The Monday Morning Memo

This isn't me.
It's my grandfather (on my mother's side) in 1941.
He was the host of the Miss America Pageant
from 1941 to 1962. You've heard of Bob Barker, right?
Grandad was the original. The other one, the game show guy,
was just a bad imitation. By the way, Rosemary LaPlanche,
the second from the left,
Miss California, went on to win
the contest that year. She served as one of the most popular
Miss Americas in the history of the event. My grandfather,
as you would expect, was the most popular host ever.

Random Quote:

“Once in a while you find yourself in an odd situation. You get into it by degrees and in the most natural way but, when you are right in the midst of it, you are suddenly astonished and ask yourself how in the world it all came about. If, for example, you put to sea on a wooden raft with a parrot and five companions, it is inevitable that sooner or later you will wake up one morning out at sea, perhaps a little better rested than ordinarily, and begin to think about it. On one such morning I sat writing in a dew-drenched logbook…”

- Thor Heyerdahl, the opening line of his international bestseller, The Kon-Tiki Expedition (1948)
