Auto literature giant Bob Johnson dies; business to close
Photos by the author.
Bob Johnson wasn't too happy about posing for the vertical portrait that I had to take of him. He wasn't too happy about me taking photos of him behind the scenes at his auto literature business in the first place, but while he put up with the latter for the sake of a good article, he pleaded with me not to take the portrait.
I knew why. He knew I knew why. Bob had contracted juvenile rheumatoid arthritis when he was two years old, stunting his growth. As an adult, he would top out at about five feet three inches and, though perfectly mobile and independent, still displayed deformities from the sickness. He didn't exactly hide his condition – he would personally man his tent at the Hershey and Carlisle swap meets every year, after all – but he didn't parade it around either. More than that, though, I could see that he simply felt more comfortable among his crates and shelves of automotive literature. Bob seemed to live for cataloging auto paper, as he called it. He got more pleasure out of placing the right brochures and catalogs with his longtime customers than he did staring into the lens of a camera; he wanted to talk paper with somebody else genuinely interested in it more than he wanted to talk just to hear his own voice.
Bob, as I came to find out while hanging with him for the day, hadn't always been into collectible automotive literature. Always an entrepreneur, he had started buying and selling old car parts in the mid-1980s to finance his old car hobby and got into literature on a suggestion from one of his contacts in the hobby. That side business turned into a full-fledged livelihood in 1986, when he bought the entire Nat Adelstein literature collection and moved the 60 tons of paper to an old factory building in his hometown of Framingham, Massachusetts. Within a decade, he'd added so much more literature to his inventory that the weight of it began to bend 12-inch wooden floor beams, forcing him to move to an old foundry in Framingham with three-foot-thick reinforced concrete floors.
Still, he amassed more literature and automobilia, almost more than he knew what to do with. He bought large and small collections alike and would even buy individual pieces when something caught his eye; when I visited, he had plenty of overflow in miscellaneous boxes in some of the aisles and told me that he had a Dumpster outside that he continually filled with excess literature he couldn't use or sell. He also amassed friends throughout the collector car hobby, mostly by treating his customers equally: He'd keep an eye out for trends and for rare items for the hardcore collectors, but he'd also stop to help the casual old car enthusiast just looking for a paint chip chart or upholstery sample book from a particular model year to finish off a car's restoration. And, we should note, he'd been more than a friend to Hemmings over the years by supplying old ads, brochures, and other literature to help illustrate the stories in our magazines.
Bob died last Thursday at the age of 62. As his obituary noted, he became an entrepreneur more out of necessity than by choice after finding it difficult to get a traditional job because of his disability. Though the time I spent with Bob was brief – just a day back in 2004 and several brief visits at Hershey in the years since – I figure that Bob would have eventually gravitated to automotive literature even if he had been able to get a traditional job.
While Bob is survived by a sister, cousins, nieces, and a nephew, he had no wife or children to pass Bob Johnson's Auto Literature to, so according to a company spokesperson, the literature business will go through his estate and likely close down in the near future, though no time frame has been set.
As for that photo, Bob did eventually relent after I assured him I wouldn't stress his height with it. I explained to him that by putting him behind an open drawer of brochures, showing him only from the waist up, that we could effectively obscure his height and at the same time bring to the forefront something that would distract the reader from the issue of his height altogether. He accepted that, but looking over those photos again today, especially as printed in the second issue of Hemmings Classic Car, I see that I might have actually done the opposite – I might have portrayed him as the giant that he was in his field.
"Speedy" Bill Smith dies at 84

One of the best friends that both the worlds of collector cars and auto racing history ever called their own has died. Bill Smith, known as Speedy Bill to his innumerable friends and admirers, died on Friday at his home in Lincoln, Nebraska. He was only a few weeks short of his 85th birthday.
Bill was into cars literally from birth. Professionally, he started buying and selling Model T Fords as a teenager and a little later, his wife, Joyce, lent him $300 to start a speed shop in Lincoln. That was the start of Speedway Motors, founded formally in 1952, which grew to, and remains, one of the nation's largest and longest-standing retailers of hot rod, dress-up and hardcore race parts. Bill parlayed that into widespread racing sponsorships, the best-known of which was likely that of Jan Opperman, who drove Speedy Bill's Sprint car to triumph in 1970 at the prestigious Knoxville Nationals. Two of his biggest victories as a car owner, besides Knoxville, included Opperman's win at the 1976 Hulman Classic at Terre Haute, Indiana; and Doug Wolfgang's 1978 Knoxville victory.
Bill also supported Johnny Beauchamp (edged in a photo finish by Lee Petty in the inaugural Daytona 500), Tiny Lund and Lloyd Beckman, with whom he won three Midwest championships in Sprint cars and Supermodifieds. Organizations that bestowed lifetime honors upon him included the U.S. Auto Club, SEMA, the National Street Rod Association and Goodguys.
Three-time F1 champion Jack Brabham dies

