Chasing Charles Lindbergh:

Nov. 1927--When The "Lone Eagle" Landed In Susquehanna County, Penna.

In May of that year Lindbergh became the first person to fly the Atlantic Ocean--one of the epic acts in the history of humanity, one which overnight catapulted him into worldwide fame.

Then on Nov. 4, fresh off a triumphal tour that had taken him to 48 states and 92 cities, he was flying from Long Island to Buffalo, New York, when he had to make a landing in a hayfield due to weather.

As written in Choconut Township, The Way It Was: Stories, Illustrations & Photographs Of Local History by James Mordovancey: "The guest of kings and presidents was about to board with farmers and a quiet parish priest. Upon an unsuspecting Choconut, dropped the most famous man in the world..."

The photo above shows "Lucky Lindy" (2nd from left) in that hayfield. The author grew up in the farmhouse in the background. His grandparents and mother hosted the celebrity there for a few hours. To read about that memorable evening and why for much of his life the author has been on the trail of the famous aviator, go to http://www.mauitime.com/ (Click on "archives," page 2, July 19 issue)

Last class notes

Thank you all for being wonderful students, and please continue to use this blog for experiments! Make sure to add any blogs you create to the "Class Participant's Blogs" list in the sidebar (use the Layout tab, then click Edit in that section and add the link).

The PowerPoint from the fourth class is here (it's only 4 slides--just a quick overview). The handout about right-click menus is here (also in PDF).

I'm going to add a new page element which will link directly to the class content posts, for easy reference.

MALAISE

If you've had the flu, this poem's for you . . .



MALAISE



I seem to have a virus in my soul,

A thing of huge proportions, something green,

Transmitting messages like a telephone pole.



I think it was concocted by a troll.

Something not nice, not pristine.

I seem to have a virus in my soul.



A bug like this is anything but droll,

Invading my nervous sustem all unseen,

Transmitting messages like a telephone pole.



I'd like to let it out, be on parole.

I wonder at its shape - perhaps a bean?

I seem to have a virus in my soul.



There is an element here of grand guignol -

Kidneys, liver, heart and apleen

Transmitting messages like a telephone pole



I'm food for bugs. Yes, on the whole,

An element of soup in a tureen.

I seem to have a virus in my soul

Transmitting messages like telephone pole.
