dust off your customer avatar and have a real good look at it.
Do they look like you?
Same business experience, marital status and interests? What about their dreams and ambitions? Entertainment choices?
I remember writing my first buyer persona way back when and worrying that I was trying too hard to attract people like me.
Where was the diversity? Who was I excluding? Am I thinking too small?
Turns out I was only being human because we have a tendency to like and attract people who are similar to us in personality, appearance, values and attitude.
Behavioural psychologists call this a similarity bias and apparently, we are all doing it all the time and have done it since childhood.
Birds of A Feather Flock Together
Ever watched kids playing in the school ground? From an early age, they divide themselves into boys and girls. Nobody tells them to do this. Schools no longer have segregated entrances. They just do it. Instinctively.

Jeannette Allard
Burlington
Our dear mother Jeannette Allard sadly passed away on August 8, 2022, at the age of 87. She was a wonderful mother who was always there when we needed her. Her kind and loving spirit will be missed. She was born in Berkshire Vermont in 1934, to Emile Philippon and Stella Jette. She spent her youth growing up on a dairy farm near Richford Vermont and had many wonderful stories to tell of those times. She moved to Burlington in 1954. Over the years, she had many friends and was a well-loved member of the community in Burlington Vermont. Everyone that met her thought she was a sweet lady. She was predeceased by her husband, Phillip Allard who died in 1992 and granddaughter, Heather Allard. She is survived by her daughter, Deborah and Robert Daly of Shaftsbury Vermont, and sons Brian and Kristin Allard of Colchester Vermont, Bruce and Marilyn Allard and Gary Allard of Burlington Vermont, Brothers Norman and Lucia Philippon of Los Angeles, California., Albert and Nancy Philippon of Bellevue Nebraska, Robert and Suzanne Philippon of Pisgah North Carolina, Leonard Philippon of Swanton Vermont. She has ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren, three of which live in Kodiak Alaska, all of whom she loved dearly.
During her lifetime she enjoyed camping at Lake Carmi. She took great pride in her yard and gardens and spent many hours there. Some of her favorite hobbies over the years were, country line dancing, crafting, going to garage sales and playing cards with family. She spent many years as a volunteer at the Champlain Valley Fair, which she loved, ushering at concerts, and where she sold her crafts and helped out wherever she could. During her working years, she worked as a secretary at General Electric and later as a cashier for both Price Chopper and PC grocery chains. Her great joy was spending holidays with family, especially Christmas where she enjoyed decorating her home. She will be dearly missed by her family.

Roger Ballard
After joining this world on May 7, 1955, our father, Roger, passed away on June 8, 2022 after an illness. Roger was a troubled man, for sure. But if you got to know him when he was in a good spot, he was the person you'd want to be around. He'd give his shirt off his back for you and tell you the best jokes. His sense of humor was one of a kind. He was in the army until an injury abruptly ended his career. That injury set him up for the rest of his life and the choices he'd made.
He leaves behind his two daughters, Crystal Goodman (and her spouse Tim), Jennifer McSweeney (and her spouse Lloyd) and his son Eric. Roger has five beautiful grandchildren that he would be proud of today.
Due to his strained relationships with his children, we'd like to thank the staff and residents at Queen City Rehab for being there with him.
As his children, we wish we got to see the Roger you all saw toward the end.
Dad, you're finally at peace, with the rest of your family, and that's what matters to us.

our of obituaries Kevin Christopher Deeb
Kevin Christopher Deeb, 53, of 256 Northgate Road, Burlington Vermont passed away at home after a long fierce battle with Pulmonary Hypertension on April 4, 2021. Kevin was a loving husband, of 30 years, to Valerie Leavitt-Deeb and a proud father to Richard Philip Deeb.
Kevin was born to Phillip J Deeb and Mary Jane (Verville) Deeb on September 22, 1967 at Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls, New York.
Kevin was raised in Glens Falls, New York and graduated Glens Falls High school where he played football and baseball. Kevin continued his education studying business at Manatee Community College in Bradenton, Florida after the family moved in 1988.
In 1990, Kevin moved to Burlington, Vermont where he remained throughout his adult life. Kevin was a very hard worker holding down at least 2 jobs most of his life. Primarily, Kevin worked at IBM as a wafer test technician and at UPS as a loader. He often augmented this busy schedule with other jobs like Domino’s delivery and Elderwood Care Center.
Kevin’s true passion was people. Kevin was very sociable and well liked with a personality as bright as his red hair. Wherever he was, he easily met people and welcomed them into his life with a laugh and sarcastic humor. Co-workers enjoyed his company as he set a rapid pace with a laugh and lots of humor. You could always determine Kevin’s presence due to laugh or others laughing around him and usually made jokes at his own expense. Kevin always knew someone everywhere he went no matter if it was the doctors or the people emptying the trash bins, he welcomed everyone equally. Kevin would talk sports all day long if he could as he was a fan of Boston Sports and Nascar. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him and all the kids flocked to his door. During snowstorms he would be out snow blowing everyone’s sidewalk and parking space complaining and loving it at the same time. He would sit on the porch watching the planes fly over on Flight tracker with his binoculars and then tell you all about the flights including stories about why people may be traveling. His favorite was seeing the Green Mountain Boys in their new aircraft. He loved staring into the woods behind the house watching all of the deer’ roam by during the night and hoping at some point he would get a picture of Sasquatch.
The last few years Kevin volunteered as a sitter at Elderwood Care Center until they finally brough him on because staff and residents all looked forward to his presence. He loved interacting with the people, even though most did not realize he was struggling with a disease worse than most of the residents. He enjoyed talking football, hockey and NASCAR.
Kevin’s life was never about him; he wanted the focus on everyone else, never wanting to let on to anyone his personal struggles. Kevin would move heaven and earth for those he loved, trying to be present for every occasion, ball game or whatever was going on.
Kevin was a unicorn in many rights, battling Pulmonary Hypertension for over 20 years, mentoring, and advocating for others who were diagnosed, teaching new physicians and nurses about the disease at University of Vermont school of medicine, and was a trial patient for almost every medicine that is being used for PAH patients today. Demonstrating once again that he gave of himself for others.
Kevin was predeceased by Renee Marie Deeb his sister.
Kevin is survived by his wife Valerie Leavitt-Deeb, His son Richard Phillip Deeb who inherited the same generous spirit and love of laughter as his father, his parents, Phillip and Mary Jane Deeb of Bradenton, Florida, his sister Denee Anne Aldana of Bradenton, Florida and brother Jean-Paul Deeb of Tampa, Florida, the Leavitt and Poratti family’s as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews from the Deeb, Leavitt, Poratti and Aldana families.
Arrangements are in care of Elmwood-Meunier Funeral and Crematorium. In lieu of flowers please feel free to donate to the Pulmonary Hypertension Association. https://phassociation.org/ or contact the Deeb family.

Henry C. Burawa Jr.
7/13/1965-1/9/2021
Henry Burawa was born in Astoria (Queens), NY, to Susan Majores and Henry Burawa Sr. He was raised in the city by his father, grandmother and foster parents. At the age of 8, Henry and his two younger sisters moved with their father first to Utica, NY and eventually to Vermont when he was 13. Henry lived on Alfred Street in Burlington and then at the Allenbrook Group Home. He graduated from South Burlington High School and went on to attend Job Corps in Vergennes and Southern Vermont and Bennington Colleges.
Henry’s career path as a printer at Lane Press was cut short when, at 23, he was severely injured by a drunk driver in a car accident. After spending months recovering in the hospital relearning to walk and talk, Henry went on to work several jobs including cook at Sneakers, St. Joe’s and UVM, inventory stock manager at SAS Auto, janitor at Rice High School, and crossing guard in Burlington.
Henry was proud of his Jewish heritage. He considered himself a “City Boy” and often said “I’m going to fight to be an individual”. Henry earned a black belt at Shover’s dojo, and fondly recalled being told “This little guy has a lot of Bruce Lee in him”. Henry had a unique style with his signature long hair mullet, leather pants and vest, silver jewelry, bolo tie, and perfectly shined boots. He dreamed of opening his own vintage clothing shop called “Cool Clothes for Rockers and Bluesers”.
Henry felt music in his heart and soul, particularly the blues. He loved to share his voice and guitar with friends. Among Henry’s favorite artists were Paul McCartney, the Beatles, Joe Bonamoso, Etta James, Dan Hicks, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, Susan Tedeschi, Wynton Marsalis, Billie Holiday, Seals and Crofts, Grace Potter, and Journey.
Henry frequently said “My friends are my family”. And indeed Henry cherished many best friendships: Kristina Olsen - the Pooh (he was by her side through thick and thin - her bodyguard) and her boyfriend Nick Courville, Marty Connors (who he met at Bennington College and with whom he made music over the years), Rod Billings (his longest friend), Donald Goggins (a close friend since job corps), Stanley Carlson (whose company he frequently enjoyed), Maryanne Billings Charbonneau (“best mom ever”), Barry Emmons (whose woodworking skills he admired), Amanda Clark (with whom he shared fun times), and Christine Connors (who he also loved).
On holidays, Henry cooked elaborate meals to share with his friends as well as those he saw in need. He was a loyal person, always there to pick up friends when they fell. Henry had a generous and giving heart - he enjoyed visiting local thrift stores and would often thoughtfully choose unique gifts for those he loved.
Henry was predeceased by his father, grandmother, sister Nicole and godmother Elizabeth Edgar. He leaves behind his younger sisters Laura and Dawn. He is now surrounded by the many animals that he loved: Bubba, Miss Kitty, Bear Poohs, Rod’s dog Tasha, and sweet Claudia who left this world with him.
Henry wished to be an inspiration to never give up. “You put me in a corner and I’m gonna come out swinging” - “If I can do it, anyone can, I was a wreck”. Help carry on Henry’s legacy. Be loyal to those you love and kind to those in need.
Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life
bringing peace, abolishing strife.

Amanda Louise Dion
Amanda Louise Dion
Burlington- -5/27/1992-10-21-2020
Beloved daughter of Martin J. Dion and Sandra Remick, adoring mother of Amelia Louise Dion, laid down her sword and burdens. She has donned radiant wings and her soul is resting in the arms of Papa Butch and Gramma Arlene. All her departed loved ones are reveling in the glorious Heavenly Kingdom.
Amanda was a fierce defender of children, animals and underdogs. A deep thinker, compassionate, an empath and a visionary. She revered the natural beauty of the Earth and had a personal relationship with her higher power.
Amanda was proud of her Irish heritage and mastery of step dancing. She excelled as a dancer, gymnast, cheerleader, enjoyed all genres of music and absorbed every detail of dance performances, a true artist of many media.
Amanda earned a certificate from Barbizon USA, she worked at Hollister and nurtured her penchant for fashion and a talent for makeup artistry. A lady to her core.
Amanda graduated from Winooski High School. She completed courses at St. Joseph’s College where she was on the Dean’s list and earned credits from CCV. She spent countless hours in research. Her goal was to participate in awareness and advance treatment for childhood cancer. She was a regular donor to St. Jude’s. Amanda meticulously maintained her lovely hair and her wish, which will be fulfilled, was to donate it to wigs for children recovering from cancer.
One of her early happy places was at the stables. She was overjoyed when her dad gifted her with her horse, Remington. But her greatest profound delight was to be with her precious baby girl. Amelia was her world.
Others left to treasure her memories are her grandmother, Barb Dion, her papa, Lyle Remick, the Dion, Remick, Miller, Corley, Martin/Bailey, Tarlton, Clark and Freeman families. She leaves behind her kitties, Alice and Lucas, many friends and especially dearest Randy Zeno Family, Templin, and Daemon.
We will miss her hauntingly deep blue Irish eyes and smile, her sweet voice “thank you Mumma, thanks Dad”. Our brave Honey Girl, Bunum, Sweet Pea. May you now be at peace.
Please remember her at your Holiday meals and gatherings, which she loved. Turkey or chicken breast, mashed potatoes and frozen peas. Consider a donation in her name to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital at http://stjude.org. or mail to 501 St Jude Place, Memphis TN 38105-1942 or C/O Randy Zeno, 199 Woodbury Rd., Burlington, VT. 05408, to aid in the funding of a service dog for Amanda’s daughter, Amelia.

Rene Grimard
Burlington- -
On Sunday, July 19, 2020, Heaven gained a new woodworker. Any printing or backyard mechanic needs can now be taken care of in the afterlife. If paradise is searching for a new Cub Scout Leader or just all around awesome father, Rene O. Grimard is now there.
Rene is survived by his wife of 58 years, Lois. Countless summers were spent on their Goldwing, going to the coast of Maine to eat lobster or
just a morning ride to the P&H truck stop in NH, for, what he thought, was the best breakfast ever. He always said the best food is served where the truckers ate.
Rene was born on May 17, 1937 in Rock Island, Que., Canada, the son of Alphonse and Aurore. Rene had one brother, Marcel (Pam) and his late sisters: Lucille and Anna (LaCount).
He was a loving father of Michael (Hi), Joanne (Richard) Cavallari, Joseph (Judy), Paul (Maria) and Peter (Maryland). It did not matter what time of the day it was if you needed his help, Dad was there. He would show up at your house, with his personal tool belt preferred, to help with any project. No matter how long it took, he was there every day! If you drove off the rode into a ditch at midnight, he would be there to help tow you out. There was an incident one time, he drove up to the Canadian Border in the middle of the night because something was forgotton by one of his traveling kids, and all it cost was a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. When it came to his family, there was nothing he would not do. There was no time of day that he would not answer the phone.
He was a proud Grandfather of twelve grandchildren and even two great grandchildren. An uncounted number of hours were spent babysitting his grandchildren. He never refused a baby-sitting chance. If you could not make it to him, he had no problem traveling to you. “Boca”, his nickname, had no problem getting down onto the floor and playing face to face with his grandkids. There was no problem that he could not fix with a tootsie roll or a stop to the Rite Aid toy aisle.
Rene was and avid member of the community. He was always willing to go above and beyond to help anyone in need. He was a member of the Vermont National Guard in his early years. This continued into a position on the Burlington Police Force. He would often tell stories of patrolling North Street in Burlington in the early hours of the morning before shops were opened. After that, he would work as a Journeyman Pressman for the Offset House Publishing Company, which he would retire in 1999. Post retirement, Rene put in hours as a guide and bus driver at the Shelburne Museum. His wife and children were not his only family, Rene took great pride in helping raise hundreds of kids in the Burlington community. For over two and a half decades, Rene was involved in Burlington Cub’s Scout Pack 15, where he was a Cub Master. Rene was more than just a father to his children, he also shared his time and gifts with the other children in the community. He trained young boys on how to grow up to be responsible adults, just like he was raising his children. Hiking, camping, knot tying, canoeing, being an active and positive member of the community, whatever he could do to help the young scouts grow into responsible adults, he would do. For this the Boy Scouting Association awarded him many accommodations,: the Bronze Pelican, the Silver Beaver and the St. George award were just a few of the many awards that hung on his walls at his home. Many Sundays were started by loading up the family station wagon, grabbing an assortment of 8-track country music tapes and driving to visit all the aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins…too many to name. To Rene, his family was his life.
In lieu of flowers, Rene would like you to donate to the United Service Organization (USO), being in the military himself, he had children and grandchildren who served or are serving his country. He always had a special place in his heart for those who chose to go above and beyond.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, July 25, 2020 in St. Joseph Cathedral with interment following in New Mount Calvary Cemetery. Arrangements by Elmwood-Meunier.

In September of 2002 my agent called and said I'd been asked to go and meet the producers of a show called Doctors. I must confess I'd never seen it, so I sat down and watched the show, trying to familiarise myself with the characters.
Immediately, I realised that the main character (Mac) was played by the actor Christopher Timothy. We'd first met when we did a film together, Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush. I was offered the part of Julia, Mac's ex-wife, and told the character would be in the show for three months.
Almost eight years later, I'm still doing the show and Julia has certainly seen some changes both in her personal and professional life. Over the years she's remarried Mac, lost him again and gained a second surgery - I know which one I'd rather have!
She's been accused of blowing up the old surgery, been in prison, been almost strangled to death by a boyfriend, opened a super practice involving two separate surgeries, moved house and been proposed to by one of the most gorgeous guys on the planet (actor Ray Fearon) and turned him down! What was she thinking, the soppy twit! I mean how many times is THAT going to happen!
On a more personal note, I've watched as Doctors has grown up into a fully fledged stand-alone drama, garnering awards all over the place including best storyline for Vivien's rape at The Soap Awards last year, as well as best single episode at The Soap Awards in 2004, 2007 and 2009, best newcomer at the Soap Awards in 2005, and Michael McKell won best actor and I won best actress at the Royal Television Society Midland Awards in 2008.
It's not bad for a half hour daytime show which has never been actively promoted in a very big way and functions on a tiny budget. That means that all you guys out there who are so loyal to the show have helped, in no small way to make this possible.
I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work with some wonderful, talented actors while doing this show. Some are very well known indeed. This week I'm filming a big storyline with Susannah York, and people like Sylvia Syms, Eric Sykes, Brian Blessed and Barbara Dickson are just a few others who I've been lucky enough to appear with.
I remember the time Barbara came in to play one of Julia's best friends. We were filming in a rather dingy bar in the centre of town and the only place we could sit in-between scenes, wrapped in several layers of blankets because it was the middle of winter, was the loading bay next to the rubbish bins - how glamorous is that?
I also get to work with the best bunch of people in the world. The crew, the people in the production office, make-up artists, costume designers, writers, producers, runners, the art department and many, many more that make up the whole unit, not to mention the regular actors in the show.
In fact we all have lots of laughs every day. To be honest, if we didn't I don't think any of us could sustain the long hours and often trying conditions that we have to film in.
I remember one day in particular when Chris and I were filming all day in a sauna and spa. For some reason we both got the giggles so there were more retakes than there should have been and, consequently, when we finally got out we were both wrinkled like prunes which made us laugh even more, which resulted in even more retakes.
It's being part of such a close-knit team that makes it all possible. Nothing is ever what it seems and because we work three months ahead, we often find ourselves filming a summer scene, in summer clothes in the middle of January, in a snow storm and standing on three inches of ice!
Whenever I get some time off, I travel. It's a passion of mine and the extraordinary thing is that wherever I go in the world, people know me and tell me that they watch Doctors because this show is syndicated and goes out on BBC Entertainment (previously BBC Prime) in dozens of countries all over the world.
One lady who lives in Zambia said that because they get so many power cuts there, she was missing the show so she went out and bought a generator, costing huge amounts of money, just so that she wouldn't miss any episodes! Apparently, all her friends go over to her house to watch the show. How's that for dedication?
During the 10 year run of Doctors some big events have taken place. Pebble Mill Studios was pulled down six years ago and we moved to the BBC Drama Village at the University of Birmingham. The transition was seamless and the show carried on as normal with a new surgery and new surroundings.
Three years ago it was decided that we would run through the entire year instead of being taken off for during the summer. This meant we needed to produce more episodes a year, 234 to be exact, so as there are only seven days in a week, the only way was to extend the days in order to shoot longer. Hence the advent of the dreaded triple banking.
That means three separate crews shooting three half hour episodes each, all filming at the same time! Yeah, I know, it takes some doing to remember where you are in each separate storyline, while shooting nine episodes at any given time and out of sequence, but we eventually got the hang of it.
Triple banking equals speed, so I guess we are allowed to feel proud of what is delivered to your screen five days a week, especially this special 10th birthday week. Here's to the next decade of Doctors!

Obituary for Bonnie Lou Grant
|
en
|
https://www.larkinmortuary.com/obituary/view/bonnie-lou-grant-50
|
Bonnie Lou Davis was born in Independence, Missouri, on September 21, 1934, to Mary Elizabeth and Elbert Halston Davis as the third of their four children. As a child, Bonnie was a daddy’s girl who loved going to Westerns with her father and showing off by riding her bike around the neighborhood with no hands. After the untimely passing of her father when she was 13 years old, Bonnie’s mother moved the family from Independence to Salt Lake City, Utah. There, she attended Roosevelt Junior High and East High School, where she graduated in 1952.
In 1958, she met a charming 6’ 7” returned missionary at the local church dance named Paul Greenwood Grant. Paul was drawn to Bonnie’s southern class and beauty and the two were married in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, on June 15, 1959.
Despite initially expressing a general disinterest in babies to Paul, Bonnie gave birth to their first child a short ten months after their wedding. Over the next 19 years, Bonnie would birth eleven more children, bringing the final head count to an even twelve—seven boys and five girls. Bonnie was very proud of her children—proud of both their individual accomplishments and their statures, often noting that nearly all her children easily surpassed six feet in height.
After Paul retired from a judgeship in 1992, they moved to Jackson, Wyoming. Shortly thereafter, Paul was called to serve in Auckland, New Zealand as a mission president for the Church. At Paul’s side, Bonnie diligently served the missionaries in New Zealand, the Cook Islands, and Nuie Island for three years. During this time, she gained many new friends and admirers and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding landscapes.
After their mission, Paul and Bonnie returned to their retirement home in Wyoming, where Bonnie would be close to the mountain range she so loved—the Grand Tetons. Bonnie’s work then shifted from missionary to innkeeper for the ever-revolving door of family and friends eager to take advantage of Bonnie’s first-rate hosting, which included clean and neatly made beds, delicious meals on perfectly set tables, and a fun-loving tour guide (Bonnie) with whom to explore the close-by national parks.
Paul and Bonnie left their home in Wyoming and moved to Draper, Utah in 2013, where Bonnie would spend the final chapter of her life closer to her growing family. On June 9, 2022, Bonnie passed peacefully in her Draper home while lying next to her adoring husband of nearly 63 years. The room was filled with many of her children and grandchildren who came to bid a loving farewell to the strong matriarch of this large Grant clan.
Bonnie leaves behind a legacy of service, love, strength, and humor.
As a mother, Bonnie was a true “mama bear.” She was an exceptionally tough lady who loved her children fiercely, stood ever ready to defend and support them, and worked tirelessly to keep them well-fed to ensure they would grow big and strong.
Bonnie was a woman of unwavering faith and dedication to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She served her Heavenly Father selflessly through her many Church callings and frequent acts of kindness.
Bonnie was a hard worker and did not waste time in completing a task. You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who could match the speed at which she could type a document, drive a canyon, or peel a potato.
Bonnie loved her life and easily found joy in it. She dearly loved family and was not shy in letting them know with her sweet words, tight squeezes, and long goodbyes. She loved animals—both the domestic animals she cared for in her home and the animals she was so skilled at spotting in the wild. She loved classical music and old movies, often listening to a favorite song multiple times in a day and never tiring of rewatching a favorite film. She loved the outdoors and never shied away from the chance to swim in an ocean or lake, no matter how cold the temperature. She loved watching basketball, particularly the games in which her progeny played. She loved measuring the height of her grandchildren and inviting them, no matter their size, to sit on her lap for a cuddle. She loved to tease and could often be caught with a mischievous grin after successfully pranking an unsuspecting victim. She especially loved to laugh and delivered a signature giggle so infectious and adorable that it will stay permanently in our memories.
Bonnie is survived by her sister Sharon (Stephen) Anderson; husband Paul; children Gregory and Deanne (ret) Grant, Elizabeth and Robert (ret) White, Nathan and Diane Grant, Catherine and John Hunt, Joshua and Deborah Grant, Melissa Grant, Jeremy and Cynthia Grant, Jason and Carrie Grant, Rachel and Tim Taylor, Adam and Jennifer Grant, Seth and Heidi Grant, and Chrissy Grant; and 35 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren (to whom Bonnie is known as “Nana”). She is preceded in death by her parents and two siblings, Virginia Chapman and Eugene Davis. Bonnie leaves us with many happy memories and an example of a service- and joy-filled life that is especially worthy of emulation. We love and miss our Nana immensely. We are grateful to have been a part of her time on this earth. And we will think of her often until the happy day when we see her again.
A memorial service to celebrate Bonnie’s extraordinary life will be held at 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, at the Draper Utah Stake Center located at 13085 South 300 East, Draper, Utah. A public visitation will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, at Larkin Mortuary located at 260 East South Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah. Immediately following the memorial service, a luncheon will be held and hot fudge sundaes served as we celebrate Bonnie's wonderful life.

Of the many hundreds of actors and actresses who have appeared in Crossroads over the years, many have already been established stars; others have gone on to stardom thanks to their start on the programme.
Jon Finch, now an established film star, was a raw, inexperienced actor when he made his TV debut in episode 947. He played a weird and rather offbeat character called Gareth Leyton, and played the role with great assurance. When he left Crossroads, Jon went on to find international stardom.
Another young actor now in the superstar bracket who started out in Crossroads is Malcolm McDowell. He made his very first TV appearance on the programme in episode 643, way back when he was just twenty years old. Can you remember the part he played? Crispin Ryder, a PR consultant. After Crossroads, Malcolm went on to appear in TV series like Z Cars and Dixon of Dock Green, then into films like A Clockwork Orange, If and Oh, Lucky Man.
Another young actor who appeared opposite Noele Gordon in the series, this time one with a famous father, was Andrew Ray, son of Ted.
Actors aren’t the only people who have appeared on Crossroads. When someone was needed to play Monsieur Fabrice, who was demonstrating hair styles at Vera Downend’s salon, the choice was an obvious one. Teazy Weazy Raymond had become a star of TV in the fifties, creating hair styles in a variety series called Quite Contrary. Who better to play Monsieur Fabrice? Incidentally, Teazy Weazy’s wife, Rosalie Ashley, also appeared in the series for a while. She played Jane Mortimer, who died during a brain operation.
When a sequence of magic was needed in one episode, Clifford Davis, New Faces panellist and TV critic was called in. Clifford is also a professional magician, and was asked if he could suggest a way of levitating Diane, played by Sue Hanson. To create the stage illusion on TV would prove very difficult, so Clifford and the production team decided to use trick camera work instead. After Clifford’s spot at the magic convention that was being held at the motel, actor Alan Haines took over and, thanks to trick camera shots and angles, seemed to make Sue float in the air. Millions of viewers were fooled, and the producer decided to end the show with a bang – with a shot of Amy Turtle floating in mid-air!
The popular comic Don McLean started out as an actor, and appeared on Crossroads, playing a member of Benny Wilmot’s group, Georgie Saint and the Dragons. From that he went on to find fame as a comic – remember him on Crackerjack?
Another comic who landed a dramatic role in Crossroads was Stan Stennett. He had to play a gunman on the run who held a couple hostage, and made such a success of the part that he went on to be offered many more serious acting roles.
Do you remember when Ken Dodd made his TV debut as a straight actor? Yes, it was on Crossroads, too. He played the part of a hotel guest, and started off playing the scene straight, but then his famous sense of fun got the better of him, and soon it was jokes all the way. The technicians were laughing so much that they could hardly carry on__
Another face you might remember is that of Diane Keen. She appeared in Crossroads for a long time, playing the part of cheeky Cockney waitress Sandra Gould. In the series she was supposed to have a crush on the motel manager, played by Paul Greenwood – and Diane and Paul ended up getting engaged during the series! Diane went on to appear in The Fall of Eagles, playing Empress Elizabeth of Austria, and in The Cuckoo Waltz, as Fliss.
Wendy Padbury, who appeared in Dr Who as one of the time traveller’s assistants, also started out on TV in Crossroads. She was only seventeen at the time, and played the part of a fourteen-year-old from a broken home, Stevie Harris, who was fostered by Meg.

Eddie was born on September 27, 1933, to Earl and Mollie (Lehman) Kurtz. He was a proud lifelong resident of Greenford, Ohio and a graduate of Greenford High School where he played basketball as part of the Greenford Bobcats.

Monday July 22, 2024 Kathryn Breckenridge Obituary LISBON - Kathryn Anne Breckenridge, a beacon of kindness and unwavering support to her family, passed away peacefully on July 13, 2024, in Salem Regional Medical Center after a short illness. Katheryn was born on May 25, 1941, in Beaver Valley County Hospital in New Brighton, Pa. Her gentle spirit and loving nature were evident from a young age. She was the cherished daughter of the late Edward and LaVerne (Jirak) Collins, who instilled in her the values of compassion and resilience. In 1963, Kathryn united in marriage with her beloved husband, James Breckenridge, embarking on a journey of love and partnership that would span 61 remarkable years. Together, they created a warm and loving home, welcoming four wonderful children into the world, Steven James Breckenridge and his wife Marcy, of Austintown, John Edward Breckenridge and his wife Nicole, of Concord, N.C., Amy Kathleen Smith and her husband Jamie, of Matthews, N.C., and Beth Anne Breckenridge of Youngstown. Kathryn's role as a mother was one she cherished deeply, and her commitment to her family's well-being was unwavering. A proud graduate of New Brighton High School, class of 1959, Kathryn's nurturing instincts found a natural outlet in her dedication to raising her children and supporting her husband. She took immense pride in managing her household and later, in the joy of helping to care for her eight grandchildren, each of whom benefited from her wisdom and tenderness. Kathryn's involvement in her community was a testament to her generous spirit. As a member of the Winona Methodist Church, she shared her musical talents by playing the hand chimes, filling the sanctuary with the sweet sound of her dedication. Her love for sewing extended beyond a hobby, as she crafted countless garments and treasures for her family and friends. Her engagement with her children's activities knew no bounds. Kathryn was an active participant in the Salem Boosters and took on the role of a Band Mom with pride. She could always be found in the stands, cheering on her children and offering encouragement to all. She also served as a Den Leader for the Boy Scouts of America. In addition to her husband, four children, and eight grandchildren, Kathryn leaves behind a legacy of love that includes her two sisters, Elizabeth Coleman of Columbia, Ky., and Susan Leo of Sebring. Her presence as a sister was a source of comfort and joy, and the bonds they shared will remain a treasured memory for all who knew them. Kathryn's life was one of quiet strength, unwavering support, and profound kindness. Those who had the privilege of knowing her were touched by her gentle demeanor and loving heart. She was the embodiment of kindness and love, always putting others before herself and nurturing those around her with a grace that was both rare and beautiful. As we bid farewell to Kathryn, we celebrate a life well-lived, a heart given freely, and a spirit that will continue to inspire kindness and love in all who were blessed to know her. Kathryn Anne Breckenridge will be dearly missed, yet her legacy of love and compassion will continue to resonate within the lives of her family and community for generations to come.

Greenford was not only Phyllis's birthplace but also where she blossomed into an accomplished young woman, graduating from Greenford High School in the class of 1953. It was in this close-knit community that Phyllis met the love of her life, William J. Ferguson. The couple wed on September 30, 1956, embarking on a journey of nearly 68 years filled with shared dreams and unwavering partnership. Phyllis's nurturing spirit extended beyond the walls of her own home. She dedicated many years to caring for the little ones at Quaker Day Care, where she retired in January of 1999. Her work there was not just a job but a calling, as she poured her loving, friendly, and thoughtful nature into the lives of countless children. Her devotion to her family was unparalleled. Phyllis and William were blessed with a son, Mark William Ferguson, and his wife Cyndi, of Modesto, California; and daughters, Mary Beth Reichelderfer and her husband Jeff, of Circleville, Ohio, Janell Ann Petrucci and her husband Tony, and Janette Bowen and her husband Travis of Salem.

Her love for them knew no bounds, and she cherished every moment spent in their company. While Phyllis is now reunited with her beloved parents, one daughter, Janell Ann Petrucci, and siblings, Verla Ann, James, Vernon, and Bruce, who predeceased her, she leaves behind a legacy of love and compassion that will continue to resonate through her family and all who knew her. A woman of faith, Phyllis was a longstanding member of Greenford Christian Church, where she and William had exchanged their wedding vows. Her commitment to her faith was evident in her everyday actions, as she lived out her beliefs with grace and humility. Those who knew Phyllis will remember her for the love she freely gave and the smiles she brought to the faces of many. Her presence was a comfort, her laughter a melody, and her life a narrative of selfless love and service. Phyllis's life story is one of enduring love, a guiding light for us all. As we say our earthly goodbyes, we take solace in the memories she leaves behinda tapestry woven with the threads of her loving, friendly, and thoughtful nature.

Tuesday July 16, 2024 Juanita "Nita" Cushman Obituary Juanita Nita Cushman got her angel wings on July 12, 2024. She is an irreplaceable woman. She never knew a stranger. If you were lucky enough in this life to know her you probably loved her dearly. Despite many grueling obstacles throughout her childhood and young adult life, she chose to rise gracefully above them all. She always chose love and laughter. She was truly hilarious her quick wit was comedic gold up until her last breath and her deep dimples and belly laughter will live on in her family for generations to come. She leaned on her faith in God no matter what. She was a very generous woman, and she was an avid Browns fan since 1980. Against the odds, she and her husband of 63 years, Ronald Cushman, created a beautiful life for themselves and a beautiful family that they loved unconditionally. Juanita was born to Lawrence Sandy and Ruth Marple on February 23, 1941, at home in Salem, OH. When she was six years old, she was given up for adoption to Kate and Shike Breault who lovingly raised her right here in Salem, OH until their passing when she was only 18 years of age. Her biological family moved away but she developed relationships with some of her siblings later in life and is survived by her sister Ruth Hampson Reynolds of Georgia. Nita attended St. Paul School through 8th grade and graduated from Salem High School class of 1959. Nita was someone who left a mark on everyone she met. Children always flocked to her and up until even a week before her death she could be found on the floor playing with the littlest members of our family, cracking jokes and instilling in them her unique gifts of joy and laughter and the safety of being loved for exactly who you are. There are no words for how heartbroken her family is to lose her from this earth. She was loved beyond measure. She leaves behind her husband, Ronnie Cushman, who feels lost without her. They had three children together, their oldest son Charles Chuck Cushman died tragically in a car accident when he was only 28 years old and Juanita has longed for the day she would get to see her son again which brings the family comfort during this time. Chuck had two children, Kyle Cushman and Ian Cushman. She leaves behind her second son, Jeff Cushman of Salem, OH and his four children, Brian Cushman, Brice Cushman, Sidney Cushman, and Cade Cushman. Ron and Nita got their Christmas wish in 1965 when she gave birth to a daughter, they named Connie Sue. Juanita and Connie had the kind of relationship that is all too rare among mothers and daughters. They were best friends. They talked every single day of their lives and the love and memories they shared together will be forever cherished. Connie (58) lives in Columbia, S.C. and has three children of her own, Shea Williams, Bree Pastore, and Alex Whinnery, who all were extremely close with her as well and will do their best to carry on the legacy of resilience, laughter, and love that she built for them. Juanita leaves behind 19 beautiful great grandchildren and counting. It is said that grief is the price we pay for love. In this case, the love our family had for her is limitless and so is the deep grief we will experience in the wake of her transition to be with God. To know this kind of pain means the love was really that remarkable. Juanita leaves behind not the kind of legacy that comes from material wealth or things that can be lost or destroyed she leaves us all with an ironclad legacy of love and devotion that will live on in our hearts and lineages forever. To know her was a gift, to lose her is absolutely devastating, to be loved by her is a blessing from God that can never be taken away and for that her family is eternally grateful for every moment they had with her. In lieu of flowers or cards, the family asks that you pay your respects to Nita by loving your family and friends with all your heart. Life is short even when its long. Be kind to strangers. Take care of your neighbors. Dont let the world make you cold. Make your mark on the people you love because THAT is what truly matters in this life. THAT is what carries on long after youre gone. This is what Nita would want. As Nita wished, there will be no formal services or calling hours. Arrangements are being handled by Stark Memorial Funeral Home.

