Lots of interesting stuff to go at here! And who would have thought that a painting of someone's back view could be so very intriguing and so very lovely?

Not As a Stranger by Morton Thompson was the #1 bestseller the week I was born. Evidently, they made a movie of it.
I'm still going through the links, but the Titanic Lighthouse seemed overly poignant to me today of all days.
Thank you again for a wonderful way to explore the web.
I always enjoy your Friday "Breakfast Links", although it takes me awhile to work my way through them and find the ones that apply to research helpful to my own WIPs. (Victorian England and the early 1900s in America, at present.) Thanks for the good shares.
