Weathervane Playhouse presents
"Three Tall Women"
A drama by Edward Albee
Directed by Bill Morgan
Presented live on stage at Weathervane Playhouse in Akron, Ohio, from Oct. 27 to Nov. 12, 2011
From the celebrated playwright of "Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" comes this thoughtful meditation on the complicated gap between age and experience. Three women – one a 90-something-year-old, one a 52-year-old one a 26-year-old – navigate the emotional terrain of a life mixed with pleasure, satisfaction, shame and regret.
The play’s three female characters are nameless. Instead, the playwright identifies the women only by the letters A, B and C.
"A" is an elderly woman who knows that the end of her life is approaching quickly. "B" is A’s 52-year-old caretaker, a slightly sarcastic yet caring woman. "C" is a boldly self-confident 26-year-old who has come from A’s attorney’s office to discuss the elder woman’s finances.

1891 Census of England and Wales
The 7 year old George Morley, born Lakenheath, Suffolk, was recorded living at a dwelling on Anchor Lane, Lakenheath. This was the household of his parents, Edward, (aged 39, a General Labourer, born Lakenheath) and Rebecca, (aged 38, Born Lakenheath). As well as George their other children living with them are:-
William…..aged 13….born Lakenheath….Agricultural Labourer
Ernest…….aged 9……born Lakenheath
Elizabeth…aged 4……born Lakenheath
“Voilet”….aged 2…….born Lakenheath
1901 Census of England and Wales
The Morley family were still living on Anchor Lane. Along with parents Edward, (48) and Rebecca, (46), children still single and living at home are William, (23, Ordinary Agricultural Labourer), Ernest E, (19, Ordinary Agricultural Labourer), George, (17, Ordinary Agricultural Labourer), Elizabeth, (14), Violet, (12), Lily, (9), Charles, (6) and Alice, (4) – all born Lakenheath.
His future wife, the 12 year old Mary Mole, born Croxton, Norfolk, was recorded living at a dwelling on Watton Road, Croxton, Norfolk. This was the household of her uncle and aunt, Stephen Linge (44, Gamekeeper, born Thetford) and Emily Linge, (44, born Croxton). As well as a 1 year old son of their own, also in the household is Stephens’ step-son Albert Mole, (aged 18, an Agricultural Labourer, born Croxton). Mary however is shown as a niece of the couple.
1908 – Marriage
The marriage of a George Morley to a Mary Ann Mole was recorded in the Thetford District of Norfolk in the April to June quarter, (Q2), of 1908.
1911 Census of England and Wales
The 27 year old George Morley, a Fruit Farm Labourer, was recorded as the married head of the household at Cemetey Road, Lakenheath, (the census enumerator has shown the address as Mill Road, Lakenheath, although that may be the address the form was originally sent to). He lives there with his wife of 2 years, Mary Ann, (aged 22, born Croxton, Suffolk). So far the couple have had just the one child, and as yet unnamed daughter who was then just a month old.
His widowed mother, the 57 year old Rebecca, was recorded as the head of the household at Anchor Lane. Although this was the first census in England and Wales intended to be completed by the householder, in this case someone else has completed it on her behalf as the declaration has been signed with an “X” (her mark). Rebecca supports herself by Charing. Still single and living with her are her children Charles, (16, Farm Labourer) and Alice, (14, help on farm).
Until September 1911 the quarterly index published by the General Registrars Office did not show information about the mothers maiden name. A check of the General Registrars Office Index of Birth for England and Wales 1911 – 1983 shows three possible additional children of George and Mary, all recorded in the Mildenhall District, all with mothers maiden name Mole. (Note with the daughter on the 1911 that would give the four children referenced in the original caption to the photograph.)

On the day
31st July 1917 - Day 1
The Battle of Passchendaele
18th Division
53 Bde
53 Bde’s task was to leapfrog 30th Div once Glencorse Wood had been taken.
8th Bn, Suffolk Regt arrived in Jackdaw Trench at 8.10am to find Glencorse Wood still in enemy hands despite reports to the contrary. They dug in near Clapham Junction. Meanwhile 6th Bn, Berkshire Regt bogged down on the Menin Road also under fire from Glencorse Wood. With the help of 79 Coy, RE they destroyed some pill boxes between road and wood. Five tanks sent to assist bogged down in mud and were destroyed by shell-fire. By 10am they had dug in at the cross roads north west of Glencorse Wood.

