The late George Winwood was a well known steam traction enthusiast, with a dry sense of humor around the North West of Tasmania. Sadly I never got to see him, he died when i was a very young age.
However he did happen to save a fair few traction engines, three survive here in Tasmania.
He his here with his beloved Marshall works number 42665. My grandfather is standing next to his childhood memory, Foden 2404. I believe the photo is around the late 70s. The Foden was a recently boiler tube replacement and restoration.
These are the only amps George had on stage. In contrast, the guitarist for their opening band, some local glam-hard rock group, used six Marshall stacks when he played!

"Jane Waldie, afterwards Mrs. Watts (1793–1826), author, born in 1793, showed a taste for painting at an early age, and studied under Nasmyth. She painted many pictures, mostly landscapes inspired by the beauty of the scenery surrounding her home. The figures in three or four of them are the work of Sir Robert Ker Porter [q. v.] As early as 1819 she exhibited at Somerset House a picture called ‘The Temple at Pæstum’ (Addit. MS. 18204). Twenty-eight of her pictures were at Hendersyde Park in 1859, but many had been removed at the time of her marriage, and remained in the possession of her husband. In September 1816 she accompanied her sister Charlotte, with whom she has often been confused, and her brother John abroad, returning to England in August 1817. The result was a book entitled ‘Sketches descriptive of Italy in 1816–17; with a brief Account of Travels in various parts of France and Switzerland’ (London, 1820, 4 vols. 8vo). On 20 Oct. of that year she married Captain (afterwards Rear-Admiral) George Augustus (???) Watts of Langton Grange, Staindrop, Darlington (cf. O'Byrne, Naval Biography, p. 1260), where, after losing her only child, she died on 6 July 1826."

Overlooking the Niagara River, Fort George was built between 1796 and 1802. This fortification served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812, and played a pivotal role in the defence of Upper Canada. Fort George saw action during the Battle of Queenston Heights, was destroyed and captured by the Americans during the Battle of Fort George, and was reclaimed by the British seven months later.
The 41st (Welch) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army, formed in 1719 and amalgamated into The Welch Regiment in 1881.
The 41st regiment served with distinction in Canada during the War of 1812 where it gained more battle honours than any other British unit during that period.

They celebrated the opening of the newest Greek Orthodox Church in New Jersey this morning near the town where I live. I'm neither Greek nor Orthodox, but I wasn't about to miss the opening of this new church which I drove by on the way to work for the last couple of years.
The ceremony for the Byzantine church was celebrated by Metropolitan Evangelos of New Jersey and the parish priest the Rev. Andrew Eugenis.
Much of the ceremony was in Greek, so I can only say "It's all Greek to Me!" I assume that they were praying to God to protect the church and keep it safe from evil vampires, werewolves and, of course, turks and other creatures of the night.
George Albert Moore served as a private in Company B, 27th Maine Volunteer Infantry, from 10 Sept 1862 to 17 July 1863. He would afterwards enlist as a landsman with the US Navy, 1864-1865, serving on board the USS Monadnock, USS Sabine, and USS Ohio.
He died on 22 Feb 1931 at the Naval Hospital on the shipyard, where he had been brought 6 days earlier with burns on his face, neck and hands. He had been attempting to extinguish a fire at his home in Kittery when an oil stove exploded.