Hovione was established in Portugal in 1959 by Ivan Villax with his wife, Diane Villax, and two other Hungarian refugees: Nicholas de Horthy and Andrew Onody, the first two letters of the three founders’ names: HO, VI and ON were used to create the name Hovione.
Working initially out of the basement of the Villax family home in Lisbon, Ivan started to research semi-synthetic tetracyclines (antibiotics) and anti-inflammatory corticosteroids.
Success soon followed in the form of royalties that flowed from licensing patents to multinational drug companies. This led to small-scale production and the export of products. As the business grew, Hovione built its first industrial manufacturing plant in 1969. Constructed in Loures, on the outskirts of Lisbon, the new factory enabled Hovione to establish and reinforce its position as a key player in the worldwide market for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
From the very beginning, two factors distinguished Hovione’s products: technological content and quality of manufacture. Being research oriented, the company concentrated on products that were difficult to manufacture giving it an assured market.
60s e 70s
Major commercial success came in the 60s and 70s with the sales of betamethasone and derivative products with Japan as the primary market. Keen to expand in Asia, Ivan Villax opened an office in Hong Kong in 1979.
80s
In 1982, the Loures plant was inspected and approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Hovione launched the semi-synthetic antibiotic, doxycycline, in the USA as the product came off patent. Using Hovione's doxycycline, independent laboratories have increased the total market four times since 1983. Today, Hovione's product still has a market share of 75%. In 1987, dexamethasone dipropionate, a Hovione patented development, was launched in Japan where it quickly became the best selling product in the topical anti-inflammatory therapeutic class. In 1986, a second manufacturing site was opened in Macau, China.
90s
During the 90s, Hovione developed and began supplying contrast media agents. The factory in Portugal was expanded in 1997 with a brand new 200 m3 automated plant. Hovione was now ready to focus on meeting the outsourced manufacturing needs of the Pharma Industry.
2000s
In 2001, a third manufacturing site was opened in New Jersey, USA. This facility combined with Loures and Macau, enabled the company to offer an extensive range of capabilities to innovator drug companies. A growing reputation for outstanding quality led to Hovione becoming a leading provider of drug development services and clinical trial materials.
The breadth of manufacturing capacity provided meant that customers could rely on the company to support development and scale-up across all phases with assured continuity into commercial scale manufacturing. For a short period, Hovione became one world’s largest producers of HIV protease inhibitors.
Extending the range of services offered, Hovione established and expanded its particle engineering services. Pioneering commercial spray drying, Hovione has become an industry leader in this area. The company’s ability to address drug delivery problems allowed it to build a unique expertise in inhalation products. Expanding further in Asia, Hovione acquired a Chinese partner, Hisyn, in 2008 and then established an R&D center in Shanghai. In 2009, a fourth facility in Cork, Ireland was added. Then in 2011, a sales office in Mumbai, India was opened giving the company a true global footprint. In addition, in 2016, Hovione opened its office in Japan, reinforcing Hovione's global position.
Today, Hovione employs 2,300 people worldwide and offers more than 590 m3 of manufacturing capacity. It provides all services related to APIs and IMPs under development (pre-clinical and Phase I to NDA filing) and related to APIs and MPs in commercial phase. During the last 5 years, Hovione has supported more than 70 NCEs in development. Hovione remains a privately-owned, family business.
Message from the Founder Chairman of the Board
Looking back to the year of 2009, when we celebrated Hovione’s 50th anniversary, gives me great pride. The book that was produced plus all the exhibitions and various celebrations, not forgetting the extensive list of recollections written by many of our friends, employees, clients and suppliers, show what we achieved over those five decades, always with the same objective – within the field of pharmaceuticals, giving our clients ever better service and supplying them with the products they require.
Ivan Villax in the 1950's Founder of Hovione, 1925-2003

Biography[]
Diane Abbott was the daughter of Kyle Jenkins, the mother of Kyle Abbott and the grandmother of Harrison Abbott.
Jack, Andy and Victor[]
Figuring that dating Jack Abbott would help her become a top model at Jabot Cosmetics, Diane Jenkins decided to start sleeping with him. She fell in love with him but was left when he wanted to marry Patty Williams as a way to show his father that he was a grown man. Diane and Jack continued their affair after the wedding. Patty miscarried after falling in the company lobby caused by catching Jack and Diane making love. Patty then shot Jack after learning the truth about why he really married her.
Diane came to a conclusion that Jack isn't worth her time and focused on a new love, a detective named Andy Richards. The couple married and led an uneventful life, and Diane began another affair with Jack. Diane left Andy for Jack, but he didn't want her. Disappointed, Diane left for Europe, but even there she couldn't rest. She figured out that she loved Andy, so she returned to town only to find Andy happy with Farren Connor. She left town again.
Ten years later, Diane returned. She began working for Jack again, leaving their families worried that they might hook up. Diane and Jack admitted their feelings for each other and got engaged. Jack's nemesis Victor Newman hatched a plan to steal Diane away from Jack as a way of getting revenge, but he fell for Diane. The couple got married and started living a good life until Diane decided she wanted to have a baby. She was bitterly disappointed to learn that Victor had a vasectomy suggested by his ex, Nikki Reed.
Nikki, A Pregnancy and Paternity[]
Nikki was shot by her husband's ex-wife Veronica Landers and was on her deathbed, so Victor divorced Diane in order to marry Nikki before she died. A twist of fate kept Nikki alive, while Diane was hoping that Victor would be able to remarry her. Victor and Nikki realized they still loved each other and decided to get married for real. Diane didn't take this easily and decided to get revenge. In their divorce settlement, Diane got a board seat at Newman.
Diane was taken by surprise when she learned Victor had his sperm frozen at Robertson Labs, so she arranged to get it in order to get artificially inseminated. Several people found out about it and the sperm was stolen and transferred various times. When Diane finally got her hands on it again, she rushed to the doctor to get inseminated. Diane gave birth to a boy and named him Christian Victor Newman then told Victor that the baby was his child.
A DNA test proved that the baby wasn't Victor's, and Diane left town not long ago after that. What Diane didn't know was that Nikki switched Victor's sample, and she was shocked to learn that it was Jack's sperm. Keen on finding out if Diane was a good mother, Nikki tracked her down in Milan and went to see her. Nikki decided to keep quiet about the baby's paternity. Diane returned to town not long after that trying to find out why Nikki went to see her.
Kyle, Phyllis and Emily[]
She renamed the baby Kyle and eventually found out that Jack was the father. Jack, who was at the time involved with Phyllis Summers, sued for sole custody of Kyle but didn't get it. Diane got custody of the baby but wanted Jack back. She moved into the Abbott pool house and started playing games with Phyllis. Jack made an agreement to let Diane stay at the pool house but forbid her to get near the main house. One night, the pool house was burned down with Diane barely surviving.
Phyllis was the main suspect for arson, but was able to prove that Diane set it up to look like Phyllis wanted her dead. Jack and Phyllis were able to get custody of Kyle. Diane's life got a bit better when Andy returned to Genoa City and they started dating again, but he left not long after he arrived. Diane broke any attachment to Jabot and Jack decided to give her Kyle back. She started working on a project for Newman with Drucilla Winters, but the project didn't last long. Diane then left with her son.
In late February 2010 to early March 2010, Diane made a brief return visit to Jack with their son Kyle Abbott as a surprise arranged by Jack's new wife Dr. Emily Peterson as a wedding gift. In the process of her return, Diane had a run in with her longtime nemesis Phyllis and, unbeknownst to Diane as well as everyone else, she also came face to face with Jack's first wife Patty Williams who was posing as Emily after causing Emily to be hospitalized and unconscious. Diane then departed Genoa City for Vancouver with Kyle once again.
Diane Returns, Victor and Financial Troubles[]
In October, 2010, Diane returned to town with Kyle so he could be with his dad. Tucker McCall offered her a job and Diane decided to move back. She and Tucker slept together during a storm when they were supposed to be signing a contract. Phyllis wrote an article about Diane's past and Tucker fired her. Diane attempted to blackmail him but it didn't work out. In November, at the Genoa City International Airport, Diane was stressed because she missed her flight to New York for a job interview.
While waiting for the next flight, she ran into Victor. Diane was taken aback when Victor offered to fly her to New York on his private jet. Diane blew her job interview. Diane was drowning her bad interview sorrows in a drink when Victor approached her table. Diane asked Victor what the hell he was up to before joining her for a drink before launching into a monologue bringing him up to date regarding Kyle's discovery of the Restless Style article and how it felt to admit to her son what kind of person she'd been.
Victor asked her if things were really that bad. Diane said it was when the one person she could confide in was an ex-husband who once wished her dead. Then she asked Victor what he was doing in New York. He told her to forget it because anything he said would be used against him - experience had taught him that. But he said if anyone controlled their destinies it was him and Diane. Mr. Henderson at the Genoa City Athletic Club told Diane that she needed to pay her bill as the credit card she gave them was declined.
Jack Steps Up, Phyllis and Diane Hash It Out[]
Diane could barely suppress her glee when Jack offered to take Kyle for the weekend adding that Kyle was his number one priority and he made that very clear to Phyllis Summers. Later, Diane ran into Phyllis at the Genoa City Athletic Club. Phyllis tried to get past Diane by saying she had an appointment. Diane said she hoped it was with a therapist because any woman who would hurt an innocent child in an attempt to hold onto her man clearly needed help.
Phyllis said she didn't write the article to upset Kyle. Diane asked what she thought would happen when he read it. Phyllis said usually a mother had parental controls on her kid's computer. Diane said she was a good mother but Phyllis was a selfish woman who used Kyle to get her claws into Jack. Phyllis said she would love to stay and giver her an equally insightful analysis into her character but she had to get her nails done. Diane said yes, she had to keep them sharp in case she decided to stab another unsuspecting child in the heart.
Phyllis asked if Diane really wanted to make a scene in the town where she lived with her son. Hadn't she embarrassed him already, Phyllis asked. Diane just stared at her. Phyllis said to mark the date that Diane Jenkins actually exercised some good judgment. Diane said it would be a crying shame if one day some of her past indiscretions came out and Summer had to hear about them. Later, Diane ran into Phyllis after her manicure and asked why she was in such a rush since she knew it wasn't a date with Jack.
Phyllis, Phyllis, Phyllis[]
Phyllis said she didn't know where Diane had heard that. Diane said Jack told her. She said she guessed that little romp on Phyllis' desk was not enough to get him to forgive her for what she did to his son. Phyllis said Jack knew how she felt about Kyle. Diane said he also knew how much Kyle despised her. She said Jack had waited a long time to be a father so if he had to choose between his son and Phyllis, he would choose his son.
Phyllis said that's what Diane was hoping and was her goal because she and her son were a package deal. Diane said she was just looking out for her boy. Phyllis said if she was looking for people that upset him, she should look in the mirror. She said Kyle was upset with her but he was much more upset with his mommy. Phyllis said she wrote those things in Restless Style but Diane did them. Diane lunged for Phyllis just as Jack came in and raced to separate the women.
Diane and Phyllis called each other names. Jack dragged Diane into a waiting elevator where she told him that she though his desire to protect her from Phyllis could mean he still had feelings for her. Jack corrected Diane telling her he was protecting Phyllis. Diane said she wasn't so sure and kissed him. Jack told Diane he felt nothing. She told him thanks for nothing and got out of the elevator. After she was gone, Jack spotted an envelope on the floor of the elevator - it was Diane's bill from the Genoa City Athletic Club with a big red past due stamp on it.
Recent Developments[]
In December, 2010, Diane took a job as an architect with Victor Newman at Newman Enterprises. After Victor left Nicholas Newman's house, Diane stopped by and seductively asked Nick if he was free for lunch. After Nick pulled Diane inside, they kissed passionately. Diane arrived at the ranch house and told Victor that she hadn't meant to sound ungracious at the coffeehouse. Diane said she'd decided to take Kyle Abbott to Toronto for a visit. Victor explained that Diane's timing was perfect because he would be busy handling a business crisis.
Death[]
Yet, suddenly everything fell apart as Adam received a grand jury indictment, which included information Diane gave the DA, which in turn of events, put an end to their plan. Later, Diane interrupted Nick and Phyllis Newman making love, and in return, Diane received a restraining order to stay away from Phyllis after she attacked her. Then, a suspicious Jack threatened Diane not to pull any more tricks regarding Kyle and to get a hold of him immediately. She would bring Kyle back, in exchange for them returning as a family, and Diane ended up getting naked in front of Jack. He turned her down, and Diane claimed Jack would never see Kyle again. Building her own attack on Victor, Diane also teamed up with Deacon, so that she got the video of Abby confessing that she ran over Tucker.
With this leverage, Diane filed a lawsuit against Nikki, claiming that she destroyed her marriage to Victor. When Victor heard this, he threw Diane's camera with the footage of Abby into the fireplace, but Diane claimed that she had made copies already. An angry Victor threatened Diane to stop and once he left, Diane phoned the police that Victor threatened her and tried to attack her after she showed him pictures she had of him and Nikki together. Victor was later arrested for domestic abuse. Not only that, but the picture of Victor and Nikki was eventually leaked to the press by Diane. Victoria Abbott and Nick ended up confronting Diane about her attacks on the family and claimed that they would plan revenge against her. Diane tried to get Nick to pay her to leave town, but he declined. Diane also snipped with Ashley Abbott McCall, when discussing her having the footage of Abby. During their argument, Diane mentioned her affair with Tucker. Ashley responded by slapping her. Earlier, Tucker told Victor that he would be forced to take care of Diane, since Victor couldn't do it the first time. Diane ended up running into Adam again, and he proposed that they team up again, in exchange for her recanting her testimony. She agreed, and Adam gave her a significant amount of money. Diane ended up text messaging everyone to meet her at a river, but it isn't what happened or whether or not it had anything to do with her plan with Adam to fake her own death. Later that night, what is believed to be Diane's corpse is lying in the river.
With Diane now allegedly dead, members of the Newman & Abbott families who were in recent contact with her (hours before her "death") are under investigation for it. The next morning, all possible suspects seem to act suspiciously and quite possibly act as if they had contact with Diane or were at the park. Eventually, Ronan Malloy returned to Genoa City to head the investigation along with Paul Williams. During the course of Ronan's interrogation of the suspects, Victor, Adam, and Jack all think back to meeting with Diane later that night, but don't tell Ronan. Apparently, Adam and Diane began to step up their plan as they tried to frame Victor for her murder. However, Adam grew angry with Diane when she announced that she would give the SEC the information of the reporter who Adam dealt with the day of the Newman IPO. Diane also met with Jack that night where they fought about Kyle.
When Diane met with Victor, she announced to him that Adam was hoping to set him up for her "murder". Later, everyone that met Diane at the bridge in the park had flashbacks of the night. Phyllis Newman has an encounter with her, and they fight over "their years of unfinished business". During the fight, Phyllis chips one of her painted nails, which Ronan finds later to use as evidence. Tucker also arrived to settle things with her, and slams her to a tree while attempting to choke Diane, who pushes him into the bushes. His step-daughter, Abby Carlton Abby Newman, also arrives. Diane threatens that she'll let the world know about who really was behind the wheel the night of Tucker's accident, as she has the video of Abby confessing it. Abby asks how much money Diane would wants, but Diane answers by saying that the only thing she wants is for her to wake up in the morning, knowing that her life will be ruined by one Diane Jenkins. They begin the most violent fight yet.
Later on, Nick comes to meet Diane, they get into a fight, and while she's being held by Nick, she turns on her phone only to dial Ashley Abbott's number. Ashley arrives shortly afterwards. Her and Diane have a dispute, saying that Abby should have just confessed in the first place, without making a video at all. Diane says that it's ironic, because of the fact that she might have a video of her and Tucker's affair. Angry, Ashley calls her a bitch and pushes her very hard so that she falls down. Diane runs away, but Ashley runs after her and unknowingly drops her phone. Victor turns up as well, and Diane hoped that he would help her, but he refused and they fought. As they were fighting, Victoria Abbott arrives at the scene, shocked, and turns around to leave.
In early 2012, it is revealed that Diane's killer is Nikki Newman. However, according to a video that was found by Ronan, it shows that Diane at first attempting to attack Nikki with a syringe and then begins choking her to death. Nikki picks up a rock and bashes Diane in the head, killing her. Ronan tells Nikki that she killed Diane in self-defense. Although arrested at first for her murder, Nikki is eventually exonerated as the judge also believed it was self-defense.
Diane last appeared in flashbacks to Nick Newman, Abby Newman, Ashley Abbott, Tucker McCall, Victor Newman, Phyllis Summers Newman, Jack Abbott, Victoria Newman Abbott, and Adam Newman.
Diane Returns[]
In March 2022, Diane turned out to be alive and sent Jack mysterious texts to inform him about his son Keemo Volien Abbott's death and the existence of his granddaughter, Allie Nguyen. Later, Diane meets Allie under an alias "Taylor Jenson", while purchasing her father's former home. After Diane reveals herself to Jack, she explains that she faked her death with the help of Deacon Sharpe, because of her actions in Genoa City, which lead for some people wanted her dead, so she decide to leave Kyle with Jack. After, Diane fake her death, she kept up with Kyle's achievements, including a recent photo of Kyle as a young man.

Moving on Is Fraught With Emotional Minefields in the Final Season of ‘Divorce’
Alci Rengifo
As we get older moving on from a relationship gets trickier, especially if we’re talking something that was long term and left much lingering, unfinished business. The third and final season of HBO’s “Divorce” understands this all too well. It’s the shortest season yet at only six episodes, but that’s enough to bring a new mood to the tale of Robert (Thomas Haden Church) and Frances (Sarah Jessica Parker), who have no legal ties but definitely emotional ones. But they are attempting to move on, discovering that maybe new relationships don’t always fill the void.
It’s a post-divorce situation now and Robert is having a major life development with fiancé Jackie (Becki Newton), who is pregnant. With wedding plans underway and Jackie getting into OCD mode over every detail, Robert appears to be starting anew. Meanwhile Frances is now living in New York City and seeing Henry (James Lesure), a small-scale entrepreneur who forgets to tell her his own divorce isn’t finalized. For work Frances joins an urban birding group, which features a colorful staff. Robert himself is helping coach his daughter’s high school basketball team, which entails not getting along with the other coach, Jeremy (Dominic Fumusa). Remember Nick (Tracy Letts)? He’s in jail now for his Ponzi schemes. This means Diane (Molly Shannon) has to get a real job. She finds one in retail, but making sure the clothes are displayed properly proves to be a real hassle. Over at her therapy practice Dallas (Talia Balsam) is so done with it all her patients start to notice and sue.
Liz Tuccillo, a longtime industry name who has written for shows like “Sex and the City,” takes over as showrunner this season, guiding the narrative into new territory. No longer is the emotional bloodbath of the divorce itself the focus, but how Robert and Frances operate in their new social reality. Thomas Haden Church was keen to discuss this when he recently sat down with Entertainment Voice. “The tonality of the first and second season was so distinctive, the third season we wanted to have everything cast in a different spotlight of what this family could be moving forward after so much that was divisive,” said Church. “Robert is still a very traditional guy. Even though I’m in my 50s, and Jackie is quite a bit younger, this is what you do, you get married, you follow through. It might not be totally the direction he should be going, there might be some misgivings about who they are together, but he sort of buries it.”
This goes to the heart of season three, which is about everyone attempting to find their new balance. Even the kids are going through transitional phases. Tom (Charlie Kilgore) is hesitant to go to college, telling Frances that Jackie didn’t need it and makes good money. This of course creates deep friction between Frances and Robert’s fiancé. Lila (Sterling Jerins), who is a bit underwritten this season, would probably prefer to survive high school without her parents making scenes in public. But the stars are the adults, who feel as if they are in these new relationships for the sake of avoiding complete loneliness. Jackie has to remind Robert that she’s never been married, much less been engaged to a man with an ex, so for her having a perfect wedding is a big deal. She also begins to suspect Robert is not completely emotionally detached from Frances. A tense dinner scene where the four sit together exposes passive aggressive impulses and covert feelings. When Robert nonchalantly reveals that Jeremy asked him for permission to ask Frances out, Frances is surprised at how a jealous Henry tells her she can do whatever she wants. Was that his intention? “It starts to emerge in a variety of ways that he’s a little too concerned about what’s going on in Frances’s life, and not being attentive enough to elements in his relationship,” said Church. Robert even finds himself defending Frances from the cutting taunts of his obnoxious sister Cathy (played with acidic fury by Amy Sedaris).
“Divorce” has always been more drama than pure comedy, but this season has an even greater seriousness. There is still much hilarity, especially in an episode where Frances and Robert go on a field trip with the girls’ basketball team, resulting in teen debauchery and Robert being propositioned by the front desk clerk. But even storylines such as Diane attracting an 80-year-old man who offers to essentially be her sugar daddy are less about the laughs than about characters facing challenging decisions. As with season two, Church was more heavily involved as a producer. “The real stamp of approval, which was really cool for me, was that they gave me a producing credit in the second season, and I’ll have it again this season. It’s essentially saying ‘hey man, we’re acknowledging you’re doing a lot more than just showing up and saying your lines.”
What truly continues to carry the show is the very organic bond onscreen between Church and Sarah Jessica Parker, who still play these characters without pretensions of melodrama. There are no cheesy or stolen kisses, no dramatic monologues about love. They deal with it all like real adults. When Frances opens up to Henry about what their relationship means the dialogue is sparse and honest. Robert’s funniest lines are muttered under his breath when walking by Jeremy or when lecturing a team members’ boyfriend for trying to sneak into her hotel room. But it feels like this could be happening somewhere right now. Yet there is a special, sentimental charm in how Frances and Robert have grown. In a sense they are left on equal footing, both trying to figure out if these new partners are what they need. “While the characters clearly evolved thankfully I had just as much fun with Jessica shooting the pilot as on the last day of the 24th episode. I just enjoy her company. I adore her and everything she stands for. She’s a fiercely independent and proud professional, mother, wife, member of a family. She loves her brothers and sisters, parents. She’s so dedicated to everything that it’s just honorable,” said Church about his co-star. “She wants to represent everything that is hopeful and uplifting.”
The season does close on a note that avoids dreariness. Tough decisions are made by the characters concerning their new relationships, but with an open-ended spirit. There’s no finality because life itself keeps going. Frances’s new co-workers are slightly offbeat, like the woman in the office who can’t stand dripping food, but she sees potential. Diane realizes being kept by a rich old guy has its perks, like her own lavish apartment and some privacy, and it’s hard for us to judge her. We love and lose, then we try again.

Woodmen, their wives, children, sweethearts and friends living with them are to enjoy the pleasures that will be provided for the occasions. Feasts of good things for the inner man and intellectual treats in the way of addresses, music, etc., will also be on hand to be served hot as needed. Outdoor amusements of every conceivable sort will be on tap to freshen the appetite and stir the blood. In short the best picnic time ever held in Greenwood is to be eclipsed on Sept. 25.

How attending a high school reunion can really shake things up. However nerdy we were, we are now all cool.

|
Want to make some new friends? Want to connect with other older women? Then join our closed Facebook group, The Ethel Circle, today. It's very special.
My friend Juliann wore a colorful Lilly Pulitzer shift dress and lipstick in bold “look at me” red.
She’d turn heads on any day, but on this day, her presentation was particularly keen. It was our 50-year high school reunion, that once-in-a-lifetime weekend when insecurities installed as far back as in the first grade return like emotional boomerangs.
Juliann slathered her lips in a fresh coat of crimson and whispered to me: “You see Larry over there? He teased me from elementary school on because I was overweight. He tormented me! By our 20th reunion, I had lost weight and wore a size 8, and I walked right up to him and said, ‘Hey, Larry! Who you gonna call Fatty now?’”
Ah, reunions — the universe’s opportunity for a redo.
Today, Juliann and Larry are friends. She is thinner than he is, as if that matters. There’s no such thing as a wallflower at a 50-year reunion. If you’re brave enough to show up, you’ve bloomed.
The smart kids, the jocks, the cheerleaders, the stoners, the beauty queens, the theater nerds, the band nerds, the lonely nerds — after 50 years, we’ve simmered into one stew.
I’ve been to every reunion of Lake Worth High School’s Class of 1974. I felt comfortable in high school as a solid member of the B Team. If my acne had cleared up, I might have had a shot at the A Team for one hot second, but I found the B, C and D teams more interesting anyway, as people with something to prove often are. Hence, I became the editor of the school newspaper.
Here’s what I know after 50 years…
Roots matter. High school puts people in containers, like flowers planted in rows. This one’s tall and skinny, this one’s squat and bushy, this one grows only in direct light and this one relishes the shade. No matter how differently you blossom, there’s value in being rooted in the same place.
My class was cultivated in a literal hothouse: Lake Worth High School, built in 1922, the oldest continuously open high school in Palm Beach County, Florida. By 1974, many of our classrooms were still not air-conditioned. In this peaty mix, our class of 505 grew, and we smelled peaty, too — all those teenage hormones mixed with sweat and chlorine from the school pool and salt from the ocean two miles away, just point your bike due east.
Winds of change turned up the heat in 1971, when we were sophomores. Forced integration brought forced busing — and launched us into a wider world. We proved resilient.
It’s never too late to be kind. Take it from Juliann and Larry — one apology can heal decades of hurt. And who knows what secret fears a classmate might feel?
A woman wearing sunglasses approached me at this reunion. “Hi, Jan, you won’t remember me,” she began. “I only went to Lake Worth High for my senior year, then I moved away.” But when Laurie Proffitt told me her name, I did remember. “You have the most beautiful blue eyes,” I said. Laurie pulled her sunglasses down — and sure enough, there were those crystal-blue eyes, now with a few wisdom wrinkles.
Laurie had moved to the Midwest and lost touch with us, but when she heard about our reunion on Facebook, she thought, “Why not?” Now she’s back in the fold with her new old friends.
It can take time to become comfortable in your own skin. I’ve known Marc Gold since I moved to Lake Worth in fourth grade. My 9-year-old mind reduced him to kid-code: “Smart, nice, semi-cool dude who lives over by the ballpark next to the tall and smart Ken Simmons.”
Marc was shocked when I told him I always thought he was cool. He thought he was the world’s biggest nerd, and so unsure of himself compared to Ken, who announced in elementary school that he would become a veterinarian. If not for one classmate of ours — the kind and model-beautiful Vicki Mason — Marc said he might have never felt he belonged. “Vicki had a way of making me feel I was special,” he said.
He was speaking to Vicki’s high school sweetheart, her husband, Tom, at Vicki’s memorial dinner.
Too quickly, old friends become absent friends. Vicki died April 18, the day before our reunion, of complications from the dementia that stole her voice but never her smile. Ken Simmons did become a vet — one of the most successful vets in Florida. He died five years ago when the Piper Saratoga he was piloting vanished in bad weather during a flight to the Bahamas. His wife, Alice, and their two golden retrievers perished with him.
Nearly 50 of our classmates are gone now, though they remain with us at every reunion … especially now.
Life requires us to begin anew, over and over again. Vicki’s husband Tom must now begin anew without his love of 52 years. Juliann has outlived two husbands and now enters another new chapter — retirement from her education career. Two other high school friends are facing divorce after being married for 45 years.
One of them, Pirjo, felt bereft when her husband left, but she knew where to find comfort and courage. She got in her car and drove to Massachusetts, to the home of her dear high school friend Jan. “I drove through New York City twice!” Pirjo exclaimed, hardly believing her bravery.
Life is a mental and physical traffic jam of transitions. They keep coming, and we must keep going. That’s the biggest lesson from my 50-year reunion: when life calls us to begin again, it’s our old friends who remind us that we can … because they were there when we first began.
Have any of you attended a high school reunion? How did it go? Let us know in the comments below.

