we pranked the Boss today and it was fantastic!!! Mannequins in the closet and office, notes about quitting, hats on the animals, and more! :) I love my job!
I have appreciated the elegance, beauty, and quirkyness of her ever since I was a child. She just amazed me. I should have picked this up.. Darn it.
This short clip from a recently digitized home movie captures the end of a meeting with photographer Larry Burrows and writer Chuck Elliot on assignment for LIFE magazine to do a story on Dr. Gordon Seagrave and his hospital on a hill above Namkham, Burma (Myanmar). From left to right: Dr. Violet Poo Nya, Burrows, Elliot, and Seagrave. Dr. M. Donald Olmanson was behind the camera. Several months later, Dr. Seagrave, convinced that the LIFE article would not be published, complained in a letter that “The two Life boys came in through the back door from Bhamo after having been forbidden to come here by the Army and did land in jail and would have been kept there indefinitely except for my prestige at that time with the Army. Since Life came here not one single American has been allowed to come, not even the Ambassador. All kinds of excuses are given by the Army for not letting them come up here but undoubtedly the main reason has been Miss [Gloria] Emerson, CBS and Life. Our hospital ambulance and our hospital truck make frequent trips to Lashio and Bhamo. Other folks are shot up but our folks—knock on wood—are never shot up.”
The “Life boys” were sprung from jail and spent a couple weeks in Namkham. In a 5 December 1961 letter Dr. Olmanson wrote: “Two men from LIFE have been here the past week & will leave in another week. They are nice fellows & have been eating dinner here. Larry Burrows (an Englishman) is the photographer & Chuck Elliot (American) the writer. They are stationed in Hong Kong. Larry has done a story with Hemingway, been beaten up in the Congo and played games with King Faisal . . . They seem to like this place & may come up with a pretty good story.”
Burrows and Elliot were good house guests. They even fixed the Olmansons’ refrigerator. The LIFE article was finally published in January 1963, featuring photos taken by Larry Burrows.

Bookmark featuring vintage advertisement from a July 1970 LIFE magazine for some obscure, long dead liquor. This guy knows how to enjoy himself on a Saturday night, even if it's at home. A cocktail on the rocks dangles from the bookmark ribbon. The background is actually a lovely midnight blue semi-sparkling cardstock--but hard to see here.