Page 239 - 241 “The History of the Suffolk Regiment 1914-1927” by Lieutenant-Colonel C.C.R.Murphy
The battles of Ypres of 1917 began on the last day of July, the main blow being delivered by four Army Corps of the Vth Army, under General Sir Hubert Gough, attacking on a front of nearly eight miles. The front allotted to the IInd Corps (Lieut.-General Sir Claude Jacob) to which the 8th Battalion, belonged, extended from the Menin road to the Zillebeke-Zandvoorde road. This difficult stretch of country, especially the part when the Menin road crosses the ridge, was perhaps on the whole the scene of the most desperate fighting in the opening battle, although the depth of the British advance was greatest in the direction of Langemarck.
The intention was that as soon as the 30th Division had gained the Black Line, the 18th Division who were in support should go through them and carry on. The 53rd Brigade (Brig.-General H.W. Higginson) were then to attack the Green Line, and, if the situation developed favourably, the Red Line also. The 8th Battalion reached its assembly positions about 2 a.m. on July 31st, and by zero hour (3.50 a.m.) had established its headquarters at Wellington Crescent. During the latter stages of this move, enemy shells set fire to some dumps and a tank, lighting up the ground with remarkable effect. As “C” Company was passing through Zillebeke a shell burst amongst them, killing and wounding several of the men.
The troops of the attacking division, which the 53rd Brigade were to leapfrog when the first objective was taken, moved forward between the 8th and 24th Division. The 8th Suffolks and 6th Royal Berkshire Regiments, ready and expectant, waited for the front-line reports that would tell them the way was clear for their advance. “By a tragic mistake the 30th Divisional infantry wheeled to their left and assaulted Chateau wood instead of Glencorse wood. The misleading information that Glencorse wood was in our hands caused the 53rd Brigade to plunge into a fatal gap. One of the Suffolks’ scouts met, near the Menin road, an officer of the 17th Manchesters who reported that Glencorse wood had been captured. Contradiction came from Lieut. R.C. Bolingbroke who, before being wounded, penetrated as far as the line of the first objective. Bolingbroke reported that the enemy was still holding ground west of Glencorse wood.” (Source cited “History of the 18th Division” (Blackwood)).
Early in the morning Lieut. Bolingbroke went forward with the battalion scouts to clear Sanctuary wood and place signposts to guide the companies. They came under fire from a corner of the wood, Cpl. Fletcher being twice wounded. This was the work of a daring sniper, who did much damage before he was killed. Soon after 6 a.m. Lieut. Bolingbroke sent back a message to say 30th Division were on the north side of the Menin road, an in Chateau wood.
As the troops advanced a barrage was encountered in the splintered remains of Sanctuary wood, on the further edge of which they came under a destructive machine-gun and rifle fire. A platoon of “B” Company, under Lieut. Chibnall, was the first to get up to Lieut. Bolingbroke. These two officers decided to attack the second line (Surbiton Villa) with such troops as they could collect, and without waiting for support. The line was taken, Lieut. Chibnall and Sgt. J. Mason, M.M., being killed, and Lieut. Bolingbroke wounded, at the head of the platoon. In the course of the severe fighting in the vicinity of Surbiton Villa, Pte. F.J. Read with a small party of “A” Company (Major H.A. Angier, M.C.) rushed a German machine-gun, killing the whole team.
The battalion got on to the Menin road near Clapham Junction and advanced several hundred yards beyond it, where they were checked and forced to take up a line of shell-holes. The attack practically finished here, as by this time the enemy were in great strength round Glencorse wood. While Major Fache was crawling up the Menin road with a runner, a cock pheasant alighted about fifty yards ahead of them, though shells were dropping everywhere. The runner shot the bird, carrying it out of action at the end of his rifle with great pride. It was possibly not the first time he had killed game without a licence.
By this time all our tanks had been put out of action. The battalion having advanced altogether nearly a mile and made a hard but availing fight to get still further, now dug themselves in. Thus ended, as far as the 8th Battalion was concerned, the battle of Pilckem Ridge, in which they sustained 177 casualties including the following officers:-
Killed: Lieut. R.S. Chibnall; 2nd Lieuts J.D. Wheeler and A.C. Savage.
