Cousins Ed Schwartz and David Jacobowitz

Ed Schwartz is my second cousin once removed. His mother Carlyn died in May and is interred next to the Jacobowitz plot at Riverside Cemetery. Ed and I met there on October 27, 2011, and took a snapshot to probe for family resemblances,

La Tragédie du Pont

Linda added a plaque to her collection. This one is on the river in Granby, QC.

The plaque recounts what happened on the 21st of April 1869, when eleven people, children and parents,  lost their lives when the ice they were watching on Lac Boivin went out over the dam and took out the bridge on which they were standing.

Bromont/Granby, QC via Yamaska

Garmin Connect - Bromont/Granby, QC via Yamaska

Bob Schermer invited me to help him scout the afternoon route for the four-day VerMontreal ride for 2012. This is the lake entrance to the St Christophe in Granby, the end of day 2 after a ride through Yamaska Parc or directly from Bromont. Linda simulates a welcome.

We discovered a number of corrections to be made to the route sheet. I took photos of the critical junctions and turns.  I want to place the photos on a map of the route. Maybe this will help.

Bonneville Again

Bob Immler sent a scan of the album cover of the recording that included Norm's Alfa running at Bonneville in 1960. The recording is mentioned in a previous post.

The ripped text is "Tenafly, N.J." Norm took the 1500 cc class at 114.35 mph.

This new discussion started when I sent a copy of an article from the Times to Bob Immler about Craig Breedlove, who ran a jet-powered car to several land speed records a couple of years after this. The car on the album cover is Mickey Thompson's. Bob recalled that Thompson was murdered and thought that he (Bob) might have seen the murderers fleeing on bicycles the morning of the event.
