Article featuring my grandfather Florence Aloysius McCaffrey in Queens, New York - Don't know what paper or year as the clipping was by itself in family documents. Time frame: 1950 - 1961
This is like something out of the X-Files or Raiders of the Lost Ark. A hugely secure facility for a few hundred thousand boxes of old paper. It's a crazy world.
I don’t know whether you saw it on the weekend, but BBC Two broadcast a brilliant drama inspired by a true story about some front line soldiers who published a satirical newspaper during the First World War — called The Wipers times.
Penned by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman of Private Eye fame, the 90-minute production brought to life the story behind the trench magazine produced by British soldiers from the 12th Battalion Sherwood Foresters (Nottingham & Derbyshre Regiment), 24th Division.
The whole production really echoed the satirical, black humour behind the magazine with a real undercurrent of bravery and pluck displayed by the men who endured the awful conditions of trench warfare.

Professor Richard Edge B about 1875 Astley Lancashire, Died 1941 Toynton All Saints, Spilsby, Lincolnshire. He lived, a Batchelor, with his housekeeper Violet Claddingbowl who wrote to me about his life. I believe he was a pupil at Astley Grammar School, where he later became a teacher and was a friend of Lord Kitchener. He became Professor of Languages at both Manchester and Heidleberg Universities and was greatly troubled by the outbreak of WW2. He left a scholarship for any boy from Lancashire, having attended Astley or Ormskirk Grammar Schools, but this trust was practically unusable. In later life he was said to have wandered the lanes of Lincolnshire in his nightshirt, having become quite eccentric.
The photograph was a cover page from a book written by him (kept at Preston Records Office), which I rephotographed.
He was my first Cousin 2x removed.
Boccaccio a Perugia: la lettera autografa
Nell’autunno del 1962 Boccaccio si “materializza” a Perugia. Una lettera autografa dello scrittore fiorentino, l’unica nota in originale, viaggiata e non trascritta, riaffiora quasi miracolosamente dalla legatura cinquecentesca di un non meglio specificato documento del locale Archivio di Stato. La missiva (98 x 224 mm), insieme ad altro materiale manoscritto trecentesco, proviene dall’archivio della famiglia certaldese Del Chiaro, di professione cambiatori in Avignone.
Autore della scoperta è Roberto Abbondanza (1927-2009), allora giovane direttore dell’Archivio, il quale la individua dopo aver proceduto allo smontaggio di una copertina pergamenacea al cui interno essa era stata reimpiegata come semplice materiale cartaceo di rinforzo.
Testo della lettera:
[Poi d]i costà mi partii, t’ò scripto tre o vero quatro lettere con questa, né mai di niuna ebbi risposta, e perciò per questa poco t’ò a dire e questo è il ricordarti e pregarti che solleciti il privilegio il quale così pienamente ne promise messer Francesco Bruni, perciò che assai manifestamente veggio per improntitudine si conviene avere; e saprei volentieri novelle di te e de’ tuoi fratelli e come i vostri facti vanno, acciò che come amico mi rallegrassi con voi se ben vanno, come io credo. Oltre a cciò udirei volentieri come Lanzimanno re di Porta Ferruzza e ser Martino stanno, li quali ti priego da parte mia saluti; e facci [da]re la lettera che con questa tua è legata a Dato di Berto. Qua non ò al presente altro di nuovo, se non che si dice per fermo che pochi dì [?] fa messer Brasco duca di Spuleto sostenne in Ispuleto messer Anichino di Mongardo con da .XII. de’ suoi compagni, e ànnogli mandati presi in Monte Falcho; che s’intenda di fare di loro non so. Altro non t’ò ad scrivere per la presente, se non che io sono ad ogni tuo piacere apparecchiato; e a Dio ti comando sempre. Scripta in Certaldo, dì .XX. di maggio.
Il tuo Giovanni di Boccaccio
Nel verso: (mano di Boccaccio) Leonardo del Chiaro da Certaldo ne’ cambi in Vignone.

In October 1993 I got turned on to the NCSA Beginner's Guide to HTML. I learned it (the note in the corner is where I scribbled down the address I was going to use to launch a web site on a Mac SE/30).
Wow I cannot believe the NCSA yanked down the archive version. Those 404 bastards! There are some Google-able remnants..
This was not really a guide, it was a reference manual, and inspired me to create something a bit more instructional- Writing HTML (which is still available, nyaa nyaa)
Rincón de Colombia.
De visita en esta población ubicada en la amazonia colombiana me llama la atención un grupo de niños tímidos que jugaban y nos apuntaban con sus juguetes:( fusiles hechos de madera), ellos se escondían en sus casas o en enramadas para apuntarnos con los objetos. en un momento percibo que uno de los niños asciende a lo alto de un viejo tanque y cual francotirador empieza a apuntar. es curioso la carga tan grande que tenia esta imagen para mi, en ese instante fue fuerte y bello por su valor.
Analizo como en muchos lugares recónditos y olvidados de nuestra patria la única soberanía la imponen los grupos armados o personajes de turno que inculcan culturas y mañas de guerra en nuestra niñez, Colombia somos todos o por lo menos así debería ser, la imagen es clara.

Relação dos bens destruídos durante o ataque. Documento da Comissão Especial do Poder Legislativo, que realizou visita a área um dia após o ataque. O restante da lista está na imagem ao lado.
Converted to 2012 values, The senior clerical assistant would have earned a max salary of £17 000 and the highest paid audio typist £12 000 pa - she (in those days there was more gender division at work) would have typed out letters and other documents from an audio recording of the text that a manager would make (the equipment used varied from miniature cassette tapes to magnetic disks or in big offices centralised systems linked to the internal telephones). Today managers are expected to do a lot of their own typing!
Today Barton Road is still used by UK Power Networks (EPN) who look after the electricity supply infrastructure in the East of England (as well as the old LEB and SEEBOARD areas).
Nancy Barton was born 25 Mar 1874 in North Carolina, and died 5 June 1967 in Ellijay, Gilmer County, Georgia. She was married to a veteran of the Civil War, James Wiley Pankey (born 27 November 1835 in Murray Co., Georgia; died 17 July 1932 in Tails Creek, Gilmer County, Georgia). The two married on 1 November 1906 (apparently; location unknown).
Although the story of Nancy Pankey saving the old log church (Ridgeway Baptist Church) in Ellijay is well known, the story of her watching her husband come home from the War could not be so. She was born almost ten years after the end of the Civil War. If Nancy told this to Celestine Sibley, she must have misremembered an incident. Perhaps she saw other soldiers as a child. Perhaps she saw a parade or a Civil War veterans reunion. Perhaps Celestine Sibley embellished her story with an assumption.
The date of this clipping is unknown, but it must have been mid-June 1967. Celestine Sibley wrote a column for the Atlanta Journal Constitution for many years, and this might be from that newspaper.
The clipping belonged to Mary Lizzie Dove Pritchett Carter, of Chatsworth, Georgia, niece of Nancy Pankey. Dove's grandmother was Elizabeth A. Pankey, wife of David Wesley Pritchett.