Who better to share their views and memories of Crossroads than those who watched it night after night…
NEW 2021: I can’t remember to what extent I appreciated the series in its early heyday but sometime in the last dozen years or so I realised how much I missed it. I had bought the episodes including the wedding / fire on VHS (gone) & later got a couple of series on DVD. It was only when their prices suddenly shot up that I stopped looking for them temporarily.
TBH I don’t remember poor Ann George fluffing her lines or any wobbly sets I’ve heard mentioned. Who cares anyway!? All part of the fun even if true!
All I know is there was this kind of atmosphere about the show that’s hard to put into words. Unlike most other soaps I generally felt it didn’t go too far just to get ratings. I admit one aspect I enjoy is a taste of that exciting feeling you get when you go on holidays & stay in nice hotels or motels.
I remember it had a brief Renaissance some years back. It’s a pity it was indeed all too brief & I believe they should have persevered with it. One thing we’ve got to do is try to find actors that will stick in the heart as much as the likes of the great Noele Gordon.
Anyway, I must try to find more DVD series soon!
NEW 2021: Crossroads is slated nowadays but back in the day it was on the lips of everybody. It was far better than EastEnders etc.
–John Kidd
I like Crossroads because its the only soap that seemed believable in its structure to me. You didn’t have people working and living all in the same place. People lived in lots of different areas, Castlewich, Merryfields and Heathbury etc. They travelled to work at Kings Oak or at the motel and didn’t all live in the same street. They didn’t all know each other’s neighbours and didn’t all get on or drink in the same pub or meet in all the same places. That’s the more realistic side to Crossroads, and that’s why I loved it.
As for wobbly sets, they didn’t treat the viewers like idiots by changing sets completely without explanation, which seems to happen more and more these days.
– J Watkins
I have so many happy memories of Crossroads. I watched from the start as a little girl of 6 and continued until 1988. I did watch the new versions but I’m afraid after they killed off Jill it could never be the same for me. Initially, it was the characters of Meg Jill and Sandy which I especially enjoyed. That remained the case over the 23yrs and I felt so sad when Roger Tonge died followed by the sacking of Noele Gordon.
1981 was a sad year for the show. I sadly only met Noele once just before she left the show. I’ve been to her grave in Ross on Wye several times. I did write to her a number of times and have some personal replies. She was wonderful. Jane Rossington, I did meet a number of times outside the Central Studios in Bridge Street. I remember writing to her when Sorrel was about a year old and got a lovely letter back including a helped signature from Sorrel. I was fortunate because I met a good number of the cast in the same way and most were lovely to chat to. Ronnie Allen and Sue Lloyd were lovely when they got engaged and I handed them a card.
Susan Hanson was another and I also met her when she appeared in a show in Glasgow. I’m so looking forward to watching episodes on DVD. I only have to hear the signature tune and I get a lovely feeling.
– Sheila Clark
I lived in Birmingham from 1970-1973 and I was an avid Crossroads fan, I never missed it. One early evening, around 6.30 pm, I was cutting through the underpass at Digbeth and walking towards me was Noele, deep in conversation with a man, who I just assumed was a producer or director of the programme.
She looked fabulous and was dressed in a beige trench coat with the collar turned up, earrings as always and her hair immaculate. I would have loved to have stopped to ask for her autograph but I respected her too much to intrude. She looked every bit the star.
– Barbara Gregory
It is true of Crossroads that its history, like all histories, has a habit of being re-devised. Some critics who need pages to fill, write about ‘shaking sets’ ‘wooden sets’ as if sets are made from anything else and or dodgy acting.
Ask any of em to name two scenes that the walls shook? and you get no answer. Ask them to name one scene? and again, no answer! All television shows in the 1960s were dodgy and as Crossroads ‘had’ to produce 5 episodes, it put its head above the parapet to be shot at and was. This history followed it. From the 1980s the standards of scripts and cast were extraordinary. I will avoid the ‘new’ 2001 versions which ironically, DO deserve the criticisms.
I have evidence of hundreds of times Coronation Street featured sets shaking – Ivy Tilsley’s stairway shook from episode to episode – have these shaking sets been mentioned? The conspiracy theory followed the show since the 60s and manifested in many different ways!!
There were few ‘ordinary’ characters and many, many, extraordinary characters when written by Raymond Bowers – think a contemporary Oscar Wilde – that’s how he wrote – add Michala Crees, David Garfield, Arthur Schmidt and Alan Wiggins, lent their tremendous talents to its unique way of writing. Each writer for 12 months had 3/4 storylines. Each story would be solely written by one writer and the three storyline narratives would unfold in every episode. These writers could write today’s generation of writers, this one included, under the table.
The live feel of each episode; scene one to scene five and End Of Part One, would be recorded without stopping unless a mistake did occur and this made it more like a theatrical experience; it was exciting and rather like the Coronation Street’s live episode a few years ago – who was interested in the melodramatic and sub-standard plots? More likely it was that live element. Unlike today’s soaps, Crossroads did have rehearsals!
As soap history clearly tells us, if women are in charge as producers/executive producers or even worse, as writers, a soap will hit the buffers. All three attempts to cancel the programme were made when women were in charge! The public loved Crossroads all 15-18 million of them, remarkable considering it was a ‘tea time’ show – no programme before it or since had that much success for that length of time. I am proud to be have been part of its family and enjoy mightily seeing again episodes
– Arnold.
I played bingo with Noele in 1972 at the ATV Studios in Birmingham – I won – 25 pounds – Noele was very pleased for me and her and her mother Jocky had tea with me.
A great lady.
– Philip Wilkinson Blake
Just been reading the 70s reminiscences on your web site and thought you might like to see a couple of old cuttings I found in a dusty old scrapbook of mine. I, too, remember the old Trethowan Twins and have similar memories of them. Luckily, I saw the episodes twice as our local TV area stopped Crossroads for about six months at the end of the 60s but it was still going everywhere else.
It then restarted up again about six months later so London, for a while, was 6 months behind the rest of the country so I watched two weeks episodes involving the Trethowans in the Isle of Man on holiday in Maytime 1970 and then watched it again at home six months later. Can’t remember how and when London caught up with the rest of the country again.
I believe it was Jill who got caught up in the witches coven and my memory of an episode end was Peter Hope and another character (probably Paul as your reminiscence shows) crept into the church (or wherever it was) where the witchiness was going on and Peter Hope suddenly whispered “Jill” and the camera showed Jill in some kind of robe. Bit sketchy, but the memory does cheat at times.
I, too, was hoping some of these episodes would be on the DVD – but do they still exist? Sad to see that 1966 is the earliest existing episode of Crossroads.
Anyway, I ramble on. Heres the cuttings from my scrapbook. Hope you like them.
– Best Wishes, Pete
April 1970 was the first time I saw Crossroads. I was only 11 at the time and I think what attracted me to it at first was that it was a serial. I loved cliff-hanger endings. My memories of Crossroads are as follows:
Two crooks had taken over the antique shop in the village and were holding Barry (?) and his father prisoner until a package arrived.
Granny Fraser was staying at the motel and was causing all sorts of problems. And just when she was leaving and everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, she fell outside and had to be carried back in. Wendy Padbury (formerly Zoe in Doctor Who) was in it at that time.
Sandy was helping an American (played by David Healy) write a book or something like that. Tish met Ted Hope, but he had a rival for her affections when an old flame of hers, Roland Greville showed up. Paul Stevens (Paul Greenwood) became manager of the motel, but the staff rebelled because he was too strict. Sandra Gould (Diane Keen) became a waitress at the motel.
Garda and Richard Trethowan (they were witches!) were very mysterious. I think they were staying with Miss Tatum. They kidnapped someone for a ritual (can’t remember who) but Paul came to the rescue. Kevin McArthur (Vincent Ball) was staying at the motel and got involved with the secretary (?), Miss Thomas (Patricia Maynard). But he owed money to some rather nasty people who were on his trail.
Jill, who ran a boutique at the time, met and married John Crane unaware that he was a bigamist. For some reason, I can still see the scene in my head when he first came into the boutique. She chatted to him for a few minutes, then went to get something. And he just looked around the shop. And then the credits rolled. Anyway, when she found out about him, he went on the run and she tried to commit suicide.
Vince Parker was going out with a new girl called Veronica (?). She was a glamorous blonde and everyone was talking about her. Then she was murdered. It was a great murder mystery – all the male characters were under suspicion, particularly Vince. It later transpired that Louise Borelli’s brother, Kenneth was the killer. I think he jumped out a window and killed himself.
1970 was also the year that Stan Harvey met Jill. He was an electrician and came to do some wiring at the boutique. Those are some of my memories of the show in 1970. I was hoping some of those episodes would be on the DVD.
1971; Stan marries Jill. Jill’s boutique goes bust. Diane Lawton marries postman, Vince Parker, who agrees to raise Nicky as his own. Sandy goes to work on Mrs Ashe’s farm. Mrs A, if I remember rightly, was like Mavis Hooper without the charisma. She has a daughter called Linda. Stan Stennett (later Sid Hooper) played a gunman who holds Tish and Mr Booth hostage. David Hunter arrives with unstable wife, Rosemary and son, Chris. As far as I can remember he was at loggerheads with Meg when he first arrived.
Meg buys a share in a racehorse. I can’t remember what it was called but one episode with Meg coming back from the races saying it had come fourth in a four-horse race. Graham Rigby played a dodgy character called Charlie Forward in this story. David clashed with Mrs Ashe. I think he knocked down and killed her dog and she vowed revenge. One episode ended with her inviting young Chris into her house and the suggestion was that she was going to do him harm. But she didn’t. Len Harvey, Stan’s brother was reported to have been killed. But he later turned up at the Harveys. He was a bad egg, as they say, and I think he was on the run. He was played by Michael Craze, who played Ben in Doctor Who for a few years. And that was 1971.
1972; Glamorous secretary, Anne Taylor was working for David Hunter. I think they had an affair. She’s in the 1974 episode on the DVD, by which time she had married Bob Powell.
David and Rosemary were divorced that year. Sheila Harvey and Bernice Burrowes, who both worked in Vera’s salon, went on strike because of the new outfits they were forced to wear. Sandy was paralysed in a car accident – two episodes dealing with that storyline are on the DVD. What’s not on the DVD is Sheila Harvey’s attack on Liz Clarke in the motel reception for deserting Sandy in his hour of need. Vince Parker’s father, Harry returned, but Vince wasn’t happy to see him. Diane tried to act as a mediator.
Sandy spent most of the second half of 1972 in a rehabilitation centre. He was very bitter at not being able to walk. A fellow wheelchair-bound patient, Joe Shaw helped Sandy come to terms with his condition. Joe was played by David Garfield, who later wrote for the series. Cliff Leyton (Johnny Briggs) was an ex-con, who came to work at the motel and was trying to start a new life. However, as far as I can remember, some of his old friends had other ideas. Doug Randall (Richard Thorp) began seeing Vera Downend. He was a navy man. I’m sure a lot more happened that year, but that’s all I can remember.
My memories of Crossroads in 1973 are very hazy. So, I do apologise in advance. As far as I can remember the year started with Vince Parker being lured to a chalet by Irene Summers (Melissa Stribling) who promptly ripped her own dress and screamed. It was a great ending to a Friday evening episode. Anyway, Vince was accused of attempted rape. I think the woman bore a grudge against Vince’s father, George or something. I’m racking my brains trying to remember whether that was 1973 or 1974, but I think it was 1973.
Sheila Harvey gave birth. There is mention of her pregnancy on the Vol. 1 DVD as Stan and Jill discuss adopting her baby. She eventually married Roy Mollison, who, I think, was the baby’s father.
Rosemary Hunter’s cancer scare was also mentioned in that 1973 episode on the DVD, but I don’t remember how that storyline concluded.
Also on the DVD was a character called Sid Gilbert – he was a very shady character. Diane Parker’s son, Nicky was abducted by his father, Frank Adam (Jon Kelley, who wore a string vest in UFO) and brought to America.
David Hunter’s secretary, Kathy Lamb was involved with a newcomer to the area, Vernon Crawford. As far as I can remember, he was like an absent-minded professor type of character. It was during that storyline that I heard my first Crossroads blooper – David entered the reception area and called the character, Mr Vernon instead of Mr Crawford.
There were two French characters (with ze false accent) in the series around this time – Henri and Isobel Zola. I remember Raymond Adamson (very French name) played Henri – I had seen him in other things.
Vera Downend’s nephew (?), Martin Bell came to stay with her on the canal boat. I think he worked as a barman at the motel eventually. Local postman, Don Rogers was about to marry Pat MacKenzie. That storyline ran in late August. I think they eventually got married.
And that’s all I can remember about 1973. There’s a lot missing, but I hope it fills in some gaps.
– Jimmy Keary
I have a strange early memory of Crossroads, from about 1967 or 68. Stan gets a robot attendant in the garage (or someone dressing as a robot?) This ran a couple of nights, ending with a foam fight.
I also remember Larry Grayson’s stay at the motel, and Meg nearly bursting out laughing at his camp complaining. For weeks afterwards, she would be seen answering the phone, saying “I’m sorry, Mr Grayson, I’m afraid we’re fully booked,” then breathing a sigh of relief, having put him off.
His next appearance was, of course, as a chauffeur at the wedding.
(They both appeared together on Blankety-Blank, making each other laugh!) I can also remember a strange musical dream sequence from 1966? featuring (I think) Amy Turtle dancing through a forest.
– Mark Angel
There was Nick Van Doren and his wife, Tessa. They were Dutch I believe and I’m not 100% sure but I think Nick was a manager at one time. I remember when Sue Nicholls left the series they actually had a short preview before that night’s episode to introduce Nadine Hanwell who would be playing the part from then on. I think they just showed her walking around a room while the narration was going on. A very old and sketchy memory was of a French woman and her accomplice trying to flee from justice – haven’t got a clue what the storyline was. I just remember her shouting “Come On” in a peculiar French accent. Why I remember that lord knows!
There was also a dodgy lad turned up that was causing a lot of trouble, I believe he was a relation of Miss Tatum. He caused some problems between Vince and Diane (Dunno How) and in one scene, after Vince finds out, he is with Miss Tatum in the Post Office, and the boy is hovering in the background. Miss Tatum places a slipper on the Post Office counter and deliberately turns away. Vince picks up the slipper and says “So it was you who split up me and Diane”, marches the boy out the back and you hear whacking noises. When Vince returns he places the slipper back on the counter and Miss Tatum says something along the lines of “How did that get there” and puts it back on her foot.
Talking of Vince, I remember the accident caused by Meg in which Vince is knocked off his motorbike and blinded for a while. I remember watching Vince in the courtroom as Meg is sentenced to 6 months I believe. And of course, who could ever forget Vi Blundell????? Most other memories of mine have already been mentioned by other people so have just jotted down the different ones that I can remember.
– James
My memory is not great but I’ll have a go at posting some of my very earliest memories for what they’re worth. I’m sure others can do better than me!
I remember when Benny first came into the programme (1975) working on the farm for the Gaffer (Ed Lawton, Diane’s uncle). Around about the same time Diane taught Benny to read from which time onwards she became his beloved “Miss Diane”. I also remember Benny telling various people: “You learns a lot when you can read”!
Muriel Baines, the wife of Jim Baines who worked in the garage developed agoraphobia and was terrified of leaving the house. Naturally, Jim was not the most sympathetic of men. This must be the mid-70s as well I would think. I remember one episode where she plucks up the courage to go out and gets as far as the top of the road then goes into a phone box and rings Jim because she is totally panic-stricken. Not a very thrilling storyline but it stuck in my mind!
I’ve mentioned this one before. When Diane used to share the flat with Jane Smith (the Salvation Army girl who worked on reception at Crossroads) Diane mysteriously found her clothes hanging in her wardrobe all shredded up. Can’t remember how long it went on before the mystery was resolved – in a rather creepy ending to one episode Jane was seen sleep-walking with a pair of scissors in her hand, entering Di’s room and slashing her clothes! Again, not very thrilling I know but it’s funny what you remember from when you’re very young..
I remember Jill’s various affairs, it seemed anyone coming to the house to do any work was bound to have a one-night stand with her at the very least! I seem to remember she slept with a TV repairman on one occasion. More memorably she had the affair with Anthony Mortimer her step-brother from which she became pregnant. I don’t remember this well but my brother remembers that Stan (Jill’s then-husband) went round to Anthony’s chalet to confront him.
Perhaps the most memorable storyline was when David’s deranged ex-wife Rosemary came to the motel when she heard the news of his impending marriage to Barbara, I think it was in Meg’s office that she confronted him and pointed a gun at him. Her hand trembling (as well as her top lip!) she demanded: “Tell em you love me!” The ever suave and collected David replied calmly “I won’t because it’s not true” then Rosemary fired. Fortunately, David survived, suit slightly bloodied but stiff upper lip intact.
Then there was Hugh Mortimer being kidnapped by international terrorists and dying of a heart attack, I was only 12 when that happened but even at that age (12) I thought the storyline ludicrous! Benny falling in love with Maureen who then decided to dump him for her childhood sweetheart Pat Grogan. Then on the day of the wedding, Maureen cycled over to tell Benny that the wedding was off but was tragically knocked off her bicycle and killed by a motorist. (cue Benny’s theme!)
This one is a bit mixed up in my head (must talk to my brother who will no doubt have total recall!) Circa 1978 (?) wild child Iris Scott (Glenda Brownlow’s cousin) had been given a job cleaning at the home of resident American psychiatrist (and close personal friend of Meg’s for reasons that never really became apparent) and she came across some tapes which she put on thinking they might be some new popular music combo. They turned out to be taped sessions of Lloyd and Rosemary Hunter in which Rosemary revealed that Chris Hunter was not David’s son (unbeknownst to David). I think she then pinched the tapes and started blackmailing Rosemary or Lloyd.
I also remember when Ultra-camp Mr Booth rather unexpectedly got married to a young, glamorous motel employee (a receptionist I think) called Helen. I can’t remember if we got to see the wedding but we did get to see them go off on honeymoon at another hotel. I remember the excruciatingly embarrassing ending of the episode when they get into their honeymoon room and sit on the edge of the bed and Bernard slips off onto the floor declaring “Looks like I’ve fallen for you all over again!”
Another storyline which I remember well from circa 1979 – Arthur Brownlow’s terminal illness. Arthur had been told by Doctor Butterworth or whoever it was that he had some terminal illness. Naturally, Arthur took the news with a stiff upper lip and the country reconciled itself to losing this, er, well-loved character. Subsequently, it turned out that the medical records had been mixed up and Arthur was not dying – well not for another 4 years or so anyway!
Final memory.. Sandy’s relationship with his physiotherapist Lynn Baxter. I believe they were engaged although her parents didn’t approve of the relationship – “How will they be able to.. you know?” as Mrs Baxter put it. I think they eventually split up..
– Daniel Landsberger
This is so wonderful to discover a place where I can dump my vital Motel Memories from the 70’s and early 80’s, such as: .. leading up to Meg’s departure – getting a taxi home every night from work to make the 5.20 start time in Scottish TV ..gasping as Maureen met her fate on her way to tell Benny it just wasn’t going to be ..that story with the vintage car that had all the money hidden in it and I can’t remember the name of the car but it was David Hunter’s uncle who owned it ..anyone remembers? ..
Amy Turtle’s son who always sent a rose to her on her birthday and then in the year of Meg and Hugh’s wedding it didn’t arrive and she went loopy- shoplifting in a headscarf.. bless! .. the terrorists – that French bird off school television and Chris Hunter when they kidnapped Hugh etc.. And as for Volume 2 well.. I can hardly breathe! Meg and Hugh having a major row in the episode directly before their wedding. Amy walks in and Meg shouts at her – so she gets offended and storms out. (Why in the wedding party episode Meg is glad Amy came to the blessing.)
– George
Some of the things I remember: David Hunter getting shot by his ex-wife Rosemary, and her foil blouse! Doris Luke dancing in a Christmas episode! Shaking her ‘ass’ for all to see. Jill and Adams first wedding in 1983, less service more action in this wedding than Meg and Hugh’s. Speaking of which – who could forget Larry Grayson driving the Rolls Royce car.
Also how Kath Brownlow reacted when Arthur died. She had an argument with him just before he went out and of course, they never made up – as he was killed on the way home from the motel. She regretted it and was upset for a good while after. Her son and daughter couldn’t even make her come round.I also just liked to see Jill’s house, Chimneys – very cosy, where her affair with Anthony all started!
I remember the early 1980s when Adam was romancing Kate on his boat. She sang the song a few times ‘More than In Love’ which Chris Hunter produced in his new business venture – a recording studio. It was supposed to be in the motel basement (Chris had previously wanted to turn that area into a nightclub. David Hunter pooh-poohed the idea.)
– Lee Harrison
Mid-1970s Diane Parker is walking near some railings and its somewhere near water – could have been the Kings Oak canal [Fan club note: it is actually Oxford] – I cannot remember whom, but she is approached. Diane was about to commit suicide, but the person who finds her stops her from going through with it.
Also, I recall Diane having an argument in the reception area with Jim and Muriel Baines, during the course of this Di gives as good as she gets, until Jim gets the upper hand and Diane runs off towards the kitchen, where she stands behind the door in floods of tears.. roll credits!
I recall so clearly that I wanted to watch the next episode to see what happened. My mum said to me, “Diane probably won’t be in the episode tonight!” My mum was right, we didn’t find out any more from Diane until a week later!
I recall Amy Turtle making an omelette, I always seem to remember this because through the motel kitchen windows you could see the orange outside lights attached to the chalet walls. I think that this was brilliant detail really, I believe Crossroads was always ahead of its time and such detail is reflected in the thinking of those involved behind the scenes.
I think it must have been a major insult to the set designers to be constantly told that their sets were rubbish and wobbled, and I can say that all the years I watched it, I never saw any of the main sets move! (1974+). It must hurt really when everyone worked so hard to produce the show and then the product is never given any credit at all, just always being insulted. Now then back to the memories (rant over!)..
A blurred one I recall is of someone having a row on a doorstep, the next episode started from where that one had ended, my sister said: “she’s been standing on that doorstep all night!”
The scene was dark, it was night time (rare for Crossroads to be outside at night) but it was a winter episode, and Crossroads always kept with the time of year really well (other soaps you never knew if it was spring or winter, the only time you knew what month The Street was in was Christmas!)
This final memory I would really like to see again, so if anyone can pin-point the episode date! Jill Harvey comes home to the motel to stay with Meg after a long day in court. This was around the time she was going through her divorce from Stan, and the story-line was the custody battle over Sarah-Jane. Anyway, I remember the scene was a real cosy one. Meg makes all of Jill’s worries better by going off to make a nice cup of tea. This leaves Jill all alone in the sitting room, the fire was burning and the lights from Meg’s Christmas trees were glowing brightly. When we get a closer look at Jill the tears are rolling down her face, she breakdown.. in comes the dramatic closing theme!
– Scott Curtis
Some very sketchy memories of old.. Sheila Harvey lounging about eating raw tomatoes – she did that a lot. Diane’s hunky actor husband Frank Adam – he was previously in UFO (as was Sheila Harvey).
Wilf Harvey sitting at the kitchen table – he did that a lot. Tish and Meg exchanging “dah-lings” – they did that a lot. Vera Downend’s new hairdo – a major topic of discussion at the time (old do won). Adam Chance in eye-popping tight trousers, clearly outlining the reason why they were too tight.
Jane Smith in her Salvation Army outfit, complete with a tambourine. A non-speaking waitress called Evadne, who mouthed unheard lines so as not to be paid the “talking” rate. Brian Jarvis’s impossible-to-remove five o’clock shadow.
Louise Borrelli, Meg’s evil Fairlawns nemesis. Faye Frigid Mansfield. Comatose Sandy’s moving finger. Jill’s frequent long-term absences where we pined for her return. Tina Webb, Bernard Booth’s young niece. Eventually ended up with Simon Whittaker who dumped older lover Carol Hewson for her.
Occasional appearances of Sergeant Tidmarsh and Colin the milkman. Tish’s delinquent daughter, Lynn, played by Patsy Blower, the voice of Larry the Lamb.
Vera being attacked outside the motel, by someone who thought she was as easy as she looked. Some guy threatening suicide by jumping from a window ledge outside the motel, all of ten feet from the ground. Some woman ripping off her blouse and screaming “help, help, aargh, aargh” as a horrified Vince Parker realises he is being set up to look like a rapist.
– Colin J Wilson
My earliest memories of Crossroads date from April 1970 when I was about 11. There was a storyline featuring the Allisons – Barry and his father – who had an antique shop. They were held hostage by a man and woman who were awaiting the arrival of a package. I remember an end-of-episode sequence where Vince Parker called to the shop and said that there was a parcel for them at the Post Office. He referred to it jokingly as a ‘bomb’. After he left, the woman came downstairs and said: “alright, Barry, let’s go and collect that bomb”. Cue music and end credits. Anyone else remember that storyline or sequence? I was hooked and watched the series from then on.
Does anyone remember the Crossroads whodunit in 1970? I don’t remember all the details but I think the victim’s name was Veronica. The storyline ran for a number of weeks with a number of regular characters – including Vince Parker, I think – being suspected of the crime. The culprit was eventually discovered to be an American called Kenneth Borelli whose sister Louise was connected with the Motel somehow. [She owned Fairlawns Hotel and later had shares in the motel – Fan club note]
Another storyline from 1970 – my favourite year in Crossroads – had something to do with the occult. I’m not sure if they were witches or devil worshippers but these two mysterious characters were brother and sister, Guarda and Richard Trethowan. I think the storyline concluded with, I think, the then Motel manager, Paul Stevens discovering what the Trethowans were up to and put an end to it. Don’t remember how. Incidentally, Paul Steven was played by Paul Greenwood, who later appeared in the BBC series, Rosie. I know such a storyline probably sounds ridiculous and far-fetched, but it kept me watching. They were the great days of Crossroads for me.
– Jimmy Early
I can remember watching Meg’s wedding in 1975, which I think was one of the last appearances of Amy Turtle.
Also, remember Benny’s fiancé Maureen being knocked over, can even remember the 70s disco music, preceding the accident! I also remember Meg in her bedroom, when she notices a pair of men’s shoes pepping out of her curtains, with a man in them – he turned out to be a silver-haired charmer, hung around the Motel for a short time, name escapes me [Phillip Warner-Blyth FC note], but it stuck in my mind, as it was a great cliff-hanger. This was before Meg married Hugh, so I was very young! Jim Baines winning the pools, lording it over Diane, who took so much before blowing her top, in the middle of the reception.
Jane Smith, Diane’s flatmate at the time, Diane caught Jane Smith sleepwalking and Jane had a pair of scissors in her hand and was ripping Di’s clothes! I found it quite spooky at the time. Also remember Jill going through her Valium addiction, the affair with her step-brother and a one night stand with a TV repairman, Jill we miss you! I also remember Josie Welch, a no good, “good-time girl”, who took great pleasure in teasing “Benny boy”, if I’m right in thinking. Later her sister Linda came into it and was murdered and poor Benny, was blamed for it for a while, which leads to a “Benny Is Innocent” campaign.

Meg singing at Christmas 1979, corny maybe, but just brilliant! I loved Crossroads and Nolly and miss them both terribly still! Meg’s addressing the camera like that made you really feel as if she were singing to you, like you were there with them, not just looking on.
I long for the old days of happy Christmas stories and I’d give anything to spend my Christmas Day in Meg’s Sitting Room at the Motel rather than putting up with all the misery of Queen Vic!!
– Dezzah
My main memories are from the 1980s when a character called Cecil Beecher-Blount, played by Arthur Howard – brother of the film star Leslie Howard – arrived in Kings Oak. He didn’t have a fling with Mavis, but she made out they were to make Sid jealous.
Sid got jealous but Cecil was a conman. Even on her deathbed, he thought she was talking about Cecil until she put him straight and said she was talking about him.
– Kenneth McGuinness
I used to watch Crossroads with my Mum. I was born in 1962 so that’s where I fit into the timeline! I remember a bomb going off – not sure when it was, but it’s probably my earliest memory – That and the Italian Chef and his wife.
Also, remember Meg being slowly poisoned by a dodgy husband – I think we all knew it but she didn’t – it was quite creepy! Clearly recall Vince and Diane getting together… I remember Diane’s flat had a sloping wall with a zig-zag design or wallpaper on it – very groovy stuff. I used to like them as a couple and was horrified when they broke up.
Another memory is that as we lived in London it was always a treat when a friend or relative took a holiday in another ITV region as we were 6 months behind. It was good to get all the gossip on what was coming up.
I also remember that when the Thames TV station finally caught up with the rest of the country there was a scene where Meg and Vera Downend were in Meg’s sitting room when Vera started to talk to the camera explaining to the viewer what had happened over the ‘missing’ months – Meg said to her ‘Hey, you can’t talk to *them*” – Very surreal moment!
– Tony
I don’t have complete memories, just little flashes. I was born in 1970 so remember stuff from the mid 70’s up. I recall Jill’s affair with her step-brother. I recall liking Sandy a great deal. I recall Benny’s fiancé. I was fascinated by the show and would soak up gossip on it in the papers. I remember the speculation about Meg’s exit with one paper having photo’s of the mock funeral.
I also remember one episode where the announcer kindly informed us that one character was being played by a different actress due to the usual one being ill! I believe it was something to do with Iris Scott – her mother perhaps? I remember it being a posh lady anyway!
Dan Landsberger adds: The character you’re referring to was Sally banks, the wife of Oliver banks and the mother of Kevin (Glenda’s husband). Not only did she change actress, but she also changed character becoming much more sympathetic when Oliver started up an affair with Sharon Metcalfe.
– David
Reg and Alison Cotterill: Reg Cotterill was a very god-fearing person [he was a bible bashing Christian] and Alison was his daughter and he had forbidden her to see men or anything. She had a scar and he said it had been given to her as a punishment or something, And I remember she grew her hair very long because she was obviously very self-conscious of it.
And in one episode someone said “You should push your hair up a bit” and they pushed it up and saw the scar and that how this particular episode ended because she was horrified and the other person was horrified. And Benny offered all his money to her to get an operation and I can’t remember if she had it in the end. And she had an affair with Chris Hunter and she said to Reg: “I love him more than any other man” and you saw Reg looking very hurt by that. Chris got her pregnant, and she left to become a nun.
Benny and Maureen: They were going to get married and then she met up with her boyhood sweetheart Pat Grogan and decided to marry him instead.. He caught them smooching one day and Seamus Flynn (Maureen’s dad) he was deliberately winding Benny up he said “Oh they used to really fancy each other and it would be nice if they got married one day” and Benny looked very upset. And on the day of the wedding she was kissing Pat Grogan and he said:” Go and tell Benny that the wedding’s off” and of course that’s when she died on her bicycle on her way to tell him and Benny never found out.
The Shooting of David Hunter: I just remember that he was shot by his wife Rosemary who was a bit deranged. She cornered him in his office and pointed the gun at him and said: “Tell me you love me” and he remained very calm and replied, “I won’t because it’s not true!”
Benny is Innocent: Benny was framed for the murder of Linda Welch who worked in the garage. He found her on the floor and Colin Dutton [the garage boss who had been having an affair with her and was the real murderer] walked in and going Benny standing over the body and said: “Benny what have you done?” He didn’t actually mean to kill her they had a fight and of course, that was another mistake because we spotted blood on her teeth before he actually hit her! Max Lorimer: Another good character I remember from the time was Max Lorimer who was a complete sleaze bag and used to sleep with anyone he could.. Vera Downend and Sharon Metcalfe, I think.
The Life and Loves of Diane Hunter: [Chris Hunter had been left money on condition that he got married and he proposed to Diane as a marriage of convenience] I don’t think we heard him propose on screen but we suddenly saw the door open and she ran out and she was looking horrified and I don’t know if we knew what it was about. And he came running after her and she said: “You just asked me to marry you!” And then years later she was being counselled by Chris she was about to marry someone else.
She was about to marry her lawyer because he was going to help her get her son back and Chris, as is often the way with soaps completely changed character, he’d become all-wise, and she said to him: “I don’t love him but he’s going to help me get my son back” and Chris said: “Have you ever married anyone for love?” because this was the second time she’d done the same thing! Then earlier there was the policeman Steve Cater. What happened there was that she came into her flat (I think it was her flat) and this bloke suddenly came up behind her and grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth and she was terrified – he thought she was a criminal but he’d got the wrong person. He realized after a few minutes that he had the wrong person and, of course, it was love at first sight!
Jill and Anthony Mortimer: That was classic! It started when Stan was away on one of his many trips and I think Anthony was coming round just to keep her company and they kissed and then they slept together. And the next day it started with her alone crying hysterically about it. And then they tried to put it behind them and eventually, of course, she was pregnant and Stan who didn’t know she was pregnant bumped into Dr Butterworth, they were organizing a house-warming party and they’d invited Doctor Butterworth and he got hold of the wrong end of the stick and he assumed it was a party to celebrate her being pregnant!
So he bumped into Stan in the village and he said: “Have you thought of a name for it?” and Stan looked at him blankly, and Dr Butterworth said “Well, for the baby!” and I think that was how the episode ended. And this was on the day of the party so Stan went back to Chimneys where Jill was getting ready and he said “I bumped into Dr Butterworth in the village” and Jill said, “That must have been a nice surprise!” And he looked at her and said: “Yes, Dr Butterworth is full of nice surprises!” and he looked horrified, I’m not sure if she knew what he meant!
Jill refused to talk about the baby and he was going on and on about it and then eventually (another very corny line!) Stan said to her: “Anyone would think it wasn`t my baby!” and she suddenly burst into tears and Stan’s lip started quivering and that’s when the penny dropped! And then he was badgering her for the next few weeks about who the father was and he kept being sarcastic pointing to everyone like the milkman and saying “Was it him?”! And eventually, he wore her down and she blurted out “Anthony! Anthony Mortimer!” and he looked horrified.
And then the next scene was because he had been confiding in Anthony, telling her that she was pregnant but wouldn’t tell him whose it was and Anthony was a bit.. didn’t know what to say because he knew it was his. And then the next episode ended with Stan, he knocked on Anthony’s door and Anthony looked up and said: “Oh hello Stan, come in!” and Stan went in and slammed the door behind him and that was how the episode ended. And the next episode began it showed Meg at the reception area and Stan came out with his shirt all ripped and bruised all over his face and Meg went in to see what had happened to Anthony and he was covered in blood and that was how they all found out. After that Stan and Jill tried to make another go of it but it didn’t work and then Stan went off to Germany with Sarah Jane.
Iris and The Brownlows. I remember when Iris first came into the programme, she was Kath’s niece and she came to stay with the Brownlows and she was a bit of a trouble maker. Ron was very against her like they all were because she just didn’t make any effort and Kath said: “Leave her alone she’s just shy!” And Ron was saying: “No she’s not, she just can’t be bothered!” and as I say she was a bit of a trouble-maker and she fancied Kevin (like all the women did for some reason!) and she made a pass at him one night when it was thundering and lightening and they were alone together and she pretended to be scared and she was holding on to him and she made a pass at him and the went to bed together. And eventually, she deliberately let slip to Glenda and they nearly split up over it. Then later Iris started with Ron and she had a phantom pregnancy!
Another time Iris stitched Arthur up for indecent assault and it went to court and she eventually gave herself away. It originally began with Iris inviting Arthur into one of the chalets at the motel, because he had been perpetually slagging her off, and she managed to lock the door behind them and she slipped the key into his pocket.. she got him in there under the pretext that she was organizing a birthday surprise for Kath. Once Arthur was in there she pretended Arthur had touched her and she called the police and they arrested him when they found the key on him and as I say it went to court and she only gave herself away at the last minute. Kath went to visit Iris in prison.. she went to court during the trial and Arthur obviously just didn’t want to know and when she came back she told Arthur that she’d been sent to prison and Arthur was horrified because not even he expected her to go to prison.
And then Arthur actually went it visit her in prison, she went out expecting it to be Kath and when she saw him she didn’t want to talk to him but eventually she did. I think he just wanted to make the peace for Kath’s sake. And of course, eventually, she became like Mother Teresa! I think this happened sometime in the late 70s. A guest checked out of the Motel, and when they presented him with his phone bill, it showed he had been calling a foreign country. I can’t remember if he was foreign, and it was his home country, but he denied making the call/calls and refused to pay the bill. It caused a bit of a rumpus with the management, and it was eventually concluded when another member of staff recalled that the cleaning lady was from that country, or had a relative in that country. When they confronted her, she confessed.
This happened in 1981. There were two yobs. Presumably, they were out to rob Peachey, or whatever the place was. I vividly remember them manhandling Doris (rather them than me), and she screamed out something like: “There’s a farmhand here who’s bigger than both of you put together. He’ll be back in a minute”. This is where my memory gets jumbled up. I remember the yobs were in their getaway car, and they ran Benny down as they left, temporarily blinding him, but this might have been on a future occasion, as the men may have come back. I also remember a few days/weeks later, when Doris was home alone, there was a knock at the door. It was one of the men. She screamed and tried to keep him out but he persuaded her to let him in. His name was Len Morton. He was the good guy of the two baddies, and he wanted to apologise. Benny meanwhile was lying in bed with bandages covering his eyes. I don’t know if he was on the farm though or where he was. Doris agreed to let Len help out as penance.
He started calling on Benny to see how he was (Benny didn’t know he was one of the yobs at this stage and Doris didn’t tell him). I remember him finding out but I can’t remember how. The next occasion Len visited after this, Benny pretended to be all nice to him. He asked Len to tuck him in, and as Len bent over the bed, Benny grabbed him and twisted his arm really hard. Len was screaming, and Benny shouted something along the lines of “It’s your fault this happened to me”. I can’t remember what happened after this. Maybe Doris turned up and broke them up. That’s all I recall. I don’t know how the storyline ended, but I think Benny forgave Len. The storyline ran for quite a while I believe.
Bernard Booth had a rather expensive pen nicked and he accused various members of staff. Then eventually his wife Helen admitted that she had taken it herself.
– Paul Landsberger
I loved Tish’s house burning down. The scene in the little bit at the end of flames lapping round a photograph of Tish and Ted was SO dramatic; Then there was anything to do with Vera and her narrowboat. I loved Vera!
In the 1980s, I thoroughly enjoyed the David getting shot by Rosemary story (poor David! But it did seem exciting!) and the lovely story with the little Downs Syndrome girl and Sharon in 1983.
I liked the later yuppie era stories, too. My favourite was Amy Turtle turning up as a friend of Bomber’s and her effect on Jill! I always remember the girl with a secret (Alison Cotterill) and her grim Uncle Reg. Then, the secret was revealed, the scar/birthmark on her cheek. Then she had plastic surgery and got tangled up with Chris Hunter.
Then there was that strange episode at Christmas 1980. I never quite understood it, but there is what I believe to be an old wives’ tale which states that if a woman hurts a particular part of her body during pregnancy, a birthmark will result in that area on her child.
Well, at Christmas 80, we saw Reg slap Alison’s mother’s face and her clutching the cheek where her daughter’s disfigurement appeared in a flashback sequence. Did this mean that Reg had caused Alison’s disfigurement, by striking her mother? I was confused. Even more so, because the actress playing Alison was also playing her mother. The Cotterill’s were my worst ever Crossroads storyline, no contest.
– “Mr Paul”
I can recall rushing home from school to watch Crossroads. If my memory serves me correctly then I’d be right in saying that the programme was shown at odd times in the afternoon. I vividly recollect the Jarvis family but most of all I was enchanted by Marylin Gates’ broad Brummie accent. Her tittle-tattle in the kitchen made avid viewing. Marylin, played by Sue Nicholls (now Audrey in Corrie), was a sort of pin-up of mine. I even spent a fortune of 4s 3d for her record when she left the programme to pursue a music career.
The programme’s first chef was, Carlos Raphael. He was married to some lady called ‘Ozopheena. Well, that’s what Carlos called her even though TV Times had her cast listed as Josephina. My infatuation with the Crossroads’ chefs continued through the years with the sturdy succession of Mr (Gerald) Lovejoy, Shughie McFee and Mr (Bernard) Booth. The latter of which married a rather tasty lady who was some years his junior.
Then there were the Motel gossips. Namely, Tish Hope, Amy (Ooh, I’ve forgot me lines) Turtle and latterly a Mrs Witton. The list is endless. The programme, between 1964 and 1979 was absolutely brilliant. The characters were believable, the reception didn’t resemble a “tart’s boudoir” and the bedrooms were for sleeping in.
– Artie Fischal
I remember during the Nicola Freeman/Austin Maestro era everyone always seemed to be having lunch or breakfast on windswept terraces pretending it was summer!
And when Jill and Adam came running into reception after having a jog in matching tracksuits! What did ever happen to that leisure centre? After all didn’t Jill finance it with a million pounds? Where did she get the money from? Was it from the Arab businessman she was going to run off with?
– Chris Lang
My earliest memory of Crossroads is Diane in a park with her son? Who disappears (cue end credits) then the final scene is her seeing a car drawing away and her screaming his name. Hope I got that right. The 36-year-old mind plays tricks.
Also, I came across an ATV site which had an article from the early seventies about the show being a big foreign seller. This raises the question if this is true has anybody thought of contacting these countries to ask them if they have anything knocking around in their archives (I quote the success of recovered Dr Who episodes as an example). [ITV Archive/YTV/Granada International have all apparently done some searching for Crossroads abroad, so far it seems to have been fruitless.]

1) Early 1970s: Jill and Stan have not long met, and are arguing. Stan looks as though he is about to hit Jill. Jill says, ‘That’s right – show me the REAL Stan Harvey!’ Suddenly, they are kissing passionately. End of episode.
2) Early 1970s: Nicky, Diane’s son, is missing. Di is frantic. She searches for some waste ground. The programme ends with a view of a dumped fridge. Has Nicky wondered inside and suffocated? Later, we discover that he has been kidnapped by Frank Adam, his film star father.
3) Mid 1970s: Meg takes command when there is a bomb scare at the motel. The staff and guests are evacuated. One female guest is frantic – she can’t find her little dog. The episode ends, and in the little scene after the closing credits, we see the dog, its leash wrapped around the grandfather clock outside Meg’s sitting room, as the minutes tick away… Later, we discover that the bomb scare was a hoax.
4) Mid 1970s. Stephanie De Sykes chats to Sandy in the office. Suddenly, she bursts into ‘Born With A Smile On My Face’ – with full musical backing. Where were the band, we wondered – in the filing cabinet?!
5) c. 1977. Vera and Diane chat on the boat when suddenly it springs a leak and water gushes out of a hole in the floor. End of episode!
6) c.late 1970s. An elderly, slightly odd-ball King’s Oak lady believes she is to die on a certain day at a certain time. She gives all her worldly goods away and throws a party. But she doesn’t die!
7) 1980: Kate Robbins, who played singer Kate Loring, told Des O’Connor about an amusing incident. In one scene, Kate was talking to Adam Chance in reception. The script called for Kath to be hovering in the background. The noise was awful, and Kate and Tony were forced to shout their intimate conversation at each other, until one of the crew dashed up to the director: ‘Sorry, Mike, the script SHOULD read ‘Kath Brownlow hovers in the background, NOT hoovers!’
8) 1980: Meg throws a party in reception, whilst David is confronted by his deranged ex-wife, Rosemary, in the office. With mascara everywhere, she tearfully pulls out a gun and demands: ‘David.. say you love me.. say it..’ He refuses, and she shoots him.

I feel I grew up with Crossroads and remember some of the highlights, when Carlos was killed in the kitchen fire for example, or when Stan caused the fire in a chalet which destroyed a priceless painting of Hugh Mortimer’s, putting Stan out of the electricians business paying the insurance.
In 1981, I received a call from Central TV. I was running an office furniture company at the time and they were looking to refurbish part of the motel. I sold them a desk, chair and a cocktail cabinet, which went on to become David Hunter’s furniture. I recall our drivers returning from “Kings Oak” bragging that they had been in Miss Diane’s flat.
I also recall when the exteriors used was that of the Penns Hall Hotel in Sutton Coldfield, which some years later caused a flurry of excitement, when the company I was working for at that time (Tandy) held a big convention there for its customers. Yes, it was badly acted at times and the sets were maybe (?) wobbly, but wasn’t that part of the fun, alongside the fact that whenever someone mentioned making some coffee, it was a code meaning I’ve forgotten my lines help me out.. I only watched a couple of episodes of its recreation and was amazed when they killed off Jill.
I’m afraid the modern themes, just didn’t work. A few “daft” stereotypes like Amy or Vera to push things along were definitely needed. Never mind.

