Hagop Sandaldjian
quote:

In the early 1970s he learned about the art of microminiature from one of his students, Eduard Ghazaryan. Sandaldjian emigrated to the United States in 1980, but was required to leave behind his first collection of 18 miniature works. Over the next decade, he produced another 33 miniatures.

Working extremely slowly under a microscope, Sandaldjian employed self-made tools such as sharpened needles tipped with ruby or diamond dust, compiling his sculptures out of minuscule materials such as dust, lint, and hair. Even among the few practitioners of microminiature art, Sandaldjian was unusual in that he painted his work, using a single sharpened strand of hair as a brush. Sandaldjian would time his motions to come between his heartbeats, thus maximizing his control of his fingers. Those who saw Sandaldjian at work said that they could not tell when his hands moved.

Memphis airport in the early 1990s as a bustling passenger hub.



As airlines consolidated, airports in Memphis, New Orleans, and St. Louis were "de-hubbed". Delta merged with Northwest; then de-hubbed Memphis in 2013.

the most realistic thing about that movie "The Aviator," was that Hughes was always pulling money out of his own pocket to keep Teeny Weeny afloat, we absorbed that charity case of an airline right before 9/11, was a boon for TWA employees as there would have been no jobs for them if the other two bidders(Icahn and Davis, I think,) had been successful in obtaining them, greatly stymied thousands of careers at AA

too many Franks and a Bush killed them, they were a viable airline, got totally raped by Frank Lorenzo under the protective blanket of George(41) Bush, Pan Am and TWA should have been gone long before they actually were

People piss and moan today about current economics, they should go through what people had during the depression.. Assholes don't realize how good we have it today. It breaks my heart to see that little girl smile even though she's living in that shitty situation.
