Hans Falle Bruhn Cramer was one of 1,960 Danish police who were arrested and taken to Buchenwald in the fall of 1944. Hans died there before the liberation, leaving a wife and four children.
He's so peaceful to listen to. Takes me back to my childhood ❤
My favorite town in the country where I never get home sick. Gettysburg is such a beautiful place.
My son and I sorry Confederate ghost in the wheat field at dusk. Who was staring more at the car than us. He was trying to shreds and leaning on a musket.
I've seen a few like that in Ohio, bahahaha But it's good to know why they made it like that, but why couldn't they put walls up weird? lol

I can see myself in these comments. i want to tell my relatives to have a deterrent but i've never talked to anyone about it, so hard
And now it’s 2024. Yep, we talking about it.
If you’re not still sitting on rivets you’re doing it wrong.
I went for a visit with a friend in Vietnam. A veteran who now has a wife a three story house a block or two from the ocean. You rented me a motorbike but I could not cross the road with other bikes coming and mine trying to weave between them..... I did not have the courage to stay and learn how to cope with all those bikes around me and me just sitting on mine. I now live in Bangkok and the motorbikes here are not nearly so numerous or so troublesome. These are honey bees here and in Vietnam I found Wasps because of their number. That was around 2018.
18 years ago The Children’s Institute helped my child immensely! I’ve always believed that, if given the opportunity to pay it forward, I would work there and help other children and parents. I have now been there for a little over 2 years and it’s so fulfilling to me to see the great things we do there! Every small achievement each child makes is wholeheartedly awesome and Amazing!
Thank you for sharing! <3

By acknowledging that the United States Of America is NOT a Democracy!! We are a Constitutional Republic with a Three Tiered Representative government. The US Constitution and Bill of Rights is the Supreme Law of the Land!! We have individual rights that a tyrannical government cannot abuse (even though they do) and it's NOT a majority rule!!
Unfortunately, their brother Jake Cuccia passed away on February 23, 2024. He was only 35. (I’m not sure how he died or what his cause of death was). I can’t imagine how Saige (the only one of out of the 3 who is alive) and the entire Cuccia family feels - especially the parents. What a heartbreaking journey it’s been for all of them.
Thanks so very much for the great video about dancers. Centering the stage and pointing to the discriminatory treatment and practices imposed upon our black dancer. And more importantly to our female dancer.
I Live in Pittsburgh and Truly appreciate These! Have one in my house that is considered My bathroom
This is a wonderful EMS story, although unfortunately, somewhat obscure. I only learned about Freedom House ambulance about 5 years ago. I thank them for being true EMS pioneers. My wife, Penny started working in EMS in 1969. She and I eventually worked together as EMT/Paramedic partners on the ambulance in Saginaw Michigan for decades (70s, 80s and 90s). She then transitioned into dispatch and me into training. Penny had 53 years of service before she passed away suddenly in 2020. I still work in EMS as a Paramedic Instructor Coordinator. 48 years and counting. Penny, I love and miss you, my wonderful wife. But life goes on.
I've done Pittsburg lefts. Hadn't heard about this before.

I doubt there has ever been a more emotionally intelligent person than Mr. Rogers. I believe that his capacity for empathy is unmatched by anyone I have ever known about. The scarcity of empathy in today's society is a great tragedy and as time goes on, will be the death of humanity. Mr. Rogers did everything a person could do with what little time we have on Earth, to stave that eventual dismal end off.
Bravo on all you do. 🫶🏼
Hie madam can you help me pliz to get a job lm an operator front n londer
Love PGH, lot of great memories of 70s Steelers and Pirates. Great sports town, great people. I live in Florida IRB Beach and would never move back. PGH is a great place to visit.
So it's like being in the joint, but in your own home. Nice. Nothing helps me relax like concrete walls and cold.
Great thumbnail pic in front of my alma mater.
I've got to say that this film is pretty stereotypical in its message. It is reinforcing the stigma by showing people repeating it and not encouraging them to really dig into themselves to share what the experience after very long bouts of isolation
I seem to remember that in the late 70's there was also an "O" in East Liberty. Does anyone recall that?
We had showers and lockers at J & L on 2nd. Street. You could go home cleaned up if you wanted to. As a summer college hire I had some DIRTY JOBS and appreciated a shower afterwards.
The gang wars played a significant part...
By JANE ANN MORRISON, LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, December 16, 2013 --The basics are well known to Las Vegans. Actress Carole Lombard died in a plane crash on Mount Potosi southwest of Las Vegas on Jan. 16, 1942, coming back from a trip selling war bonds just weeks after war broke out in the Pacific. But author Robert Matzen provides plenty of details and insights into why Lombard was on that plane when she shouldn’t have been and why she essentially died because of her fatal flaw - impatience. Before she left to raise money for the war effort, Lombard and her husband, Clark Gable, fought over his relationship with actress Lana Turner. After completing her commitment to raise money for the war, Lombard wanted to rush home to make up. Matzen does more than tell the story of how Lombard lived and died at 33; he researched the lives of the other 21 people who also died that night. He told the story of the people who struggled to rescue any survivors. And the grim story of recovering their remains. Matzen’s “Fireball: Carole Lombard and the Mystery of Flight 3” speculates about why the crash even occurred. No official cause was ever given; but after eliminating the other possibilities, such as sabotage, mechanical failure and pilot error, he offers a reasonable theory. I won’t blurt it out here, but it sounds plausible. This book should appeal to movie watchers (which I am) and to aviation experts (which I am not). “I tried to make this very much a story about Las Vegas and the really cool people who lived there. A story about the desert, about Goodsprings, about Blue Diamond. I went for that local flavor,” Matzen said in a phone interview Thursday from his home outside Pittsburgh. The recent cold spell made it easier to imagine how the rescue party, led by Lyle Van Gordon and Jack Moore, struggled to climb up Mount Potosi 30 miles southwest of Las Vegas, only to find pieces of bodies flung across the snow. Matzen’s descriptions were stomach-turning. “I went into that level of detail because I wanted to say this is what rescuers and responders saw,” he explained. Although it had been reported before, Matzen said he was able to get people to open up more about the fight between Lombard and Gable over Turner. The book is now available on Amazon; but just before it went to press, Matzen found a woman, one of four people bumped from Flight 3. She is 94 and lived in Albuquerque and was the only one still living and able to discuss what it was like to, by chance, live instead of die. In his prologue, Matzen described hiking up to the crash site and realizing “this wasn’t just Carole Lombard’s story. It was the pilot’s story and the co-pilot’s and the stewardess’. It was the story of 15 Army Air Corps personnel who died, men as young as 19 and as old as 28, and it was the story of three other civilians.” So Matzen wrote about all of them. One particularly poignant aspect is his listing all the things which, if they had happened differently, would have meant Lombard would have lived. Although warned by government officials to take the train, she took a flight from Indiana to Hollywood. She pushed her way onto a crowded flight by using her movie-star clout, bumping three men from the U.S. Army Air Corps, who ended up living as a result. She ignored her mother’s pleas to not fly, as well as MGM press official Otto Winkler. When she insisted, both died in the crash with her. She and Winkler flipped a coin about whether to fly or take the train. He lost.
Not "petite" Anna, you are only 1" below average for a woman.
There is something about watching an expert, in any field. Some one who is enthusiastic and skilled, It lifts the spirits.
Wasn't expecting my pap to have a 3 second cameo. Rest in Peace, Vic. (3:00 - Right)
Loved Joe for years ! Remember him from local shows out of Pittsburgh from the 1960s !!❤❤
They should go fly in Kenya with their Kenyan hero Barry Pothead Seotero