Wounded: Captain G.L. Crandon, M.C.; Lieut. R.C. Bolingbroke, M.C., D.C.M.; and 2nd Lieuts W. Brown and L.C. Rae, the last named remaining at duty.

BEDFORD HOUSE CEMETERY
Location Information
Bedford House Cemetery is located 2.5 Km south of Ieper town centre. The cemetery lies on the Rijselseweg (N336), the road connecting Ieper to Armentieres.
Historical Information
Zillebeke village and most of the commune were in the hands of Commonwealth forces for the greater part of the First World War, but the number of cemeteries in the neighbourhood bears witness to the fierce fighting in the vicinity from 1914 to 1918.
Bedford House, sometimes known as Woodcote House, were the names given by the Army to the Chateau Rosendal, a country house in a small wooded park with moats. Although it never fell into German hands, the house and the trees were gradually destroyed by shell fire. It was used by field ambulances and as the headquarters of brigades and other fighting units, and charcoal pits were dug there from October 1917.
In time, the property became largely covered by small cemeteries; five enclosures existed at the date of the Armistice, but the graves from No.1 were then removed to White House Cemetery, St. Jean, and those from No.5 to Aeroplane Cemetery, Ypres.
ENCLOSURE No.2 was begun in December 1915, and used until October 1918. After the Armistice, 437 graves were added, all but four of which came from the Ecole de Bienfaisance and Asylum British Cemeteries, both at Ypres.
In all, 5,139 Commonwealth servicemen of the First World War are buried or commemorated in the enclosures of Bedford House Cemetery. 3,011 of the burials are unidentified but special memorials commemorate a number of casualties known or believed to be buried among them. Other special memorials name casualties buried in other cemeteries whose graves could not be found on concentration. Second World War burials number 69 (3 of which are unidentified). There are 2 Germans buried here.

+++ DISCLAIMER +++
Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Dassault-Breguet Super Étendard (trans. "battle flag") is a French carrier-borne strike fighter aircraft designed by Dassault-Breguet for service with the French Navy. The aircraft was an advanced development of the Étendard IVM, the first of three prototypes, an IVM modified with the new engine and some of the new avionics, made its maiden flight on 28 October 1974. Original intentions were for 100 Super Étendard aircraft to be ordered for the French Navy, however the order placed was for 60 of the new model with options for a further 20; further budget cuts lead to only 71 Super Étendards being purchased in the end for the Aéronavele, with deliveries starting in June 1978.
In the first year of production, 15 Super Étendards were produced for the French Navy, allowing the formation of the first operational squadron in 1979. Dassault produced the aircraft at a rough rate of two per month, which was kept up until 1983.
Foreign customers were few: The Argentinian Navy would place an order for 14 aircraft to meet their requirements for a capable new fighter that could operate from their sole aircraft carrier. Furthermore a total of five Super Étendards were loaned to Iraq in 1983 while the country was waiting for deliveries of Agave-equipped Dassault Mirage F1s, capable of launching Exocet missiles that had been ordered. A third user of the Super Étendard with a similar background to the Iraq solution was the German Navy, with its land-based air arm, called the Marineflieger.
In the late 70ies, the German air force was about to replace its Starfighters, which had never been the Marinefliegers' first choice. Actually, in 1958 Germany chose the Starfighter to replace the already outdated F-84 and F-86 versions in use by then. For political reasons the Marineflieger had to join this decision, though their demands were quite different. The German Navy was looking for a two-seat, twin-engined aircraft to replace the old Seahawks, with the Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer being their favourized aircraft.
Neverthless, a rather political decision to buy the Starfighter for both German air arms was made, and consequently total of 132 Starfighters were acquired for naval service, including F-104G as maritime attack aircraft (equipped with Kormoran anti-ship missiles), RF-104G for maritime reconaissance and TF-104G as trainers. In addition to this, a small number of two-seat F-104F saw operational use with the Navy's Jet Air Wings. Introduction of the F-104 into naval air arm service began in september 1963, with MFG 1 being the first unit to be equipped with Germany's new standard weapon system. Sister Wing MFG 2 joined the Starfighter club in march of the following year.
Anyway, almost 20 years later and with the advent of the Panavia Tornado, the Marineflieger would finally receive the aircraft they had originally been calling, and the F-104Gs were starting to be phased out from 1980 on. Production of the Tornado and its delivery to both Luftwaffe (which had priority) and Marineflieger wings was lagging behind schedule, though, and in order to bridge that gap Germany decided in Febraury 1981 to lease the relatively new French Super Étendard. The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and LTV A-7 Corsair II had been considered, too, but the French type eventually turned out to be the most economical and modern solution.