Sir Jack Brabham never forgot the virtues he acquired as a garage mechanic and a technician in the Royal Australian Air Force. He moved to England and joined the vanguard of "garagemen," the tinkerers like Colin Chapman and Ken Tyrrell who transformed Formula 1 with homebuilt cars that, for a brief shining moment, leveled its field of competition to where mortals actually had a shot. Sir Jack died over the past weekend, age 88, in his adopted homeland.
His three world championships stand as a towering achievement, but the way he accomplished them made them even more noteworthy. He won his first two titles as a hired gun in the ultra-light rear-engine cars of John Cooper, before teaming up with his fellow Aussie, the designer and engineer Ron Tauranac, in 1962. Their collaboration yielded the Brabham-Repco – the latter name reflecting its modified Oldsmobile V-8 power – which won four Formula 1 titles in 1966 and 1967: Two constructor's championships, and one driving title each for Brabham and teammate Denny Hulme. Sir Jack retired from the cockpit in 1970 and sold his interest to Tauranac, who then partnered with Bernie Ecclestone, today's F1 impresario. Under their tutelage, Brabham won still more as one of F1′s powerhouse teams during the 1970s and 1980s.
American race fans know Brabham for something even more revolutionary than his F1 conquests, where he remains the only driver to win a world title in a car bearing his own name. In 1961, Brabham and Cooper arrived at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with a tiny Coventry Climax-powered F1 car. They shocked the status quo, which is to say the Offy-engine roadster set, by running laps nearly at the track record. He finished ninth in the race – a 500 win would forever elude him – but Indy was never the same again. The rush to rear-engine cars was on for good by 1962, and no front-engine car would win the race after 1964. Brabham is credited today with touching off the rear-engine revolution at Indy, a groundshaking technological sea change the likes of which has never occurred before or since Sir Jack first arrived at the Brickyard.
How the Batmobile would have looked in the hands of H.R. Giger
The biomechanical themes in the work of artist and designer H.R. Giger – who died Monday at the age of 74 – suited science fiction well. One of his most enduring creations, the xenomorph from the Ridley Scott movie Alien, earned him an Academy Award in 1980, and his style has influenced countless science fiction artists and writers. His vision for the Batmobile, however, didn't quite pan out.
Looking to take the early 1990s Batman movie franchise in a different direction from the two previous Tim Burton films, Warner Brothers reconsidered just about ever aspect of the movies, replacing the director, screenwriter, lead actor, score, and what is probably the most important element of any Batman film – the Batmobile. In early discussions for the film, Warner Brothers turned to Giger to design the latter, and Giger returned a series of sketches of a Batmobile like nobody had ever before seen.
Generally laid out in an X shape, the designs took on many of Giger's biomechanical themes, not only in aesthetics, but also in function. Giger envisioned that this new Batmobile would pivot at the center and the two ends of it would close and open like giant mandibles. To facilitate the pincer-like action, which would be essential for changing direction, the Batmobile would use six or eight spherical and omnidirectional wheels. Batman would have apparently drove the Giger Batmobile from a pod in the center of the X, but Giger didn't appear to include a powerplant or drive system (electric hybrid? hydraulic?). He did, however, envision plenty of armaments for the Batmobile, including gatling gun-toting pods on both sides.
Needless to say, Warner Brothers balked at the concept. Studio executives wanted a more family-friendly (and box office-friendly) tone and look to the Batman franchise after the darker tone of the prior two films, so director Joel Schumacher hired designer Barbara Ling to come up with a more conventional Batmobile for Batman Forever. Tim Flattery, who headed up the Batman Forever Batmobile design for Ling, said that he did take inspiration in part from Giger, evident in the biomechanical themes pasted atop what was essentially an evolution of the Burton Batmobiles.
And though it might not have been exactly what Schumacher wanted, Giger's Batmobile concept – with its unconventional design, forked front end, multitude of wheels, and shape-changing abilities – did appear to inspire the Nathan Crowley-designed Tumbler, the Batmobile used in the more recent Christopher Nolan Batman films. Crowley, however, maintains that he designed the Tumbler from scratch and appears to have never credited Giger.
Legendary Indy mechanic A.J. Watson dies

If Harry A. Miller and the Duesenberg brothers were the first geniuses of the front-engine American championship racing car, then Abraham Jacob Watson – the other icon of Indianapolis racing who went by the initials of A.J. – was surely the last. He died Monday, just four days after his 90th birthday.
A.J. Watson, a profoundly laid-back and approachable guy known for his flat-top coiffure, was one of the last links to the great front-engine era at the Indianapolis 500. He'd driven – briefly, in California following a sojourn from his native Ohio – but achieved immortality as a fabricator, crew chief and mechanic. The offset front-engine roadsters that he designed and built were the ultimate expression of the traditional front-engine pavement car at the top level of American racing. Watson admitted that he took the principles of Frank Kurtis and Eddie Kuzma, among others, and made them better. A lot better. Before the rear-engine revolution conquered Indianapolis in the middle of the 1960s, it was commonplace for Watson roadsters to make up nearly the entire field at the Indianapolis 500.
Watson (second from right) with Larry Shinoda (second from left), Don Koda, and Johnny Boyd.
Watson fielded his first Indianapolis entry, the City of Glendale Special, for Dick Rathmann in 1950. Rathmann finished next to last. Things got better. The final record shows that Watson won the Indianapolis 500 five times as a builder or crew chief, plus three USAC national titles. Arguably, his greatest success came after he refused to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma, to work for owner John Zink. Instead, he persuaded Bob Wilke to enter the sport with a new team, Leader Cards Racing, which won the 500 twice with Rodger Ward up. He was probably even more famous for his association with the other A.J., surname Foyt, who helped Watson mark his birthday last weekend at Indy. Foyt won his first two 500s aboard Watson roadsters. The second, in 1964, marked the final victory for a front-engine car at Indianapolis. Fittingly, a lot of Watson roadsters enjoyed second acts in their racing lives on the Supermodified circuit along the Great Lakes, their original Offenhauser racing engines swapped out for fuel-injected big-block Chevrolets.
Jim Jeffords, Corvette racing legend and motorsport entrepreneur, dead at age 87

