Mrs. Marcos was given a personal tour by Malcolm Forbes aboard his yacht, cruising by the bay as they both admired the night scape view of the New York City skyline.
Forbes Malcolm - 1919 - 90, American publisher, b. Englewood, NJ. the third son of a Scottish immigrant who founded Forbes magazine in 1917, he graduated from Princeton Univ., (1941), and became publisher of the magazine on his father's death (1954). Under his leadership, the publication became one of America's most
successful business magazine, with a circulation of 735,000. It's annual list of the richest 400 people in America is one of the most widely quoted source on the subject of wealth in the United States.
He was worth at least $400 million at his death.
Forbes was loath to put a real figure to his income and holdings, though he published practically everybody else's value. Forbes
flamboyant consumerism served the firm well, and his enthusiastic spending habits earned him the nickname " the happiest millionaire", although not as obviously a philanthropist, Forbes gave millions of dollars each year to charities, characterized as a man who loved the spotlight, who shamelessly enjoyed the privileges his money afforded him, and who was always in pursuit of adventure, Forbes was a balloonist, a motor cyclist and a sailor who took many trips on his huge yacht, the " Highlander ".
Malcolm Forbes was a giant American business, " said then president George Bush, as quoted in Forbes. His success in publishing reflected the tremendous vitality of our nation and served
to inform and inspire a generation of successful business leaders.
He was greatly admired and will be greatly missed. " Former president Ronald Reagan offered similar tribute: Malcolm was truly a dear friend and will miss him sorely. We hold our memories of him close to our hearts and are thankful to have known him.
I decided I'd better scan these old polaroids before they turn to toxic dust. I was 19 here, and behind us is my purse onto which I had laboriously sewed a "New Mutants" patch. The dress I was wearing here is what I called my "Betsey Johnson Daisy Mae Mid-Victorian Bondage Baby" dress. I was, as usual, wearing nothing under it. Also worth noting, I was probably wearing Keds on my feet. No socks. This was taken at the Creation Con in NYC where I first became friends with Chris Claremont, who was a good friend and great comfort to me in my junkie years.
At my best and most integrated, the subtle things in life are sublime and enjoyable: taking a walk, catching a sunset, snapping shots.
This day saw a trifecta of subtle satisfactions.

