Comment on The World’s Most Dangerous Toy by Frederick van der Merwe

I’ve fly an American Double Eagle weight shift for a long time from about 1980 to 1987 and still believe it was the safest ultralight ever build. Petty there are so little information left these days.

Sara, great as always! I almost missed this one. Did you send out a notice? BTW, it probably has no bearing but Tremont is the name of one of the main streets in downtown Boston. I believe it was named for a revoluntionary ( revolution ) hero. You are a talented lady and thanks for sharing.

Jerry, you aren’t the least bit confused. You’re just perceptive.

Thank you so much Sybil, Sue and U.

Now I remember “Mizriz,” but I had completely forgotten that. And I would not have been able to remember who said it.

For those who are interested, the street names in the story are our real original street names. I assume they were assigned to the various streets when the town was laid out, about 1890. But it could’ve been in the 1900 revival of our ghost town. I wish I knew who Howard, Wilder, Tremont, Eccles, etc. were. Maybe investors in the original real estate or railroads? I will try to find out. And I have no clue of the reason all their names were abandoned or exactly when that was. I will try to find out.

lots of good words, especially “waste.” “now,now, don’t you waste that milk on the counter.” i can hear B. still,speaking in her soft, mellow tones. i also liked your explaination of Miz. we said Miz, but the children from the mill village often said Mizriz. do you remember? I like Miz Shine;I like that she is quiet, busy, and observant.