Over the course of his six-decade career, Jim Jeffords contributed much to motorsports in America in a number of different roles, including SCCA National Championship-winning driver, Trans-Am team manager, and vice president of Road America. In fact, he still served in that latter role when he died earlier this month at the age of 87.
Jeffords began racing cars in 1954, starting with a Jaguar XK120 M. By the following season, he'd moved to a Jaguar XK140 MC, and it was this C-Production car that Jeffords ran in the inaugural race at Road America in September of 1955. At this SCCA National event, Jeffords was reportedly introduced to Chevrolet general manager Ed Cole; taking the opportunity to pitch his talents as a driver to Cole, Jeffords reportedly asked for a spot on the Corvette Racing Team. Cole advised that Jeffords would need to prove his abilities first, and instead directed him to a Chevrolet dealer Dick Doane, who would take until May of 1956 to deliver Jeffords a Corvette (for which he reportedly paid $2,500). In his first time behind the wheel, Jeffords delivered a fourth-place finish, and the race signified the start of a long-term relationship between Chevrolet and Jeffords. In 1957, Jeffords was named as a Corvette Racing Team driver, although he would occasionally drive Corvettes for other teams during the 1957 season.
The cars most often associated with Jeffords as a driver were the "Purple People Eater" Corvettes, sponsored by Chicago's Nickey Chevrolet. In 42 races spanning the 1958 and 1959 seasons, Jeffords won 29 events in the distinctive Corvettes, enough to capture back-to-back SCCA B-Production Championships. Along the way, he'd set multiple track records and even capture a victory at the prestigious 1958 Nassau Speed Week, gaining international recognition in the process. Though best known for his exploits behind the wheel of a Corvette, Jeffords also proved competitive behind the wheel of Lance Reventlow's Scarab Mk II and several Birdcage Maseratis. His career as a driver would end at its peak, following the conclusion of the 1960 season, cut short by a mysterious medical condition that earned him a lengthy 1961 hospital stay.

With one chapter on Jeffords's career closed, another opened. Thanks to his relationship with designer Brooks Stevens, who in turn was friendly with American Motors CEO Roy Chapin, his name came up as a potential team manager when AMC made the 1967 decision to go Trans-Am racing with its new Javelin. Joining him on the team (likely at Jeffords's request) would be Ronnie Kaplan, an extremely talented mechanic and engineer whom Jeffords had worked with in his Nickey Chevrolet racing days. Though Jeffords had the title of team manager, it was Kaplan who held the responsibility of making the cars competitive in the popular SCCA series. Jeffords and Kaplan struggled to improve the cars, but after a third-place finish in 1968 and a fourth-place finish in 1969, American Motors handed its Trans-Am racing program over to Roger Penske for the 1970 season. Building on the groundwork set by Kaplan (and to some degree, Jeffords), Penske delivered a second-place finish in 1970 and Trans-Am championships for AMC in 1971 and 1972.
Jeffords also tested the waters as an automotive entrepreneur, attempting to launch a production version of AMC's Vignale AMX concept car, which featured a unique open-air "Rambleseat" in place of an ordinary trunk. Working with Brooks Stevens, the pair penned an agreement with AMC that would allow them to produce the "AMX-R" on a limited basis. A pre-production 1968 AMX was provided for the experiment, and Dave Puhl (of Puhl's House of Kustoms) was entrusted with the build. Following the completion of the prototype, Jeffords took the car on the road, using it to pace a few Trans-Am races, but AMC quickly changed its mind about the project. The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act had just been passed, and AMC wanted no part of a vehicle that seemingly thumbed its nose at regulations designed to improve vehicle safety (then at the forefront of the news, thanks to Ralph Nader's efforts).
At his 2002 Corvette Hall of Fame induction.
For his success behind the wheel of a Corvette, Jeffords was inducted into the National Corvette Museum's Corvette Hall of Fame in 2002. One thing remained constant throughout Jeffords's remarkable life, and that was his position on the Road America board of directors, as well as his position as the track's vice president. He remained in this position until his death on March 6.
Frank Hagerty, co-founder of Hagerty Insurance, dead at age 79

To Frank Hagerty, vintage wooden boats held a value far greater than the sum of their component parts. It was this belief that led the Michigan native and longtime insurance professional to co-found vintage car and boat insurer Hagerty Insurance with his wife, Louise, in 1984. On Tuesday, March 18, Frank Hagerty died in his Michigan home at age 79.
Born in Detroit in 1934, Hagerty moved to Traverse City in the mid-1950s. It was there that he opened an independent insurance agency, which realized steady growth over the years. In 1981, Hagerty sold the agency, and three years later founded Hagerty Insurance with his wife. It was a labor of love, because the specialized insurer blended Hagerty's knowledge of the insurance business with his life-long passion for both classic cars and vintage wooden boats.
This love of collector cars was passed down to children, Kim, Tammy, and McKeel, as well. Each was allowed to choose their first car, with the understanding that it would be a family restoration project. Daughter Kim opted for a 1960 Corvair Lakewood station wagon, daughter Tammy chose a 1960 Porsche 356 B roadster and son McKeel selected a 1967 Porsche 911S. Though hard to envision given today's prices for collector cars, each car was purchased for less than $500.
Started in the basement of the family home, Hagerty Insurance today employs more than 600 people worldwide. It remains a family business, with Kim, Tammy, and McKeel all taking active management roles within the company.