I loved that time in the mid-70’s when Meg was told to expect the arrival of “Harriet” at the motel. When Harriet Blair turned up as a guest and turned out to be a pop-star in hiding (known as Holly Brown), the mystery deepened.
Then Sandy sussed her out and prompted her into bursting into song with ‘Born with A Smile On My Face’ with full musical-backing (??!) in her humble chalet. At the same time – Meg found out that the “Harriet” that SHE was expecting was in fact a vintage car, which she drove around in for the next few episodes to the tune of Stephanie De Sykes and ‘Born With..’
Can’t remember who sent the car – I think Timmothy Hunter won it in a dodgy gambling game, it was supposed to have money in the boot or such, so long ago I can’t recall the finer detail… Anyway, it gave them another song in the pop-charts!
– Steve Graham
I hardly ever knew Meg as Meg Richardson, more as Meg Mortimer, seeing how I was only 5 when she and Hugh Mortimer married. I remember the wedding reception still from the first time it was aired, I really think that episode is quite unique!
My favourite character is Jill Chance, and Jane Rossington is probably my favourite of all actors. I think that Jill was probably my favourite character because she was one of the offspring of Meg. She could be independent but always had a disaster about to happen. Young and vulnerable: she inspired me, Jill was a born survivor, and seeing how Jane survived for 24 years, I suppose that Jane is a born survivor too!
I felt passion with Jane’s portrayal of her character, it was consistent, and well throughout my growing up years she was there, with all her problems, and my heart went out to her character. I always thought that she was held back from coming into her own. Later, towards the end of the series, and after the departure of motel manager Nicola Freeman,
Jill kind of change to fill that gap. If you look at Jill’s clothes in 1987 she is starting to power- dress! Obviously, Jill started to wear the same kind of clothes as Nicola had done.
– Scott Curtis
Many people tend to overlook the central moral message that the serial tried to convey: That message was one of tolerance and acceptance of human frailties and foibles. Fortunately for all of us, this moral thrust was delivered by way of the sublime scripts that were interpreted by a truly stellar cast. The Christmas 1979 episode is especially an embodiment of the unique Crossroads DNA.
All in all, a tremendously emotional evocation of a simpler, cynicism-free era.
– Gutsbrau
My first ever memory of Crossroads is of Sandy Richardson in his hospital bed. Scenes were transmitted in 1972 but I couldn’t tell you what year that was because of my region Granada’s policy keeping us one year behind in episodes. The only thing I can remember is that the episode went out at 1.30 p.m.
From 1975/76 (Over many episodes) :
Hugh had been getting a couple of phone calls which he wouldn’t take in front of David in the sitting room, he took them in the office. One day Hugh left his reading glasses behind when he was due to fly somewhere. Jill went after him with the glasses, but instead of boarding the plane, he walked off with a woman. Camera close up on Jill’s face showed a puzzled expression, then Closing Credits.
Jill followed Hugh around for a bit and noticed he was being followed by a Private Investigator. Eventually, she tells Meg. Hugh’s explanation was that Anita Fielding is his solicitor, doing work for him. The PI is just the result of a jealous husband. Meg believes Hugh.
Hugh tells Meg that he has to fly out on Boxing Day. If there was any other way he would change his plans. Soon after Boxing Day Hugh has his first heart attack, and Meg is notified by a phone call from Anita that Hugh is in hospital, she was with him when it happened. Meg dashes to hospital.
When Hugh is well enough to come home, Meg brings him to the Motel, not the cottage because she doesn’t know if she has a marriage. doesn’t want anybody to gossip. He walks around the sitting room a lot in his posh dressing gown.
Hugh asks Anita to visit him at the Motel. Meg is upset by Anita’s presence. Anita tells Meg that she is no threat to her marriage, never has been. Meg re-buffs Tish’s kind words when Tish offers sympathy. Meg is angry at Jill for telling Tish and David.
Tish takes Anita up to the bedroom where Hugh is waiting. Anita runs to Hugh, who is sitting in the chair. She kneels down, and he lovingly holds her hand. (This picture is in the Goodbye Meg book). The camera then goes off them to another story.
Hugh comes into the sitting room where Meg is. He tells her that the affair is over, he won’t be seeing Anita again. Meg & Hugh then kiss and make up.
(I must thank Jeannine Hochet and her Crossroads diaries for the reminder of reading glasses because I couldn’t remember what Hugh left behind)
From 1976 –
Hugh is plotting to get rid of David Hunter from the Motel. He sends inflammatory letters with Anthony’s name on them, making out they were from Anthony. Hugh did this deliberately to wind David up. I can’t remember the content of the letters, but it was something to do with turning the Cellar into a Disco at the Motel, which David didn’t want.
Anthony Mortimer wasn’t interested in becoming Motel Manager and tells his Dad this many times. Hugh wanted the Motel to revert back to a “Family” Motel. After one such conversation, Hugh clutches his chest with pains (supposed to avoid stress after a second heart attack) and makes Anthony promise not to tell Meg.
From 1977 (over a couple of months)-
Hugh Mortimer on taking a fancy to his secretary Vicky Lambert decides to move her into the Cottage with him and Meg. The first Meg finds out about it is when Vicky thanks Meg for the offer. Meg isn’t happy one bit but doesn’t tell Vicky she didn’t know.
I remember Meg coming home one night from the Motel to find Hugh already eating his dinner, which Vicky had made. Hugh told Meg to sit down and eat hers which Vicky had also made. Meg again wasn’t happy.
Meg had to go away to London to a conference. Meg asked Hugh to go with her, he refused, said he was too busy with the book he is writing. She tells Vicky that she expects her to move out in her absence, that it wouldn’t be right whilst she wasn’t there. When Meg had left, Hugh tells Vicky he won’t allow her to move out. Vicky is worried and rings Sandy (she was also Sandy’s girlfriend) that she is worried about Hugh’s plans for the night. Sandy turns up and tells Hugh he is there to look after him whilst his Mum is away and he is staying the night. The look on Hugh’s face said it all !!
Meg & Hugh had an almighty row in the Sitting Room, over a few things including Vicky. TVTimes billed it as “Meg & Hugh have a showdown”. It was the worst row I’ve seen them have. Both at one another, hammer & tongs. Seemed to last forever. Then they declared their love for one another, kissed & made up in time for the closing credits.
I remember Hugh & Vicky ballroom dancing to the radio in the Cottage. Hugh went to kiss Vicky when at the crucial moment, he clutched his chest and collapsed with pains. He told Vicky to get his medication and made her swear not to tell Meg. (This scene looks like John Bentley’s final scenes before he was axed 1 year later).
From 1978 –
I remember after Hugh had died, Meg’s arrival at the Motel back from Australia. She came in through the French Windows, the back way because she didn’t want anybody to see her. I think her plane had arrived early I think and Jill was waiting for her at the airport unawares her Mum was already at the Motel. Meg was visibly upset, dressed in trousers and a casual jacket from travelling. She looked around the sitting room and started sobbing. I think she saw her wedding photo on the table and that upset her. Closing Credits then came.
I also remember Meg going to the Cottage to escape the Motel, didn’t want anybody to talk to her. Tish & Sandy were upset she didn’t want to speak to them. She was having her breakdown. After the phone had been ringing constantly, Meg through her distress/anger/sobbing pulled the phone from its socket. A really powerful drama scene.
On Crossroads Archive Dvd 10, there is an episode where Meg is isolated at the Cottage, isn’t coping very well with Hugh’s death. Lloyd Munro is helping her out of her isolation. In the middle of the night, Meg comes downstairs, walks around the cottage, her hand strokes the back of the armchair that Hugh used to sit in. Then she suddenly stops walking, turns the light on, and says “Don’t worry I’ll be alright”, talking to Hugh’s spirit. The camera then shows Hugh’s photo and the credits go up.
When I watched this episode in 1978, I was mesmerised. I found it all incredibly sad, but a bit scary at the same time. Sounds funny, but with the sad music playing as Meg walks around the cottage in the darkness, and then talking to Hugh’s spirit, it was really moving. We still had a b/w set at the time, so seemed to me really spooky.
From 1980 –
I remember Meg not being at David & Barbara Hunters wedding. She was in the USA on holiday visiting her Grandson Matthew (Jill’s son) whom she had not seen before. On route to Anthony’s I think she was on a cruise. All off-camera of course.
On her return to the Motel, there were signs that Meg had a holiday romance. She hadn’t been back long when a guy turns up at the Motel wanting to see Meg. Meg at first doesn’t want anything to do with him, says it was only a holiday romance, but slowly she comes friendly with him and goes out to dinner with him etc. Lloyd Munro starts to get a little jealous because Meg is his “special friend” not that there is any romance between Lloyd and Meg. I remember Lloyd asking Meg out to dinner, and she says she already has plans for the evening. I remember the guy (Philip Rogers) asking Meg to marry him. I remember Meg turning him down by saying she doesn’t love him.
(Thanks again to Jeannine Hochet and her Crossroads diaries for the name of Philip Rogers)

[This story contains spoilers from the fourth episode of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans, “It’s Impossible.”]
For Diane Lane, the entire premise of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans is full of complexity and layers.
As the FX series depicts the fallout from Truman Capote’s “La Côte Basque” — a chapter from his unfinished novel, Answered Prayers, that was excerpted in Esquire‘s November 1975 issue that caused a giant rift between the acclaimed writer and his “Swans” — the actress can’t help but notice the irony that she’s playing socialite Slim Keith, one of the Swans that was outraged by Capote’s thinly veiled portrait of the elite milieu in which she was a part. “I imagine them sitting on a sofa, enjoying champagne and popcorn, and having the last laugh on all of us,” says Lane, who laughs at the meta nature of the show’s depictions of the secrets, lies and gossip shared between Keith’s wealthy cohort.
As a self-appointed Queen Bee of her group, Keith rushes to the side of Babe Paley (played by Naomi Watts), who is humiliated by Capote’s fictional portrait of her and her marriage to CBS exec William S. Paley (Treat Williams). In “It’s Impossible,” Keith goes on the warpath against their common enemy, planting stories in gossip columns to ruin Capote’s efforts to plan a sequel of sorts to his famous Black and White Ball in 1966.
But despite her intentions, Keith’s smear campaign is seen by her social circle — including Chloe Sevigny’s C.Z. Guest, Molly Ringwald’s Joanne Carson and Calista Flockhart’s Lee Radziwill — as too destructive, especially as Capote is in the throes of an alcohol dependency. Even Babe Paley, stricken with cancer, has already softened toward him and is considering offering her forgiveness.
But Keith is steadfast — and hiding a secret of her own, as it’s revealed in this week’s episode that she’s having an affair with Bill Paley while championing his wife.
Lane spoke with THR over the phone earlier this month to discuss the flaws-and-all approach to Slim Keith’s character, how she’s heard from people who knew Keith in real life (including Jane Fonda) and the emotional experience of watching her scenes with Williams, who died last June after filming wrapped.
***
I’ve read that you and your co-stars were Ryan Murphy and Jon Robin Baitz’s first choices to play your onscreen personas. Is that true from what you recall?
That’s a direct quote from the man himself, and I’m not gonna look that gift horse in the mouth.
What about Slim made her an exciting character to sink your teeth into?
She was — and still is — a beloved woman. What she’s famous for was that everybody wanted to hang out with her. And there’s something to be said for possessing certain qualities. She said that her brain came alive around interesting conversation; some people just expand and their velocity increases, and it carries you along and it’s infectious. Truman had that quality, and I think she appreciated so much about his mind and his powers of observation. And he wanted her respect very much. So did Hemingway. This woman really was a heavyweight of discernment and represented growth from beyond humble beginnings.
I love her book [Slim: Memories of a Rich and Imperfect Life]. We’ve heard her take on things, her appreciation of things, her love of love itself. She just left a very lovely trail behind her that I can see from her book. Now, she admits that she omitted a lot (laughs). She learned from her experience that it’s wise. Leave a kind trail behind yourself for your progeny. Do we really want to be remembered for scars and wounds and unforgiveness? I mean, all these women in the show learned so much from this experience. It really rang their bell in terms of coming to terms with somebody else defining you and allowing that to happen. Not allowing that to happen really takes great effort, as you can imagine, because the written word does outlive everyone.
Did you know much about Slim, the Swans, this moment in time before you signed on?
Not really. I would say I knew more about Truman, because of his youth-defying antics and carrying on. He was hanging out with disco dancers at the end of the ’70s. I recall him on television, humiliating himself. It’s just tragic to behold somebody who has great reverence…. I don’t know what you’d refer to as. Is it, like, a self-immolation at that point? Because there’s so much denial wrapped around addiction in those days people weren’t as keen to self analyze. So, he had another way of working it out, didn’t he?
Slim’s voice is so specific in the show. How did you find how to embody her physically?
She was very breathy and she spoke, it just sort of clicked. Where she put the emphasis on the syllable was not totally predictable — I was not able to bring that to the floor. I got to hear a recording of her, because her voice is part of the narration in a few documentaries that came out about Truman; she was on a telephone interview, and the quality of recording was not fantastic. But I could feel her spirits in her voice. There’s something about the spoken word and the breath that makes people so interesting. I have an old cassette that I found last night of my mother, and wow. If you can hear somebody’s voice from history, I mean, it’s a gift.
Having her book was like a cheat — her being able to respond to this injustice and not allow herself to be framed and filtered and funneled through it. You know, I don’t know how she would feel about this presentation (laughs). I really do not want to go there. It’s a funny truth that kind of contradicts itself: By putting myself out there as her, I go and ask for forgiveness to the ancestors, because you have to walk humbly when you’re bringing somebody who walked among us. And there are people who knew her who have reached out.
The communications from Jane Fonda, for example; Slim was a friend of their mother and stepmom. And other people I’ve worked with who knew Slim personally. It’s intense, because everybody’s still touched by her. That generation still has its wings around us. You don’t forget people’s impact upon you, and it’s wonderful to remember it, especially because, with the patina of time, the edges are often forgiven. Forgiveness is real and its effects are absolutely important. I love what Ryan says about feuds and the way he writes them: Feuds are about love. As Babe says, “You can’t really hurt somebody unless there was a love there.”
To go back to what you said about Slim omitting things from her book, I find she, as a character in the show at least, has a complex relationship with fact and fiction. I think of the scene where she gives Truman a real dressing down about the stories he made up in the Esquire piece, when he believes them to be the truth.
I imagine them sitting on a sofa, enjoying champagne and popcorn, and having the last laugh on all of us — and themselves. “Well, honey, they got that right.” “No, they exaggerated that! I would have done it this way….” “They left that part out. Aren’t we lucky?” All of this is lore and all of this really happened in various memories. I do think that what has been written is quite beautifully executed.
Her relationship with Babe is also complex. Her feud with Truman is rooted in her protecting Babe from his betrayal. But she’s also betraying Babe herself by having an affair with her husband.
That’s how friends were in the ’70s! (laughs) I mean, my mother had a girlfriend who burned her paintings. I should have inherited those. It’s incredible what goes on in the name of friendship — I’ve seen worse!
I’m curious what you think about Slim’s relationship with Bill and how she comparmentalizes it for herself.
When you’ve been a close friend with someone and you’re like a family at this point, because you share family events and secrets and successes and failures — all the things that friendships buoy you through. When somebody’s stricken with bad health, the whole village gets together in a way to support the ones who need supporting. The caregivers need help, too, right?. It might be notoriously common among that generation of CEOs, those rich white men. He was voracious and had to stay moving. Sitting in one place and having an emotion is something that we get to witness as a daily experience.
But Bill is thunderstruck and beside himself. His journey is intense and beautiful, because we get it through Treat Williams’ artistry and compassion for a person. These people become icons, historically. It’s like looking at a statue — I look at a statue and I think about that person’s family who knew them really well. And who would be laughing right now that they have a statue? These people were human, and they were flawed like all of us, and in their own ways. What we’re dealing with here is a kind of freedom of perspective and a challenge to the audience to fathom what these people were thinking.
In the conversation she has with Lee, who calls her out on the affair, Slim says it’s more of a close friendship than a sexual relationship — and they both share a love for Babe during a time of crisis in her life.
There was some commentary about when Babe died, what she left to her friends in her will and what she had left for Slim. In hindsight, through a very catty lens, people would say, “Oh, well, that’s a comment.” People love to infer things. And I’m just gonna let it sit there because I really have no inkling as to whether these depictions are correct or not. You know, this is a different medium for me — I’m used to making films, where everybody has read the script and all the departments show up knowing what we’re doing. TV is a journey we take together as actors, and the story is revealed along the way.
You mentioned Treat Williams, to whom episode four was dedicated after he died last year. Do you have fond memories of working with him?
I’m still in shock. I’m still processing his loss to us. To have his work resonate so much through his character and in the work he did on this.… It’s incredibly, exponentially more indelible, because of the fact that it was his last portrayal and he brought so much humanity. I think it might have been his best work, and he was having the time of his life. He was very buoyant on set. He was a source of joy for the work we do, and we had our own sense of humor with one another. To share that experience with him, I feel very grateful. And I know Naomi does. I mean, boy, their scenes together tore my heart out. I saw an early cut of this in May, and I was crying at the end of the episode, it was so beautiful. And then June happened, and we lost him.
Feud: Capote vs. the Swans releases new episodes on FX Wednesdays at 10 p.m., streaming the following day on Hulu.

Greenwood, Mo. — Jane Pack (Goode) Carpenter’s creative life, framed by a love of music and affection for professional floral arrangements and artistic holiday decorations, came to a peaceful end.
Mrs. Carpenter, 83, of Greenwood, passed away Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019, surrounded by her husband and four children and the beneficiary of thoughts and prayers of family and her many friends.
She was born Aug. 27, 1936, in Princeton, W.Va., to Samuel B. and Ruth (Roles) Goode. She graduated from Princeton High School, where she was regarded musically as the school’s “songbird.” She earned a business education degree in 1958 at Concord College, in Athens, W.Va. She was a vocalist with the college choir, performed with the marching band, played piano and saxophone, and belonged to the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. She relished her high school and college reunions.
She married James V. Carpenter on June 25, 1958, at First Baptist Church in Princeton and left the rugged mountains of southern West Virginia for the mysterious world of dairy farming in western Missouri.
A West Virginia newspaper marked her departure more than 60 years ago: “We will be sorry to lose Jane from Princeton but are proud that our town can be represented in other places by girls with the fine qualities Jane has and who is sure to establish a Christian home that her adopted community will be proud of.”
And, she did.
Jane became an integral member of the First Christian Church in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Over more than half a century in the church, she was a deacon and elder, a soloist in the choir, a church board officer and a member of the church’s building committee and minister search committee. She was in Christian Women’s Fellowship: Priscilla Circle and enjoyed the organization’s annual charity events.
Throughout her life, she was an enthusiastic participant in Friends of the Lee’s Summit Symphony, XXV Study Club, P.E.O, Red Hat Society, Lee’s Summit Hospital Auxiliary, Lee’s Summit Historical Society and Heart of America Studebaker Club. When entertaining these peers, her quest was to be a host with the most.
She possessed a deserved reputation as a soprano and shared her gift at weddings, dozens of memorial services at Langsford Funeral Home and other community events. She was regarded as a dedicated home decorator who left no doubt as to what holiday was around the corner. She was a keen fan of the Kansas City Royals and an avid recreational bowler in a PTA league. She was wicked at Bunco, the dice game.
Jane taught in Raytown, Mo., public schools before starting a family. She worked in flower shops in West Virginia and Missouri, and competed in floral arranging events. She was a regular Jackson County election judge.
She was preceded in death by her parents and both sisters, Ruth E. Peebles and Marion Bane. Survivors include her husband, of the home; her children and their partners, Stephen Carpenter and Christine Baeumler of St. Paul, Minn.; Tim Carpenter and Jill Hummels, of Lawrence, Kan.; Carolyn and Chris Stanley, of Bloomington, Minn.; and Susan Zinkl and Bruce Stene, of St. Paul; and four grandchildren, Haley and Tess Carpenter, of Lawrence; and Lena and Sam Zinkl, of St. Paul.
Visitation is planned for 4 p.m. followed by a service at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23, 2019, at Lee’s Summit Christian Church, 800 NE Tudor Road. A reception will follow at the church. Interment will be 10 a.m. Tuesday in Mount Moriah Cemetery South in Kansas City, Mo.
The family requests memorials to the Lee’s Summit Symphony or Lee’s Summit Christian Church. The family also wants to express appreciation to Kansas City Hospice for lovingly attending to her needs at the close of a long struggle with cancer.

She was a vocalist with the college choir, performed with the marching band, played piano and saxophone, and belonged to the Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. She relished her high school and college reunions.
She married James V. Carpenter on June 25, 1958, at First Baptist Church in Princeton and left the rugged mountains of southern West Virginia for the mysterious world of dairy farming in western Missouri.
A West Virginia newspaper marked her departure more than 60 years ago: “We will be sorry to lose Jane from Princeton but are proud that our town can be represented in other places by girls with the fine qualities Jane has and who is sure to establish a Christian home that her adopted community will be proud of.”
And, she did.
Jane became an integral member of the First Christian Church in Lee’s Summit, Mo. Over more than half a century in the church, she was a deacon and elder, a soloist in the choir, a church board officer and a member of the church’s building committee and minister search committee. She was in Christian Women’s Fellowship: Priscilla Circle and enjoyed the organization’s annual charity events.
Throughout her life, she was an enthusiastic participant in Friends of the Lee’s Summit Symphony, XXV Study Club, P.E.O, Red Hat Society, Lee’s Summit Hospital Auxiliary, Lee’s Summit Historical Society and Heart of America Studebaker Club. When entertaining these peers, her quest was to be a host with the most.
She possessed a deserved reputation as a soprano and shared her gift at weddings, dozens of memorial services at Langsford Funeral Home and other community events. She was regarded as a dedicated home decorator who left no doubt as to what holiday was around the corner. She was a keen fan of the Kansas City Royals and an avid recreational bowler in a PTA league. She was wicked at Bunco, the dice game.
Jane taught in Raytown, Mo., public schools before starting a family. She worked in flower shops in West Virginia and Missouri, and competed in floral arranging events. She was a regular Jackson County election judge.
She was preceded in death by her parents and both sisters, Ruth E. Peebles and Marion Bane. Survivors include her husband, of the home; her children and their partners, Stephen Carpenter and Christine Baeumler of St. Paul, Minn.; Tim Carpenter and Jill Hummels, of Lawrence, Kan.; Carolyn and Chris Stanley, of Bloomington, Minn.; and Susan Zinkl and Bruce Stene, of St. Paul; and four grandchildren, Haley and Tess Carpenter, of Lawrence; and Lena and Sam Zinkl, of St. Paul.
Visitation is planned for 4 p.m. followed by a service at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 23, 2019, at Lee’s Summit Christian Church, 800 NE Tudor Road. A reception will follow at the church. Interment will be 10 a.m. Tuesday in Mount Moriah Cemetery South in Kansas City, Mo.
The family requests memorials to the Lee’s Summit Symphony or Lee’s Summit Christian Church. The family also wants to express appreciation to Kansas City Hospice for lovingly attending to her needs at the close of a long struggle with cancer.

The power of intention
If I had to nominate one photographer who is my favourite of all time, it would be Diane Arbus. There is just something about her photographs that impinge on my consciousness, my love of difference in human beings, their subversiveness and diversity. She pictures it all, some with irony, some with love, some with outright contempt, but always with interest. In photographs of dwarfs you don’t get the majesty and beauty that Susan Sontag desired, you get something else instead: the closeness of intention and effect – this is who this person was at that particular moment represented in a photograph, the essence of their being at that particular time.
Arbus was fascinated by the relationships between the psychological and the physical, probing her subjects with the camera to elicit a physical response. Her sensory, emotional, intellectual and aesthetic intelligence creates a single experience in relation to subject, stimulating her to respond to the world in her own unique way. While Arbus may well have hated aspects of American culture – “Its hypocrisy, this ‘happy happy’ story after the war, the consumerism, the racism, she feels deeply about that,” as Anne O’Hehir, curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s American Portraits observes – she photographed everything that makes us human in profound and powerful photographs. To me, her subjects were not ‘caught off guard’ nor did they unintentionally reveal aspects of themselves – they revealed themselves to Arbus just as they are, because she gained their trust, she had empathy for who they were… an empathy that probably flowed both ways, enhanced by the subjects sense of Arbus’ own personal travails.
It is unfortunate then, that this exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art is such a disappointment. This has nothing to do with the wonderful installation by the Heide curatorial team in the beautiful gallery spaces, but in the prints themselves and the artists that accompany Arbus’ work. Let’s look at the prints first.
According to the article “Diane Arbus: Iconic photographs on show together for first time at National Gallery of Australia” by Louise Maher on the ABC News website in June 2016, “The collection is one of the largest public holdings of her work outside New York and, according to NGA curator of photography Anne O’Hehir, one of the most impressive in the world. “The gallery was buying a huge amount of work in 1980 and ’81 leading up to the opening of the gallery in 1982,” Ms O’Hehir said. “We were offered in two lots these extraordinary photographs – they were the first release of prints from the Arbus estate and they were expensive at the time.”
These vintage prints are by the hand of Arbus, not later printings by other people, and as such should be as close a rendition to what Arbus intended the work to look like as can be found. The exhibition text notes that, “All the same, she was very clear about how she wanted her images to look; she worked hard to achieve a particular quality in her prints, which have a distinct feel and appearance that are quite different from other photographs of the 1960s … She reminds us consistently through a number of careful and deliberate strategies that we are looking at a photograph that has been made by a particular person.”
Through these strategies Arbus sought to differentiate her prints from the West Coast Ansel Adams Zone system of printing which was prevalent at the time. The Zone System would have been the antithesis of what Arbus wanted from her photographs. Every popular magazine at that time would have had Zone System stuff… so Arbus didn’t dare align herself with that school. But truth be told, if these prints are the best that she could do as a printer, then they are not very good. As can be seen from the installation photographs in this posting (not the media photographs), some of the prints are so dark as to be beyond comparison to the clarity of the prints that were later produced by her daughter Doon Arbus for the Arbus estate and for reproduction in books. You only have to look at the installation photograph of Xmas tree in a living room in Levittown, L.I. 1963 (above) and another reproduction of this image to see how dark the National Gallery of Australia’s prints are. If you take time to actually look at the photographs one of the prints, Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1966 (1966, below) was barely in focus under the enlarger when developed, and several others have not been fixed properly. They may have been first release, but how far down the release were they? We don’t know whether these were the top shelf prints, or tenth in the stack. I know from personal experience that I have a numbering system from one to ten. You sell the best print and so number two then becomes number one, and so on.
The poorness of these prints again becomes a sign of intention. The print is the final, luminous rendition of a photographers previsualisation, the ultimate expression of their creativity. This is how I want to show you the world, through this photograph. It is the end point of a long process. I believe strongly that Arbus wanted to show things as clearly as possible, as clearly as the best possible use that photography could provide. She is like a razor the way she cuts through. But in these particular final renditions, she lets herself down. And the people who bought these photographs, should have realised what poor prints they were.
Turning to the artists that accompany the work of Arbus… was it really necessary to surround such a powerful artist’s work with such noise? While it is always a delight to see the work of Mary Ellen Mark, William Eggleston, Milton Rogovin, Lee Friedlander, Garry Winogrand, Lisette Model, Walker Evans, Weegee and William Klein, to try and embed the work of Arbus within a photographic milieu, within a cacophony of imagery that stretches from the 1930s to the 1980s, simply does not work. While Arbus emerges out of the concerns of her era, she is such a powerful presence and force that simply no one compares. She is so different from the organised Evans and or the macabre Weegee, more closely aligned to Model, and certainly by no stretch of the imagination does she influence Eggleston, Friedlander, Winogrand or Rogovin in any significant way… that these artists works just become filler for this exhibition. If the intention was to situate Arbus’ work in the chronological “flow” of photography then the concept falls between intention and effect. While no artist’s work appears without regard to historical precedent, their work is simply their own and needs its own space to breathe.
What would have been more interesting would have been to position Arbus’ work within an Australian context. Now there’s an idea, since we live in Australia!
Here we go: exhibit Arbus’ prints with 15 prints by Carol Jerrems (Vale Street, Mark and Flappers), 15 prints of the early work of Polixeni Papapetrou (drag queens, Elvis fans, circus performers and wrestlers) and 15 prints of the work of Sue Ford. Four strong women who deal with issues of gender and identity in a forthright manner – not a cacophony of noise (9 artists, 6 of them men) to accompany the work of a genius. Analyse the influence of Arbus on this generation of Australian photographers. Pretty simple. Clean, concise, accessible, relevant to Australia audiences. Then intention would have possibly met effect.
There are highlights to be had within this exhibition, two in particular.
It was a pleasure to see the work of Milton Rogovin. I have always admired his work, and the small, intimate prints from his Lower West Side series (1973-2002) did not disappoint. While Arbus’ portraits are powerful visualisations, front and centre, Rogovin’s working class families are just… present. His social documentary photographs of working class families are almost reticent in their rendition. “His classical portraits, often grouped in diptychs and triptychs, expound narrative in a single image and over time. They compress time intimately… and by that I mean the viewer is engaged in a conversation with the subject, where we can imagine that we live those lives as they do (transcending time), the lives of what Rogovin called “the forgotten ones.” He makes their countenance, their physicality, the hardships they endure, and their narrative, directly and intimately compelling. We are made to feel their plight in the now and the forever. For these photographs are as relevant, if not more so, now as then.”
The other highlight is to see three Arbus photographs that I have never seen before: Old black woman with gnarled hand; Large black family in small shack; and Addie Taylor in her shack, Beaufort, South Carolina (all 1968, installation views below), all three taken with flash. These works were a revelation for their observational intimacy and evocation of a dark place in the existence of the poorest of human beings. The gnarled hand of the old woman lying in a filthy bed with cardboard walls is particularly distressing to say the least. To compare these photographs with Walker Evans’ flash photograph Hudson Street boarding house detail, New York (1931, below) and his naturally aspirated Bedroom, shrimp fisherman’s house, Biloxi, Mississippi (1945, below) in their pristine emptiness is instructive. This ideation, together with Arbus’ photographs relationship to the work of her sometime teacher Lisette Model (particularly her Lower East Side photographs (1939-1942); Albert-Alberta, Hubert’s 42nd St Flea Circus, New York (c. 1945) and Woman with Veil, San Francisco (1949) all below) are the zenith of this exhibition, where the intention of embedding Arbus’ photographs in the history of the medium come best to fruition, in effect.
Finally, I must say a big thank you to Heide Museum of Modern Art for allowing me to come out to the gallery to take the installation photographs. Many thanks indeed.

“People who met Arbus often said she was incredibly seductive. Immensely curious, she was softly spoken and her ability to connect with and gain the trust of people was legendary. She talked about “the gap between intention and effect”, explaining “it really is totally fantastic that we look like this and you sometimes see that very clearly in a photograph. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it.””
Diane Arbus quoted in Kerrie O’Brien (curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s Diane Arbus: American Portraits) “Intimate, dark and compelling: the photographs of Diane Arbus,” on The Sydney Morning Herald website March 14, 2018 [Online] Cited 16/02/2022
“The people in an Arbus photograph are never trivialised; they have certainly a larger-than-life intensity that few other photographers can achieve. While they seem like figures from fairy tales or myth, they are also invested with powerful agency.”
Gillian Wearing quoted in Kerrie O’Brien (curator of the National Gallery of Australia’s Diane Arbus: American Portraits) “Intimate, dark and compelling: the photographs of Diane Arbus,” on The Sydney Morning Herald website March 14, 2018 [Online] Cited 16/02/2022
“When you’re awake enough to question your purpose and ask how to connect to it, you’re being prodded by the power of intention. The very act of questioning why you’re here is an indication that your thoughts are nudging you to reconnect to the field of intention. What’s the source of your thoughts about your purpose? Why do you want to feel purposeful? Why is a sense of purpose considered the highest attribute of a fully functioning person? The source of thought is an infinite reservoir of energy and intelligence.
In a sense, thoughts about your purpose are really your purpose trying to reconnect to you. This infinite reservoir of loving, kind, creative, abundant energy grew out of the originating intelligence, and is stimulating you to express this universal mind in your own unique way.”

Heide is delighted to host the National Gallery of Australia’s touring exhibition, Diane Arbus: American Portraits.
The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923-1971) are among the most widely recognised in the history of photography. Her images stand as powerful allegories of post-war America, and once seen are rarely forgotten. Works such as Identical twins, Roselle, N.J., 1967 and Child with toy hand grenade, in Central Park, New York City have been described as two of ‘the most celebrated images in the history of the medium’.
Featuring 35 of Arbus’s most iconic and confrontational images from 1961-1971, this exhibition examines the last decade of Arbus’s life,the period in which her style is in full flight. Her work has polarised viewers who question whether she exploited or empowered her subjects, who were often drawn from society’s margins. ‘The National Gallery of Australia is privileged to hold such an extraordinary collection of work by a photographer of Arbus’s significance,’ said Anne O’Hehir, curator. ‘This collection covers Arbus’s best-known pictures, and also includes images which are rarely seen. This exhibition is a testament to the power of Arbus’s extraordinary vision.’
Arbus’s photographs are exhibited alongside a selection of works by other leading American photographers whose work influenced Arbus, was shown alongside hers in the ’60s, or has been influenced by her. These include famous images by Lisette Model, Walker Evans and Weegee, her contemporaries William Klein, Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Milton Rogovin as well as a slightly younger generation, work by Mary Ellen Mark and William Eggleston.
Heide Director and CEO Dr Natasha Cica said: ‘Heide is delighted to present this exhibition of the renowned photographer Diane Arbus. Her uncompromising view challenged existing photography conventions in a surprising and enchanting way.’

Klein sandwiched his relatively short photographic career, working as a fashion photographer for Vogue, between being a painter and a filmmaker. Self-taught, he experimented with flash, wide-angle lenses, blurring, abstraction and accidents, and produced grainy, high contrast prints. He is deliberately at the other end of the spectrum from the invisible, disinterested photographer. Klein deliberately got really close to his subjects, in their faces, and caught them reacting to being photographed on the street. ‘To be visible, intervene and show it’ was his mantra.