Wildt & Kray
Wildt & Kray, who were active between 1903 and 1915, were based at 15, Lensden Place, London EC1. They published a wide variety of postcard types, including many view-cards that were artist drawn.
Those from Ireland sometimes had shamrock borders. They also produced many real photo cards, sepia art reproductions, greetings cards, depictions of dogs, and people in the form of vegetables.
These cards were generally manufactured in England. Reinthal & Newman printed many cards for them.
Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson
Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson (16th. January 1853 – 6th. November 1937) was an English actor and theatre manager. He was considered the finest Hamlet of the Victorian era and one of the finest actors of his time, despite his dislike of the job and his lifelong belief that he was temperamentally unsuited to acting.
The Early Years
Born in London, he was the eldest of the eleven children of John Forbes-Robertson, a theatre critic and journalist from Aberdeen, and his wife Frances.
One of his sisters, Frances (1866–1956), and three of his brothers, Ian Forbes-Robertson (1859–1936), Norman Forbes-Robertson (1858–1932) and John Kelt (Eric Forbes-Robertson) (1865–1935), also became actors.
He was educated at Charterhouse. Originally intending to become an artist, he trained for three years at the Royal Academy. He began a theatrical career out of a desire to be self-supporting, when the dramatist William Gorman Wills, who had seen him in private theatricals, offered him a role in his play 'Mary Queen of Scots'.
His many performances led him into, among other things, travel to the U.S., and work with Sir Henry Irving. He was hailed as one of the most individual and refined of English actors. He was a personal friend of the Duke of Sutherland and his family, and often stayed with them at Trentham Hall; he recommended to them various writers and musicians in dire need of assistance.
Forbes-Robertson first came to prominence playing second leads to Henry Irving before making his mark in the role of Hamlet. One of his early successes was in W. S. Gilbert's 'Dan'l Druce, Blacksmith'.
In 1882, he starred with Lottie Venne and Marion Terry in G. W. Godfrey's comedy 'The Parvenu' at the Court Theatre. George Bernard Shaw wrote the part of Caesar in 'Caesar and Cleopatra' for him. Shaw stated:
"I wrote 'Caesar and Cleopatra' for Forbes-Robertson,
because he is the classic actor of our day, and had
a right to require such a service from me …
Forbes-Robertson is the only actor I know who can
find out the feeling of a speech from its cadence.
His art meets the dramatist’s art directly, picking it
up for completion and expression without
explanations or imitations … Without him Caesar
and Cleopatra would not have been written".
Forbes-Robertson's other notable roles were Romeo, Othello, Leontes in 'The Winter's Tale', and the leading role in 'The Passing of the Third Floor Back'; performed on Broadway in 1908.
He did not play Hamlet until he was 44 years old, but after his success in the part he continued playing it until 1916, including a surviving silent film (1913).
In a theatre review of Forbes-Robertson’s performance in 'Hamlet' published in The Saturday Review (2nd. October 1897) George Bernard Shaw wrote:
"Nothing half so charming has been seen
by this generation. It will bear seeing again
and again. … His intellect is the organ of his
passion.
His eternal self-criticism is alive and thrilling
as it can possibly be. … Mr. Forbes-Robertson’s
own performance has a continuous charm,
interest and variety, which are the result not
only of his well-known grace and
accomplishment as an actor, but of a genuine
delight — the rarest thing on our stage —
in Shakespeare’s art, and a natural familiarity
with the plane of his imagination".
Forbes-Robertson was also a talented painter who did a portrait of his mentor Samuel Phelps that currently hangs in the Garrick Club in London.
Forbes-Robertson acted in plays with the actress Mary Anderson in the 1880's. He became smitten with her, and asked her hand in marriage. She kindly turned him down though they remained friends. Later he and actress Beatrice Campbell enjoyed a brief affair during the time she starred with him in a series of Shakespearean plays in the mid-1890's.
The Later Years
In 1900, at the age of 47, he married American-born actress Gertrude Elliott (1874–1950), sister of Maxine Elliott, with whom he had four daughters. Their first daughter was Maxine Forbes-Robertson known as 'Blossom', who married the aircraft designer F. G. Miles and became a director and designer of the Miles Aircraft company.
Their second daughter Jean Forbes-Robertson became an accomplished actress. Their third daughter was Chloe Forbes-Robertson (1909–1947), an artist.
Diana Forbes-Robertson (1914–1988), their fourth daughter, was a writer who later wrote a biography of her aunt Maxine Elliott.
Johnston Forbes-Robertson was knighted in 1913 at the age of 60, at which point he retired briefly from acting.
He returned to the stage, however, for his first farewell tour of the US in 1914–1915. It began in with a three month run in New York, then traveled the country using eight railroad freight cars to carry the sets, costumes and properties for eight shows. There were also two passenger cars for the actors and personnel. His last appearance was at the Sanders Theatre in Boston with a performance of 'Hamlet'.
A second farewell tour followed; it traveled to 122 towns, beginning in Detroit in October 1915, with four plays. The tour traveled to Chicago, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Kansas City, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco — where he learned of the birth of his fourth daughter, Diana.
At this point they decided to reduce the itinerary to only three plays, by eliminating 'Caesar and Cleopatra' from the repertoire. In his autobiography he describes how, on one early morning, the set, including the sphinx, was piled onto a beach and set on fire.
The tour continued into Canada. His last performance as both Hamlet and as an actor, was in 1916 at the Sheldon Lecture Theatre of the University of Harvard, the stage of which had been made to replicate the stage of the Elizabethan Fortune Theatre especially for the Forbes-Robertson’s performance.
His literary works include 'The Life and Life-Work of Samuel Phelps' (actor and theatre manager) as well as his own autobiography 'A Player Under Three Reigns' (1925).
On the 6th. November 1937 he died at St. Margaret's Bay, near Dover, Kent, and was cremated at Golders Green Crematorium, London on the 9th. November. Memorial services were held at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Westminster, London.
A statue of Forbes-Robertson by Brenda Putnam (1932) can be found at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington D.C..
While photographing a street that my friend and I fell in love with a man offered to sell me an old abandoned house. It was an offer I really couldn't refuse. There was just one problem. I don't live in Pittsburgh.
It has always been a dream of mine to buy a bombed out row-house and restore it. It would take a hell of a lot of time and resources but damn it that would be nice. Who knows. A move to Pittsburgh might be in order?

just behind the beach lay the grave of fredrick lancaster whose family leased the island in the early 1900's.
they were fishermen.
So my dad, who turns 84 this summer, and my mom - came on this trip to Pittsburgh with us. They spent the first 40 years of their lives in the 'Burgh, and hadn't made a trip back in almost 20 years. This was also the first time since we left Pittsburgh in 1980 that we were all back together. So we did a lot of visiting of old and somewhat still familiar haunts - including the left-center field wall of old Forbes Field - the home of our mostly beloved Pirates, from 1909 to 1970.
Nestled in Oakland, next to the sprawling University of Pittsburgh campus, this was the place all of us grew up on baseball with. When the Pirates moved to Three Rivers - that icon of early 70s mediocrity in stadium design - Forbes was torn down to make room for even more University - but they had the wisdom to leave part of the outfield wall and the flagpole in place.
So here's my dad, who saw his first game here in the 1940s, standing in right center field, in front of the 436 ft. mark. There's a 457 ft. mark in left center, but we were standing here so... 436 it is. He did steal my hat - but the umps allowed it - so a portrait was made. And he's wearing a t-shirt of ... Forbes Field - as it looked in its final dimensions. So Forbes Field Inception.
We played a little catch in the outfield, near the 457 mark, and it was one of the best games of catch in my 50+ years of tossing the ball back and forth with my old man. And you can't beat that.
He's just starting to post pictures from our combined trips to Minnesota and Pittsburgh, so go take a look at over here.
Last month, last week, yesterday, this would have been impossible, but today they put a new coat of asphalt on Forbes Street. These guys were out enjoying the new, smooth ride.
I took these for the Kalamazoo Valley Museum project to document how wonderfully smooth the road is and how the denizens of Kalamazoo make use of it.

Not nearly as good as WaffleZ's stuff, but it's my first time, and I'm only shooting Canon ;-)
On my blog, chipinhead.com, I publish art and articles like the one this goes with, which is about the few things I actually HATE about Germany.