Frank Hagerty retired from the business that carries his name in the 1990s, but kept active with restoring vintage boats and cars. His most recent effort was a 1948 Ford convertible "Dunesmobile," once used to shuttle tourists around Lake Michigan's Sleeping Bear Dunes. Discovered in 2012, the car was restored in time for this year's Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance, where it took "Best in Class" honors. Fittingly, Frank Hagerty was on hand to collect the award, though it would be his last ride in a classic car.
Sprint and Indy 500 star Gary Bettenhausen dies at 72
Photo courtesy Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
If you grew up loving American-style open-wheel racing, you had to grow up deeply admiring Gary Bettenhausen, an absolute stud of a second-generation racing driver who was a virtual immortal in Sprint cars before he made an amazing, if troubled, transition to Indy cars. Bettenhausen's wife, Wavelyn, found him deceased on Sunday afternoon in their Monrovia, Indiana, home. He was 72.
It's almost trite, but still accurate, to state that the Bettenhausen family's history was suffused with both triumph and tragedy. The family patriarch, Tony, put their hometown of Tinley Park, Illinois, on the map by winning copiously in Midgets and copping national driving titles with AAA and USAC in 1951 and 1958, respectively. He was killed in 1961 while practicing in Paul Russo's car before the Indianapolis 500, having never captured racing's most prestigious prize.
Gary was the eldest of the elder Bettenhausen's three sons, and the broadest success in racing. Among his five USAC national titles were those he won in Sprint cars while locked in season-long combat with Ohio native Larry Dickson. Their wars on dirt and pavement are still referred to as the Larry and Gary Show, making the protagonists into something akin to the Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell of their day. Astoundingly, but completely in character, Gary completed his rookie test for the Indianapolis 500 aboard an upright, front-engine dirt car. He became a powerhouse in USAC Sprint cars driving for Willie Davis, which got him seats with Roger Penske, driving both Indy cars and the team's AMC Matadors in NASCAR.
He was an extremely credible driver, winning the Indy car round at Trenton in only his second start for Penske, but despite the Captain's warnings, he refused to stay away from the violent short-track stuff. A dirt car flip out of the Syracuse mile in 1975 left him with a useless left arm and without the Penske rides. He nonetheless went on to race in the 500 a total of 21 times – once bringing a junkbox from 33rd on the grid to finish third – and capturing seven Indy car wins through the 1990s.
Misfortune befell all three of Tony Bettenhausen's sons. Besides Gary's partially disabling injury, younger brother Merle lost an arm when he crashed in his only Indy car start, at Michigan. Another sibling, Tony Jr., ran well at Indy but was killed in a 2000 plane crash.
Andrew DiDia, designer of DiDia 150, dies at age 96