Introduction
The photographs of Diane Arbus (1923-1971) are powerful allegories of postwar America. Once seen they are rarely forgotten. Contemporary audiences found the way that Arbus approached the genre of portraiture confronting and her work continues to polarise opinion. The images raise difficult, uncomfortable questions concerning the intent of the photographer.
Arbus had a huge curiosity about the society around her; her favourite thing was ‘to go where I’ve never been’. As she was a photographer, this manifested as an obsessive exploration into what it means to photograph and be photographed, and what can happen at that moment of exchange – something elusive and a little bit magical. Whether Arbus is an empathetic champion of the outsider, or an exploitative voyeur, is something that each viewer alone must decide.
The National Gallery of Australia’s collection of Arbus photographs is among the most impressive in the world. The NGA is extremely fortunate to have bought 36 rare, vintage prints in 1980 and 1981, from the earliest releases of prints from the Arbus Estate. These works are from the last decade of the artist’s life, the period in which her recognisable style is in full flight and she was in total control of her medium.
These rare prints are shown alongside photographs by others who also sought to redefine the tradition of portraiture, and whose vision of America is also both challenging and moving. The work of these photographers relates to Arbus in a variety of ways: they are influencers, contemporaries or heirs to aspects of her worldview. Like Arbus, they are keen, singular observers of their worlds, transforming the sometimes banal and ugly into images of unexpected beauty.
An uncompromising view of the world
Diane Arbus was born Diane Nemerov, the daughter of wealthy Jewish New Yorkers; her father ran Russek’s, a department store on Fifth Avenue selling furs and women’s clothing. Growing up in an apartment in a towering building on Central Park West, her world was highly protected, one in which she never felt adversity. This was something Arbus resented both at the time and later; it seemed to her to be an unreal experience of the world. At 18 she married her childhood sweetheart, Allan Arbus, and for a decade from the mid 1940s, they ran a successful photography studio doing fashion shots for leading picture magazines.
In 1956 Arbus ceased working with Allan in the studio and began instead to explore subjects of her own choice. She was, apart from the occasional class, essentially self-taught and as she struck out on her own, she undertook a detailed study of the work of other photographers. Compelled to confront that which had been off-limits in her own privileged childhood, she looked to other photographers who had confronted the world head-on, including Weegee, William Klein, Walker Evans and Lisette Model. They recorded, each in their own way, their surroundings with an at-times frightening candour. In their images, Arbus found an uncompromising view of the world, stripped of sentimentality.
Weegee
Weegee turns the banal and seedy underbelly of New York city streets after hours into moments of great psychological drama. A freelance news photographer, he supplied images to the popular press but was also well regarded in art circles. The Museum of Modern Art collected his work and exhibited it in 1943. Arbus owned a number of Weegee’s books and greatly admired his Runyonesque view of the world. She closely studied aspects of his working method as she formulated her own, especially his use of flash. His ‘wild dynamics’ made everyone else ‘look like an academician’, she wrote.
William Klein
Returning to New York in 1954 from his émigré life in Paris, Klein was at once taken aback by what he perceived to be a society pursuing purely materialistic goals, but also excited by the energy he found on the streets. Self-taught, he experimented with flash, wide-angle lenses, blurring and close-ups, abstraction and accidents, and produced grainy, high contrast prints. Klein’s 1956 book, Life is Good & Good for You in New York: Trance Witness Revels, a copy of which Arbus owned, gave impetus to the emerging genre of street photography through his harsh, uncompromising vision of the city. His work was met, particularly in the United States, with misunderstanding and hostility.
Walker Evans
The writer James Agee travelled to Alabama in America’s South in 1936 to research an article on the plight of tenant farmers for Fortune magazine. He chose photographer Walker Evans to accompany him. The article did not eventuate but a book did, Let us now praise famous men. Both men were unnerved by what they saw: Agee wrote of ‘the nakedness, disadvantage and humiliation of … an undefended and appallingly damaged group of human beings’. And yet in the face of this, Evans made images of insistent frontality and careful symmetrical framing; devoid of cliché or pretention, and suggesting an impartiality. This gave the images a great authenticity and power.
Evans’ oeuvre is essentially concerned with how photography represents the world. His significance in the development of twentieth-century photography was reappraised during the 1960s, largely through the largesse of John Szarkowski, the head of the Museum of Modern Art’s photography department at the time. Szarkowski argued that the foundations for many of the key aesthetic and formal tendencies of 1960s photography rested in Evans’ work. The catalogue that accompanied his 1938 exhibition American photographs, in particular, had a huge impact on the new generation of photographers, and on Arbus in particular. She met Evans in 1961 and visited him regularly at his New York home throughout the decade. He wrote in support of her 1963 Guggenheim Grant application.
Lisette Model
Lisette Model’s satirical portraits of the rich on the French Riviera and the photographs she made in the 1940s of the Lower East Side’s poor and marginalised bear out the fact that she took her own advice: ‘Don’t shoot ’till the subject hits you in the pit of your stomach’. By the 1950s she had largely turned to teaching and her influence on Arbus, who took a number of her classes at the New School in 1956 and again in 1957-1958, was profound. Model encouraged Arbus to pursue her own distinctive voice. Model recalled, ‘One day I said to her, and I think this was very crucial, “originality means coming from the source…” And from then on, Diane was sitting there and – I’ve never in my life seen anybody – not listening to me but suddenly listening to herself through what was said.’
The gap between intention and effect
Prior to 1962 Arbus worked primarily with a 35mm Nikon camera. Her images at this time were often about gesture, with grainy images and subjects frequently shown in movement. In 1962 Arbus switched to a 2 ¼ inch medium-format, twin-lens Rolleiflex (later a Mamiyaflex), which she used with a flash and which when printed full-frame, gave the photographs a square format. The pictures she took with these cameras are deceptively, deliberately simple. Compositionally they are often masterful with repetitions of shapes and minutely observed, subtly presented details. Despite the confronting subject matter, her images have a classical stillness, an insistent frontality that she borrowed from classic documentary photography. To this Arbus adds a very deliberate use of the snap-shot aesthetic, with slightly tilted picture planes and people caught unawares, to signal the authenticity of her connection with the subject.
Arbus developed a working method and style that offered what amounts to a critique of the photographic portrait. There is a palpable tension in the way she presents her subjects, a complicity in the image-making process which rubs up against the fact that her subjects seem caught off-guard, unintentionally revealing aspects of themselves. Arbus identified this as ‘the gap between intention and effect’, explaining that ‘it really is totally fantastic that we look like this and you sometimes see that very clearly in a photograph. Something is ironic in the world and it has to do with the fact that what you intend never comes out like you intend it’. Arbus’s ability to connect with and gain the trust of people is legendary. Fellow photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt that she was ‘an emissary from the world of feeling. She cared about these people. They felt that and gave her their secret’.
The aristocrats
As a student at the alternative Fieldston Ethical Culture School in the Bronx, Arbus developed a fascination with myths, ritual and public spectacle. This preoccupation remained steadfast throughout her life. For example, in 1963 she was awarded a prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship to document ‘American rites, manners and customs’. Arbus had an almost insatiable curiosity and fascination with the world and she sought to make photographs that addressed fundamental aspects of our humanity in the broadest terms. It was the photographer Lisette Model, with whom she studied in the late 1950s, who made her realise that, in a seemingly contradictory way, the more specific a photograph of something was, the more general its message became.
To this extent, it is notable that Arbus’s photographs rarely address the issues of the day in any overt and obvious way. While there are exceptions – for example, her work for magazines from the sixties, including portraits of celebrities and documentary work examining the plight of the poor in South Carolina – for the most part Arbus used the camera as a licence to enter the specifics of other people’s lives.
She was particularly drawn to marginalised people, who for whatever reason had fallen out of a conventional place in society and were forced (those born into disability) or chose (the nudists, for example) to construct their own identity. To find them, she frequented sideshow alleys and Hubert’s Freak Museum at Broadway and 42nd Street, joined nudist camps in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and visited seedy hotels; she also found them in public spaces, in streets and parks where social rules were often arbitrarily imposed and discarded.
Arbus’s subjects are often seen to play with society’s roles and restrictions. She classified these people as ‘aristocrats’, having achieved a certain freedom from social constraints, and they made her feel a mix of shame and awe.
The prints
Arbus stated that, for her, ‘the subject of the picture is more important than the picture’. There is no doubt that the emotional authenticity of what she photographed was of upmost importance. In keeping with this, she often undersold her skill as a photographer; she often complained of technical difficulties, and others frequently observed that she seemed weighed down by her equipment. In downplaying her relationship to the technical aspects of her work, Arbus sought to emphasise instead her rapport with her subjects. All the same, she was very clear about how she wanted her images to look; she worked hard to achieve a particular quality in her prints, which have a distinct feel and appearance that are quite different from other photographs of the 1960s.
From the mid 1960s, Arbus worked hard to emphasise the photographic-ness of her pictures. She modified the negative tray on her Omega ‘D’ enlarger, which produced the distinctive black border around her images; later again, she used strips of cardboard down the sides of the negatives to blur the edges of her images. Both of these techniques meant that each of her prints is slightly, wonderfully unique. And there is often, as in the cases of Woman with a beehive hairdo and Girl in a watch cap, both made in 1965, damage (tears and marks) on the negative that Arbus has made no effort to minimise or disguise. Close viewing of the collection of photographs held at the NGA reveal ghostly traces of the hand of Arbus. She reminds us consistently through a number of careful and deliberate strategies that we are looking at a photograph that has been made by a particular person.
To know life
Arbus was not alone in photographing the social landscape of America in the 1960s. Others, including Garry Winogrand, Lee Friedlander and Milton Rogovin, similarly took to the country’s streets. Rogovin’s life work was to photograph people from poor minority groups, much of his work being made in Buffalo, New York, where he himself lived. Like Arbus, he often knew and befriended his subjects, returning to photograph them over many years, collaborating with them to create images of great dignity and integrity.
Like Arbus, Winogrand and Friedlander were included in the landmark 1967 exhibition New documents, curated by John Szarkowski for the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This was the only major showing of Arbus’s work during her lifetime. While acknowledging that each of the artists in the exhibition had their own distinct styles, Szarkowski characterised them as part of a generation that used the documentary tradition ‘to more personal ends.’ As he wrote: ‘Their aim has been not to reform life, but to know it. Their work betrays a sympathy – almost an affection – for the imperfections and frailties of society’.
An essential aspect of their innovation was the way they positioned photography and the acts of taking and viewing a photograph as an essential aspect of the work. Their photographs were not intended simply as windows to the world. As Winogrand noted when asked how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera, ‘there are no photographs while I’m reloading’. Winogrand, Friedlander and Arbus were fascinated by how the real was translated into the language of photography, and how the experience of the photograph involves a fascinating, multilayered three-way interaction between the photographer, the subject and the viewer.
Garry Winogrand
Winogrand restlessly prowled the same streets of New York as Arbus in the 1960s, working stealthily, capturing people without their knowledge. His viewpoint, one he asks the viewer to join, is unashamedly, unapologetically voyeuristic. He used a Leica M4 with a wide-angle lens and tipped the picture plane, giving his compositions a particular feel. Traumatised by the fraught political tensions of the cold war period, anxiety found its way into the imagery – lending his work an edge that makes for a compelling reading of an alienated and fearful society in the throes of change. His city is a site of unexpected confrontations and strange, witty juxtapositions. Fellow photographer Joel Meyerowitz remarked that Winogrand ‘set a tempo on the street so strong that it was impossible not to follow it. It was like jazz. You just had to get in the same groove’.
Lee Friedlander
Friedlander’s images are invariably about looking and this includes turning the camera on himself. He often intrudes into his hastily grabbed, ironic studies of the city, through reflection or shadow or a pair of shoes. Thus, the viewer of his photographs is constantly reminded that this is an image of the world that is made by someone, in this case, the photographer Lee Friedlander. The works are laconic, witty and intensely personal: and certainly the self-portraits are rarely flattering. Coming at the end of a decade in which a particular, new brand of art photographer had begun to achieve celebrity status, through the efforts of curators like John Szarkowski at the Museum of Modern Art, Friedlander’s self-portraits can also be seen as a shrewd send-up of fame.
Milton Rogovin
Originally trained as an optometrist, Rogovin began his career as a social documentary photographer in 1958, recording gospel services held in ‘store-front’ churches in the African-American neighbourhood of Buffalo, New York. Profoundly influenced as a young man by the impact of the Great Depression, Rogovin reflected that, ‘I could no longer be indifferent to the problems of the people, especially the poor, the forgotten ones’. He worked in collaboration with his subjects, who were always allowed to determine how they should be photographed. His photographs focus on family life, the celebrations and events that bind a community together, and the particulars of an individual’s existence.
The Arbus legacy
Arbus occupies an important place in the development of American photography. Her work has indelibly influenced the way that the documentary tradition has continued to evolve over the last 50 years, with many of the leading contemporary photographers, such as William Eggleston and Mary Ellen Mark, continuing to rethink the tradition, looking back to Arbus just as she looked back to her predecessors. Although it has often infuriated, and continues to do so, those who take issue with the way Arbus photographed the world, her impact on audiences and photographers alike is incontestable.
William Eggleston
While Arbus used the snap-shot aesthetic in her work to increase its aura of authenticity and immediacy, when Eggleston employed the same technique in colour without the abstraction and artistic mediation of black-and-white, contemporary audiences reacted with confusion. Careful observation of the images though reveals a masterful eye, and a sophisticated understanding of the way photography transforms the world. Eggleston’s images are at once monumental and mundane, ordinary and strange, prosaic and poetic. The result is luminous, breathtaking and perfectly banal.
Mary Ellen Mark
The photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark built a career photographing those on the fringes of society, seeking out those who she felt displayed what she described as attitude and often working on projects over many years, slowly earning trust. Her commitment was to give the people she photographed a unique voice, an individuality. Commenting on a body of work, Mark spoke of her desire to let her subjects ‘make contact with the outside world by letting them reach out and present themselves. I didn’t want to use them. I wanted them to use me’.
Mark spent months photographing the New York bar scene at night. This work formed the basis of her first one person exhibition, at the Photographers’ Gallery in London. She reflected at the time, ‘I would like to have the means to travel the whole country and show what America is through its bars. Millions of people who do not want or can not stay at home. The majority of clients are loners, which is why it is extremely difficult to work in these places. I had to make myself accepted’.

While training as a musician in Vienna, Lisette Model studied under the avant-garde composer Arnold Schoenberg, who introduced her to the Expressionist painters of the early 20th century. Influenced by European modernist philosophy and aesthetics, Model abandoned music in Paris in 1933, taking up painting and then photography. She gained initial renown for a series of photographs of men and women lounging in deck chairs along the Promenade des Anglais in the south of France. In 1938, she relocated to New York with her husband (the artist Evsa Model), where she took photographs of exuberant characters on the streets of New York – catching reflections of individuals in store windows and images of feet in motion and holidaymakers around Coney Island. Model taught at the New School where one of her most famous students was Diane Arbus, and was published by Harper’s Bazaar and other magazines.

With its intense red, Eggleston’s picture of the spare room in a friend’s home is one of the most iconic of all colour photographs. Often called The red room, this photograph was intended to be shocking: Eggleston described the effect of the colour as like ‘red blood that is wet on the wall’. But the radicalness of the picture is not just in its juicy (and impossible to reproduce) redness; it is also found in the strange view it provides of a domestic interior, one that Eggleston has described as a ‘fly’s eye view’.

Winogrand was asked how he felt about missing photographs while he reloaded his camera. He replied ‘There are no photographs while I’m reloading’: There is no possibility in the Winograndian world view of regarding the camera as a window onto the world; it becomes a mirror reflecting back the photographer’s concerns. Winogrand was fascinated by how the real was translated into the photographic. In the end this fascination became an obsession from which he could not escape or find solace – or meaning. At the time of his death there were a third of a million exposures that he had never looked at including 2,500 undeveloped rolls of film.

“I always wanted to be a photographer. I was fascinated with the materials. But I never dreamed I would be having this much fun. I imagined something much less elusive, much more mundane.” ~ Lee Friedlander
Friedlander is known for his complex, layered images, exploring the way that the urban landscape fragments our vision. Throughout his career he has found endless fascination in photographing reflections in windows – merging what lies behind the glass with what is reflected in it – out of which he has created juxtapositions which are witty and insightful. He often inserts himself into the image, either overtly or more frequently as a shadow or partially concealed form – part of his face, for instance, hidden behind the camera.
In the 1960s he moved away from a recognisably documentary style toward one in which the subject is more elusive, reflecting a society which had itself become more fragmented and complex. By cropping and cutting up city and natural landscapes he changes our perception of them. In creating compositions that are dynamic, unexpected and often confusing, Friedlander asks us to look freshly at our everyday environments.

“Written with her trademark flair and force, Sontag’s book [On Photography] inaugurated a wave of criticism, much of it influenced by Foucaultian theory, that underscored the instrumentality and implicit violence of photography, its ability to police and regulate it subjects, especially those lacking social and political power: the poor, presumed “deviants” or “criminals,” and workers. As Sontag herself acknowledged, however, photography is not only a predatory means of taking possession, but also a mode of conferring value; it can potentially be put to counter-hegemonic uses, used to see and frame in ways that affirm and legitimate, rather than strictly contain and control, the presence of culturally disenfranchised persons.”
“The power of his art stems from the particular manner in which Rogovin transforms traditional portrait photography and documentary practice, opening up potentially instrumentalist, one-sided visual forms to dynamics of reciprocity and mutuality…”
“Rogovin’s photography thus balances the documentary desire to grasp and present, to “capture” an image of the”Other,” with a commitment to holding back in order to allow his subjects space to shape the photographic process. His practice is a form of”approach,” to borrow a term from Carol Shloss, that resists even as it engages. We might call this an aesthetic of “making space”: a photographic method that creates room for subjects to actively participate in the production of their own images rather than stand as passive objects before a colonizing gaze.”
“The fact that Rogovin’s work at once invokes and questions the camera’s capacity to classify – to embed individuals in a larger archive – echoes his challenge to documentary business as usual. Certainly, Rogovin’s images of working people perform a classic documentary task: to lend public visibility to those who have been overlooked and exploited, to give aggrieved people the social recognition they are otherwise denied in our society. However, his images do not enforce the power and prerogatives of middle-class reformers or governmental institutions, as did so much early twentieth-century documentary photography, which, as Maren Stange has argued, tended to reassure “a 11 liberal middle-class that social oversight was both its duty and its right.” By refusing to provide pity-inducing images of working people that present them as weak and vulnerable, Rogovin’s photographs undercut the sense of privilege viewers often feel when looking at pictures of what Jacob Riis called “the other half.””

Despite a focus on the camera’s relationship to the beauty and pure form of the modern world – “the attraction and charm of the surface” – these photographs are more than just being skin deep. In their very straightforwardness the photographs propose a “rigorous sensitivity to form revealed patterns of beauty and order in the natural and man-made alike.” But more than the portrayal of something we would not see if it were not for the eye of the photographer, the lens of the camera, the speed of the film, the sensitivity of the paper, the design of the architect, the genetics of nature … is the mystery of life itself.
Modernist structures and mass-produced objects in plants and animals can never beat a good mystery. Just look at Man Ray’s Woman with closed eyes (c. 1928, above) or the look in the eyes of Robert Frank’s son, Pablo. You can never pin that down. While form may be beauty, mystery will always be beautiful.

“The world is beautiful is an exhibition of photographs taken over the last 100 years from the National Gallery of Australia’s magnificent photography collection, including work by Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Max Dupain, Bill Henson, Robert Mapplethorpe, Man Ray, Cindy Sherman and many more.
It draws its title from one of the twentieth-century’s great photographic moments, the publication of Albert Renger-Patzsch’s book The world is beautiful in 1928. Renger-Patzsch’s approach embodied his belief that ‘one should surely proceed from the essence of the object and attempt to represent it with photographic means alone’.
Inspired by this confidence in the medium, the exhibition looks at the way the camera interacts with things in the world. One of photography’s fundamental attributes is its capacity to adopt a range of relationships with its subject, based on the camera’s physical proximity to it. Indeed, one of the most basic decisions that a photographer makes is simply where he or she places the camera. The pictures in this exhibition literally take you on a photographic trip, from interior worlds and microscopic detail to the cosmic: from near to far away.
Together, these photographs capture some of the delight photographers take in turning their cameras on the world and re-imaging it, making it beautiful through the power of their vision and their capacity to help us see the world in new ways.”
Text from the National Gallery of Australia website
“German photographer Albert Renger-Patzsch was a pioneering figure in the New Objectivity movement, which sought to engage with the world as clearly and precisely as possible.
Rejecting the sentimentality and idealism of a previous generation, Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) emerged as a tendency in German art, architecture and literature in the 1920s. Applying this attitude to the field of photography, Renger-Patzsch espoused the camera’s ability to produce a faithful recording of the world. ‘There must be an increase in the joy one takes in an object, and the photographer should be fully conscious of the splendid fidelity of reproduction made possible by his technique’, he wrote.
This selection reflects the range of subjects that Renger-Patzsch returned to throughout his career. It includes his early wildlife and botanical studies, images of traditional craftsmen, formal studies of mechanical equipment, commercial still lifes, and landscape and architectural studies. His images of the Ruhr region, where he moved in 1928, document the industrialisation of the area in almost encyclopaedic detail. All of his work demonstrates his sustained interest in the camera’s relationship to the beauty and complexity of the modern world.
In 1928 Renger-Patzsch published The World is Beautiful, a collection of one hundred photographs whose rigorous sensitivity to form revealed patterns of beauty and order in the natural and man-made alike. Embodying a new, distinctly modern way of looking at the world, the book established Renger-Patzsch as one of the most influential photographers of the twentieth century.”

Near
Close up, the world can be surprising. There is an undeniable intensity and focus that comes with getting up close to people and objects. It is rude to stare, but photography has no such scruples.
Pioneers of the medium attempted to photograph organic forms through a microscope, making once-hidden worlds accessible. The pleasure photographers take in getting up close to their subject has followed the medium’s progress. This was especially the case during the twentieth century, when advances in photographic technology and profound shifts in our relationship to space brought about by events such as war often turned our attention away from the outside world.
For many photographers, the camera’s capacity to subject people and objects to close scrutiny has provided a way of paring back vision to its essence, to view the world unencumbered by emotion and sentiment. For others, getting up close is not just about physical proximity; it is also about psychological and emotional states that are otherwise difficult to represent. Experiences such as intimacy, love and emotional connection, as well as disquiet, anxiety and hostility, can all be suggested through the use of the close-up. Photographers have also used it literally to turn inwards, escaping into the imagination to create dreamworlds. The camera-eye really can see what the human eye cannot.

“In photography one should surely proceed from the essence of the object and attempt to represent it with photographic terms alone.”
~ Albert Renger-Patzsch
Renger-Patzsch’s primary interest was in the object as a document, removed from its usual context and unencumbered with sentiment. Die Welt ist schön [The world is beautiful], published in Munich in 1928, is one of the great photographic books in the history of photography and its influence across the world was profound. It is an astounding study of the world, celebrating beauty wherever the photographer found it – in modernist structures and mass-produced objects or in plants and animals. The connection and continuity of industry to the natural world is conveyed by emphasising underlying structural and formal similarities. The Gallery has a major holding of works by Renger-Patzsch, including a copy of Die Welt ist schön and 121 vintage prints, most of which were reproduced in the book.
Renger-Patzsch was always firmly committed to the principle of the photograph as a document or record of an object. While the title for his most famous contribution to photography came from his publisher, he wanted his now-iconic 1928 book Die Welt ist schön (The world is beautiful) to be titled simply Die Dinge (Things). In 1937 he wrote that the images in his book, ‘consciously portray the attraction and charm of the surface’. Indeed, the power of these pictures resides in their straightforwardness.

In 1923 Weston travelled from San Francisco to Mexico City with his son, Chandler and his model and lover, Tina Modotti. The photographs he made there represented a startling, revolutionary breakthrough. Everything got stripped down to its essence, with objects isolated against neutral backgrounds. For these heroic head shots, he moved out of the studio, photographing in direct sunlight, from below and with a hand-held camera. They are monumental but still full of life: Weston was excited by the idea of capturing momentary expressions, in people he found ‘intense and dramatic’.

Frank set out on a two-year road trip across the States in 1955. The images he made of race and class divisions, poverty, alienated youth and loneliness expose America’s dark soul. Others, such as this haunting image of his son, Pablo, were more personal. A selection appeared in The Americans, published in Paris in 1958 and in the States the following year. Many saw it as a bitter indictment of the American Dream, others saw an evocative, melancholic vision of humanity that is deeply moving. As Jack Kerouac commented in his introduction to the American edition, Frank ‘sucked a sad, sweet, poem out of America’

“I try to reveal something about people, because they are so separate, so isolated, maybe it’s a way of bringing people together I don’t want to exploit people. I care about them.”
~ Carol Jerrems, 1977
Carol Jerrems became prominent in the 1970s as part of a new wave of young photographers. Influenced by the counter-culture values of the 1960s, they used art to comment on social issues and engender social change. Jerrems photographed associates, actors and musicians, always collaborating with her subjects, thereby declaring her presence as the photographer. Vale Street raises interesting questions about what is artifice and what is real in photography. She deliberately set up this image, employing her aspiring actress friend and two young men from her art classes at Heidelberg Technical School. Vale Street has achieved an iconic status in Australian photography; the depiction of a confident young woman taking on the world is an unforgettable one. It is an intimate group portrait that is at once bold and vulnerable. In 1975 it was thought to be an affirmation of free love and sexual licence. The image also appears to be about liberation from society’s norms and taboos – ‘we are all three bare-chested, we have tattoos and so what?’
The implication that this scene is perfectly natural is reinforced by locating the figures in a landscape. The young woman is strong and unafraid of the judgement of the viewer. The necklace around her neck is an ankh – a symbol of the new spiritualty of the Age of Aquarius and a re-affirmation of the ancient powers of women.

National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1980
Like the Australian-born Anton Bruehl, Paul Outerbridge studied at the Clarence White School of Photography in New York. White was keen to see photography establish itself as a practical art that could be used in the service of the rapidly expanding picture magazine industry. Within a year of enrolling in the school, Outerbridge’s work was appearing in Vogue and Vanity Fair. During his lifetime, Outerbridge was known for his commercial work, particularly his elegant, stylish still-life compositions which show the influence of earlier studies in painting. He was also admired for the excellence of his pioneering colour work, which was achieved by means of a complicated tri-colour carbro process.
Much of Outerbridge’s fame now rests on work that he made following more private obsessions. His fetishistic nude photographs of women are influenced primarily by eighteenth-century French painters such as Ingres. Although the depiction of nudes was a genre pursued from the inception of photography, Outerbridge’s interest in breaking down taboos resulted in this material, if known at all, being passed over or vilified in his lifetime. Outerbridge sought to express what he described as an ‘inner craving for perfection and beauty’ through these often mysterious, languid and richly toned images.

Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954)
Untitled #92
1981
Type C colour photograph
61.5 x 123.4cm
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1983
This is one of 12 Centerfolds made by Sherman in 1981. The Centerfolds present Sherman posing in a range of situations, each suggesting heightened emotional states and violent narratives; these associations are augmented by the uncomfortably tight framing and the panoramic format used by Sherman across the series. Initially commissioned for the art magazine Artforum, the Centerfolds were never published because they were deemed, with their apparently voyeuristic points of view, to reaffirm misogynist views of women.

With its intense red, Eggleston’s picture of the spare room in a friend’s home is one of the most iconic of all colour photographs. Often called The red room, this photograph was intended to be shocking: Eggleston described the effect of the colour as like ‘red blood that is wet on the wall’. But the radicalness of the picture is not just in its juicy (and impossible to reproduce) redness; it is also found in the strange view it provides of a domestic interior, one that Eggleston has described as a ‘fly’s eye view’.

During the 1920s, raising three young sons, Cunningham began to focus on her immediate surroundings. This restricted environment encouraged Cunningham to develop a new way of working, as she began to place her camera closer to the subject: to zebras on a trip to the zoo, to snakes brought to her by her sons, and perhaps most famously to the magnolia blossoms and calla lilies she grew in her garden. Observing what she termed the ‘paradox of expansion via reduction’, the intensity and focus attendant to this way of seeing flooded her work with sensuality and reductive power.

Skeleton leaf

This leaf skeleton – a leaf that has had its pulp removed with heat and soda – was probably photographed in front of a window in Cotton’s home near Cowra, NSW. Since the 1930s Cotton had been drawn to the close study of nature, and many of her best photographs feature close-ups of flowers, tufts of grass and foliage. This photograph is notable because it was taken in the studio, and reflects the austerity and simplicity that pervaded Cotton’s work in the decades after the Second World War.

Middle distance
The further away we move from a subject, the more it and its story open up to us. While the close-up or compressed view tends to be very frontal (the camera presses up against the subject), the defining characteristic of much mid-century photography was its highly mobile relationship to space: its extraordinary capacity to survey and to organise the world.
The space between the camera and its subject can suggest impartiality and detachment. Documentary photographers and photojournalists, for example, open their cameras up to their subjects, as if to ‘let them speak’. But the depiction of the space between the camera and its subject, and the way that it is rendered through the camera’s depth of field, can also reflect decision making on the part of the photographer. By adjusting the camera’s settings, and thus choosing to render part of the subject in focus, the photographer can direct our focus and attention to certain parts of an image. In this way, photographers put forward an argument based on their world view. Photography can change the way we think about the world.

Bing took up photography in 1928 and quickly developed a reputation as a photojournalist and photographer of modernist architecture. Inspired by an exhibition of modern photography and the work of Paris-based photographer Florence Henri, Bing moved to Paris 1930 and quickly became associated with the city’s photographic avant-garde. Bing worked exclusively with the fledgling Leica 35mm-format camera; her interest in the pictorial possibilities of the hand-held Leica can clearly be seen in this striking view of the Eiffel Tower.

Winogrand had a tremendous capacity to photograph people in public spaces completely unawares. This image records a group of visitors to the 1964 World’s Fair; it focuses on three young women – Ann Amy Shea, whispering into the ear of Janet Stanley, while their friend Karen Marcato Kiaer naps on Stanley’s bosom. The figures fill the space between the picture’s fore- and middle-grounds, to the extent of allowing the viewer to examine people’s expressions and interactions in close detail. This in turn allows us to encroach on the personal space of people we don’t know.

Diane Arbus (American, 1923-1971)
Child with toy hand grenade, in Central Park, New York City
1962
Gelatin silver photograph
Image: 20 x 17.2cm
Sheet: 32.8 x 27.6cm
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, purchased 1980
During workshops with Lisette Model, Arbus was encouraged to develop a direct, uncompromising approach to her subjects. She did this using the square configuration of a medium-format camera which Arbus most usually printed full frame with no cropping. Model also convinced Arbus, who had been interested in myth and ritual, that the more specific her approach to her subjects, the more universal the message. In many ways this image of a boy caught hamming it up in Central Park, with his contorted body and grimacing face, captures and prefigures many of the anxieties of America during the sixties, a country caught in an unwinnable war in Vietnam and undergoing seismic social change.

“The streets of the poor quarters of the great cities are, above all, a theatre and a battleground.”
~ Helen Levitt
Inspired by seeing work by Walker Evans and Henri Cartier-Bresson in 1935, Levitt took to the streets. Children became her most enduring subject. Like Evans, Levitt was famously shy and self-effacing, seeking to shoot unobserved by fitting a prism finder on her Leica. Her approach eschews the sensational; instead she is interested in capturing small, idiosyncratic actions in the everyday. Her images were often shot through with a gentle, lyrical humour though a dark strangeness also surfaces at times.

For Haas, colour photography represented the end of the grey and bitter war years and he started seriously working in the medium after moving to America in 1951. Work on his photoessay, Land of Enchantment and film stills assignments for The Misfits, The Bible and Little Big Man took Haas to the Southwest. The desert landscape of Albuquerque, located on Route 66, had been totally transformed by progress since the 1920s. Photographing the street after rain, Haas has signified that evolution by way of his distinctive ability to translate the world into shimmering energy.

Faraway
Photography has a long-standing interest in faraway places. In 1840, right in photography’s infancy, astronomical photography was launched when the first photograph of the moon was made. As photographic imaging technology has improved, so has the medium’s capacity to make faraway places accessible to us.
Photography can bring foreign places and people closer to home, or collect together images of places and structures that are located in different places. It can also attempt to give a picture to experiences that are otherwise difficult to grasp or represent, such as complex weather events or transcendental phenomena.
Against the odds, there are photographers who make images that are about what cannot be seen. Faraway is often used as a metaphor for thinking about the ineffable and the inexplicable. Science and spirit go hand-in-hand. ‘The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious’, Albert Einstein believed. Photographers can take us to new worlds.

Adams became the most famous landscape photographer in the world on the back of his images of America’s West. While mass tourism was invading these wilderness areas, Adams’s photographs show only untouched natural splendour. His landscapes are remarkable for their deep, clear space, distinguishable by an uncanny stillness and clarity. The story of Moonrise is legendary: driving through the Chama River Valley toward Española, Adams just managed by a few seconds to catch this fleeting moment before the dying sunlight stopped illuminating the crosses in the graveyard. Through hours of darkroom manipulation and wizardry, Adams created an image of almost mystical unworldliness.

Up in the sky is unusual in Moffatt’s oeuvre for being shot out of doors on location. Her photomedia practice is informed by an upbringing watching television, fascinated by film and pop culture. This series takes many of its visual cues from Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Accattone of 1961 as well as the Mad Max series – the references, twisted and re-imagined, are like half-forgotten memories. She addresses race and violence, presenting a loose narrative set against the backdrop of an outback town. The sense of unease is palpable: Moffatt here is a masterful manipulator of mood.

Laurence Aberhart (Aotearoa New Zealand, b. 1949)
Taranaki, from Oeo Road, under moonlight, 27-28 September 1999
1999
Gelatin silver photograph
19.4 x 24.3cm
Gift of Peter Fay 2005
National Gallery of Australia, Canberra
For four decades, Aberhart has photographed the Taranaki region of New Zealand’s North Island, including its settled landscape and its most distinctive feature, the sacred TeMounga (Mount) Taranaki. Using an 8 x 10-inch view camera, Aberhart has over time built up an important archive documenting the social geography and landscape of the Taranaki. Aberhart describes the conical mountain as a ‘great physical and spiritual entity’ and sees his photographs of it as a counterbalance to the countless images of the mountain that circulate on tea towels and postcards.

Lorna Welch Cain
March 28, 2009 ~ Lorna Welch Cain, 72, passed peacefully after a brief illness. She was surrounded by family and friends. Lorna was born June 27, 1936 in Laconia, NH to Robert Ozro and Myrle G. Welch. Her family moved to Newbury, VT where she spent her childhood, attended school, and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the Vermont mountains. Lorna was passionate and dedicated to whatever project she embraced in life. She left home to study English Composition at Keene State College for 2 years before returning to Newbury to support her family in tough times. She later ventured to Boston, and eventually Hartford, CT where she was a Quality Assurance Inspector for Pratt & Whitney. There, she met the love of her life, Peter. They quickly married. started a family, and set forth working together t. manage a large apartment complex. In 1971, Lorna and her family hit the road, traveling up the east coast to Prince Edward Island, researching family heritage, and living in a camper for almost a year- all the while enjoying the adventure. Next, Lorna moved to Randolph, ME where she and her husband built a home. The pair operated a boarding home for Veteran's who were adjusting to civilian life.
Lorna was a social worker, nutritionist, counselor, nurse, life skills coach, chef, and friend to many brave men. She took great pride in the care she provided and was the ultimate caregiver! She enjoyed being able to care for her daughter while running the boarding home and regularly provided childcare for many other children and friends. She also opened her home to her mother and brother, caring for them until they passed before her. After operating the boarding home for 33 years and with much encouragement she finally retired in 2006. Lorna was a wonderful, loving, fun, and creative daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother. She reveled in all of life's details: reading, cooking, sewing, knitting, gardening, playing with children, crossword puzzles, music, dance, and theater. She especially loved animals, adopted strays, and always surrounded herself with as many as possible! She was good at everything she did and was always willing to learn something new. She taught all of us how to love unconditionally, enjoy life, and above all care for each other.
She will be greatly missed by those who are left behind: Peter K. Cain, husband; Crystal Cain Castro, daughter; Brian Castro, son-in-law; Ethan and Elijah Castro, grandsons; Nancianne Woodward, sister; Frank Woodward, brother-in-law; 5 treasured nieces and nephews; 13 great nieces and nephews; Kim Abbott, adopted daughter and her family; and a myriad of people she has touched along the way. A graveside ceremony will be held Saturday April 4th at 1pm at Newbury Cemetery in Newbury, VT. As much as Lorna loved flowers,she would have preferred folks donate to their local Animal Shelter in her memory.

