On several such visits, I got to talking magician talk with a young girl, short with a frizzy mop of dark hair, always wearing a black derby hat, who also spent time there and was a performing clown magician. Turns out she was Larry Fine's grandaughter! - which she never mentioned, but which Jack told me one day after she had left. She did look just like him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041664.post-52708815143508253512011-02-12T15:23:25.567-07:002011-02-12T15:23:25.567-07:00He's the most impressive stage act I've se...He's the most impressive stage act I've seen.

The "store" had things on display shelves and counters. They were crowded with new and used effects and props. But, he would pull out whatever was the newest device he had gotten, which he often did not display. But, there was the back room. This was a large area with lots of old stage effects, props, etc. It reminded me of someone's storage garage. He did not usually show it to customers, not even "famous" ones, such as The Amazing Randi who came by one day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041664.post-64700370239890901272009-09-08T04:09:15.128-07:002009-09-08T04:09:15.128-07:00whichever came first, its awesomely entertaining !...whichever came first, its awesomely entertaining !!:DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041664.post-58341540230357823582009-08-26T20:36:43.168-07:002009-08-26T20:36:43.168-07:00congratulations soma

Many relate not to Gage directly, but rather to people he met or places he’d been. FOR MORE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS, and how the answers might help us better understand Phineas, please visit www.deakin.edu.au/hmnbs/psychology/gagepage/PgQuestn.php .<br /> <br />Information might be in letters and diaries; medical and business records; town, police and court files; local newspapers; or in the archives of churches, hospitals and literary, professional, historical and genealogical societies. We especially hope organizations will search their one-of-a-kind materials not published in book form.<br /><br />IN CHILE (1852-60): We want to know about Drs. William and Henry Trevitt, Masonic lodges, Methodist churches, and English-language newspapers, schools and businesses. Do you know anyone who can help with such things?<br /><br />IN NEW ENGLAND (1848-54): Can you find newspaper or diary accounts of Phineas’ accident, of his travels exhibiting himself and his “iron,” or of his reported preaching at Methodist revivals in Sterling, Mass.? In Concord, NH records of the Abbot-Downing coachworks could identify “three enterprising New Englanders” who may have set up the coach line for which Phineas drove in Chile; in Hanover you might discover Phineas’ duties at Currier’s Inn, or a Dartmouth professor who met him; and somewhere in Wilton may be the papers of Henry Trevitt.<br /><br />IN CALIFORNIA (1860- ): Where is the missing undertaker’s ledger showing where Gage died? What can you discover about Dr. William Jackson Wentworth (Alameda Co.) or the papers of Joseph Stalder (d.1931)? Are you descended from Phineas’s nieces/nephew Hannah, Delia, Mary, Alice, or Frank B.Shattuck? Can we learn more about Frank at the School for the Deaf? <br /><br />IN OHIO (1860- ): Can you find anything about Henry Trevitt’s time at Starling Medical College in Columbus, Prof. J.W. Hamilton, or William Trevitt’s papers?<br /><br />ANYWHERE: If you are related to the Cowdrey, Davis, Ames, or Kimball families, are you also related to Phineas’ doctor, John Martyn Harlow? Do you know of ship passenger lists (Boston, New York, Chile, Panama, S.F.) that might show Gage family movements? Do you have Gold Rush ancestors who stopped in Valparaiso, Chile? And of course, letters mentioning Gage could have gone anywhere.<br /><br />There are more clues in Stillwater and Northfield, MN; Santa Clara, San Rafael, and S.F., CA; Cavendish, Castleton, Woodstock, and Burlington, VT; Lebanon and Enfield, NH; Albany, NY, Buda, IL, the National Library of Medicine, and other places. At www.deakin.edu.au/hmnbs/psychology/gagepage/PgQuestn.php are details on how you can help by following such clues. Your help or inquiries to malcolm.macmillan@unimelb.edu.au will be very much appreciated. (Please use email instead of posting a reply here.)<br /><br />We would be pleased to assist teachers (in New England, S.F., even Chile?) in creating a class project involving students’ search for family papers or local lore about Gage.Matthew L.

I've read some pretty vivid descriptions of Gage's story, as well as seen dramatic re-enactments (e.g., in the PBS series _The Brain_--or was it _The Mind_, I get those two confused).Lippardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16826768452963498005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9041664.post-47565562578858773332009-06-27T06:54:24.888-07:002009-06-27T06:54:24.888-07:00Hello, I'am George.