Andrew DiDia was a clothing designer by trade, but his artistic vision led him to create the DiDia 150, one of the wildest concept cars of the 20th century. Also known as the "Bobby Darin Dream Car," the flashy and futuristic automobile reportedly took seven years to build, at a cost of $93,647 for labor alone. On February 24, Andrew DiDia died, aged 96.
Bob Kaiser of Clark Kaiser Customs began work on the DiDia 150 in 1953, and no expense was spared in the car's creation. Its frame was crafted from tubular aluminum, over which a hand-formed aluminum body was installed. The car's exaggerated tailfins and bubble cockpit were clearly aircraft-influenced, and to ensure the car produced the right amount of thrust, a Cadillac-sourced 365-cu.in. V-8 was installed between the front fenders (though a 427-cu.in. Ford V-8 was later installed when Ford presented the car on the show circuit). The too-much-is-just-enough theme was carried over to the car's paint as well, which reportedly consisted of 30 hand-rubbed coats, embedded with diamond dust for additional sparkle.
Inside, the DiDia 150 was equally futuristic. Headlamps were hidden behind the car's wrap-around grill, while the taillamps were said to pivot as the car turned. Air conditioning was thermostatically controlled, and each of the four bucket seats contained a cigarette lighter, ashtray and concealed speaker. Even the windshield wipers were the stuff of science fiction (in the 1950s, anyway); rain-sensing, they deployed automatically when moisture was detected on the glass.
Andrew DiDia met Bobby Darin during a Detroit concert in 1957. The two soon became friends, and DiDia shared sketches of the car under development. Darin made a few design suggestions of his own, and promised that, if he ever managed to strike it rich, he'd buy DiDia's dream car. Darin proved to be a man of his word, and in 1961 wrote DiDia a check for $150,000 to purchase the car; at the time, The Guinness Book of World Records considered this the highest price ever paid for a custom-built automobile.
Darin used the car regularly for public appearances (including the 1961 Academy Awards, where the DiDia 150 allegedly overheated en route to the event), and the "Bobby Darin Dream Car" was a regular on the show car circuit, often exhibited by DiDia himself. In 1970, Darin donated the car to the St. Louis Museum of Transportation, and in 1973 it was restored to its present state, featuring a gold undercoat and a candy pearl red topcoat. Though occasionally loaned to other museums, the DiDia 150 remains part of the St. Louis museum's permanent collection.
If DiDia ever sketched another vehicle, he kept it to himself. Though the Bobby Darrin Dream Car brought him far more attention than he could have anticipated, DiDia did nothing to pursue a career in customization or automotive design, although he continued to attend shows where the car was presented throughout his life. Content to live in his home state of Michigan, it was there that DiDia died last month.
A tip of the hat to our own Ed Heys for bringing this to our attention.
American LaFrance, the firefighting legend, is no more
Photo courtesy Walter M.P. McCall.
If you look back far enough, you can trace the origins of American LaFrance back to 1832. That was when a guy named John Rogers started building hand-operated fire pumps along the future Erie Canal near Albany, New York. We just learned via Fire Apparatus Journal magazine that American LaFrance, which was in its third existence as a company, abruptly closed its doors in January, apparently for good.
American LaFrance, one of the most iconic vehicle nameplates of any kind, ever, began its glory years as a manufacturer of trucks in 1904. That was in Elmira, New York, where the firm was reorganized following an ill-starred attempt at monopolization via a forced merger of steam pumper builders Ahrens, Button, Clapp & Jones and Silsby. We reached out to Hemmings Nation member Walter M.P. McCall of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, a prolific author and historian on emergency and professional vehicles, whose works include The Illustrated Encyclopedia of American Fire Apparatus Manufacturers. Walt characterized the enormous legacy of ALF, explaining, "The company introduced its first successful motor fire apparatus in 1909, and the industry's first V-12 engine in 1931. But the company's most iconic product was the truly revolutionary cab-forward 700 Series introduced just after the Second World War. More than 3,000 were produced in the company's Elmira plant between 1947 and 1959. Three-quarters of a century later, the cab-forward fire trucks we see today owe their lineage to this breakthrough, game-changing design."
According to the magazine, the last two rigs delivered by ALF were a pair of 100-foot tractor-drawn aerial ladder trucks for the Philadelphia Fire Department. They represented half the department's order, with the fate of the other two trucks, and any other trucks ordered by other departments, was not immediately known.
January's shutdown was actually the company's third, Walt told us. American LaFrance closed its ancestral plant in Elmira in 1985, only to reopen on a smaller scale in Bluefield, Virginia. Eight years later, that company – Kersey/ALF – went out of business, too. But truck builder Freightliner Corporation, a division of Daimler-Benz AG, rescued and revived ALF once more, launching an all-new ALF Eagle fire apparatus line in a new plant in Cleveland, North Carolina, in 1997. In 2002, American LaFrance relocated to North Charleston, South Carolina, and in 2008, moved into a huge, new plant near Summerville, South Carolina. Now owned by a venture-capital firm, American LaFrance moved to yet another plant, in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, last year.

These come complete with static-y reception and a button he can push to say over. (hands-free mode also available).

The purposes and objectives of the Society shall be:
1. To engage in educational, archival, research and exploration activities and to support such activities that will increase knowledge of and engender appreciation of the history of the Town of East Lyme and its heritage.
2. To encourage the preservation and restoration of the town's historical assets, such as houses, structures, burying grounds, early artifacts and other things associated with the town's origin and history.
3. To determine and develop year round historical programs and implementation of same. These programs and activities shall include the period of colonial history and may include all periods of American history and other history.
4. To cooperate and participate with other organizations for similar purposes and objectives, both within and without the town.
5. To establish the Thomas Lee House Preservation Committee to ensure the protection and preservation of the Thomas Lee House as an American heritage, wherein books, documents, pictures, furniture, tools, implements, artifacts and other articles associated with the history of the Thomas Lee House and the family are housed.
The year 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the purchase of the Thomas Lee house by the East Lyme Historical Society in order to protect and preserve it for future generations. The Society will be recognizing this anniversary with several events over the coming months. As details are confirmed, we will be sure to share them with you. Until then, we will be posting photos of the house as it looked at the time of purchase, and as the needed repair work was undertaken. We will also post some news articles that were written about the house at the time of the purchase. The first few of these can be found on our new page:
In her account of the origins of the Thomas Lee House Museum, given on June 9, 1915, Miss Celeste E. Bush, Secretary of the East Lyme Historical Society, also spoke about the fundraising efforts (reported in The Day, June 10, 1915):
"The hoped for help came; we applied to the chairman of the old house committee of the Society of Colonial Dames, who recommended us to the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. Their secretary, Mr. Appleton, came on and saw the house and pronounced it well worth saving. Mr. Seymour of the Society of Colonial Wars, engaged Norman W. Isham, the great authority on colonial houses, to examine and report on the house, and his report being favorable, these three societies gave us $200 each. Other contributions, largely from Lee descendants, brought the sum in hand up to $1,000, which was ready well within our 90 days' option.
"The $500 in excess of the cost price was so nearly enough for the necessary repairs that it seemed wise to contract a small debt, about $100, which we hope either by our own efforts or the generosity of friends who have not as yet contributed, to meet at an early date. And we are anxious to relay the old well, which has begun to cave in and to build a protecting fence against the destructive forces of the souvenir hunters who dig out the flowers from the lawn.
"We do not call this begging; we are offering a share in the best we have. We have not saved the old house for ourselves, but for the state, the nation and posterity. We do not welcome you to our house, but to your house. Here you may come as freely as we to meditate on the quarter-of-a-thousand years in which this house has been contemporary."
This is an exciting year for the East Lyme Historical Society. To have been able to save such a wonderful building, and to have maintained it in nearly-original condition for 100 years, is an achievement we owe to the support and hard work of our members and the community around us. We look forward to celebrating this remarkable anniversary, and hope that you will join us!

