A great quote I found when walking down one of the streets - I wanted to remember it so I took a photo.

My mom is an inventor at heart. She needed a device to compress the coffee for her new espresso maker. She found a twig with just the right bend, et voila!

I played hooky today and spent the day with the inventor of the egg carton and refrigerator shipping (the same great lady!), the creator of Thanksgiving and Mary Had a Little Lamb (the same lady!), a signer of The Declaration of Independence, the voice of the Phillies, an Arctic explorer, Titanic victims and many many more! I spent the day at Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia. A cemetery on my visit wish list! One more off the list! I got to half of it. HALF! I missed some major monuments, but there was just no time! If you enjoy Victorian art, you must visit this cemetery…it’s more art garden than graveyard. So pick a nice day…bring along a picnic basket and make the day of it!
Laurel Hill Cemetery is a great cemetery. It would be a great thing if all cemeteries could be like Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia, PA. They get the community involved by having fun events (not just tours) in the cemetery itself. Folktales, music, balls, banquets…all in the cemetery. It’s exactly what the founders wanted. A city park that is open for all. There just happens to be people buried there, that’s all!
The following info was taken from www.thelaurelhillcemetery.org If you live in the Philadelphia area and have not checked out the great events at the cemetery, you must do so!
Picnics, strolls, carriage rides and sightseeing were popular pastimes in Laurel Hill’s early days, when “nearly 30,000 persons…entered the gates between April and December, 1848.” The site continues to remain a favored retreat for tourists, joggers, bicyclists, nature lovers, sketch artists and amateur photographers.
Laurel Hill is one of the few cemeteries in the nation to be honored with the designation of National Historic Landmark, a title received in 1998. Numerous prominent people are buried at the Cemetery, including many of Philadelphia’s leading industrial magnates. Names such as Rittenhouse, Widener, Elkins and Strawbridge certainly pique local interests, but Laurel Hill also appeals to a national audience. General Meade and thirty-nine other Civil War-era generals reside here, in addition to six Titanic passengers. As in its earliest days, Laurel Hill’s natural beauty and serenity continue to render it a bucolic retreat nestled within the city’s limits overlooking the Schuylkill River. This beautiful green space is further complemented by the breathtaking art, sculpture and architecture that can be found here. These are just some of the many attributes that render Laurel Hill Cemetery a primary destination for local and national visitors to the City of Brotherly Love.

History
In late 1835, John Jay Smith, a Quaker and librarian, recorded in his diary: “The City of Philadelphia has been increasing so rapidly of late years that the living population has multiplied beyond the means of accommodation for the dead…on recently visiting Friends grave yard in Cherry Street I found it impossible to designate the resting place of a darling daughter, determined me to endeavor to procure for the citizens a suitable, neat and orderly location for a rural cemetery.”
Smith’s very personal experience ultimately had very public implications, as less than one year later, this grieving father founded Laurel Hill Cemetery with partners Nathan Dunn, Benjamin W. Richards and Frederick Brown. When Smith conceived of Laurel Hill, he envisioned something fundamentally different from the burial places that came before it, and the site has continued to hold an important place of distinction as one of the first cemeteries of its kind. Key concepts to Laurel Hill’s founding were that it had to be situated in a picturesque location well outside the city; that it had no religious affiliation; and that it provided a permanent burial space for the dead in a restful and tranquil setting.

The inventor with one of his inventions: a t-shirt with the map of the Netherlands. So, when you have itch on your back, you can tell somebody where to scratch(Amsterdam, Utrecht or....).
I have this old 3D photo viewer and 3 photos. My favourite is this one, "A Born Inventor". There's no artist name just that Atlas Printing Co. of Chicago printed it.
If you look closely, the boy in the photo has come up with a great way to rock his younger brother or sister.
These viewers were very popular in the mid to late 1800's. They do a surprisingly good job making a 3D effect but it's impossible to duplicate it here.