A total of 16 aircraft were ordered, and these were diverted from the running production lines. Delivery started in early 1982, when the scheduled Starfighter retirement and replacement was about to begin. All machines are allocated to MFG 2. In parallel, MFG 1 had the honours to be the first Bundeswehr unit to be equipped with the Tornado IDS multirole aircraft, as they started conversion in 1982. Before that, the multi-national conversion units in the UK had already received the initial Tornado trainer aircraft since 1980.
The German Super Étendards were given the tactical codes of 42+01 to 42+16 and were originally delivered in the standard Marineflieger camouflage of uniform grey upper surfaces (RAL 7012, Basaltgrau) and light grey lower sides (RAL 7035, Lichtgrau), in a pattern that was identical to the French aircraft.
Outwardly the German Super Étendards did not differ from its French cousins, since the aircraft were to be given back after only a few years of use - it was planned to keep the French fighters until 1986, when all Starfighters would have been replaced by Tornados. The Marineflieger "Sue" (nicknamed "Susi" or "Suse" by German crews, an abbreviation of the German female first name "Susanne") had no special features, as these were more or less French stock aircraft, but some components and avionics were changed.
For instance, the German aircraft were modfied to carry and launch up to two AS.34 Kormoran missiles, and they were already prepared to carry the updated Kormoran 2 with a digital data bus, a bigger warhead and longer range. They were also able to carry indigenous equipment like the 'Cerberus' ECM pod or the Swedish BOZ-101 chaff/flare pod - both of these as well as the Kromoran 2 were also to carried by the Tornados, and the Super Étendards would already be used fotr practice and evaluation.
The new AGM-88 HARM missile was reserved for the Tornado, though, so that the Super Étendard was primarily tasked with anti-ship and CAS tasks. For self-defense, the German Super Étendards were able to carry the AIM-9 Sidewinder instead of the French Matra Magic AAM. An Orpheus IV reconnaissance pod could be carried on thone of the inner wing pylons, with a drop tank for balance on the other side.
In the course of their short German service (which actually lasted until 1987, when the last Starfighter was retired from Marineflieger service), the Super Étendards were also used to test experimental camouflage schemes. 42+10, 42+12 and 42+15 started to carry very different liveries from 1983, and the results eventually lead to the Marineflieger Tornados' 'Norm 87' wrap-around paint scheme, consisting of RAL 7009 (Grüngrau), 7012 (Basaltgrau) and 5008 (Graublau).
No aircraft was lost during the leasing service. All aircraft were, after a major overhaul, integrated into the Aéronavale from 1988 on.

The kit and its assembly:
The idea for this model was inspired by a profile designed by fellow user PantherG at whatifmodelers.com, showing a German Super Étendard in a fictional Marineflieger style paint scheme. I've been fascinated by the Tornado's Norm '87 scheme - but rather not by the Tornado itself. So I was happy to have an "excuse" to build a respective what-if model, taking a virtual idea to hardware.
The model is the standard Academy Super Étendard in 1:72, which is well-detailed - only the cockpit can take some attention, esp. the ejection seat, which I replaced completely, and I also added a Matchbox pilot which had to have its legs cut off, since the cockpit seems to be designed for Asian body measures... pretty tight in there!
Basically the kit was kept OOB. Only changes were made to the ordnance, which was taken from a German Tornado (Italeri). I also drilled open the air brakes' holes under the fuselage, and lowered the flaps for a more lively look. Overall, the Sue is rather clean and not really interesting - so any additional detail helps, I guess.
Painting and markings:
This took some legwork, since I wanted to stay true to reality, despite creating a whif.
The tactical code 42+XX has so far never been allocated to a German aircraft type, but it would perfectly fit in time before the Tornado (which has 43+XX and higher numbers).
The paint scheme is supposed to be experimental - and actually both Luftwaffe and Marineflieger had been testing tactical camouflage schemes for air superiority as well as ground attack purposes on a wide range of aircraft in the 70ies and 80ies, including F-4F, RF-4E, Alpha Jets and later also Tornados. Anyway, I decided to stay close to the "real" Norm 87 scheme, which is a bit different from what PantherG suggested in his drawings.
