    Carroll Shelby in the Ferrari GP with his Italian mechanic walking on the left (with hand on the tire) at the August 1956 Breakneck Road Hillclimb. Herman Melotti was interpreter for Shelby and the Mechanic. The mechanic only spoke Italian. (Dr. Robert Poling photo collection).

    I learned today that my high school 9th grade general science, chemistry, and physics teacher, Theodore (Ted) Henn recently passed away. I have had the great fortune to have had several outstanding mentors, but if there was one proximate cause ;) for my becoming a scientist, it was probably Mr. Henn. He was an outstanding teacher. I am very saddened to learn that he has died.

    Photo scanned from our yearbook Spirit of '75. "Berea" in the (edited) annotation to the photo above refers to an inner-city (Baltimore) after-school tutoring program that he led for many years.

    The Grammy goes to Jay-Z's rant of Beyonce never getting album of the year, she has more grammy's than anyone but no Grammy for album of the year, it just don't make sense, you can do better then this..

    WOW!! Should get a Grammy for having 99 "Entitled" Problems after all they have earned, and have..

    This made him/them look horrible..

    Yes, great ideer.

    Also, the design is a little dated. For the sake of the collectors, shouldn't the figurines be recast into a set of characters? I mean, tradition smradition - get with the times.

    Speaking of the Grammys.

    The gramophone is a little out of date, no?
    Maybe time to rebrand them as The Streamies?
    Give the winners a bag of 0s and 1s?

    Just musing here.

    Oh. I was confused and was thinking of the Emmys. Kindly disregard everything I said. No longer applicable, not to imply that it ever was.