A Celebration of Land and Sea: Modern Indigenous Cuisine in New England
Join anthropologist and food specialist Rachel Sayet as she shares her passion for Native culture and its cuisine.

The presentation will include how people in New England harvested, hunted and cooked food traditionally, and the traditional celebrations that went along with food, instead of one Thanksgiving that we celebrate today.

Professor Laura Crow: New England Women's Dress in the Industrial Age
New England's industrial revolution began in the countryside. While Boston, New York, and other urban areas were the centers of the financial world, manufacturers seeking skilled labor and waterpower established textile mills across rural New England. Large centers like Lowell, Massachusetts, and more modest industrial towns like Willimantic and Manchester, Connecticut, grew up in this process, but much textile production also took place in many small factory villages and industrial settlements that were scattered across rural New England, including Mansfield, where the University of Connecticut now resides. Throughout the middle of the nineteenth century, thousands of rural women and children did domestic outwork, making hats, buttons, suspenders and other clothing items in their own homes for local merchants who paid them by the piece. The skills and fashion sense of these home workers were the focus of the exhibition, "Women of New England: Dress from the Industrial Age 1850 – 1900", which appeared in an abbreviated version at the Connecticut State House, and subsequently in its complete form at the Benton Museum of Art and then at the Gallery in the Jorgenson Center for the Performing Arts on the UCONN campus. By the end, over 13,000 people saw the exhibition.
Laura Crow is the Director of Design and a Professor of Costume History, Design & Technology at the University of Connecticut's Department of Dramatic Arts. She has designed costumes for Broadway, Off-Broadway and regional theaters, and represented the USA at the Prague Quadrennial five times. Among her awards are the Drama Desk, OBIE, American Theatre Wing, and Villager in New York City, Joseph Jefferson in Chicago, Bay Area Critics, three Drama-Logue awards and the Backstage West Garland Award for designs on the West Coast in LA and San Francisco, and four ZONIs from Phoenix. She was included in the recent Lincoln Center Exhibition "Curtain Call: Celebrating a Century of Women Designing for Live Performance," focusing on 100 women designers from the past 100 years. Professor Crow is Vice Head of the Americas for the Costume Working Group for OISTAT (the International Organization of Scenographers, Theatre Architects and Technicians) and acts as a Liaison for the Costume Commission and the International Commission of USITT (United States Institute of Theatre Technology). Professor Crow is proud to have been a Fulbright Senior Scholar exploring multi-culturalism in festival dress of the Philippines and has spent time researching Carnival costumes in Cuba, Trinidad, New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro. She has authored two chapters for Masquerade: A Panorama, due out in the spring of 2015.
This program is open to the public, with a suggested donation of $5. It will take place at the Mystic Congregational Church's hall on Broadway Street, Mystic. For more information, please visit:

I want to draw a complex chart on a canvas element.
The canvas has width and height 100%. The div container of the canvas has a width of 100% and height 640 pixel for mobice device 1. (see below)
Lets assume I draw a rectangle:
void rect(x, y, width, height)
For mobile device 1 I have this context:
width: 480px, height: 640px
For mobile device 2 I have this context:
width: 1024px, height: 768px
When I switch now to mobile device 2 my context.height changes from 640px to 768px. The result is that the rectangle with a height of 640px leaves now a gap between it and the top margin of the gap: 768px - 640px = 128px gap.
Question 1) So the canvas from itself is not able to stretch its content? I do not ask for stretching the canvas itself, thats easy, I just want to stretch the content inside the canvas.
Question 2) When Question1 answers is "No it can not stretch its content!" then How do I correctly resize its content? Is there a redraw event where I can hook into when the mobile device changes from portrait to landscape view? Or is it up to me to take the height of 640px as 100% and divide the content areas in my canvas into x-% areas and compute for example what is 40% width in pixel related to the 100% (640px) ? This way the content would scale up/down when the height of the mobile device changes.

Nice all-season scent
Quite relaxing, mild slow haunting - as opposed to burning stick incense that is immediate and overpowering.

