Pennsylvania Railroad J1 dragging a long string of coal hoppers up the eastern slope of the Allegany ridge towards Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. Oil on canvas, 22 x 26”, in progress, May 2020.
Gerald Jones of Esperance, New York tells us that he has been “working on a painting that has been on my list of paintings to do for a very long time. The Pennsylvania Railroad J1 steam locomotive is a personal favorite of mine though I never had the opportunity to actually see one operate.” The painting seen here is still only “roughed in” as Jones puts it. “I hope to have the painting completed by summer’s end, and of course I still need to add the Engineers gloved hand waving out of the cab window as a finishing touch.”

Gerald's been out here a long time. He grew up in the Bronzeville neighborhood and Altgeld Gardens. His Grandma and Mom raised him. His hip is bad and he can't move around much, so that's limited him ability. He said he is good in the culinary arts, can make pretty much everything and can grill up fantastic meat. If he could have anything, he'd love to cook again. During the wintertime when it's cold, he just medicates his hip. He's been on this corner for quite awhile. To someone who's depressed he'd say, "Just reach out. Talk to a minister, talk to the Salvation Army." Connect with people. He's just trying to make ends meet. It's a long day out here. Gerald sleeps on Lower Wacker. His request was for underwear, t-shirts, and new shoes.

Gerald Ames (1880-1933) was a British actor, film director, and Olympic fencer. In the post-First World War cinema, he was a popular leading man in the silent British cinema. Between 1914 and 1928. Ames appeared in more than seventy films.
Percy Gerald Ames was born in Blackheath, London in 1880. He was educated at Freiburg University in Germany. He first took up acting in 1905. Athletic, tall (183 cm), moustached, dark-eyed, and dark-haired, he was a heartbreaker. Ames was also a fencing champion. He competed in the individual épée event at the 1912 Summer Olympics. His film debut was a supporting part in the Gaumont British production She Stoops to Conquer (George Loane Tucker, 1914), starring Henry Ainley. Ames became a popular leading man in the post-First World War cinema with his role as gentleman thief Arsene Lupin in the crime drama Arsene Lupin (George Loane Tucker, 1916). Guy Bellinger at IMDb: "Ames had all it took to get top billing and he did grace about seventy films (many of which directed by pioneers George Loane Tucker and Cecil M. Hepworth) with his manly presence. He very successfully portrayed three archetypal fiction characters, Rupert Von Hetzau, Arsène Lupin, and Raffles. And he most often found himself in the shoes of figures of imposing bearing such as aristocrats (knights, counts, marquises, princes...), officers (lieutenants, captains...), judges, ambassadors, the like..."
Gerald Ames starred in such dramas as A Fortune at Stake (Walter West, 1918), also starring Violet Hopson, Comradeship (Maurice Elvey, 1919) with Lily Elsie, and Anna the Adventuress (Cecil M. Hepworth, 1920) starring Alma Taylor. During the 1920s Gerald Ames appeared in such British films as the crime film Mr. Justice Raffles (Gaston Quiribet, 1921), The Woman Who Obeyed (Sidney Morgan, 1923) with Hilda Bayley and Stewart Rome, and the historical drama A Royal Divorce (Alexander Butler, 1926) starring Gwylim Evans as Napoleon, Gertrude McCoy as his wife Josephine, and Lillian Hall-Davis. He also directed himself in a number of films. In France, he appeared credited as Gérald Amès in the French-Austrian production La maison dans la forêt (Jean Legrand, 1922) with Constance Worth and Jean Angelo. He retired from the screen in 1928 after 72 silent films. He was also a regular stage actor who took on many leading roles in the theatre. Gerald Ames died in 1933 after falling down the steps of Knightsbridge tube station and suffering a heart attack. He was married to the actress Mary Dibley. He was only 51.

A prominent figure and multi-talented artist of the Lost Generation of Avant-Garde Americans in Paris in the 1920s, Gerald Murphy (Boston, 1888 - 1964) was known for painting everyday objects in flat, un-modulated colours. He later said that he was "nourished on Leger, Picasso, Braque, and Gris abstractions." He worked painstakingly, producing only a handful of finished works in the decade of the 1920s.