The colors I used are authentic: RAL 7009 "Grüngrau" is Revell 67, RAL 7012 "Basaltgrau" is Revell 77 and RAL 5008 "Graublau" is available as Xtracolor X264. Consulting real RAL color samples as benchmarks, I muist say that the Revell tones are very good, but the Xtracolor paint is pretty far off. X264 is rather a dark petrol blue, reminiscent of FS35042. Graublau is much more dull and grey-ish, rather a bluish FS36081 - and on real aircraft it almost looks like tar, no blue hue at all to detect.
Anyway, I still used X264, since my 42+15 would sport an experimental paint scheme, so it would not matter much - and X264 would still be the darkest tone of the paint scheme, with good contrast to RAL 7009 and 7012, which are very similar and have almost no contrast. Interesting scheme, though, esp. due to its large color bandages all around the hull instead of smaller patches or stripes.
Best alternative I could find is Humbrol 77, which is still too greenish, though - mixing it 1:1 with Humbrol 32 might yield something that comes close to RAL 5008.
With a little shading with lighter tones (including RLM 71 from Testors, Humbrol 79 and 77, as well as some acryllic dark grey as an overall filter), a black ink wash and some dry-brushing the contrast was enhanced and the surface slightly weathered. German aircraft were kept in good shape, but at times the weather and sunlight would take their toll and bleach the colors, esp. on the upper sides - RAL 7012 would quickly deteriorate into a relatively light grey with a slight, purple hue!
Both Cerberus and BOZ-101 pods were painted in different shades of grey, though, as if they'd belong to a differently camouflaged Marineflieger aircraft. The Kormoran missiles were painted according to pics of the real thing, in a dark olive drab color.
National markings and some German stencils were taken from an Xtradecal sheet for German Tornados, as well as from a sheet of an Italeri Tornado with Luftwaffe markings. The tactical codes were created from single digits from a respective TL Modellbau decal sheet.
Cockpit interior was painted in a very dark grey, according to pictures from the real Sue. The air intake interior and the landing gear wells were kept in aluminum (Humbrol 56), while the landing gear struts received a mix of aluminum and white.
In the end, a simple project: only a fantasy paint scheme and some minor changed details to the OOB kit. But the German wraparound scheme suits the Sue well, and its service introduction in France as well as the retirement of the German Starfighters in the early 80ies makes this a potentially convincing and plausible whif. And, honestly, it was actually a relief from some recent major kit conversions and kitbashings - and a tribute to the creative spirit of PantherG at whatifmodelers.com. ^^

With a badge that carried the slogan - Americas First Car, the Haynes Automobile Company can trace its car making history back to 1898 when the company, formerly known as Haynes-Apperson company was established in Kokomo, Indiana, by brothers Edgar Apperson, Elmer Apperson and Elwood Haynes. Elwood Haynes was a talented metallurgist who invented a very special stainless steel alloy called Stellite which is still used to this day on the space shuttle to this day, he approached the Apperson Brothers to build his first car. The cars were powered by 5 HP engines while the heavy parts were made of aluminium alloy.
In 1905 the Apperson brothers left the company to form Apperson Brothers Automobile Company. Elwood Haynes remained renaming the old company simply the Haynes Automobile Co. from 1914,
Haynes offered a Light Six at $1485. Their ads boasted that it was, - The result of 22 years successful experience in building motor Haynes also proclaimed it Americas greatest light six, and that it will travel 22 to 25 miles on one gallon of gas and has more than 1 horsepower to every 55 pounds of weight.
For 1916 Haynes introduced the twelve cylinder Light Twelve, sold alongside a refined Light Six in the guise of Models 36 and 37
1923 saw the introduction of the 57, with a 121 inch wheelbase in five-seat four-door sedan, three-seat coupelet, and two-seat roadster advertised as being complete with front and rear bumpers, six disc (as opposed to wire) wheels, wind wings, sun visors, artistically fashioned individual steps (for the running boards), and individual fenders
But the end was in sight, Haynes Automobiles was declared bankrupt in 1924 and went out of business in 1925.
Haynes was a relatively expensive make, film star Cleo Madison drove a Haynes Light Six as did composer Louis F. Gottschalk .
In 1915 a Haynes 50-60 Model Y Touring Car achieved notoriety when it was featured in what has been called the worlds oldest known pornographic film - A Free Ride