The Post War Yarnold Sanger Guard Post is reminiscent of the World War II Norcon Pillbox it's made of cast concrete sections rather than sections of pipe. Named after it's inventor and manufactured by the Arc Co. The standard design consists of five sections, a floor, two blank sections, a loopholed section and a roof. Extra sections can be added for extra height or added loophole sizes. Halved wall sections can be added to provide a protective screen around the entrance. Banked up earth to loophole level with an access trench gave further protection. Normally a free standing sentry/guard post sited near gateways, they were often painted white, green or camouflage colours. They were used by all three forces, those who regularly stood on guard never complained of their vulnerability, but how cold they were inside !
RAF West Raynham was a Royal Air Force station located 2 miles west of the village of West Raynham in Norfolk, England, opened in the 1930's. RAF Bomber Command flew missions from RAF West Raynham during World War Two, with the loss of 86 aircraft. The station closed in 1994, though the Ministry of Defence retained it as a strategic reserve. Having laid derelict since closure, the MoD elected in 2004 that it was surplus to requirements, and the site was sold in 2006.
The site is now managed by FW Properties of Norwich, acting for administrators Moore Stevens. A number of the residential properties are now renovated and are either for sale or rental. On the technical site, Norfolk Oak from Anmer Hall, have acquired two of the large C-Type Hangars and the old World War Two Control Tower, which are currently being refurbished for use as a full manufacturing facility.
Built between 1938 and 1939, RAF West Raynham was an expansion scheme airfield, the grass landing area was aligned roughly north-east to south-west. The main camp, with housing and headquarters was located immediately west of the landing area, to the south-east were bomb stores. The airfield was originally equipped with a Watch Office with Tower (Fort Type) of pattern 207/36 (made from concrete) although the tower was later removed and a new Control Room built to pattern 4698/43. Later in the war the station was provided with a ''Control Tower for Very Heavy Bomber Stations'' to pattern 294/45, one of only four such towers to be built.
101 Squadron – a detachment of Bristol Blenheim which was part of 2 Group, moved to RAF West Raynham in May 1939. The only squadron based at RAF West Raynham, 101 Squadron were held in reserve by 2 Group until they were used as target tugs in February 1940. RAF West Raynham also acted as a temporary base for 18 and 139 Squadrons after they suffered losses in the Blitzkrieg. RAF Great Massingham was founded in 1940, just 2 miles from RAF West Raynham to act as a satellite base. It was originally intended to support RAF West Raynham and provide it with extra space for its Blenheim's, but eventually expanded to accommodate a squadron of its own.
On 4th July 1940, 101 Squadron saw action for the first time, individual aircraft attacked oil tanks in German ports. This went on for over a year, and during this time the squadron lost 15 Blenheims across 610 missions. No. 101 Squadron was transferred to 3 Group and consequently left RAF West Raynham. They were replaced by 114 Squadron, another detachment of Blenheim's, and were stationed at RAF West Rayham for over a year before they were despatched to North Africa as part of ''Operation Torch''.
The squadron converted to Blenheim Mk. V's in August 1942, in preparation for combat in Africa. No. 18 Squadron also went to RAF West Raynham to be refitted with Mk. V's. At this time, squadrons 180 and 342 were formed at RAF West Raynham. The 180 Squadron was equipped with North American B-25 Mitchell's and based at RAF Great Massingham which was associated with RAF West Raynham. Squadron 342 was provided with Douglas Boston's crewed by Frenchmen in early 1943, and was later relocated to RAF Sculthorpe.
Between May and November 1943, the grass landing area was replaced with two concrete runways, one 04-22 and 2,000 yards long and the other 10–28 1,400 yards. At the same time, the existing housing on the site was expanded to provide accommodation for 2,456 men and 658 women. In December 1943, the station was taken over by 100 Group, who brought 141 and 239 squadrons to RAF West Raynham.
They were equipped with de Havilland Mosquito, fighter aircraft which would provided support to bomber sorties in enemy air space. They were based at RAF West Raynham until the end of the war; their duties involved flying Serrate patrols and ''Ranger sorties'' (seek and destroy enemy fighters in the air and on the ground). During the war, squadrons stationed at RAF West Raynham lost 56 Blenheim's, 29 Mosquito's, and a Bristol Beaufighter.