Alice A. Pratt
AUGUSTA -- Alice Ann Pratt, 50, died March 30, 2009, at Hospice House in Auburn.
Born in Augusta on March 22, 1959, she was the daughter of Stanley Lamont and Jean Elizabeth (Cloutier) Pratt. Her delivery was done by the late Lee W. Richards Jr., M.D.
Alice attended Hussey School, Williams School and Ella Hodgkins School, and was a 1977 graduate of Oak Grove-Coburn School in Vassalboro. While at Oak Grove, Alice spent hours in the riding ring and on the trails upon her favorite horse, Promise. She then studied art at Mount Ida College in Newton, Mass. Alice had a keen interest and appreciation for the works of the late Andrew Wyeth.
Alice enjoyed antiques auctions, sewing, crafts, gardening, cooking and making fleece blankets and pillows for others. She was a skilled chef and caterer and enjoyed experimental cooking. As a child, she had many fond memories of summers at Pine Cove on Three Mile Pond and also at the Cloutier-Carrier cottage on Rangeley Lake in Oquossoc. She and her many friends made numerous trips to Reid State Park and other coastal and distant destinations. Alice's first love was the family log cabin at the "lake." Alice and her brother, Jon, took great pride in the care of the gardens, grounds and waterfront.
On Aug. 4, 2008, Alice learned that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer. She fought her illness with dignity and courage, and never complained. Throughout the course of her illness, Alice met many people. She was an advocate for her own care and was not afraid to speak up if she had questions. Her medical records and pathology slides have been placed in the library at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston where Harvard Medical School students, faculty and other providers may access them for future research and treatment.
Alice was a member of St. Marks Episcopal Church in Augusta.
She was an avid animal lover who had many dogs and cats over the years. She also was known for getting treatment and placement for neglected or abused animals.
She worked at several jobs in her lifetime. For many years, Alice had been the office manager and a licensed funeral attendant at her family's former funeral homes, Laite & Pratt in Camden, and Gray & Pratt in Windsor. Alice was a resident of Windsor for several years. Her most enjoyable employment came from working for many years for several families in Maine and Greenwich, Conn., as a chef, au pair, gardener and driver. Alice once told of a man who she kept meeting each morning at the neighboring mailbox in Connecticut named George. After several weeks, she learned that her unshaved neighbor was George C. Scott. She was proud to live and work on a neighboring island beside the late Andrew and Betsy Wyeth, and a couple of summers ago prepared dinner for Gen. Alexander Haig.
Alice loved spending time with her sister and family in Sarasota, Fla., and East Greenwich, R.I. She was famous for cooking up "special requests" for her nephews. Her obituary photo shows her last fall at Warwick Country Club, where she enjoyed relaxing and spending time with family and friends. Alice loved to attend cousins' events at Boothbay Harbor with the numerous members of the extended Sutton family clan. Alice enjoyed skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Kingfield and Squaw Mountain in Greenville.
Her caregivers, in addition to her brother, Andy; Tracie Young Carolin; Lisa Kaye Pomerleau, RN; and Mark Sutton, were all with her until the end. Alice was grateful for the care and concern of the crews of Rescue 3 and Rescue 4 of the Augusta Fire Department.
She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Leon S. Pratt, DMD, and Ethelyn Sara (Halpen) Pratt; her maternal grandparents, Wilfred A. Cloutier and Carla (Weymouth) Cloutier; and her maternal grandmother, Alice (Eagan) Cloutier. Alice was also predeceased by Elaine (Pratt) Golden and Martha (Cloutier) Roscoe, aunts; and Theodore "Ted" Roscoe and Frederick W. Eaton, uncles.
Surviving are her parents, Stanley L. and Jean (Cloutier) Pratt; her two brothers, Andrew L. Pratt and Jon S. Pratt, all of Augusta; her sister, Andrea J. (Pratt) Stinson and her husband, John A. Stinson, of East Greenwich, R.I.; her nephews, Eric Stinson, of West Warwick, R.I., Craig Stinson and Ryan Stinson, of East Greenwich, and Andrew B.L. Pratt, of Brighton, Mass.; several aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins, and all of their family members, and many friends.

Marilyn Gould
Marilyn 'Dee' Gould July 13, 1923- Dec. 24, 2008 FREEPORT -- Loving mother of four and grandmother of four, as well as mother figure to many more, Dee passed away unexpectedly from a cerebral hemorrhage on Dec. 24, 2008, surrounded by family, the way she liked it best. A true friend and mother to everyone who passed through her door, Dee will always be remembered as a woman who opened her heart and her home to all who knew her. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Dee was raised in Philadelphia by her parents, Howard T. and Florence R. Mitchell. While attending the University of Pennsylvania and earning her bachelor's degree in education, she met Charles S. Gould, a young, dashing merchant mariner on a blind date arranged by her Alpha Chi Omega sorority sister. On Aug. 17, 1946, the two married and began their life together in New Brunswick, N.J. Dee taught kindergarten and Charlie worked towards his master's degree at Rutgers University. In 1954, Charlie, a sales representative at Dupont Chemical, was transferred to Maine and they settled there after a brief stint in Texas. In 1956, they moved to their home in South Freeport and raised their four children. Dee was a member of The South Freeport Congregational Church where she was a long time choir member (she had a voice like an angel), organist and junior choir director. A member of the Harraseeket Yacht Club, Dee was also politically active in town and county politics and was an accomplished piano player who even taught lessons for a few years. In 1966, Dee went back to work first at Job Corps in Poland Springs, then later, in 1970, as a psychiatric social worker at the Bridgeton Mental Health Clinic. Later in 1978, she transferred to Maine Medical Center where, in addition to her duties in the psychiatric unit, she did consultations in the ER and burn units. Dee's experiences made her a firm advocate of family participation. She once said, 'I'm a great believer in family involvement. People don't live in a vacuum, they live in a system with others. Mental illness represents great challenges, but with understanding comes acceptance.' No one knew more about family acceptance than Dee herself. After her retirement in 1990, she turned her attention and efforts to her family and friends, keeping up a long-standing Gould family tradition called 'Augustfest,' a family reunion held in their home for the past 30 years or so. Augustfest was an event which Dee planned and executed in her typical way-with tons of love and even more important perhaps, her 'meticulous' lists of everything from guests to menus to sleeping arrangements. No matter whether 10 people attended or 100, Dee was ready for anything. Dee is survived by her husband of 62 years, Charles S. Gould; her children, Charles M. Gould of Portland, Barbara L. Gould of Lincolnville, Matthew R. Gould of Falmouth, Mass., and James D. Gould of Natick, Mass.; and her four grandchildren, Louisa, Morgan, Steven and Danny; as well as many, many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and close friends whom she considered her own. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to hospice or another charity of your choice Marilyn 'Dee' Gould

That same year, Phil published his first and only Cost Accounting textbook, which is still used in some college classrooms around the world. Phil liked to point out that more than 4,000 students had taken one or more of his accounting classes. He also was very proud of the many students that he counseled regarding accounting as a career choice. Twice during his tenure at USM, Phil took visiting professorships at other colleges - The University of Iowa and Arizona State University.
After his retirement from USM, he also taught for two spring semesters at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. In 1960, Phil married Ruth Press.

When did Diana Spencer meet Prince Charles?
It was in the summer of 1980, at a house party hosted by Diana’s friend Philip de Pass in New Grove, near Petworth, that Prince Charles first saw Diana Spencer as a potential girlfriend. Sitting next to each other on a bale of hay at a post-polo barbecue, an 19-year-old Diana expressed her sympathy for Charles over the loss of his beloved great-uncle, Lord Mountbatten, who had been murdered by the IRA a year earlier. “My heart bled for you when I watched the funeral; I thought, ‘It’s wrong, you’re lonely – you should be with somebody to look after you’,” said Diana. This, says Penny Junor, was exactly what Charles needed to hear.
“Mountbatten was a very important figure in Charles’s life and he was in a fragile state at that point,” says Junor. “Diana really touched a nerve in Charles, she said just the right thing to him, at the right moment, and he was moved by her.”
This encounter was not, however, the first time Charles and Diana had met. The pair had been introduced two years earlier, in 1977 – Charles thought her “jolly” when he visited Althorp, the Spencer estate, when he was dating Diana’s older sister, Lady Sarah (a relationship that ended in early 1978). Diana had also attended Charles’s 30th birthday party along with her sister at Buckingham Palace in November 1978, and in January 1979 Diana again met Charles when she and Sarah were guests of Queen Elizabeth II at a weekend shooting party at Sandringham.
After that weekend, Charles occasionally invited Diana to the ballet as part of a group or to dinner with friends. The relationship was, at this stage, purely platonic – Diana was fun to have around. It was not until their heart-to-heart about Lord Mountbatten in 1980 that Charles first saw Diana as girlfriend material.
Keen to spend more time with Diana, Charles promptly invited her to Balmoral to join him and a group of friends staying there for a summer holiday. Diana enchanted and delighted. “She seemed to be the perfect girl,” says Junor. “She was funny, she was fun, everybody seemed to love her – she made everyone laugh and she seemed to adore Charles.
“She was, on paper, absolutely perfect as a bride for him. At the time it was thought Charles’s bride must be a virgin, an aristocrat and a member of the Church of England. Now, we should remember that by the 1980s, after the 1960s sexual revolution and the introduction of the contraceptive pill, there were very few aristocratic virgins around, and as time went by – Charles was by this point in his 30s – they were getting fewer and fewer.
“So, here was this girl who appeared to be absolutely lovely; perfect marriage material. And she appeared to be very uncomplicated. She was fresh and naïve and full of the joys of life. Or so it seemed.”
But, says Junor, pressure began to mount on Charles and Diana almost immediately.
“Ever since Charles was around the age of 18 the press had been looking at every girlfriend and asking, ‘could this be our next queen?’. They delved into the background of all of these women, which put an awful lot of them off. It was very difficult for Charles to meet and get to know somebody. And this is exactly what happened with Diana: she met Charles and almost immediately the press discovered that he was seeing her. The paparazzi camped outside the door to her flat in London; everywhere she went she was photographed and harassed. It was impossible for the two of them to get to know one another in any sort of ‘normal’ way.”
Charles was also under pressure from his father, Prince Philip, to stop ‘playing the field’ and get married. It was time for Charles, who was now in his 30s, to settle down and find a wife, his father thought. “The bottom line being, of course, that every heir requires an heir of his own in order to keep the monarchy going,” says Junor.
Did Prince Philip tell Charles to marry Diana?
The catalyst came in the form of a memo sent by Prince Philip to his son in early 1981 urging him to make up his mind. You either marry this girl or you let her go, he wrote.
But, says Junor, this memo was fatefully misinterpreted by Charles. “The royal family communicates with one another in very strange ways,” she said.
“Rather than just picking up the phone or having a chat face-to-face, it was all done through memos. Charles misread his father’s memo: he thought he was being told that he must marry Diana – and so he asked her to marry him.”
When did Prince Charles and Diana Spencer get engaged?
Charles proposed to Diana on 6 February 1981 at Windsor Castle. But it was a tragic mismatch, says Junor. Charles and Diana had, at this point, barely spent any time together – Diana later claimed that she and Charles had met only 13 times before they became engaged. “And most of that time they'd not spent alone together,” Junor adds. “So they really didn't know one another at all.”

Diana’s mental health
Diana soon began to struggle in her new role. Aged just 19 and having been living happily in a flatshare in London with a group of girl friends, Diana was taken away from everything she knew and moved into a suite of rooms at Buckingham Palace.
“It was awful for her, and lonely,” says Junor. “As soon as she moved into Buckingham Palace she appeared to be a very different girl from the girl she had been at Balmoral – she suddenly became very weepy and jealous of anywhere Charles went and anyone he saw. Her moods went up and down; shooting to stardom in a very short space of time was too much for her.
“Meanwhile Charles, who was on a perpetual rollercoaster of engagements that he couldn’t get off, didn't quite know how to cope with this; he didn't know what was going on.”
Diana was struggling with her mental health and with the eating disorder bulimia, says Junor. “She’d had a very traumatic childhood; she was a very damaged little girl who had grown into a very damaged young woman,” says the royal biographer. Diana’s parents had endured an unhappy marriage and separated when she was just six years old.
Diana Spencer's early life
A year-and-a-half before Diana was born, her mother, Frances Ruth Roche, who was already the mother of two girls, Diana’s elder sisters, had given birth to a baby boy who died when he was just 10 hours old. Diana was born 18 months later, in July 1961, followed by a much-wanted male heir: Diana’s younger brother, Charles.
When Charles was around the age of two or three, Diana’s mother met Peter Shand Kydd, an heir to the wallpaper fortune built by his father, Norman Shand Kydd. The pair began an affair and later decided to become a couple. “Frances thought she could finally be happy, and she had every intention of taking her children with her,” says Junor.
But, tragically, Frances lost custody of Diana and her three siblings following an intervention by her mother, Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, a lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother. “Appalled that her daughter had run off with a ‘man in trade’, Baroness Fermoy gave evidence in the custody proceedings against her own daughter,” says Junor.
“She told the court Frances was a bad mother, and as a result, custody of all four children went to Diana’s father. This is, I believe, why Diana’s mother later became a reclusive and very sad woman. It was because she had lost her children.”
Diana, aged just seven and completely unaware of the custody proceedings, was left feeling abandoned and as though her mother did not love her enough to take her with her. “And then she worked out that actually she was a bit of a nuisance,” says Junor. “Her mother and father had wanted a boy, and that boy had died. Diana later told journalist Andrew Morton [who wrote the authorised 1992 biography Diana: Her True Story], her parents had tried for another boy but ended up with Diana.
“Diana felt very unloved and unwanted, and she took those feelings into her adult life – she was always desperate to be loved but expected people to abandon her.”
Diana’s bulimia
Diana struggled with bulimia for many years before seeking professional help.
It’s difficult to know when exactly it started, but it was “in full swing” by the time of their honeymoon, says Junor. She may initially have been treated for anorexia.
“I think that the eating disorder was a manifestation of a much greater disorder,” says Junor. “Her mental health was poor; she had struggled mentally from childhood.
“Bulimia and anorexia are very destructive conditions; they’re very hard to live with,” says Junor.
Revelations of Diana’s bulimia were first published in Andrew Morton’s 1992 authorised biography, Diana: Her True Story. She later spoke about her struggle with the condition in her famous 1995 Panorama interview with Martin Bashir. [In 2021, an independent inquiry found that Bashir had used deception to secure the interview]
“I think she felt that nobody could help her,” says Junor. She saw various conventional therapists but also turned to a number of alternative, complementary therapists including astrologers and crystal healers.”
Wwhere and when did Charles and Diana and get married?
The wedding of Charles and Diana married at St Paul’s Cathedral on 29 July 1981 in what has been described as the wedding of the century. “I think Charles and Diana both knew they were making a mistake when they walked down the aisle,” says Junor.
“But it would have taken somebody very brave to cancel at that point. Charles had always said that marriage for him must be for life and it was therefore very important that he marry the right girl – ‘If I’m deciding [on] whom I want to live with for 50 years – well, that’s the last decision on which I [would] want my head to be ruled by my heart.’
“So although I don’t think he was actually in love with Diana, I think he thought he could grow to love her. Fundamentally I think he had every intention of making his marriage work.
“A lot of people believe that Charles used Diana; that he never loved her and he never had any intention of honouring his marriage vows. They think he just needed his heir and his ‘spare’ and that once that was achieved, he went off with the woman he’d always loved, Camilla. That is very much the story that a lot of people like to believe.
“Having spoken to a great many people who were around at the time, I happen to believe that story is completely wrong. I have always felt that it was just a very tragic mismatch; these two people were just completely wrong for one another. I really do not think that Charles used Diana or intended to use Diana, but once he was inside that marriage life was utterly unbearable for both of them.”

Was Charles still seeing Camilla when he married Diana?
Charles’s relationship with Camilla had ended when she married Andrew Parker Bowles in the summer of 1973. Camilla settled into her new life as a wife and mother and her friendship with Charles remained platonic in the years that followed. But the pair restarted their affair shortly after the birth of Camilla’s second child, Laura, in early 1978, and in 1979 Charles turned to Camilla for consolation for his grief following the death of Lord Mountbatten. Camilla was “his best friend, his soul mate, and, and after the death of his great-uncle, lover,” writes Marlene Koenig in this article for HistoryExtra. This second affair lasted until Charles’s engagement to Diana in 1981.
“Camilla’s husband, unfortunately, was very unfaithful to her, so she was very lonesome in her marriage,” says Junor. “And Charles made her feel good. Who can blame her for enjoying that relationship while Charles was single? But she knew that once Charles became married, the physical side of their relationship would end. She was under no illusion that it would carry on. And when Camilla realised that Diana was jealous of her, she stepped right back.”
Tensions were made worse by the fact that Charles had failed to tell Diana about his history with Camilla when they first began dating, says Junor. Early on in his relationship with Diana, they even went to stay with the Parker Bowles’s, but Charles did not disclose the fact Camilla was his ex-girlfriend. Instead, Diana found out on the grapevine “through Buckingham Palace gossip,” says Junor. “As a 19-year-old, Diana would have been hugely upset by that, and very jealous,” she adds. “She probably felt like a bit of a fool”.

Diana and The G&F bracelet
The last time Charles and Camilla saw one another before he married Diana was just a few days before the wedding. They had one final lunch together, during which Charles gifted Camilla a bracelet inscribed with the letters ‘G’ and ‘F’, which is thought to have stood for ‘Gladys’ and ‘Fred’ – their nicknames for one another.
Shockingly, Diana had discovered the bracelet just two weeks previously, in the office she shared with Charles’s right-hand-man, Michael Colborne. Prince Charles had asked Colborne to buy jewellery as presents for a number of women with whom he had been close during his bachelor years, as a way of thanking them for their companionship.
“All the jewellery had been delivered to the office that Diana was sharing with Colborne and put on his desk,” Junor explains. “Colborne was called away to a meeting down the corridor. He left the jewellery on his desk and when he came back he met Diana storming out of the office. He quickly realised she had unpacked the boxes, discovered the bracelet and got into a jealous rage.”
Camilla attended Charles and Diana’s wedding but the pair did not then see one another or communicate for nearly five years – apart from when Charles notified her of the birth of his first son, William.
Princess Diana's sons: the births of William and Harry
In June 1982, less than a year after Diana and Charles married, their first son, Prince William, was born.
This was, for the most part, a happy time for the couple, says Junor. “I’ve interviewed people who visited Kensington Palace in the early 1980s – they describe Diana charging about the house playfully looking for William who had run away and hidden under his father’s desk at bedtime.
Others describe Charles chasing Diana up the stairs. I think there were definitely good times. Diana would later tell journalist Andrew Morton that the period just before Harry was born [in 1984] was the happiest the couple had had together.
“Diana very much enjoyed being a mother, she absolutely loved William and Harry with every fibre of her being. If you are someone who desperately needs love – as, I would argue, Diana did – there’s nothing quite like a baby to fulfil that need. So having children was the best possible thing for Diana.”
Tensions in Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage
But tensions in the marriage were escalating and Diana’s moods were changeable. “She was incredibly complicated,” says Junor. “There were behaviours that she exhibited privately but not publicly, and I think this is why the public has always found it very hard to believe anything other than Diana’s story. Andrew Morton’s biography, for example, is absolutely Diana’s story, but it’s her story, it’s not the story.
"The truth is we’ve never heard Charles’s side. Apart from admitting adultery to Jonathan Dimbleby [in his televised 1994 interview] he has never talked about their marriage or criticised his ex-wife in all these years.
“Ultimately I think Charles did everything he could to try to make Diana happy. But she wanted 101 per cent of Charles’s attention all the time, and he was just not the man who would ever have been able to give that to her because the bulk of his attention has always gone on his work.”
Tensions also arose as the press and public lavished attention on Diana over-and-above Charles. During their 1983 tour of Australia – which features in season four of The Crown – Charles is said to have bemoaned the fact he was being outshone by his wife. Junor, who joined the royal couple on their very first royal tour – of Wales shortly after their honeymoon – says Charles was often overshadowed by Diana to the extent it was “painful to watch”.
During royal tours of towns and cities, thousands of people would line both sides of the street and Charles would meet-and-greet those on one side, Diana the other. “There were audible sighs and groans from people on Charles’s side,” says Junor. “They would hand Charles bouquets of flowers and ask him to pass them to his wife.”
The press were also “obsessed” with Diana, says Junor. Charles would give a speech about an issue dear to him, such as the environment or a charitable cause, but – much to his frustration – newspaper reports the next day would be dominated by photos of Diana, with commentary on her hairstyle, her weight and her clothes, and often speculation as to whether she was pregnant. There would be no mention of his speech.
“After a while, this began to really grate on Charles,” says Junor. “He had spent his whole life being in the spotlight. Members of the royal family do their own engagements, they’re used to being the star of the show. So when Charles suddenly found himself being kicked into the wings, with his wife – for all the stupidest reasons, like a hairstyle – suddenly the star, who could blame him for getting a bit peeved?”

Would Diana have had a career if she hadn’t met Charles?
“I suspect not,” says Junor. “She was not very well educated. And because she was the product of a divorced couple I think each parent probably spoiled her; I don’t think there was any real discipline in her life.
“If she started something and wanted to give up, she gave up: she’d gone to finishing school but didn’t like it, so left; she’d done jobs she hadn’t enjoyed, so she’d given them up. And one thing that the royal family has in spades is discipline; their lives are regimented, and I think Diana found that very difficult.
“Diana had left boarding school with no real qualifications at all and she wasn’t a great reader of books. In the late 1970s she studied ballet and briefly taught at the Vacani School of Dance, and she had looked after children briefly as a kindergarten teacher.
“She had dabbled in lots of things she liked. But with no qualifications she was never going to go anywhere great. She really didn’t need to work; she had plenty of money. So if she hadn’t met Charles, she probably would have married someone posh and had children, staff and nannies – and an active social life.”
What was Diana’s relationship like with the Queen and Prince Philip?
To begin with, both the Queen and Prince Philip were very enthusiastic about Diana, says Junor. They’d known her as a child because her family lived at Park House on the Sandringham Estate; her father was an equerry to the Queen. Diana was also a similar age to Prince Andrew and she used to attend parties with him.
“When Diana stayed at Balmoral in the summer of 1980, the Queen and Prince Philip thought she was enchanting,” says Junor. For many years Charles kept secret the difficulties he and Diana were having in their marriage. “The Queen and Prince Philip were blissfully unaware,” says Junor. “But as time went by and they came to learn of the problems in the marriage through the press, they became very irritated with her. Diana’s behaviour was damaging the monarchy, and if there’s one thing the Queen cares about above all else, it’s the monarchy. She is safeguarding it for the future; that’s the prime task for any monarch.”

When did Charles and Diana’s marriage break down? When did Charles start his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles?
Diana would later tell Andrew Morton that she realised her marriage to Charles was over around the time their second son, Harry, was born, in 1984. According to Diana she was crushed by comments Charles supposedly made following the birth. “Something inside of me died,” the princess told Morton.
By 1986 the marriage had collapsed and Charles was at what Penny Junor describes as “a critical sort of low”. Two mutual friends, concerned for Charles, independently contacted Camilla and urged her to reach out to him. She picked up the phone to Charles and their friendship restarted from there.
“Some years later Charles would confirm that Mrs Parker Bowles was a good friend, but insisted he had been faithful to Diana until their marriage had ‘irretrievably broken down’,” writes Marlene Koenig.
Charles and Camilla first saw one another again in 1986 when Charles invited her and her husband, Andrew, for tea at Highgrove. Over the coming months Charles and Camilla’s friendship developed and by around 1987 the pair were romantically involved again, says Junor. “Andrew was still being horribly unfaithful to Camilla and she didn’t feel loved or cherished by him in their marriage,” says Junor.
“Meanwhile Diana by this time had had affairs with several men, the first of which was probably with her bodyguard, Barry Mannakee. James Hewitt [a former cavalry officer in the British Army, with whom Diana admitted to having an affair] was also well in the picture by the time Charles went back to Camilla. Charles and Diana were leading very separate lives by this point.”
When did Charles and Diana separate and divorce?
Charles and Diana lived largely separate lives from around 1986, and Charles’s affair with Camilla continued. In December 1992, after years of speculation by the tabloid press that the marriage was in jeopardy, British prime minister John Major announced that the couple had formally separated.
In the summer of 1994, Charles’s interview with Jonathan Dimbleby was televised “in which he admitted infidelity and revealed both a lack of sympathy for Diana… and a worrying distance from his family,” writes Sarah Gristwood in this article for HistoryExtra.
This revelation, says Junor, compelled Andrew Parker Bowles to divorce Camilla. The pair announced their divorce in January 1995. A few months later, in November 1995, Princess Diana gave her famous Panorama interview with Martin Bashir in which she told viewers “there were three of us in this marriage – so it was a bit crowded”.
Did Charles ask Camilla to leave her husband, as is shown in The Crown?
Within weeks of the interview, the Queen suggested the couple should divorce – and quickly. Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles was dissolved in August 1996, after four years of separation.
On 31 August 1997, Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris. She was 36 years old when she died.
In January 1999, Charles and Camilla made their first public appearance together as a couple. Their engagement was announced on 10 February 2005 and they married just a couple of months later on 9 April at a civil wedding at Windsor Guildhall, followed by a Service of Blessing at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Princess Diana in The Crown
Princess Diana first appeared in season 4 of Peter Morgan’s royal drama The Crown, where she was played by Emma Corrin, with Elizabeth Debicki taking on the role in seasons 5 and 6.
“As in real life, the collapse of both Anne’s and Andrew’s marriages proved to be a mere sideshow compared to the far more sensational and high-profile split between the Queen’s eldest son and his first wife,” writes historian Tracy Borman of the how the breakdown in Charles and Diana’s marriage is portrayed in season 5.

A look back at the esteemed personalities who left us this year, who'd touched us with their innovation, creativity and humanity.
By CBSNews.com senior producer David Morgan. The Associated Press contributed to this gallery.
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI (April 16, 1927-December 31, 2022) stunned the world in 2013 when he announced, after eight years in office, that he lacked the strength to continue as head of the Catholic Church. The then-85-year-old thus became the first pope in 600 years to resign.
The first German pope in a thousand years, Benedict – born Joseph Ratzinger – was a theologian and writer devoted to history and tradition, who was elected to succeed Pope John Paul II. He used his position to redirect the world's focus on faith in an era of secularization. On his first foreign trip as pope, at a 2005 World Youth Day gathering in Cologne, Germany, he told a million attendees, "In vast areas of the world today, there is a strange forgetfulness of God. It seems as if everything would be just the same even without Him."
He reached out to other faiths, and became only the second pope in history to enter a synagogue. As a conservative, many of his actions (such as relaxing the restrictions on Latin mass) satisfied traditionalists, but were controversial among more progressive voices in the clergy. There were also PR gaffes; he was criticized for telling reporters, in 2009, that distributing condoms would increase, not decrease, the spread of AIDS.
But he was also forced to confront the fallout of the church's sex abuse scandal, and notably apologized to victims.
Benedict's dramatic decision to retire, rather than to remain in office until his death, paved the way for the election of Pope Francis, a more progressive cleric. The two lived as neighbors, an unprecedented arrangement, as Benedict wrote and lived a monastic life in the Vatican Gardens. Francis would say having Benedict at the Vatican was like having a "wise grandfather" living at home.
Barbara Walters
Trailblazing broadcaster Barbara Walters (September 25, 1929-December 30, 2022) forged a path for women in an industry that was dominated by men, so much so that, when she was hired as a writer for NBC's "Today" in 1961, she was only allowed to write for women. Writing for male correspondents would become only one of many glass ceilings she would break.
She began making on-air appearances with light, offbeat stories, for which she once wore bunny ears to report on the life of a Playboy bunny. In addition to "Today," she also hosted the syndicated morning show "Not for Women Only."
Walters would become the co-host of "Today," only to be lured away by ABC News in 1976, becoming the first woman to anchor an evening network newscast, earning an unprecedented $1 million salary. But co-anchoring with Harry Reasoner proved disastrous, and ABC News president Roone Arledge moved her into special projects, with primetime interview specials and contributions to the newsmagazine "20/20," a show she would eventually co-host. And in 1997, she created "The View," an all-female live talk show that tackled any and every topic.
During her decades at NBC and ABC, she earned her reputation as a tough interviewer with incisive questioning of newsmakers, celebrities, politicians and world leaders. She admitted she was never in awe around celebrities, because she'd grown up around many, her father being a nightclub owner. "I'm not afraid when I'm interviewing, I have no fear!" Walters told The Associated Press in 2008. And she was not afraid to snatch an interview away from a colleague – her competitive chops to get an exclusive were strong.
By 2004, when she stepped down from "20/20," she had logged more than 700 interviews (more than a few of whose subjects would be made to cry). She won 12 Emmys, and received a Peabody Award for her interview with Christopher Reeve, following the horseback-riding accident from which he was paralyzed. In 1999 her two-hour talk with Monica Lewinsky, in which the former White House intern discussed her affair with President Bill Clinton, drew more than 70 million viewers.
In 2014, upon her retirement from "The View," Walters said she was proud of her legacy, of the women who followed in her footsteps.
And she promised Variety, "I'm not going to cry."
Pelé
For many, Brazilian football star Pelé (October 23, 1940-December 29, 2022) was the greatest player of "the beautiful game." He won a record three World Cups, and became one of the most commanding sports figures of our era.
For nearly two decades he transfixed fans and dazzled opponents with his grace and athleticism as a leading scorer for the Brazilian club Santos, and his country's national team.
He was a mere 17 years old when he scored two goals in Brazil's 5-2 victory in the 1958 World Cup final. "I got the gift from God to play football," he said. That gift catapulted him from an impoverished childhood to worldwide celebrity, becoming an ambassador not just for the game, but for UNESCO and the United Nations as well.
In 1975, at age 34, he signed a $2.8 million contract with the New York Cosmos that made him the world's highest-paid athlete. He played in the States for three seasons, and finished his career with a record 1,279 goals.
In retirement, he didn't quite leave the field. He played a football player in the Sylvester Stallone movie "Victory."
In 2018 Pele described for GQ magazine what it was like to make his 1,000th career goal: "It was a penalty kick and for the first time in my whole career my legs were shaking, the whole of the Maracanã was shouting and screaming, and I remember thinking, 'Oh, my God… I cannot miss!' …
"When I was 17, it was my first World Cup, no responsibility, no nerves. But for my 1,000th goal, I was Pelé, three-time world champion, most famous footballer. I never felt pressure like it."
Vivienne Westwood
"I never, ever tried to shock people," said Vivienne Westwood (April 8, 1941-December 29, 2022), who in 1970s London became the leading designer and seamstress of the punk movement – a fashion rebellion made of ripped fabric, safety pins and S&M gear.
She told "Sunday Morning" in 2013, "At the time of punk rock, I was so outraged at the way the world is so corrupt and mismanaged and everything, that the look was supposed to be of an urban guerrilla. It was somehow a kind of crusade to challenge the status quo."
Westwood hadn't wanted to be a fashion designer; she'd started out as a primary schoolteacher. But she offered to help her boyfriend, Malcolm McLaren, manager of the pioneering punk rock band, The Sex Pistols. Together they opened a music and fashion shop on London's Kings Road.
Though she had no formal training, she held her first runway show in 1981, and gradually moved into more traditional fashion work, incorporating historical British designs into contemporary clothes (though still managing to shock, as in her 1987 Statue of Liberty corset).
Even decades after punk's rise and fall, the Westwood style remained irreverent and uncompromising, her hair still dyed a trademark orange. And she became accepted by a British establishment that once mocked her; the Queen made her a dame in 2006.
When correspondent Anthony Mason asked Westwood if she still thought of herself as a rebel, she replied, "To tell you the honest truth, all I am really trying to do is to make the world a better place," she said.
Stephen "tWitch" Boss
Dancer and choreographer Stephen "tWitch" Boss (September 29, 1982-December 13, 2022) became the beloved dancing DJ on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," beginning in 2014, and a familiar presence on TikTok, in videos featuring his wife, dancer Allison Holker.
Born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, Boss studied dance performance at Southern Union State Community College and Chapman University. A contestant on "So You Think You Can Dance," he later became a judge on the dance competition show. He also appeared on "Star Search," "The Wade Robson Project," and in films like "Hairspray," "Step Up: All In," "Step Up 3D," "Magic Mike XXL," the 2016 "Ghostbusters," and "The Hip Hop Nutcracker."
In a 2014 interview with the Associated Press, Boss talked about his inspirations: "I love Fred Astaire … [He] was so smooth, and it was great. He was so classy. But Gene Kelly, he could be like somebody's dad, who just decided to get up off the couch and dance around and clean the kitchen up."
Angelo Badalamenti
Composer Angelo Badalamenti (March 22, 1937-December 11, 2022) was best-known for his work with filmmaker David Lynch, from motion pictures like "Blue Velvet" and "Mulholland Drive," to the cult TV series "Twin Peaks." Sensuous and other-worldly, Badalamenti's synthesizer-infused music was perfectly suited to the surreal and evocative visuals of Lynch.
Badalamenti grew up in Brooklyn listening to Italian opera, took piano lessons beginning at age 8, and earned bachelor's and master's degrees from the Manhattan School of Music. A music teacher, he also wrote songs for Nina Simone ("Another Spring") and Nancy Wilson ("Face It Girl, It's Over"), and for the films "Gordon's War" and "Law and Disorder," as well as a Christmas carol that was recorded for PBS.
When Isabella Rossellini was shooting 1986's "Blue Velvet," Badalamenti was asked to help her with the vocals for her performance as a nightclub singer. He did, and the subsequent recording earned high praise from the director: "This is peachy keen!" Badalamenti then composed music to accompany lyrics by Lynch for a song, "Mysteries of Love."
In a 2016 interview for Pitchfork Magazine, Badalamenti recalled asking Lynch what kind of music he wanted for his very unusual, non-rhyming, no-hook lyrics: "He said, 'Angelo, just let the music float like the ocean tide, just put it in space, make it timeless and endless.'" He brought on singer Julee Cruise to record the ethereal song, which led to Badalamenti being asked to compose the entire score.

The composer's collaborations with Lynch would extend beyond films such as "Wild at Heart," "Lost Highway," "The Straight Story" and "Mulholland Dr.," to the landmark series "Twin Peaks," which itself spawned a feature film and a reboot series. (Badalamenti received three Emmy nominations for the show.)