I don't get in the habit of naming wild animals. However this one is a regular, and a friend thought his name should be Gerald. Not sure why, exactly...
So cheers to Gerald! I'm glad he made it through hunting season so I can continue to photograph him when he stops by. There's lots more of him in my Whitetail album.
Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
Gerald Ford was Vice President to Richard Nixon until Nixon chose to retire in the wake of the Watergate scandal. Gerald Ford subsequently pardoned President Nixon even though Nixon was not facing any charges at the time. While Ford believed at the time that the pardon would put the matter to rest and allow the country to heal it did not. While he successfully completed President Nixon’s term President Ford was not re-elected. I recently visited the President Gerald Ford Library and Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In 1940, New Castle had its second "boomless" fourth of July following the banning of the sale of fireworks in Pennsylvania. Before the ban, as many as six people in the state would die every fourth of July as a result of accidentally blowing themselves up; since the ban, no one had. Firework injuries for the holiday were down from more than three thousand to fewer than a hundred. A success!
The state medical society, which had campaigned for the ban, was happy. The fire departments were happy. The police were happy. But 19-year-old Gerald A Schooley, drinking beer with his buddies late at night in the boringly boomless streets of downtown New Castle? I don't think he was happy at all.
In the early hours of the morning, Gerald set off on an inebriated trudge back to his home on Park avenue on the north hill. By 2, he'd reached Wallace avenue, a few blocks from his house, where, for some reason, it occurred to him to set off a fire alarm box. Minutes later, a fire truck showed up. When it was clear that there had been a false alarm, it drove back to town.
Gerald should have stopped there, but he didn't. Instead, it seems that he thought he might try to take things to a higher level.
Not long after the fire truck had returned to town, Mont Johnson of Reis street thought he heard someone doing something to his car, which was parked outside his house. As he went outside, he saw a man in white pants running off up an alley. Mysteriously, on the floor of his car was a pile of torn papers.
Then, Joseph McIlvenny of Boyles avenue, who had been awakened by the false alarm, looked out of his window and saw someone wearing white pants striking matches outside his garage. He called out, and the figure ran away.
Around the same time, E A Long, also of Boyles avenue, was woken up by his wife, who had heard a strange noise outside. He turned the light on and saw a man run out of the alley behind his house. Long's car appeared to have been pushed halfway out of his garage.
Then, at a quarter past 3, Leonard Peterson of Wallace avenue raised an alarm -- the garage behind his house was on fire. Firemen arrived to put out the flames, and the captain of the fire department called the police to say that the fire seemed to have been deliberately started inside one of the two cars inside the garage. The police sent a couple of cruisers up to patrol the neighbourhood.
Not long after they got there, a call came through that another garage, in the rear of Boyles avenue, was also on fire. Inside were two more cars, which were already totally destroyed. Before the firemen could get over there, a fifth car, parked in front of a house on Boyles avenue, burst into flames as well.
Happy fourth of July, New Castle! How's that for a firework display?
Two cops, Steiner and Harper, were standing on Boyles avenue, helplessly watching the burning car, when they heard someone running through some the bushes in a nearby garden. They followed the noise and saw a young man, dressed in a natty spotted shirt and white pants, running up to a house just around the corner, which he entered.
Gerald had finally made it home, but, of course, he didn't get to stay there for long.
At first, he denied he'd had anything to do with the fires, but by the time that Chief of Police McMullen came down to see him at city hall at half past 5 that morning, he'd obviously had some time to think things through, and he agreed to make a full confession. However, perhaps he was still drunk, because it seems that he failed to detect the flaws in his story.
According to Gerald, all he'd been trying to do was smoke a cigarette in peace.
On his walk home, he'd realised that he had no matches. He thought that he might find some inside a parked car and, sure enough, he did. However, then he found that he had some difficulty lighting his cigarette, so he thought he'd better sit down so he could concentrate on the task properly. It occurred to him that cars have seats, so he got into the next car he came to. When he took out his pack of cigarettes, he must have dropped some of the torn-up paper that he happened to have with him, but that didn't seem to be a problem. However, before he could light his cigarette, someone yelled at him and he had to run away. The same thing happened again and again -- every time he settled down in a car to try to light his cigarette and have a smoke, someone would yell and he'd have to move on. Sometimes, when they'd yelled, he'd been holding a lit match, and maybe he'd dropped one or two in his hurry to leave the cars. It was possible, he supposed, that those matches might have landed on any paper that might have dropped out of his pockets, and that might have started the fires.
It had all been a series of perfectly understandable accidents that could have happened to anyone.
The judge set bail at $3,000, which Gerald's parents paid, and, when the case came up in October that year, Gerald pled no contest to charges of arson. He was fined $825 to make good the damage he'd caused and given a two-year suspended sentence.
Of course, before those two years were up, America had entered the war and Private Gerald Schooley was in training to go to fight in Europe, where he probably saw enough fireworks to last him the rest of his life.
