They apparently plucked him out of school because of his genius and after the war he wanted to get back into academia and they wanted to put him right back were he left off and he said thanks but no thanks.

Thanks, mauser! I really appreciate those photos. I think I was three years old the first time we went to Biloxi. I can still remember watching a duck playing the piano in the saloon at the Deer Ranch. To this day, fifty-one years later, it is still the singular strangest thing I have ever witnessed with my own eyes!

What I found to be cool was that Tom Dowd was a player in the Manhattan project. Talk about a Renaissance man
quote:The NSA was so fricking secret no one even knew they existed?!?
Lehrer remained in Harvard's doctoral program for several years, taking time out for his musical career and to work as a researcher at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.
Lehrer was drafted into the U.S. Army from 1955 to 1957, working at the National Security Agency (NSA). In 2020 Lehrer publicly revealed that he had been assigned to the NSA, since the mere fact of its existence was classified at the time; this left him in the position of implicitly using nuclear weapons work as a cover story for something more sensitive.
The perfect government agency MAXWELL SMART: We know that every agency had its budget cut except the CIA.
CHIEF: Why din't you find out about the CIA?
MAX: They won't tell anyone what their budget is.

Frank Finkel (January 29, 1854 – August 28, 1930) was an American who rose to prominence late in his life and after his death for his claims to being the only survivor of George Armstrong Custer's famed "Last Stand" at the Battle of the Little Bighorn on June 25, 1876. Historians disagree over whether Finkel's claim is accurate; although he provided several details that would only have been known by someone who was at Little Bighorn, there are inconsistencies in his accounts of events.

Meridian Airport: Meridian, MS 1951
People used to get dressed up to fly in those days. Lee Tullis boarding a DC-3 in Meridian, MS for the first leg of a long flight to Dunkwa, British Gold Coast (now Ghana) to run the timber harvesting operations for Mengel Furniture Company. Mahogany was the main species they were harvesting at the time.

It is well known that Jack "Little Big Man" Crabb was the only white survivor of the battle. If you have not seen the film it is very entertaining.
Here also is the real "Little Big Man" (a/k/a Charging Bear), a Lakota Sioux who fought under his cousin Crazy Horse in the battle.
If you have any interest in the historical event I suggest the book Son of The Morning Star, and the film of same title is up on YouTube.
Trivia: Custer was was promoted to cavalry general under Philip Sheridan in the Civil War but with much of the army decommissioned afterwards, he accepted a commission as a Lieutenant Colonel for western assignment and at the time of his death was of that rank.

Even if she could see, the woman in Paul Strand’s pioneering image might not have known she was being photographed. Strand wanted to capture people as they were, not as they projected themselves to be, and so when documenting immigrants on New York City’s Lower East Side, he used a false lens that allowed him to shoot in one direction even as his large camera was pointed in another. The result feels spontaneous and honest, a radical departure from the era’s formal portraits of people in stilted poses.