He and Lynch also staged a live concert piece, "Industrial Symphony No. 1," performed by Cruise, for the 1989 New Wave Music Festival in Brooklyn.
Badalamenti's other film credits included "A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors," "Weeds," "The Comfort of Strangers," "The City of Lost Children," "Holy Smoke," "The Beach," "Secretary," "Lathe of Heaven," "Auto Focus," "Cabin Fever," "A Very Long Engagement," and "Stalingrad."
In an article posted on culture.org, Badalementi's nephew, Frances, recalled visiting with his uncle in Prague while he was recording his score for Lynch's "Lost Highway," and a piece of advice his uncle gave him: "You need to do what you are good at. You need to do what you do best."
Kirstie Alley
Actress Kirstie Alley (January 12, 1951-December 5, 2022) earned plaudits for both comedy and drama, winning one Emmy for the hit sitcom "Cheers" (on which she starred for six seasons), and winning a second for her performance as the mother of an autistic child in the 1994 TV movie "David's Mother."
After dropping out of college in Kansas, Alley moved to Hollywood to work as an interior designer. She appeared on game shows as a contestant, on "Match Game" and "Password Plus." But she was hired, despite no professional experience and a faked résumé, to play Lt. Saavik, the half-Vulcan, half-Romulan protégé of Mr. Spock, in "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." She noted at a 2016 "Star Trek" convention panel in Las Vegas that, as a teenager, friends had made fun of her eyebrows' ability to arch: "I have no control over it," she said. "So, I would watch [the original 'Star Trek' series] and when Mr. Spock would come on, I would say, 'Wow, if I was ever an actress, I could play Spock's daughter.'"
Films that followed included "Runaway," "A Bunny's Tale" (as Gloria Steinem), "Summer School," and "Sibling Rivalry," before the hit comedy "Look Who's Talking," as a single working mom of a newborn baby (voiced by Bruce Willis). She followed with two sequels "Look Who's Talking Too," and "Look Who's Talking Now."
She also earned Emmy nominations for her sitcom "Veronica's Closet," and for the TV miniseries "The Last Don."
A spokesperson for Jenny Craig, Alley dealt with weight issues for years, even starring as a fictionalized version of herself in the Showtime comedy series "Fat Actress" (a show that drew laughs from the public treatment of her weight gain and loss), and appearing in the reality series "Kirstie Alley's Big Life" (which documented her attempts to lose weight). She said she agreed to the show because of misinformation about her in the tabloids: "Anything bad you can say about me, they say," Alley told the Associated Press. "I've never collapsed, fainted, passed out. Basically, anything they've said, I never. The only true thing is, I got fat."
Her later TV appearances included "Dancing With the Stars" (in which she finished in second place, in 2011), and, in early 2022, the competition series "The Masked Singer."
Bob McGrath
Bob McGrath (June 13, 1932-December 4, 2022) was a founding cast member of the landmark children's series "Sesame Street" when the show premiered in 1969. His last appearance on the show was in 2017 – a more than four-decade run as the friendly neighbor Bob Johnson.
McGrath's character, a music teacher, sang such songs as "People In Your Neighborhood," "Sing," "Morning Town Ride" and "See You Tomorrow."
A folk singer and music teacher who'd enjoyed professional success in Japan, the Illinois native was also a singer on the 1960s series "Sing Along With Mitch." He recalled in a 2004 interview for the Television Academy that he'd had no real experience as an actor (most of the cast did not), and was frustrated during his first year on "Sesame Street," not getting a fix on what his character, "Bob," should be. "And ultimately they said, 'You know, we don't really want you to be anybody, we just really want all of you folks to be yourself.' …
"It's interesting, we had special guests, they'd come on, and some of them were wonderful, wonderful actors and actresses playing all different variety of roles, but apparently they did not test out as well because the kids kind of really were able to see that they were kind of acting more than being themselves and being totally genuine with them on a one-on-one, eyeball-to-eyeball basis."
McGrath was let go after 45 seasons (along with Emilio Delgado and Roscoe Orman) when the show's first-run broadcast rights were moved from PBS to HBO. He told a Florida convention in 2016, "I'd be so greedy if I wanted five minutes more."
Gaylord Perry
Gaylord Perry (September 15, 1938-December 1, 2022) was the first pitcher to win the Cy Young Award in two leagues – first with the Cleveland Indians in 1972 (notching a 24-16 record); and then, after having just turned 40, with the San Diego Padres in 1978 (21-6). It was his fifth season having scored 20 or more wins.
A native of Williamston, North Carolina, Perry was drafted by the San Francisco Giants, and would pitch for eight major league teams over his 22-season career. A five-time All-Star, he posted a lifetime won-loss record of 314-255, with 3,534 strikeouts, and an ERA of 3.11.
Although he was only ejected from a game once for doctoring a baseball, in 1982, Perry had a reputation for using foreign substances. In his 1974 autobiography, "Me and the Spitter," he told of first throwing a spitball on May 31, 1964, when Perry, a reliever, pitched 10 innings in a marathon 23-inning game against the New York Mets; he did not give up a run, and was credited with the win. It also earned him a spot in the Giants' starting rotation.
He stopped throwing the pitch in 1968 after Major League Baseball ruled pitchers could no longer touch their fingers to their mouths before touching the baseball. (Vaseline and hair tonic became fallbacks.) But he also mimicked routines to make batters think he was applying a foreign substance, to fake them out.
The future Hall of Famer, for all his pitching prowess, was not a natural at the plate; Giants manager Alvin Dark once stated that a man would land on the moon before Perry would hit a home run. It was therefore fate that on June 20, 1969, shortly after the Apollo 11 lunar lander touched down on the Moon's surface, Perry hit his first (and only) home run, against Dodgers pitcher Claude Osteen.
Christine McVie
Vocalist, songwriter and keyboard player Christine McVie (July 12, 1943-November 30, 2022) made her mark in one of the most successful rock bands of the 1970s, '80s and '90s, Fleetwood Mac.
Christine Anne Perfect was born into a music family, and studied classical piano until she turned to rock, and joined the band Chicken Shack as a singer and piano player. After two albums with Chicken Shack, she released an eponymous solo album, in 1970, before joining Fleetwood Mac (she had in the meantime married Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie).
Fleetwood Mac would go on to sell more than 100 million records, despite lineup changes that suggested the band was on the outs. But McVie continued (as singer, musician and songwriter), contributing to 14 albums, including the No. 1 charting albums "Fleetwood Mac," "Rumours," "Mirage" and "The Dance." "Rumours" won the Grammy for Album of the Year in 1978.
McVie's songs for Fleetwood Mac included "Don't Stop," "Behind the Mask," "Everywhere," "Hold Me," "Oh Daddy," "Over My Head," "Save Me," "Little Lies," "You Make Loving Fun," and "Say You Love Me." And while her marriage to John McVie ended (as memorably documented in song in "Rumours"), the band endured.
In the late '90s, McVie left the group, released a solo album, "In the Meantime," and lived in semi-retirement. A fear of flying kept her in the U.K., but after psychotherapy helped her overcome her aerophobia, she flew to Maui and sat in with Mick Fleetwood's blues band. That led to her reteaming with Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and ex-husband John McVie for their 2014 tour. She also collaborated with Buckingham on a 2017 album, "Lindsey Buckingham Christine McVie."
Earlier this year, an anthology of her work, "Songbird," was released.
In 2014 she talked with "Sunday Morning" correspondent John Blackstone about rejoining Fleetwood Mac after such a long separation: "I thought it was gonna be a struggle, to be honest. I was a little anxious. … But the moment you find yourself playing with these fantastic musicians and friends, it just melted away. And now I feel completely comfortable, really, surprisingly so."
Irene Cara
She recorded a Spanish-language album for Gema Records, "Esta Es Irene," when she was nine years old. The singer-actress Irene Cara (March 18, 1959-November 25, 2022) would go on to win an Oscar, two Grammys and a Golden Globe for her music for "Fame" and "Flashdance."
Before her film success she appeared on Broadway in "Maggie Flynn," "The Me Nobody Knows," and "Got Tu Go Disco." She flew across the stage in the 1972 sci-fi musical "Via Galactica," which closed after seven performances, and was in the Public Theater's production of "Lotta, or The Best Thing Evolution's Ever Come Up With."
Cara appeared on TV in "The Electric Company," "Love of Life," "What's Happening!!," and "Roots: The Next Generation." She starred in "Aaron Loves Angela" (Gordon Parks Jr's update of "Romeo and Juliet"), and at age 13 was cast as the lead of "Sparkle," a 1976 musical about a girl group co-starring Lonette McKee.
In 1980's "Fame," Cara starred as Coco, a student attending New York's High School of Performing Arts. She performed the songs "Out Here on My Own," "Hot Lunch Jam," "I Sing the Body Electric," and the title tune, which became a Top 10 hit and an Oscar-winner for Best Original Song. She also earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Motion Picture/Comedy or Musical.
For the 1983 film "Flashdance," Cara co-wrote and performed the title track, "Flashdance ... What A Feeling," which sat on top of the Billboard charts for six weeks. She shared the Academy Award for Best Original Song with Giorgio Moroder and Keith Forsey.
She sang or composed songs for several features, from "D.C. Cab" to the animated "All Dogs Go to Heaven." For the Clint Eastwood/Burt Reynolds period comedy "City Heat," she recorded the George and Ira Gershwin ballad, "Embraceable You." Other albums included "Anyone Can See," "What a Feelin'," and "Carasmatic."
In the 1990s she toured as Mary Magdalene in "Jesus Christ Superstar."
Robert Clary
French-born actor-singer Robert Clary (March 1, 1926-November 16, 2022) was best-known for playing Cpl. Louis LeBeau, part of a cohort of Allied prisoners of war engaging in sabotage under the noses of their Nazi captors, in the 1960s comedy "Hogan's Heroes."
In 1965, when the show's pilot was being shot, Clary was offered the part of LeBeau without even having to audition. Though controversial, the show ran on CBS for six seasons.
In 1985 a documentary, "Robert Clary, A5714: A Memoir of Liberation," told of his life and his ordeal in concentration camps. The youngest of 14 children, Clary (born Robert Widerman) was 16 when he and his family were forced from their Paris apartment into a crowded cattle car, transporting them to concentration camps. [A5714 referred to the identification number tattooed on his arm.] His parents and 10 siblings were killed under the Nazis, he said.
He credited his youth and ability to work for keeping him alive for 31 months, until he was freed when American troops liberated the Buchenwald death camp.
Returning to Paris and reunited with his two sisters, Clary worked as a singer and recording artist. He moved to the States in 1949, appearing in musicals (including "New Faces of 1952," "Irma La Douce" and "Cabaret"), TV ("Days of Our Lives" and "The Bold and the Beautiful"), and films ("The Hindenburg"). He also recorded jazz versions of songs by Ira Gershwin and Stephen Sondheim.
In 1997, he was one of dozens of Holocaust survivors whose stories were told in "The Triumphant Spirit." In an interview that year he said, "I beg the next generation not to do what people have done for centuries - hate others because of their skin, shape of their eyes, or religious preference."
In an Associated Press interview he criticized Holocaust deniers, "making a mockery of the 6 million Jews - including a million and a half children - who died in the gas chambers and ovens." He also published a memoir, "From the Holocaust to Hogan's Heroes: The Autobiography of Robert Clary," in 2001.
In a 2018 interview with the Television Academy Foundation about his experience on "Hogan's Heroes," he said he had no trepidation about appearing in the prison camp comedy given his personal history. "No, because it had nothing to do with my past. I was never a soldier. I was never a prisoner of war. I was sent to a concentration camp and lucky I survived, which is completely different. We were not human beings. The only reason we lived [was] because they needed us to work in their factories. Otherwise they would have killed us all.
"And, it was acting!"
Aaron Carter
Singer, rapper and actor Aaron Carter (December 7, 1987-November 5, 2022) began performing as a child, and at age nine released his first, eponymous album. It went gold, and was followed by three more albums during his teen years, including the triple-platinum "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" (2000). His hits included "Crush on You," "Crazy Little Party Girl," and "I Want Candy."
His fifth and final album was "LOVE" (2018).
The younger brother of Nick Carter (of Backstreet Boys), Aaron performed as an opening act for his brother's group, and for Britney Spears. He also appeared as an actor in "Lizzie McGuire," "Family Affair," "Popstar" and "Supercross," and in the musical "Seussical" on Broadway. He finished in fifth place on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2009.
Jerry Lee Lewis
In 1957 two songs by "The Killer," Jerry Lee Lewis (September 29, 1935-October 28, 2022), burned up the airwaves, becoming Top 10 hits: "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On" and "Great Balls of Fire," songs that showcased the Louisiana-born piano player's outrageous talent and energy – a force of nature inspired by sneaking into Black juke joints, and honed by his experience playing rockabilly, boogie-woogie and gospel.
But in 1958 Lewis' career suffered from the scandal of marrying his second-cousin, Myra Gale Brown (who was 13 at the time), while he was still married to the second of his seven wives. His European tour was canceled, and he was blacklisted from the radio.
Lewis then reinvented himself as a country artist, in the 1960s, with such hits as "Another Place, Another Time," "She Still Comes Around (to Love What's Left of Me)," "She Even Woke Me Up to Say Goodbye," "There Must Be More to Love Than This" and "Would You Take Another Chance on Me."
In 1986, Lewis was among the inaugural class of inductees for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
In 2006, in his 70s, Lewis' longevity was marked by the release of "Last Man Standing," an album of duets featuring such stars as Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, B.B. King, George Jones, Chuck Berry and Neil Young. Four years later he recorded another album of duets, "Mean Old Man," this time paired with Willie Nelson, Mavis Staples, Tim McGraw, Keith Richards and Sheryl Crow.
In 2015's bestseller "Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story," he described to biographer Rick Bragg the importance, to him, of being a rock 'n' roll star: "The show, that's what counts. It covers up everything. Any bad thought anyone ever had about you goes away. 'Is that the one that married that girl? Well, forget about it, let me hear that song.' It takes their sorrow, and it takes mine."
Julie Powell
"My husband almost divorced me last night and it was all because of sauce tartar."
In 2002 Julie Powell (April 20, 1973-October 26, 2022), a secretary and frustrated writer who was finding no success after moving to New York City, made it her mission to prepare every single recipe in Julia Child's classic 1961 cookbook, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," over the course of a single year – cooking, chopping and stirring late into the night, making 11 to 12 dishes a week.
The amateur cook talked to "CBS Evening News" in 2003 about her culinary journey: "Even though I am making myself crazy, it has introduced some sanity into my life," she said.
Her husband Eric said there'd only been one real culinary disaster: the aspics. "All the aspics were just horrible," he said.
Her blog, the Julie/Julia Project, was a hit, earning her an agent and a book deal. "Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen," published in 2005, inspired the 2009 film, "Julie & Julia," which starred Amy Adams as Powell and Meryl Streep as Child.
The film was a success, but when Powell had written to Child about her cooking project, the response she received was underwhelming. It didn't matter, she told CBS News in 2009: "Her disinterest didn't change how I felt about her. I don't love Julia Child because she loves me; I love her because she inspired me to change my life. ... I know how I feel about Julia, and that's what matters."
Her favorite of Child's 524 recipes? Braised Cucumbers. "I'm so glad they made it into the movie, because I think they're a revelation!" Powell said.
Pierre Soulages
French abstract artist Pierre Soulages (December 24, 1919-October 26, 2022) became known as the "Master of Black," for bringing the mystery of darkness into the light. His paintings – big, bold, and overwhelmingly black – have commanded attention since he made a name for himself in 1950s New York, then emerging as the center of the modern art world.
Back then, like American avant-garde artists Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Soulages experimented with challenging abstract forms. He even used color. Then, one morning in 1979, when he and his wife Colette were living in Paris, he noticed how reflections transformed the surface of black paint. He'd found his medium, and began to experiment with sculpting black paint on the canvas.
When asked by "CBS Sunday Morning" in 2020, on the occasion of his 100th birthday, why black still moved him, Soulages replied, "Because its possibilities are limitless. I say black, but actually it's light that's key. When I add black paint to a canvas, light reflects uniquely off the scar. That's what my work is all about. I paint with light."
Leslie Jordan
"Give me a good pandemic and I flourish," said comic actor Leslie Jordan (April 29, 1955-October 24, 2022). In 2022 he told "CBS Mornings" about adjusting to lockdown after staying with his mom in Tennessee. "I had a lot of time on my hands. And I started posting on Instagram. And I did two posts a day, I think, for 80 days. And I would always start it with, 'Well, how y'all doing?'"
He'd get more than a million hits a day. Its success amazed even him: "I didn't try to sell anybody anything. I just talked about what are y'all doing? Here's what I'm doing. I cut my hair because I couldn't get to the barbershop.
"I have people come up to me and say, 'You got me through that. I'm stuck at home with my kids, I thought I was going nuts, And I would look forward to just a minute or two with you every day.' And I think that's what comedy's about."
Beginning at age 19, the 4'11" Jordan exercised racehorses. Put off by the travel involved, he enrolled in journalism classes at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he also signed up for a theater elective. "It just hit me like a drug," he said.
After graduating, he headed to California, and got steady work in commercials. ("I was the elevator operator to Hamburger Hell for Taco Bell"), and eventually got acting roles in such TV series as "The Fall Guy," "Night Court," "Murphy Brown," "The People Next Door," "Pee-Wee's Playhouse," "Top of the Heap," "Reasonable Doubts," "Hearts Afire," "Caroline in the City," "Ally McBeal," "Boston Public," "Boston Legal," "American Horror Story," "The Cool Kids," and "Call Me Kat." Film roles included "The Help" and "The United States vs. Billie Holiday,"
His best-known character was Beverly Leslie in "Will & Grace," a recurring role for which he won an Emmy in 2006.
In the 1990s he wrote and starred in a stage musical, the semi-autobiographical "Hysterical Blindness and Other Southern Tragedies That Have Plagued My Life Thus Far." In 2008 he published a memoir, "My Trip Down the Pink Carpet," his take on Hollywood, fame, addiction and gay culture.
After blowing up his Instagram account during COVID, his career took a different turn when he released a gospel album called "Company's Comin'," featuring Dolly Parton, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton, Eddie Vedder and Tanya Tucker.
He recently wrote his second book, "How Y'all Doing?: Misadventures and Mischief from a Life Well Lived."
Robbie Coltrane
Born Anthony Robert McMillan, Robbie Coltrane (March 30, 1950-October 14, 2022) was in his early 20s when he began pursuing an acting career, renaming himself in honor of jazz musician John Coltrane.
The Scottish comedian and character actor's early film credits included the musical "Absolute Beginners," the drama "Mona Lisa," and the caper "Nuns on the Run." He played Falstaff in the Kenneth Branagh-directed "Henry V," the Pope in the comedy "The Pope Must Diet," and a Russian crime boss in the James Bond films "GoldenEye" and "The World is Not Enough."
Coltrane broke through as hard-bitten criminal psychologist Dr. Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald in the 1990s British TV series "Cracker," for which he won the best actor BAFTRA Award three years in a row.
He was beloved by a generation as the half-giant Rubeus Hagrid, the mentor of young wizard Harry Potter, in all eight Potter films. He was the first actor to be cast for the original movie – hand-picked by author J.K., Rowling – and in 2002 told the Christian Science Monitor that he knew the story well. "I'd read it to my young son, Spencer," he said. "I did all the accents, even inventing a few of my own, when reading it, and must say I felt a certain kindred to Hagrid."
The inspiration for his performance, he told The Daily Record in 2006, was an imposing, burly biker he'd once met, who'd entered a bar and complained about his petunias. "He was a gardener, but he had fists like hams. He had a gentle heart."
To play Hagrid, the 6'1" Coltrane wore boots that made him at least seven inches taller, underwent an hour-and-a-half of makeup, and wore a costume that weighed 65 pounds.
In an interview last January for an HBO Harry Potter reunion special, Coltrane said, "The legacy of the movies is that my children's generation will show them to their children. So, you could be watching it in 50 years' time, easily ... I'll not be here, sadly, but Hagrid will, yes."
Bruce Sutter
Six-time All-Star relief pitcher Bruce Sutter (January 8, 1953-October 13, 2022) was pitching for the Chicago Cubs' farm team in 1972 when he hurt his right elbow trying to learn a slider. Afraid he would be cut if the Cubs knew he'd been injured, Sutter hid the injury, and paid for the surgery on his pinched nerve himself. At spring training the following year, with the speed of his pitches off, he learned the split-fingered fastball from the Cubs' minor league pitching instructor Fred Martin.
The pitch (the ball is held between the index and middle fingers, and as it approaches the plate suddenly dips) wasn't being successfully thrown. "It came to me easy, but it took a long time to learn how to control it," Sutter once said. "I could throw pretty hard. I might strike out 16 guys, but I might walk 10. I mean, I was wild."
Sutter entered the majors with the Cubs in 1976. Three years later he won the National League Cy Young Award, with 37 saves, 2.22 ERA and 110 strikeouts.
In a 1979 Sports Illustrated interview veteran batter Lou Brock had this assessment of Sutter's split-fingered fastball: "You'd figure that if a guy stayed around long enough, he'd learn how to hit it. But no one has."
During his 12-year career Sutter led the National League in saves for five years, posting 300 saves with the Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals (he finished off the Cards' Game 7 win over Milwaukee in the 1982 World Series), and Atlanta Braves. In 661 games, he pitched 1,042 innings and struck out 861, with a career ERA of 2.83.
In 2006 Sutter became only the fourth reliever to be inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame – and the first pitcher to reach Cooperstown without ever having started a game.
Angela Lansbury
Born in London to an Irish actress and an English timber merchant, Angela Lansbury (October 16, 1925-October 11, 2022) was forced at a young age to become self-reliant after the death of her father. She was sent by her mother to drama school, first in London, then, after the Blitz, to New York and, ultimately, Hollywood.
By 17, she was in her first film, as the flirtatious, cockney maid in the 1944 classic, "Gaslight." Director George Cukor was "appalled" that a woman her age could pull off playing such a convincing seductress. '[You'd think] I'd been around the block, as they say," Lansbury told "CBS Sunday Morning" in 2009. "I hadn't, you know. I really hadn't!"
But playing characters beyond her years would become the story of Lansbury's life. Despite back-to-back Oscar nominations (for "Gaslight" and "The Picture of Dorian Gray"), she spent her twenties and thirties typecast in older, more maternal roles – as an adulterous mother in "The World of Henry Orient"; Elvis Presley's mom in "Blue Hawaii" (despite being only nine years older than the singer); and Laurence Harvey's scheming mom in "The Manchurian Candidate," nabbing her third Oscar nomination for the political thriller in which she gives her son advice only a loving mother could give: "You are to shoot the presidential nominee through the head." She even had her hair streaked gray, at age 23, to play a newspaper publisher in her 40s in "State of the Union."
Unsatisfied with Hollywood's lack of imagination, Lansbury packed her bags for the New York stage. "I felt liberated the minute I came to Broadway. Those years at MGM, I hadn't really been judged as an actress until I made it on Broadway."
After roles in "Hotel Paradiso," "A Taste of Honey" and "Anyone Can Whistle," she hit pay dirt with the musical "Mame" (1966), winning the first of five Tony Awards. [Her others were for "Dear World" (1969); "Gypsy" (1975); "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" (1979), playing the meat pie maker Mrs. Lovett; and a 2009 revival of Noel Coward's "Blithe Spirit."]
After playing Agatha Christie's Miss Marple in a film adaptation of "The Mirror Crack'd," and one of the murder suspects in "Death on the Nile," Lansbury found her greatest fame on "Murder, She Wrote" as mystery writer and amateur sleuth Jessica Fletcher. For twelve seasons (and in four subsequent movies-for-TV), she made an older female character – often invisible in media – a pop culture role model. She received 12 Emmy nominations for the series.
She was a role model of a very different sort as the voice of the teapot Mrs. Potts in the animated Disney musical, "Beauty and the Beast."
Lansbury later became a spokesperson for the ALS Association. (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis had claimed the life of her sister, Isolde.)
In 2014 she was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II, honored for her acting career and charity work.
And she would continue working, on stage (she earned additional Tony nominations for the play "Deuce" and the Stephen Sondheim musical "A Little Night Music," as well as a lifetime achievement Tony in 2022) and in films ("Nanny McPhee," "Mr. Popper's Penguins," "Mary Poppins Returns," and, as herself, in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery").
"The bottom line is, I really don't know how to relax to the degree that I could just stop," Lansbury told "Sunday Morning." "So, when something comes along and is presented to me, and I think, 'Gee, I could have some fun doing that,' or 'I think I could bring something to that,' I'll do it.
"I mean, there are times when you walk into that dressing room and you think, 'I can't do this. I cannot do this.' And it's a curious thing: When you sit down in front of that mirror and you pick up that first piece of makeup and you start to apply it … suddenly, you transform yourself into that person who is capable of going on stage and delivering that performance. And you do it, and yes, you can!"
Loretta Lynn
If you want to know the story of Loretta Lynn (April 14, 1932-October 4, 2022), listen to her songs. The country legend sang about a life of hardship, poverty, and her husband's infidelity – stories like "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl," "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)," "You Ain't Woman Enough," "What Makes Me Tick," and "Coal Miner's Daughter," whose title became the name of her bestselling 1976 autobiography.
"It's whatever I was going through at the time, and whatever I was thinking about at the time," Lynn told "Sunday Morning" in 2010.
And even as she rose to become a legend of American music – a three-time Grammy-winner, with 30 Top 10 country albums, and the first woman to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year Award, in 1972 – she never forgot her roots, as the second of eight children of a coal miner in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky. "I ain't about to be nobody else. I'm just me. And if I was trying to be somebody else, I'd have never made it, either," she said.
When she was just 13, Loretta met 21-year-old Oliver Lynn, known as Doo. They married one month later. Lynn would have four children by the time she was 18. "I'd rock them to sleep. That's where Doo found out I could sing," she said. So, Doo bought her a guitar. Lynn taught herself to play, and began writing her own songs. Her kids were her audience. "I'd stand them up in a row: Betty, Jack, Ernest, and Cissie, 'Stand right there and tell mommy what you think of her singing.' 'Oh, you sound pretty, mommy.'"
Doo arranged for Loretta to record her song "Honky Tonk Girl," and they hit the road to promote it. Lynn became an overnight success. But as she spent nights on the road in her tour bus, Doo stayed home drinking, womanizing, and hiring housekeepers to raise their now-six children. Their marriage lasted 48 years, until Doo's death in 1996. But as she told "48 Hours" in 2002, the two were regular sparring partners: "I've never written a song that my husband wasn't in – every song I wrote – but he didn't know which line he was in."
She stayed, she said, because she loved him: "I didn't need him, but he was my kids' daddy. Why leave hearts laying on the floor for me? … He broke my heart lots of time, but that would have broke the kids' hearts, wouldn't it?"
And she got some evocative songs out of it, like the #1 country hit "Fist City":
Come on and tell me what you told my friends
If you think you're brave enough
And I'll show you what a real woman is
Since you think you're hot stuff
You'll bite off more than you can chew
If you get too cute or witty
You better move your feet
If you don't wanna eat
A meal that's called fist city
Roger Welsch
A humorist, storyteller and activist for Native Americans, Roger Welsch (November 6, 1936-September 30, 2022) was a longtime contributor to "CBS Sunday Morning" with his witty "Postcard from Nebraska" segments in the 1980s and '90s.
Clad in his familiar overalls, Welsch told stories from his beloved state, including his hometown of Dannebrog, so small, he noted, the town square only has three sides.
Welsch's segments developed after Charles Kuralt featured him in an "On the Road" segment about the Nebraskan's 1970s campaign for the Lancaster County Weed Control Authority, running on a "pro-weed" platform. Not marijuana, weeds – edible wild plants that were being sprayed with pesticides. His slogan: "If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em," He won.
Welsch wrote dozens of books, penned newspaper columns, and proudly admitted to having founded the National Liars Hall of Fame, claiming nearly two million visitors a year in tiny Dannebrog.
He also worked to reform the Nebraska State Historical Society after they refused to repatriate human remains of native peoples to the Pawnee Nation. In addition to the nickname "Captain Nebraska," Welsch also went by the names afforded him by indigenous tribes: Tenugahai "Bull Buffalo Chief" by the Omaha Tribe, Panitaka "White Wolfhite Pawnee" by the Pawnee Tribe, and Heyoka ta Pejuta "His Medicine is Contrary" by the Oglala Sioux.
Coolio
Born Artis Leon Ivey Jr., the rapper Coolio (August 1, 1963-September 28, 2022) garnered fame in the 1990s with such hits as "Gangsta's Paradise" (winner of the Grammy for best solo rap performance) and "Fantastic Voyage."
Raised in California, he began rapping at 15. He went to community college and worked as a volunteer firefighter and in airport security before devoting himself full-time to hip-hop.
He collaborated with WC and the Maad Circle, before releasing his debut album on Tommy Boy Records in 1994, "It Takes a Thief." The track "Fantastic Voyage" reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The following year, "Gangsta's Paradise" hit No. 1.
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's not much left
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long, that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
Later hits included "1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin' New)" and "C U When U Get There."
Collio aimed to rise above the feud that arose between east and west coast hip-hop factions. "I'd like to claim this Grammy on behalf of the whole hip-hop nation, West Coast, East Coast, and worldwide, united we stand, divided we fall," he said from the stage as he accepted the award in 1996.
But he engaged in a kind of feud with Weird Al Yankovic, who parodied "Gangsta's Paradise" with his hit, "Amish Paradise" ("As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain, I take a look at my wife and realize she's very plain"). Though Coolio voiced his upset at the time, it was later attributed to a "misunderstanding."
"I have to say, that was probably one of the least smart things I've done over the years," he later told Rolling Stone. "I should have never been upset about that; I should have embraced it like everybody else did. Michael Jackson never got mad at him; Prince never got mad at him. Who the f*** was I to take the position that I took? It was actually years later before I realized how stupid that was of me [laughs]. But hey, you live and you learn."
Bill Plante
CBS News correspondent Bill Plante (January 14, 1938-September 28, 2022) was one of the longest-serving White House broadcast journalists in history. During his more than half-century with CBS News, Plante covered the civil rights movement (the "Mississippi Burning" murders in 1964, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, in March 1965), and served four tours in Vietnam. (He reported from Saigon during its fall.)
He began his broadcasting career in 1956 at Chicago area radio stations, reading news and playing classical music. He then landed a job as assistant news director at the CBS affiliate in Milwaukee, before beginning a CBS Fellowship at Columbia University in New York. In his audition reel, his goals foreshadowed his long, varied career: "Politics, general assignment, writing, editing, reporting, air work, you name it, I'd like to do it," he said.
He was named a CBS News correspondent in 1966, assigned to the Chicago bureau, where he covered riots, strikes, campus unrest, and the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. His overseas reporting includes stories on the war between India and Pakistan over Bangladesh, and conflict in Northern Ireland.
Plante also covered 13 presidential elections, and joined CBS News' Washington bureau in December 1976. In addition to senior White House correspondent, Plante was also, from 1988 to 1995, the anchor of the "CBS Sunday Night News." He won several Emmy Awards, including for his reports on the 1997 death of Princess Diana; the 1986 Reagan-Gorbachev summit; and Reagan's 1984 reelection campaign.
One of Washington's most knowledgeable wine aficionados, Plante became known as the White House press corps' sommelier. He reported on wine occasionally for the "CBS Early Show" and "CBS Sunday Morning."
At his retirement in 2016, Plante said, "Fifty years plus, I have had a wonderful window, a closeup, on the human condition, telling the stories of civil rights and of the wastes of war and the politics of power. Through it all, you come to see how human nature is universal. People continue to behave in both altruistic and destructive ways. So that's why what we do continues to be so important."
Louise Fletcher
In the 1960s actress Louise Fletcher (July 22, 1934-September 23, 2022), who'd gotten work on TV series like "The Untouchables," "77 Sunset Strip," and "Wagon Train," put her career on hold to raise her two children. She came back in the '70s and, after a notable turn in Robert Altman's "Thieves Like Us," was chosen to star opposite Jack Nicholson in the tragi-comedy "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
Fletcher played the cruel and calculating Nurse Ratched, who rules over the mental institution to which Nicholson's Randle McMurphy is sent for evaluation. She engages in a cruel and violent battle of wills with McMurphy, and the other inmates, exerting her authority against his rebelliousness. Her performance – a rigid imperiousness coated with a frightening serenity – made her a villainess for the ages.
In a 2004 interview Fletcher said she was the last actress considered for the role: "It wasn't until we were halfway through shooting that I realized the part had been offered to other actresses who didn't want to appear so horrible on the screen."
"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" became only the second film ever to win Academy Awards for best picture, best director, best actor, best actress and best screenplay.
At the 1976 ceremony, Fletcher accepted her Oscar and thanked her deaf parents in Birmingham, Alabama, using sign language: "I want to thank you for teaching me to have a dream. You are seeing my dream come true."
Fletcher was later nominated for two Emmy Awards, for guest appearances on "Picket Fences" and "Joan of Arcadia." Other TV credits included "The Karen Carpenter Story." "The Boys of Twilight," "ER," "Shameless," and a recurring role on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
Her films included "Exorcist II: The Heretic," "The Cheap Detective," "The Magician of Lublin," "Strange Behavior," "Strange Invaders," "Brainstorm," "Firestarter," "Invaders from Mars," "The Boy Who Could Fly," "Blue Steel," "Cruel Intentions," and "A Perfect Man."
Hilary Mantel
Novelist Hilary Mantel (July 6, 1952-September 22, 2022) won the first of her two Booker Prizes for "Wolf Hall," a bloody 16th-century political drama featuring Thomas Cromwell and King Henry VIII. Translated to the stage and television, it launched a trilogy of books about Tudor intrigue that included "Bring Up the Bodies" (which also won the Booker Prize) and "The Mirror and the Light."
Mantel's first novel, 1985's "Every Day Is Mother's Day," drew on her experience working as a social worker in a geriatric hospital. She returned to the characters with "Vacant Possession." She would regularly publish for nearly 25 years, earning critical praise but only modest commercial success, with such books as "Eight Months on Ghazzah Street" (inspired by her move with her geologist husband to Saudi Arabia), "Fludd," "A Place of Greater Safety" (about the French Revolution), "A Change of Climate" (about missionaries in Africa), "An Experiment in Love," "The Giant," and "Beyond Black" (about a psychic medium). She also published short story collections and a memoir, "Giving Up the Ghost."
After a quarter-century, Mantel broke out with "Wolf Hall."
In a 2020 interview with the Guardian, Mantel reflected on the appeal of writing historical fiction, or of figures long gone: "I do have the sense of it being a very proximate world," she said. "And sometimes the barrier seems like an enormous stone wall, and sometimes it's just whisper thin. But you can be misunderstood in talking about it. Because none of it can be literal. It's all just a series of metaphors."
Irene Papas
Greek actress and recording artist Irene Papas (September 3, 1929-September 14, 2022) became an international star with her roles in the films "The Guns of Navarone" and "Zorba the Greek."
She appeared in more than 80 movies and TV programs, from classical tragedies ("Antigone," "Electra," "The Trojan Women," "Iphigenia") to Walt Disney family fare ("The Moon Spinners"). Among her films were "Tribute to a Bad Man," The Brotherhood," "Z," "Anne of the Thousand Days," "Christ Stopped at Eboli," "Mohammad, Messenger of God," "Chronicle of a Death Foretold," "Lion of the Desert," "Captain Corelli's Mandolin," and the miniseries "Moses the Lawgiver."
Of her stage work she was particularly celebrated for Greek tragedies, appearing on Broadway in "Medea" and "The Bacchae."
Her recordings included collaborations with Mikis Theodorakis, Aphrodite's Child, and one of that band's founding members, Vangelis.
In 1992, starring in a production of "Medea" in Barcelona, Papas evoked the mystery of acting: "I don't know if I am living memory, or a ghost that encourages."
Jean-Luc Godard
French-Swiss filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard (December 3, 1930-September 13, 2022) was a lightning rod for film fans and critics since his emergence as a founding member of the French New Wave movement. The director of such classics as "Breathless" and "Weekend," and the recipient (though begrudgingly) of an Honorary Oscar from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Godard's narrative tricks and his weaving of personal observations into his films would inspire younger generations of filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese, Brian de Palma and Quentin Tarantino.
A contributor to the French film journal Cahiers du Cinema in the 1950s, Godard and several like-minded film buffs began making their own films, founding what came to be known as the French New Wave (Nouvelle Vogue) – works that reinvigorated staid, traditional forms of motion picture storytelling and eschewed the artifice of Hollywood. A fan of such giants as Alfred Hitchcock, Godard was an advocate of the "auteur" theory behind filmmaking, in which a single vision (usually the director's) aimed all facets of filmmaking through their personal lens.
After making a documentary and several shorts, Godard directed his first feature, "Breathless (A Bout de Souffle)" (1960), a brisk, dark comedy shot on the streets with a handheld camera, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo as a petty thief and Jean Seberg as an American ex-pat. It was a hybrid of Continental and Hollywood styles that paid homage to Godard's hero Howard Hawks, while also reveling in an untethered narrative. The film became an international success – a breath of fresh cinematic air – and began a string of Godard movies that were more blatantly political, and more esoteric, than those of his contemporaries. As critic Roger Ebert noted, "Godard depends on us to do the heavy lifting."
Typically shunning traditional forms of editing, composition and music, Godard would regularly break the fourth wall, using stylized dialogue and off-handed delivery, suggesting the actors were self-consciously aware of being in a film, watched by an audience. He experimented with video editing, sound editing, 3-D, and smearing colors.
"In my opinion the cinema should be more poetic," Godard told Cahiers du Cinema in 1965. "Two or three years ago I felt that everything had been done [in film]. 'Ivan the Terrible' had been made, and 'Our Daily Bread.' Make films about people, they said; but 'The Crowd' had already been made, so why remake it? I was, in a word, pessimistic. After '[Pierrot le Fou],' I no longer feel this. Yes, one must film, talk about, everything. Everything remains to be done."