The Fieldhouse Pub beckons to visitors with the inviting smell of American-steakhouse fare mixing with that of Italian, French, and German cuisine. Head Chef Hans Jurgen Stender loads the tables with saucy veal schnitzels, spinach- and ricotta-cheese-stuffed capon, sauce-laden pastas, and juicy blackened steaks. Like 2001: A Beer Odyssey, his pub menu explores beer's longtime on-and-off relationship with burgers, overstuffed wraps, and shareable finger food.
Hanging plants hold court alongside a sun-friendly, greenhouse-style glass wall in the dining area. Upstairs, grainy timber accents define a bar that features a jukebox and stools clad in billiard-table-green leather. DIRECTV sports packages keep guests entertained with the glory of games, and occasional karaoke and all-ages stand-up routines keep them in stitches over the antics of professional comedians or amazed and terrified at human Auto-Tune impersonations.
Gold-leaf writing inscribed across the towering red portico at the entrance to The Shannon Rose Irish Pub announces what one might expect to find inside: "Premium Stouts," "Irish Whiskies," and other culinary staples of the Emerald Isles. Behind this imposing entryway lies a series of dining rooms that have a markedly different effect; chandeliers create a sense of intimacy as they illuminate Gaelic artwork and aged hardcovers resting on lofty bookshelves.
Clinton Haunted Mill challenges visitors to test their might in their zombie-infested attraction, "The Rising Dead...Run for Your Lives". Inside their haunted village, a cast of more than 50 undead walkers team up to terrify young and old alike. Tackle the three horrifying adventures, exploring the mind of a killer and experiencing the Maze. Performances take place on specific nights throughout the season and begin after dark, once all the ghouls come out to play.
Juices headline the menu at Manhattan Juice Bar & Cafe, but these aren't just any juices. These raw varieties are created mostly from organic wheat grass, healthy vegetables such as kale and carrots, and though fresh apples and citrus fruits lend a tinge of sweetness. Fresh fruits also show up in the juice bar's smoothies, which are blended with protein powder and non-dairy milk, such as coconut milk, almond milk, and organic flax milk.
But Manhattan is so much more than a juice bar. The cafe's lunchtime menu includes healthy wraps and paninis, many of which feature vegan toppings such as house-made hummus. The desserts are just as tantalizing and healthy, with options such as gluten-free vegan energy balls and bars.
At fully stocked facilities, Mix 'em Up Bartending School's TIPS-certified instructors ready students for a career mixing drinks in a nightclub setting. Real taps, sinks, and machinery offer each pupil hands-on training, all overseen by potable professionals boasting the experience and chiseled biceps acquired during a minimum of seven years manning the taps. Music and disco lights foster a true-to-life atmosphere aimed at granting graduates the confidence needed to work in real bar conditions. Showing a commitment to helping all types of students succeed, Mix 'em Up pours out its curriculum in both full- and part-time classes and encourages graduates to take advantage of lifetime access to job-placement databases.
Since its post-Prohibition opening in 1933, the Cloverleaf Tavern has been owned and operated by the same family, serving a hearty menu of casual American and international eats. Begin a meal with the counter-intuitively best-selling hot, bubbling crab dip, a mouth-watering concoction of fresh crab meat baked in a gooey white-wine-cheese blend and served with toasted baguettes ($9.99). Pub classics abound, such as the charbroiled burgers ($7.49+) and irish cottage beef pie, with brown gravy and hearty vegetables bubbling under the mashed-potato crust ($12.99). Cloverleaf Tavern, which was the first saloon in Caldwell to secure a liquor license after Prohibition, also proffers a full bar and vast beer selection of 25 beers on tap, plus more than 50 bottled brews, which makes it an ideal place to stop for a post- or prework celebration.

I have told the media teacher that if I find any huge files on the students or staff areas I will delete them.
I have then left the media teacher to police the local drives and access to the computers.
All seems to be going well so far and not had any complaints

Albuquerque, New...
I love these sweat pants! I needed some breathable pants to lounge around in and these are perfect. I stuck to the pattern without any problems. It was a quick sew. I love the pockets and the leg bands are pretty cool too. I used some ribbed knit cotton from my stash for the waist and leg bands. My only regret is that I didn't make them before my winter break started…although, I probably wouldn't have left the house!

Lil Scrappy was not pleased with the way his daughter was treated while they were vacationing at the Nickelodeon Suites Resort in Orlando. Scrappy became enraged when he took his daughter, Emani, poolside for a game where the staff calls kids up on stage for contests and they didn't pick his daughter or any of the other black children in the crowd.
In the above video, you can see Momma D and Scrappy approach the host of the event and accuse them of racist behavior for not picking anything but white children for the game show. A rep for the resort told had said in a statement that, "[Nickelodeon Suites] don't discriminate on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin." They also added that participants must follow specific protocol and that Scrappy's daughter did participate in the show.

Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Alice in Chains + More Win 2013 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards
The Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards were held in the U.K. last night (June 17) and we've got the full list of winners to share with you.
The Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards were held in the U.K. last night (June 17) and we've got the full list of winners to share with you.
There's no doubt that Metallica love Motorhead, and now there's some additional video footage to prove it. Back in 1995, the Metallica members, decked out in long black-haired wigs, took the stage at Los Angeles' Whisky-a-Go-Go to play a set of Motorhead songs in honor of Lemmy Kilmister's 50th birthday. Now, the famous venue has just posted video from the performance on YouTube.
When most people think of Valentine's Day, they think of flowers and chocolates and cheesy poems and all that sorts of mushy crap that no real man ever wants to be a part of. But being nice to your lady is part of the game. Just because you want to be sweet, does mean you have to give up your man card.
Here are some tunes that will show your lady how you really feel without making you feel like a puss.
Now that the world's loudest band has released their own signature brand of headphones, Motorhead are looking to take down rapper Dr. Dre and his 'Beats' empire.
Frontman Lemmy Kilmister himself presented the new headphones this week in Las Vegas at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Along with introducing the headphones, Lemmy offered some priceless quotes while answering questions at a Motorheadphones press conference.
Summer time has come once again (prematurely), which means it's time to hit the road and get the hell out of town for a nice little trip to summer where that doesn't feel like Satan's asshole. So, where could you go? What could you possibly do? Well, there are tons of summer concerts/festivals going on, so why not enjoy them? Here are the list of some must hit shows going on this summer!
Motorhead frontman/bassist (and badass) Lemmy Kilmister isn't so much miffed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for virtually ignoring his legendary band and not inducting them into their hallowed halls despite the fact that they've been rocking since 1975. He's got an axe to grind with the powers-that-be over a bigger and more important matter. They lost his 'Ace of Spades' tour jacket after he loaned it to them for an exhibit. To quote the kids of 'South Park,' those bastards!
Unfortunately, Motorhead have been forced to cancel their gig at tonight's Gigantour show in Denver because frontman Lemmy Kilmister has lost his voice.

