Conant Brodribb produced 59 issues of his 'Demi-Griffin Descant' between 1980 and 1997. It started as an A6 card printed on the Adana HQ, usually in his favoured Bembo and Blado, but switched to A5 done on a Sharp Fontwriter as health problems made letterpress difficult.
Even in this small format, Conant fitted in a fascinating mixture of typographic antiquarianism, linguistic musings and a fair bit of beautifully expressed grumpy-old-man grumbling about the modern world. I loved it.

This was the race where allegedly Fangio allowed Moss to win after being leader for so long as he realised how much that would mean to Moss to win his home GP...whether that be true or not it would be typical of Fangio who apart from being the dominant force in motor racing then was also a great sportsman....Anyway Moss won with Fangio 2nd,Kling 3rd and Tarulli 4th all driving Mercedes Benz...Fangio went on to be world champion that season.

The memorial was created on the initiative of Manchester's Polish community, who not only funded it but had to go to great lengths to persuade the local council to grant the required planning permission. The memorial is located next to Princess Parkway, in an area in which there are many Polish graves.
The Katyń massacre ("zbrodnia katyńska" in Polish) was the mass murder of approximately 22000 Polish nationals carried out by the Soviet secret police (NKVD) in April and May 1940. The massacre was prompted by a proposal (dated 5th March 1940) from Lavrentiy Beria, Minister of Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, to execute all members of the Polish Officer Corps who had been captured and imprisoned by the USSR during the Nazi-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939. This official document was approved and signed by the Soviet Politburo, including its leader Joseph Stalin.
As well as approximately 8000 officers of the Polish army, the victims of the Katyń massacre included 6000 police officers and thousands of university lecturers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, civic leaders, politicians, government officials, priests and other members of the "bourgeoisie" who had been targeted for arrest following the Soviet occupation of eastern Poland.
By physically eliminating Poland’s military and civilian elites, Stalin wanted to decapitate the Polish nation and ensure it was less able to resist the enforced Sovietisation of the occupied Polish territories.
The victims were all citizens of Poland, but not all were ethnically Polish - for example, the murdered army officers included Ukrainians, Belarusians and several hundred Jews, among them Baruch Steinberg, the Chief Rabbi of the Polish army. The majority were interned at three Soviet camps (Kozielsk, Starobielsk and Ostaszków) before being taken to NKVD mass murder sites, where they were executed and buried in mass graves.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baruch_Steinberg
Although the killings took place at several different locations in Soviet Russia, Ukraine and Belarus, the massacre is named after the Katyń forest in the Smolensk Oblast of western Russia where the graves of the Kozielsk prisoners were discovered in 1943. The exact fate of the other victims and the location of their graves was not confirmed until five decades later. After the discovery of the Katyń burial site the USSR denied responsibility for the massacre and tried to blame it on the Germans, and continued to lie about the killings for 50 years until finally admitting Soviet guilt in 1990 and revealing where the remaining victims were buried.
It eventually became possible to exhume and identify the bodies from the mass murder sites at Charków (Kharkiv), where the NKVD murdered the prisoners who were interned at Starobielsk, and Miednoje (Mednoye), where the NKVD murdered the prisoners who were interned at Ostaszków - as well as other locations such as Bykownia (Bykivnia).
Most of the Ostaszków prisoners were killed by Beria's chief executioner Vasily Blokhin, who was awarded the Order of the Red Banner by Stalin at the end of April 1940 for demonstrating "skill and organisation in the effective carrying out of special tasks".
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasily_Blokhin
Although several other ex-members of the NKVD eventually confessed to participating in the Katyń massacre, none of the perpetrators were ever brought to justice, and neither the Soviet government nor successive governments of Russia have ever permitted a full investigation of this war crime.
There's also no shortage of vatniks, tankies and other useful idiots out there who are still in denial about it, even though claims that the murders were carried out by the Germans have zero credibility and have been comprehensively debunked (it's actually impossible for the Polish prisoners interned at Ostaszków - who disappeared without trace in 1940 and whose bodies were found in Miednoje in 1991 - to have been captured, killed and buried by the Germans, who never reached either of these locations in Russia at any time during World War 2)....

Dear Sister Lucile; [Sept. 18, 1922]
Your favor of the 14th inst is at hand.
In a crisis such as we are now passing speech is silver, but silence is gold. I have been on the alert to hear every item of news as to the critical condition of my baby brother. In silent meditation I have spent much time in the caverns of sacred memory. I have lived over with him many scenes of childhood days. I derive profit in contemplating the limitations of early life and the broadening of our vision and fields of labor in which we found ourselves in later years. I mean we Benscoter boys.
In the sunset of life I feel jealous of my baby brother in that his prospects of reaching life's goal is in excess of mine. I would enjoy a visit with him, but can't think of making the trip in my present condition.
If without disturbing his peace of mind you can bear to him my Brotherly affection I wish you would do so. I hoped during the last two years you would be able to visit us. We expected this: but we can now see that it could not be worked out.
We then realized the fatality of his trouble, and suffering, alas it has come on too soon to make amends. His favorite hymn has been one of mine for many years; Years ago when it was my privilege to embark on a steamer and sail out on the Pacific Ocean beyond the sight of land in the midst of an ordinary storm I caught sight of the "Wideness of the sea" as never before, and since then I have been better able to measure God's mercy, or rather better to comprehend this his wonderful kindness in his dealings with stubborn humanity.
I can scarcely realize that life is so near over: It is like a dream -- a passing cloud. My hope is in the wonderful Savior of which we boys learned by precept and example in our early home. We are living in a crucial age: the war is still on; the strife is too much for me to combat; this is for the new generation and what that outcome shall be none can forsee.
I hope my dear brother will remember the "faith of our father" and mother brothers and sisters and expect to meet them and recognise them on his passing through the gate. They are waiting to greet us sure.
I will see to it that your letter reaches W.B & [?} all are interested and anxious.
I think you are wise in going back if able to move to Tenn. We are strangers in Luz Co. Pa. It is only a place of memory, sacred memory. I think I have made my last visit there.
Very truly the Patriarch
C.C. Benscoter

(13th September) is my 21st birthday and I thought about doing this page a little differently. Obviously because it's my birthday, I've aged and time is passing.
So I decided to take some wrapping paper, ribbons, plastic, tiny parts of envelopes &tissue paper and take a colourful memento of my 21st birthday!
The Wrap This Page is from a friend of mine who is also working her way through her WTJ.
I thought the idea was pretty need and subtle. It means a lot to me and that's all that counts.