Godard would direct more than 125 features, documentaries, shorts, and TV series, including the miniseries "History of Cinema." Credits include "Contempt," with Brigitte Bardot; several starring his then-wife, Anna Karina, such as "A Woman Is a Woman," "Vivre Sa Vie," "Le Petit Soldat," "Alphaville" (a sci-fi homage to film noir detective films), "Pierrot le Fou," "Band of Outsiders," and "Made in U.S.A."; "Masculin Féminin"; "2 or 3 Things I Know About Her," "La Chinoise"; "Weekend"; "Tout Va Bien," with Jane Fonda and Yves Montand; "Every Man for Himself" and "Passion," with Isabelle Huppert; "First Name: Carmen"; "Hail Mary"; "Detective"; "King Lear," featuring himself, Norman Mailer and Woody Allen; "Film Socialisme"; "Goodbye to Language"; and "The Image Book."
In a 2002 poll of critics by the British Film Institute for Sight + Sound, Godard ranked #3 on the list of Top 10 Directors (behind Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock), but he did not fare as well among his peers — his name did not appear when the BFI polled directors on their choices for Top Ten.
For "Sympathy for the Devil" (a documentary depicting American counterculture and revolutionary movements like the Black Panthers, interwoven with film taken of the Rolling Stones recording in the studio), the producer re-edited Godard's version, leaving the director so incensed he punched the producer in the nose in front of a London audience.
Godard's reputation as an enfant terrible was not limited to what appeared on screen. In his early days he was something of a kleptomaniac with his family and colleagues; and when fellow filmmaker and longtime friend Agnes Varda visited his home in Rolle, Switzerland, while filming her 2017 documentary "Faces Places," Godard refused even to come to the door. Hurt, Varda left a note on his window glass ("No thanks for your bad hospitality"), but, she admitted, "I drew a heart anyway."
Queen Elizabeth II
Since ascending to the throne in 1952 at the age of 25, Queen Elizabeth II (April 21, 1926-September 8, 2022) was Great Britain's longest-reigning monarch, her rule marking years of change in the U.K. and throughout the British Empire following World War II. Her endurance as a stoic symbol of heritage and tradition, even as her country underwent enormous social upheavals, made her the most significant figure in British culture, a huge unifying symbol across generations, and a beloved matriarch far beyond the Empire's shifting boundaries.
The eldest daughter of George VI (who'd become king following the abdication of his older brother, Edward VIII), Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor worked to raise her country's morale during wartime, and volunteered as a mechanic in the women's auxiliary service. She married Philip Mountbatten, a member of the Greek royal family, and gave birth to four children — Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward.
After her father's death, Elizabeth's sense of duty became her primary image to the world. "I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service," she told the nation.
But the course of the British monarchy over the past seven decades would be a rocky one. In contrast to her steadfast union with Prince Philip, the marriages of her sister Margaret, her daughter Anne, and her sons Charles and Andrew all ended in divorces. The queen's lowest point was the death in 1997 of Princess Diana, following her tabloid-fodder separation from Charles, when the monarch's reputation for being unflappable stood in stark contrast to the public's very demonstrative show of emotion and grief.
After days of public silence, Elizabeth addressed the nation on television: "What I say to you now, as your Queen and as a grandmother, I say from my heart. First, I want to pay tribute to Diana myself. She was an exceptional and gifted human being. In good times and bad, she never lost her capacity to smile and laugh, nor to inspire others with her warmth and kindness. I admired and respected her — for her energy and commitment to others, and especially for her devotion to her two boys."
During Diana's funeral procession, the queen offered a bow to her coffin — a notably significant departure from royal protocol.
The queen would make gradual accommodations to the times and to the changing expectations of a less-deferential British public, for example agreeing to pay taxes on her income after complaints about the costs of repairing a fire-damaged Windsor Castle. She also helped guide the maturation of her grandchildren, Prince William and Prince Harry, after Diana's death.
When Prince Charles remarried Camilla Parker Bowles, the queen hosted the reception, and in time made her preference known that once Charles succeeded her as king, Camilla should be honored with the title Queen Consort.
Bernard Shaw
Bernard Shaw (May 22, 1940-September 7, 2022), who became the first anchor of the fledgling CNN upon its launch in 1980, would cover such stories as the assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan, student demonstrations in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, the first Gulf War in 1991, and the 2000 presidential election.
Born in Chicago, Shaw was a U.S. Marine in Hawaii in 1961, when he managed to secure a meeting with one of his journalistic heroes, Walter Cronkite, who later described Shaw to the Washington Post as "the most persistent guy I've ever met in my life … I was going to give him five begrudging minutes, and ended up talking to him for a half-hour. He was just determined to be a journalist."
Shaw got a radio job as a reporter in Chicago, where he interviewed Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He worked as a political reporter at CBS during the Watergate years, and was later ABC's Latin America correspondent and bureau chief. He was one of the first reporters on the scene of the 1978 Jonestown massacre in Guyana.
At CNN, the first 24-hour news channel, Shaw anchored the network's on-the-scene reporting from Baghdad as airstrikes marked the beginning of the U.S. invasion to liberate Kuwait.
"In all of the years of preparing to being anchor, one of the things I strove for was to be able to control my emotions in the midst of hell breaking out," Shaw told NPR in 2014. "And I personally feel that I passed my stringent test for that in Baghdad."
In 1988 Shaw was the first African American to moderate a presidential debate. When Shaw asked Democrat Michael Dukakis – who opposed the death penalty – whether he would condone capital punishment if his own wife had been raped and killed, Dukakis' cool, legalistic response was deemed fatally damaging to his candidacy. Shaw himself was criticized for even asking it.
"Since when did a question hurt a politician?" Shaw said in a 2001 CSPAN interview. "It wasn't the question. It was the answer."
Peter Straub
Bestselling horror writer and poet Peter Straub (March 2, 1943-September 4, 2022) was best known for his lyrical novels that helped revive the supernatural genre, namely "Ghost Story" and "Julia," and for his collaborations with Stephen King: "The Talisman" and its sequel, "Black House."
A Milwaukee native, Straub almost died when he was hit by a car at age seven. He told Salon in 2016, "It took me a long time to see this, but of course it kind of darkened my view of life in general. It meant that I was way more open to fear than any child ought to be, and that I knew more about fear and its first cousin terror, and pain, than children are normally expected to know. And it meant that I was kind of pushed forward into an emotional understanding that I wasn't quite prepared for.
"It was very, very complex. I had nightmares; my behavior suffered. I darkened in character; I was less amenable, less friendly. I was way less a child than I had been beforehand. It took me a long time to understand the consequences of that single event. Once I did understand the consequences then I was far more able to deal with them. It meant also that I had that material available for conscious thematic use."
Straub taught at a private school before moving with his wife to Ireland, where he studied for his doctorate. Instead of a dissertation, though, he wrote a novel, "Marriages." But after publishing poetry, he tried for more commercial success by writing about the supernatural (given the popularity of "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Exorcist"). "Julia," about a mother whose child had died and is haunted by the ghost of another, was a success, and was turned into a film starring Mia Farrow, "The Haunting of Julia."
Straub continued writing about fantasy, horror, murder and the supernatural, with "If You Could See Me Now," "Ghost Story" (which became a 1981 film with John Houseman and Fred Astaire), "Shadowland," "Floating Dragon," "Koko," "Mystery," "The Throat," "The Hellfire Club," "Mr. X," "Lost Boy, Lost Girl," "In the Night Room," and "Dark Matter." He also published several novellas and short story collections. (Neil Gaiman once likened Straub's short fiction to "tiny novels you drown in.") He also edited the Library of America's volume of H.P. Lovecraft tales.
In 1998 he told Locus Magazine, "A recent novella I wrote for 'Murder For Revenge,' an Otto Penzler anthology, 'Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff', is based very loosely on 'Bartleby the Scrivener' by Melville. I reread 'Bartleby' when it came out in one of those 'Penguin 60s' that also included my 'Blue Rose', and to say I was impressed and moved is drastically to understate. I thought it was one of the most beautiful, most profound things I'd ever read. It also addressed and spoke to an interest of mine which could loosely be called 'indeterminacy.' That is, what you know to be part of the greatness of 'Bartleby' is that it's very difficult to describe in any terms but its own. You cannot reduce it to an equation. You cannot extract a comforting little moral from it. It's hard to say exactly what it means, but it is completely profound."
Barbara Ehrenreich
A prolific writer of articles for The Nation, The New York Times, Harper's, Vogue and others, activist Barbara Ehrenreich (August 26, 1941-September 1, 2022) was a teacher and researcher (she received a Ph.D. from Rockefeller University). She became more involved in the feminist movement following the birth of her daughter, Rosa, she explained, as she was appalled by her hospital's treatment of patients.
She authored or co-authored 23 books, her most famous being 2001's "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America," in which she recounted taking on minimum-wage jobs (such as a hotel maid, waitress, cleaning woman, and Wal-Mart sales clerk), and moving into cheap lodging, to find out firsthand about the lives and struggles of the working poor – people she dubbed "the major philanthropists of our society."
She wrote, "They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else."
Other books included "Long March, Short Spring: The Student Uprising at Home and Abroad" (written with her then-husband, John Ehrenreich); "Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class"; "The Worst Years of Our Lives: Irreverent Notes from a Decade of Greed"; "This Land is Their Land: Reports from a Divided Nation"; "Blood Rites: Origins and History of the Passions of War"; "Living with a Wild God: A Nonbeliever's Search for the Truth about Everything"; and "Natural Causes: An Epidemic of Wellness, the Certainty of Dying, and Killing Ourselves to Live Longer."
In 2011 Ehrenreich, who'd gone through a grueling bout with breast cancer, talked with "Sunday Morning" correspondent Rita Braver about her resistance to the notion of "positive thinking" being a determinant of one's experience, which she characterized as, "If things don't go well, if you get sick, or if you lose your job, or fall into poverty, it must be your fault because you weren't sending the right thoughts out into the universe."
"Well, what's wrong with that attitude? A lot of people have it," said Braver.
"It's wrong because it's not true!" Ehrenreich laughed.
In her book "Bright-Sided," she argued that the relentless promotion of positive thinking has undermined America.
"Is the alternative to positive thinking to be negative or pessimistic or fatalistic?" asked Braver.
"The alternative is to try to see the world as it is more. Realism, I would call that," she replied.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Mikhail Gorbachev (March 2, 1931-August 30, 2022) was the last president of the U.S.S.R., whose efforts to revitalize his country's lagging economy and to advance a staid communist bureaucracy through the introduction of "glasnost" (openness) led to the fall of the Iron Curtain, the breakup of the Soviet Union, and an end to the Cold War. He survived an attempted coup in August 1991, but in a matter of months, after more and more Soviet republics declared their independence, he resigned on December 25, 1991. The next day, the Soviet Union ceased to exist.
During his short tenure (he had risen to become Soviet leader in March 1985), Gorbachev sought reforms freeing political prisoners, expanding the ability of citizens to travel and engage in open debate, and ending religious persecution. He established closer ties with the West, holding summits with leaders such as American Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, and moved to reduce nuclear arsenals, while watching Eastern European satellite states pull away from Moscow's influence.
He also oversaw the USSR's ignominious withdrawal from Afghanistan, and initially called Western reports about the effects of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear accident an "unbridled anti-Soviet campaign."
But the freedoms he promoted became synonymous to many of his countrymen with chaos, as long-suppressed ethnic tensions flared. There were uprisings and wars in the southern Caucasus and Baltic republics. Many seniors lost their life savings because of hyper-inflation. Price increases led to shortages, bread lines, factory shutdowns, and strikes.
"I see myself as a man who started the reforms that were necessary for the country and for Europe and the world," Gorbachev told the Associated Press in 1992. "I am often asked, would I have started it all again if I had to repeat it? Yes, indeed. And with more persistence and determination."
Gorbachev received numerous accolades, including the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize. But his global popularity was not matched back home, where he was blamed for the Soviet Union's collapse, and for the economic turmoil that followed. When he ran for president in 1996, he received less than 1% of the vote.
In his address to the nation upon stepping down from office, Gorbachev reflected, "The process of renovating this country and bringing about fundamental changes in the international community proved to be much more complex than originally anticipated. However, let us acknowledge what has been achieved so far. Society has acquired freedom; it has been freed politically and spiritually. And this is the most important achievement, which we have not fully come to grips with in part because we still have not learned how to use our freedom."
Wolfgang Petersen
German filmmaker Wolfgang Petersen (March 14, 1941-August 12, 2022) burst onto the international scene with his 1981 drama "Das Boot," one of the most compelling war films ever made, which perfectly captured the claustrophobia facing a German submarine crew during the Battle of the Atlantic in World War II. What was then the most expensive movie in German film history, "Das Boot" would be nominated for six Academy Awards (including two for Petersen, for direction and screenwriting).
It would launch Petersen (who'd worked extensively in German television, but who grew up enamored by the films of John Ford) towards a Hollywood career, starting with the 1984 children's fantasy "The NeverEnding Story." He later directed the Clint Eastwood Secret Service drama "In the Line of Fire"; the Harrison Ford thriller "Air Force One"; the George Clooney disaster film "The Perfect Storm"; and the historical epic "Troy," starring Brad Pitt.
Other credits include "Enemy Mine," "Shattered," "Outbreak," and "Poseidon." His last film, which he shot back in Germany, was the comedy "Four vs. the Bank."
In 2016 he talked with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle about his fascination with American films while growing up: "It has very much to do with the situation in Germany after the war. We didn't learn about the situation under the Nazis. My parents never really talked about that. And for a kid at the age of 10 or 12, you want an answer. I had the feeling that everything in my world and in Germany around that time was unclear. There was no moral there; there was no understanding of why things happened.
"In these films, there was clarity – especially in Westerns – about what is good and what is bad and about what you have to fight against and why. Clarity is important for a boy, and it was missing from the world around us."
Anne Heche
Actress Anne Heche (May 25, 1969-August 11, 2022) first gained notice on the NBC soap "Another World," in which she played twins Marley and Vicky Hudson, for which she won a Daytime Emmy Award. Her subsequent film career included roles opposite Johnny Depp in "Donnie Brasco," Tommy Lee Jones in "Volcano," Harrison Ford in "Six Days, Seven Nights," and Vince Vaughn and Joaquin Phoenix in "Return to Paradise." One of her best performances was as a White House aide opposite media spin doctor Robert De Niro in the 1997 political satire "Wag the Dog."
Other credits included "Walking and Talking," "I Know What You Did Last Summer," the color shot-for-shot remake of "Psycho," "John Q," "Birth," "Cedar Rapids" and "Wild Card." On TV she starred in the comedy series "Men in Trees," "Save Me," "Dig," "Aftermath," "The Brave," and "The Idol," and appeared in "Ally McBeal," "Hung," "The Michael J. Fox Show," "Chicago P.D.," and "All Rise." In 2020 she was a contestant on "Dancing With the Stars."
In her candid 2001 memoir "Call Me Crazy," Heche recounted her peripatetic and oppressive childhood (her family moved nearly a dozen times), and years of sexual abuse by her father. She began acting at age 12 at a N.J. dinner theater to earn money for her family after her father died of complications from AIDS. The following year her 23-year-old brother died by suicide.
At 17 she began therapy for having experienced "a lot of death, and a lot of abuse and homelessness," she told the Associated Press. "I went through eight years of trying to be at peace with who I was and what had happened to me as a child." In her book she described developing a separate personality due to her suffering.
In 1997 she began a relationship with comedian Ellen Degeneres, making them one of Hollywood's first openly-gay couples. (They would be together for three years.) But Heche said it affected her professionally – she claimed the studio threatened her if she brought Degeneres to the "Volcano" premiere afterparty, and that it was Ford's support that kept her from being fired from the rom-com "Six Days, Seven Nights." As media outlets tut-tutted over "how to deal with a gay actress whose career has been built on playing heterosexual roles," Heche claimed to be blacklisted from studio pictures. She continued to work on TV, and on Broadway (in "Proof" and "Twentieth Century").
Heche's mental health issues would also become fodder for the media, as when she had a public breakdown following the end of her relationship with Degeneres. She would go on to have two children, one with husband Coleman Laffoon (whom she divorced in 2009), and one with actor James Tupper.
In 2020 Heche was asked by the magazine Mr. Warburton what advice she would share with a young up-and-comer struggling with insecurity or finding their true self: "Risk is the key. Be yourself. Be brave. Also, the longer I have been in the business, the more I know that everyone pretends to know more than they do. So don't be intimidated!"
Bill Pitman
A member of the elite cadre of Los Angeles session musicians known as the "Wrecking Crew," guitarist Bill Pitman (February 12, 1920-August 11, 2022) played on hundreds of recordings for such artists as Mel Torme, Buddy Rich, Frank Sinatra, The Mamas & the Papas, The Everly Brothers, The Ronettes, Elvis Presley, Jan & Dean, The Monkees, Sam Cooke, James Brown, The Carpenters, and The Beach Boys.
A New Jersey native (his father was a bass player for NBC in New York), Pitman went West after serving in World War II, to study at the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music and Arts. His session work would lead him to producer Phil Spector (to whom, years earlier, he'd given guitar lessons) and to countless pop and rock songs that helped define the era. He performed on hundreds of recordings (in one year alone he played in 425 recording sessions), such as The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album (including "Wouldn't It Be Nice"), Frank Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night," The Byrds' "Mr. Tambourine Man," and Barbra Streisand's "The Way We Were."
He also played on TV and movie soundtracks (from "MASH" to "Bonanza" and "Star Trek"). Though his performances were often anonymous, they were nonetheless memorable, whether he was wielding a Daneletro six-string bass guitar (on the theme for the TV series "The Wild, Wild West"), or a ukulele (on the Oscar-winning song from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head").
Olivia Newton-John
Four-time Grammy Award-winning singer Olivia Newton-John (September 26, 1948-August 8, 2022) sold 100 million albums in a career that stretched from radio to the movie screen and Las Vegas, while radiating courage and grace in her years-long battle against cancer.
Born in England, the daughter of a German literature professor and granddaughter of a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Newton-John's family moved to Australia when she was 5, but she returned to England in her teens to live with her mother after her parents split. She won singing contests, and recorded her first single, "Till You Say You'll Be Mine," in 1966.
From the early 1970s, Newton-John had 14 Top 10 singles in the U.S., beginning with several hits on the Adult Contemporary and Country charts (including "If Not For You" and "Let Me Be There," which climbed into the Billboard Top 10). In 1973 she was named the Country Music Association's top artist (beating out Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn), but her music became more associated with the pop genre. She hit #1 with "I Honestly Love You" and "Have You Never Been Mellow."
In 1978 she starred with John Travolta in the film version of the musical "Grease," which featured their #1 duets, "You're the One That I Want" and "Summer Nights," as well as the #2 hit, "Hopelessly Devoted To You." In 1980 she starred in the film "Xanadu," from which the song "Magic" also hit #1.
The following year she topped the charts again with "Physical," which sat at #1 for 10 weeks and was named song of the year by Billboard, despite its being banned by some radio stations due to its somewhat provocative lyrics. Her music video for the song won a Grammy for best video.
At age 43, Newton-John felt a lump during a breast self-examination. She was diagnosed with cancer on the same day her father died. "I had a daughter, I had a child to care about," she told "CBS Sunday Morning" in 2019. "And that was my focus. You know, 'I've gotta get through this for her.'"
Declared cancer-free after chemotherapy, she became an activist and philanthropist, serving as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme, and founding the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre in Melbourne in 2012.
And she continued to perform. Newton-John's later albums included "Stronger Than Before" (2005); the 2012 holiday album "This Christmas" (in which she re-teamed with Travolta); and 2015's "Summer Nights: Live in Las Vegas," which grew out of her three-year-long residency on the Strip.
But her cancer returned in 2013. "Why me? has never been a part of it," she said. "I never felt victimized." She chose instead to deal with it. The cancer went into remission, but in 2017 it returned.
In 2019, she penned an autobiography, "Don't Stop Believin'," and auctioned off hundreds of items from her collection, raising more than $2 million for her cancer center. One of the items sold: her skintight black leather pants from "Grease," which – she proved to "Sunday Morning" in 2019 – still fit her.
In talking about "Grease" to The Telegraph in 2017, she recalled: "Everything about making the film was fun, but if I had to pick a favorite moment, it was the transformation from what I call Sandy 1 to Sandy 2. I got to play a different character and wear different clothes, and when I put on that tight black outfit to sing 'You're the One That I Want,' I got a very different reaction from the guys on the set."
David McCullough
A familiar voice in television documentaries, historian David McCullough (July 7, 1933-August 7, 2022) won two Pulitzer Prizes for his biographies of presidents: the 1992 book "Truman," and the 2001 "John Adams," which became the basis of the HBO miniseries that won 13 Emmy Awards. He also authored books on Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
But McCullough's expertise went beyond the White House. He wrote books on the Johnstown Flood, the Brooklyn Bridge, the building of the Panama Canal, the Revolutionary War, and the settling of the American West.
He narrated documentaries on PBS' "American Experience," and series by Ken Burns (such as "The Civil War," "The Statue of Liberty" and "Brooklyn Bridge"). He also narrated the 2003 film "Seabiscuit," the real-life story of the racehorse that defied everyone's worst expectations.
He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2006.
In a 2017 interview on CBS' "Face the Nation," in describing how the nation was living in "clearly a dangerous time," McCullough discussed how America needed to learn the lessons of how it overcame a civil war, the 1918 influenza epidemic and the Great Depression, as well as winning two world wars. "I think we need to remember who we are and how we got to be where we are and how much we owe to those who went before us," McCullough said. "And there's much to be learned from them, much to be learned from history. We are not doing very well or not doing as well as we should in raising our oncoming generations with an appreciation of the story of their country."
In addition to advocating for better teaching of history, McCullough was also active in historical preservation efforts, including, in the 1990s, fighting the Walt Disney Company's proposed theme park near Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia. The theme park plans were shelved.
For all of his writings about the successes and failures of America's past, and of its leaders (and despite his criticism of the 45th president's time in office as "disappointing" and "grotesque"), McCullough was an optimist about our country. He told "Sunday Morning" in 2019, "We're just getting started. That's the way I feel. Two hundred years is nothing!"
Dr. Raymond Damadian
In the late 1960s, Dr. Raymond Damadian (March 16, 1936-August 3, 2022) began experimenting at a Brooklyn medical center with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy – hitting tissue with radio wave pulses within a magnetic field. When he discovered in 1970 that it provided a feasible means to detect cancerous cells in rats, he published his findings, which lead to his construction of the first MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner.
The very first scan, in a machine he called "Indomitable," was conducted on July 3, 1977, on one of his assistants, he being skinny enough, after an earlier scan on Damadian failed. "I was just too fat for the coil," he told Inc. Magazine in 2011.
Damadian then founded a company, Fondar, to produce a commercial version of the scanner. He was immediately embroiled in legal tussles over infringement of his patents when competing companies tried to market their own MRI scanners; Damadian lost some fights, won others (including a 1997 judgment against General Electric for $128 million). Fonar would later introduce an upright MRI scanner.
Damadian would receive the National Medal of Technology and be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. But when the 2003 Nobel Prize was awarded to two other scientists for the development of magnetic resonance imaging, Damadian launched a campaign to right what he characterized a "shameful wrong."
Melissa Bank
The 1999 New York Times bestseller "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing," the first book by writer Melissa Bank (October 11, 1960-August 2, 2022), was a collection of seven interconnected stories about a young woman, Jane Rosenal, who ages from 14 to her 30s. It became a tremendous critical and commercial success, selling more than 1.5 million copies, and was translated into dozens of languages.
Bank, a Cornell University masters' graduate and copywriter for an ad firm, won a short-story competition in 1993. The "Girls' Guide" title story was published in 1998 in the magazine Zoetrope, prompting a bidding war for a collection. But it would take Bank 12 years to complete "Girls' Guide," her work interrupted by a bicycle accident from which she suffered short-term memory loss and an inability to remember words.
Upon the collection's publication, Bank was praised for her "exquisite portraits of loneliness," and for her wit and precise language, inspired by such writers as Vladimir Nabokov, John Cheever and Ernest Hemingway. Two stories from "Girls' Guide" were adapted for the 2007 romcom "Suburban Girl."
She also authored the story collection "The Wonder Spot," and taught in the MFA program at Stony Brook University in Southampton, New York.
In a 1999 interview with Salon.com, Bank said she was initially intimidated by other writers' voices: "Remarkably, I felt really freed when I got to college. At a certain point I had this breakthrough – I was really blocked, and I started saying this thing to myself: 'You're the only person who can write this story.' And that signaled more confidence in my voice. I stopped trying to write like other writers, all of whom were male, and just learned to be myself on the page."
Bank said she didn't set out to create in Jane an Everywoman: "I wanted a true character, but I didn't think, 'Oh, here's somebody everyone can relate to'; I wasn't thinking about an audience. You get somebody right by getting all of the little, tiny things right. Somehow that's how you wind up at anything universal."
Vin Scully
"Hi, everybody, and a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you may be."
He was the longest tenured broadcaster with a single team in pro sports history, a gracious commentator and storyteller, and a true fan of the game, even when his beloved Dodgers were behind. Vin Scully (November 29, 1927-August 2, 2022) began in the 1950s with the Brooklyn Dodgers, when the "Bums" fielded such stars as Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese, and followed the team to Los Angeles, announcing the exploits of such legends as Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Steve Garvey and Don Sutton. And while the team changed rosters and managers many times over, Scully was in the announcing booth as the Voice of the Dodgers for nearly seven decades, including for six World Series championships.
Born in the Bronx, Scully's family moved to Brooklyn following the death of his father. It was there he played stickball and listened to sports on the radio. He eventually broadcast games for the Fordham University radio station. Hired by the CBS radio affiliate in Washington, D.C. at age 22, Scully was soon picked by announcer Red Barber to sit in the Brooklyn Dodgers' broadcast booth, making his debut on Opening Day in 1950. He stayed with the team for 67 seasons.
During his tenure, he called 18 no-hitters and three perfect games. He was at the mic in 1974 in Atlanta when the Braves' Hank Aaron hit a home run off Dodger Al Downing to break Babe Ruth's all-time record. "A Black man is getting a standing ovation in the Deep South for breaking a record of an all-time baseball idol," Scully told his audience. "What a marvelous moment for baseball."
In addition to being the voice of the Dodgers, Scully called play-by-play for CBS and NBC for 25 World Series and 12 All-Star Games. He also called NFL games and PGA Tour events.
Scully was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1982, and in 2010 the American Sportscasters Association voted Scully "the greatest sportscaster of the 20th century." In 2016 he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
It was in 2016 that the redhead who started with the Brooklyn Dodgers at 23 retired, just shy of his 89th birthday.
Scully told "Sunday Morning" in 2020 that in retirement he could enjoy watching baseball purely as a fan. "I don't watch it critically," he said. "I'm not listening really to what the announcers say: 'Are they trying to steal my stuff?' You know, I have none of that!"
That same year he auctioned off decades of sports memorabilia, raising more than $2 million, part of which was donated to UCLA for ALS research. He said he did not regret parting with any of his collection, from his Babe Ruth autograph to his 1988 World Series ring. "I would much rather treasure the memories," Scully told the Associated Press.
Bill Russell
"Today, we lost a giant," former President Barack Obama said of the loss of NBA legend Bill Russell (February 12, 1934-July 31, 2022). "On the court, he was the greatest champion in basketball history. Off of it, he was a civil rights trailblazer."
Russell was born in the segregated South and moved to Oakland, California, as a child. As a star player at the University of San Francisco, he led the team to two NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956, and then took home a gold medal from the Melbourne Olympics in 1956. Then he launched a legendary NBA career with the Boston Celtics, racking up a record 11 NBA championships while being named MVP five times and an all-star 12 times. After a decade with the Celtics, Russell took on the role of player-coach — the first Black head coach in NBA history — leading the team to titles in 1968 and '69.
Through it all, Russell stood tall for civil rights and social justice. He was at the March on Washington in 1963, when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech, backed Muhammad Ali when the boxer was sidelined for refusing the draft, and refused to be cowed by racist taunts during his playing days in Boston.
"Bill stood for something much bigger than sports: the values of equality, respect and inclusion that he stamped into the DNA of our league," NBA Commissioner Adam Silver wrote.
Nichelle Nichols
From her iconic role on "Star Trek" to her real-life role recruiting for NASA, Nichelle Nichols (December 28, 1932-July 30, 2022) was a groundbreaker on multiple fronts.
As Lt. Nyota Uhura, Nichols was one of the first Black actresses to star in a primetime TV show, and she and "Star Trek" made history with television's first interracial kiss in 1968.
In 2015 Nichols, participating in a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" chat, said that she had been ready to leave the show after the first season, after being offered a role on Broadway. But she was convinced to stay by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who told her, "Nichelle, whether you like it or not, you have become a symbol. If you leave, they can replace you with a blonde-haired white girl, and it will be like you were never there. What you've accomplished, for all of us, will only be real if you stay."
"That got me thinking about how it would look for fans of color around the country if they saw me leave," she wrote. "I saw that this was bigger than just me."
She stayed for the original series' three seasons, and returned for six theatrical features.
"She was the third-highest ranking member in the space command," civil rights attorney Ben Crump, an executive producer of the documentary "Women in Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek and the Remaking of NASA," told "CBS Saturday Morning" in 2021. "I mean, you talk about every little Black boy and girl running to the TV to say, 'Hello that's a Black woman, and she's in charge?'"
The head of NASA took note of her impact and hired Nichols to travel the country to recruit women and people of color for the space program.
Mourning her loss, Nichols' "Star Trek" costar George Takei tweeted, "my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend."
Tony Dow
The role of Wally Cleaver on TV's "Leave It to Beaver" shaped the life of actor Tony Dow (April 13, 1945-July 27, 2022) for years to come.
Dow was 12 years old when he started playing the older brother to Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver (Jerry Mathers) on the hit series that would quickly come to represent an idealized paradigm of mid-century American family life. The show ran from 1957 to 1963, and aired for decades afterwards in reruns. Dow reprised his role in a reunion movie and TV series in the 1980s.
But as he told CBS News' Jim Axelrod in a 2021 interview, it felt "sad to be famous at 12 years old or something, and then you grow up and become a real person, and nothing's happening for you." Depression, he said, is "a very powerful thing. And it's had a lot of effect on my life."
Dow found another creative outlet in art, which became his passion later in life. He credited his work as a sculptor — combined with medication and therapy — for helping him getting a handle on his depression.
In a 2012 interview with the Associated Press, Dow laughed when he recounted the day he decided it was time to take the leap from acting to sculpting. He was up for a role in a TV show and a 28-year-old executive asked, "Have you ever done comedy before," recalled Dow, co-star of one of the most classic TV comedies in history.
"Well, I sort of looked at him and I thought, `Hmmm, maybe it is time for me to retire. Maybe it is time to take the art seriously."'
James Lovelock
British scientist James Lovelock (July 26, 1919-July 26, 2022) popularized the concept of Gaia – that the Earth is a self-regulated living organism – and helped reshape thinking about the environment.
A chemist and inventor who worked as a consultant for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Shell, his ideas helped define what is now referred to as the "Lovelock test," when searching for chemical signs of life on other planets by studying their spectra.
In the 1970s Lovelock and microbiologist Lynn Margulis wrote of our planet as a synergistic body that self-regulates itself – the earth, the oceans and the atmosphere, as well as all living organisms on it. Named after the Greek deity, the holistic Gaia concept was described in journal articles that would form the basis of Lovelock's 1979 book, "Gaia: A New Look at Life on Earth."
The Gaia concept would both inspire new studies in earth sciences and environmental activism (including warnings about the effects of man's contributions to climate change), and criticism for being "unscientific" and attributing causation or purpose to its existence.
In a 2021 article for the Guardian, Lovelock warned of "genocidal acts" – the proliferation of man-made greenhouse gases, and the clearcutting of rainforests – that have caused changes on a scale not seen in millions of years.
"My fellow humans must learn to live in partnership with the Earth, otherwise the rest of creation will, as part of Gaia, unconsciously move the Earth to a new state in which humans may no longer be welcome," he wrote. "The virus, COVID-19, may well have been one negative feedback. Gaia will try harder next time with something even nastier."
Paul Sorvino
In an acting career that spanned half a century, Paul Sorvino (April 13, 1939-July 25, 2022) made an indelible impact on screen, whether portraying a gangster or a cop, a communist or a statesman, a leading man or a comic character.
Born in Brooklyn, Sorvino trained in music and theater, making his Broadway debut in 1964 before Carl Reiner cast him in his first film role in "Where's Poppa?" More movies followed, including "The Panic in Needle Park" with Al Pacino, "The Gambler" with James Caan, "Oh, God!," "The Day of the Dolphin," "Bloodbrothers," "That Championship Season," Warren Beatty's "Reds" and "Dick Tracy," and Oliver Stone's "Nixon," playing Henry Kissinger. TV roles included "Bert D'Angelo/Superstar" (a spinoff from his appearance on "The Streets of San Francisco"), "Law & Order" (as NYPD sergeant Phil Cerreta), "Chiefs," "The Oldest Rookie," and "That's Life."
His best-known role was as mobster Paulie Cicero in Martin Scorsese's "Goodfellas."
His early dream of being an opera singer was thwarted by asthma, but later in life he starred in a New York City opera production of "The Most Happy Fella." He also appeared in the 2008 film "Repo! The Genetic Opera."
He also had three children who followed him into the entertainment business, including the Oscar-winning actress Mira Sorvino, with whom he costarred in six films.
In a 1992 interview with Charlie Rose, Sorvino spoke of being drawn to performing as a moth is to flame: "If you ask me to weep, I will weep for you. I will not fake it. I won't put glycerin in my eyes. I will find the place in me that causes me to weep."
But for "Goodfellas," he admitted to Rose he had difficulty finding the emotional basis for crime boss Paulie Cicero, and spoke movingly about his personal quest as an actor: "When you ask me to express a certain lethality, to limn the unconscious of a murderer, a killer, a person who could kiss his grandchild and order your death in the next breath, I don't know what that is … When I took the role, I took it expressing to everyone that I knew exactly what to do when I knew nothing of how to do it. …
"I kept talking to myself for two months, day in and day out, looking for the place that would justify this lethality, this coldness and yet maintain a warm side, because just a coldness, that's an automaton. That's one-dimensional, a person who's killed himself off. Paulie Cicero had not killed himself off, but a certain part of him was absolutely dead – cold and dead. And I found that. And when I found that, I scared myself with it. It frightened the hell out of me, because I didn't suspect it, even in me. I did not suspect it was part of my building blocks. And one day I was crossing a mirror as I'd been working on it, I literally was jolted. I saw a dead look in my eyes. I said, 'Now I know the role.'"
Diana Kennedy
Chef and cookbook author Diana Kennedy (March 3, 1923-July 24, 2022) would become known as "the Julia Child of Mexican Cuisine," inspiring others such as José Andrés and Rick Bayless.
Born Diana Southwood in Britain, she studied culinary arts and collected recipes wherever she traveled. After moving to Mexico in the late 1950s (she soon married a New York Times foreign correspondent, Paul Kennedy), she became an authority on local cuisines and techniques, interviewing home cooks and researching local ingredients. She would later teach classes in traditional Mexican cooking.
Her nine books included "The Cuisines of Mexico" (1972), "The Tortilla Book" (1975), "Nothing Fancy: Recipes and Recollections of Soul-Satisfying Food" (1984), "My Mexico" (1998), and "From My Mexican Kitchen - Techniques and Ingredients" (2003).
She received the James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame Award in 2014.
In a 2019 New York Times interview, Kennedy defended her reputation for being at time "prickly" with editors. "For God's sake, I'm not trying to win a popularity contest, I'm a cook!" she said. "There's far too much mediocrity in this world, and someone's got to say something."
David Warner
He played evil itself in the fantasy "Time Bandits," not to mention an evil computer program in "Tron," Jack the Ripper in "Time After Time," a Klingon in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country," and a sinister henchman in "Titanic." David Warner (July 29, 1941-July 24, 2022) was one of the most dynamic actors of his generation. With numerous memorable appearances in films and TV, he won an Emmy Award as a Roman senator in the 1981 miniseries "Masada."
A student of the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London (two of his fellow classmates were John Hurt and Ian McShane), Warner told The AV Club in 2017 that he had fallen into acting by default: "Academically I was hopeless, and athletically I was hopeless. In my Wikipedia entry, it says I had a messy childhood, and that's the truth! But I sort of drifted into the odd school play, and that was one thing that I kind of felt that I had some enthusiasm for."
A member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, Warner has played Henry VI, Richard II, Hamlet and King Lear, as well as roles in "Julius Caesar," "Twelfth Nigh
