    THE FOSSIL Official Publication of The Fossils, Inc., Historians of Amateur Journalism Volume 106, Number 3, Whole Number 344, Glenview, Illinois, April 2010 SOME MIXED NEWS FOR YOU PRESIDENT'S REPORT Guy Miller First some really good news. Membership Chair Martha Shivvers has assured us that, even though a stroke just two weeks after her 95th birthday threatened to limit drastically her activities, she has recovered sufficiently to be able to continue her unmatched service to The Fossils. We rejoice, not only because she would have been most difficult to replace, but more importantly, because she has made such marvelous recovery. I am certain that all of you are elated to receive this news. Another happy event was mine this February when at the behest of former student and long- time friend, Ken Metzgar, I ventured a visit to his home in Tempe, Arizona. Ken made certain that I was in Tucson on February 12 to celebrate with Louise Lincoln her 98th birthday. You will want to know that Louise is comfortable and happy with the care she receives in a beautiful assisted living residence. As a matter of fact her care givers invited Ken and me to share the occasion with a generous slice of Louise's red-ribbon birthday cake. At present Louise is working on another issue of her Kitchen Stove which she produces for members of NAPA. Also Ken arranged for me to visit with AAPA President Mike O'Connor in Fountain Hills where I was Mike's luncheon guest and later had the opportunity of examining his print shop and conversing face-to-face with Dean Rea by way of the internet.

To the Honorable, the Common Council : GENTLEMEN-I have the honor herewith to submit to your Honorable Body my Annual Report concerning the care of the Parks and Parkways of the City of Brooklyn and of the County of Kings, which have been under my charge during the year 1895. There have been more than the usual developments in the way of care and improvement of the parks, and in addition there has been an acquisition of property which doubles the area of park lands existing at the beginning of the year, thus placing the city somewhat on a par with other great cities of the country. Steps have also been taken in the direction of increas- ing the pleasure drives, and the County now owns nearly all the property needed for the creation of the most charming drive in the world-the Hay Ridge Parkway, or, as it is popularly called, the Shore Drive.

  • Old Buildings, New Views Recent Renovations Around Town Have Uncovered Views of Manhattan That Had Been Hiding in Plain Sight
    The New York Times: Real Estate May 7, 2021 Old Buildings, New Views Recent renovations around town have uncovered views of Manhattan that had been hiding in plain sight. By Caroline Biggs Impressions: 43,264,806 While New York City’s skyline is ever changing, some recent construction and additions to historic buildings across the city have revealed some formerly hidden, but spectacular, views to the world. These views range from close-up looks at architectural details that previously might have been visible only to a select few, to bird’s-eye views of towers and cupolas that until The New York Times: Real Estate May 7, 2021 recently could only be viewed from the street. They provide a novel way to see parts of Manhattan and shine a spotlight on design elements that have largely been hiding in plain sight. The structures include office buildings that have created new residential spaces, like the Woolworth Building in Lower Manhattan; historic buildings that have had towers added or converted to create luxury housing, like Steinway Hall on West 57th Street and the Waldorf Astoria New York; and brand-new condo towers that allow interesting new vantages of nearby landmarks. “Through the first decades of the 20th century, architects generally had the belief that the entire building should be designed, from sidewalk to summit,” said Carol Willis, an architectural historian and founder and director of the Skyscraper Museum. “Elaborate ornament was an integral part of both architectural design and the practice of building industry.” In the examples that we share with you below, some of this lofty ornamentation is now available for view thanks to new residential developments that have recently come to market.
