Commissioner Roger Hartsell of the Maricopa County Superior Court was recently assigned to the division I work in (Family Court), and today he let me photograph some of his baseball memorabilia, with which he decorates his new office. This is the cover of the June 25, 1956 issue of Life magazine, with Mickey Mantle on the cover. That was his favorite year, and for good reason, as the 1956 season ended with him winning the Triple Crown (52 home runs, .363 batting average, 130 RBI). That is a rare accomplishment, and Frank Robinson (1966) and Carl Yastrzemski (1967) are the only players who have achieved the feat since the Mick did it 51 years ago.
Note the other articles highlighted on the cover. One was about Yugoslavia's President Tito, who was considered a maverick among Communist leaders in eastern Europe. And 1956 was also a Presidential election year in the United States; here Lyndon Johnson, who would be elected Vice-President in 1960 and succeed to the Presidency under tragic circumstances three years after that, is referred to as a Southern dark-horse.
Meanwhile, in 1956 I was all of three years of age, and unaware of any of this, although all of it would be of great interest to me as I grew older.
This past weekend my EVERYONE COULD USE A HERO fine-art exhibition had been blessed by non-other than the incomparable and enigmatic entrepreneur and brand strategist (oh, did I mention a Millionaire by the ripe old age of fourteen) and also Author of the New York Times bestseller top ten listed self-realization book entitled: REALLIONAIRE!!! This was Royalty right here. I was humbled by the surprise visit. (peace, Dr. Farrah)...

Representing hope and freedom, a 25 foot, 6,000 pound statue named, UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER, by world-renowned artist, J. Seward Johnson, is a three-dimensional interpretation of a photo taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt of a Sailor, Carl Muscarello, kissing a nurse, Edith Shain, in Times Square, New York City on Aug. 14, 1945, following the announcement of V-J Day.
Edith Shain, the nurse memorialized in Eisenstaedt’s photo, states, "There is so much romance in the statue; it gives such a feeling of hope to all who look at it."
“This statue brings back so many memories of peace, love and happiness. During the moment of the kiss I don’t remember much, it happened so fast and it happened at the perfect time. I didn’t even look at the Sailor who was kissing me,” Shain continued. “I closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment like any woman would have done.”
For the next year, the sculpture will stand next to the USS Midway Museum on the San Diego Bay. It was previously displayed in New York City in 2005 and Sarasota, Florida in 2006.

Even though it was before my time, the life and assassination of the late President John F. Kennedy interests me. I love biographies and so, it is natural for me.
I love to look at photos of him, Jackie, and their children when they were young with innocent faces untouched by the marks and horrors of their future lives.
We inherited all the magazines and newspapers of JFK’s presidency, the assassination, and the aftermath. The other day, I was thumbing through them, after reading they are going to re-examine JFK’s remains, and found this photograph of John Kennedy, which is now my favorite.
For some reason, it made me cry deeply. I actually sobbed. It made me feel as if what awaited him is written in small print in some corner of this photo. His destiny had already been set. Even the direction of his hair is blowing where he got shot the second time from the 2nd gunman, Oswald. Spooky, oui?
He looks so carefree, young and handsome walking along the dunes…something I used to love to do when I was little and we had a summer home on Cape Cod. My parents, I know were watching me, but I used to pretend I was alone, just walking, wandering, imagining, and thinking thoughts of this or that while smelling the ocean and feeling the breeze blow through my hair. I loved the cloudy days best.
When I look at this photo, I like to think John Kennedy is doing the same thing. If he was, well, then, despite the years, we have something in common.