Makwetla: Now Martin, I am told that Botswana is taking firm steps towards realising its diamond dream of becoming Africa's Antwerp.
Creamer: The President of Botswana Festus Mogae has made it clear that he wants Botswana to be no less a diamond centre then Antwerp is, or that Jerusalem or Mumbai are. He has taken firm steps and has already licensed 16 diamond cutters and polishers. Six of them are already operating and the remaining 10 will be operative within the next three years. This will be an industry which will employ 3 000 additional people and they will be cutting and polishing diamonds worth between R3-billion and R4-billion a year. They are building up their intellectual capacity for this and at any one time Botswana has at least 19 000 students in global universities around the word on full international scholarships. 98% of those people come back and jobs are now being created to take in these new people. You have got a billion dollars and more being spent in Botswana on a new science and technology university. You have also got a lot of energy projects coming through, the one is $7-billion and that will be a power station linked to a coal mine that will supply energy into South Africa. The country itself is rebuilding its own energy infrastructure and is putting $1,2-billion into its own Morapuli power station.
Makwetla: I believe exciting ventures for South Africa with the United States ordering another batch of 500 South African-made armoured vehicles.
Creamer: Yes, the United States Department of Defence is really taking a liking to the armoured vehicles it gets from South Africa. The armoured vehicles we are talking about here are special armoured vehicles called mine-resistant and ambush protected vehicles. They have now ordered another 511 of the bigger version of these and 89 of the smaller version. That takes the total on order at the moment to 1 755 and it is a mixture. Some of these are going to be built in South Africa, when we talk South Africa it is the Land Systems OMC of Benoni and others will be assembled in the United States. All in all this is to South African design and South Africa will either get the royalty or will actually export the finished vehicle. In Benoni at the moment they are expanding their premises. They were producing something like one of these vehicles a day and are now ramping up to six of these vehicles a day between now and March. The US orders have really established South Africa as the supplier of these mine resistant and ambush protected vehicles to such an extent now that designs are also being considered by the Ministries of Defence in the UK and Poland.
Makwetla: Finally, a South African aeronautics company is planning to launch Africa's first commercial space rocket. Quite exciting.
Creamer: South African aeronautics company Marcom Aeronautics and Space are intent on launching Africa's first commercial space rocket. The person heading this is Mark Comninos. He is an aeronautics engineer with training in South Africa and also in the US. He sees a commercial gap in Africa at the moment because we know that 26 countries in the world are creating space agencies and there is a lot of demand for space transport at the moment. In South Africa if you think of a space agency developing here we already have the ground part of it and that is the Satellite Application Centre at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. We also have a company in Stellenbosch, SunSpace already building microsatellites. What we don't have is the ability to launch these into space. This is the gap that he wants to fill and he believes that he can do it at lower cost and 98% of the materials that he will use for his Cheetah 1, this is particular the rocket that he is planning to build, a two stage rocket, 98% of that raw material will come from South Africa itself. He believes that this can be built in three phases. The first phase, he says, could be done in 12 months at a capital cost of about R20-million. Already there is foreign funding interest, people from outside who see that we can possibly come down the cost curve on satellite launch vehicles for payloads up to about a ton, which would be what South Africa needs at the moment with SunSpace, which is awaiting a launch by the Russians, for instance. So he believes it is highly feasible to do this and we would also make a re-use of the Overberg test range. That would require a launch pad and other facilities to be built.
Makwetla: Always enjoyable chatting to you. Thanks very much. Martin Creamer is publishing editor of Engineering News and Mining Weekly, he'll be back with us at the same time next week

Just curious cause i cant figure out how to get the SG on hopville but,,,
if i used 4 gallons of apple juice and 1 pound of corn sugar and 1 pound of brown sugar what would my SG be around... can any smart peeps lend a hand?
Take the total grams of the sugar from the juice and sugar packages. Divide by the amount of total liquid in liters. 10g/L is 1 BRIX.
I used to have a six-pack, but now I have a keg.
hmm so 2250 grams of sugar divided by 15.141 liters of juice equals a SG of 2.122.... my math may be off
10grams of sugar in 1 liter equals 1 BRIX. 2250/10/15.141 = 14.6BRIX or about 8% ABV.
When you are using "Beer Calculus" on Hopville, They have the Apple cider and Juice valued as such that when you tell the program you are using 1 pound of cider it is equal to 1 gallon of cider at 1.050 S.G.
Very handy in estimating new recipes. I used it for a batch of graff I made a couple weeks ago and the SG was right on.
