        Maybe Hitch saw the pic and it twigged something with him?

        I just love all of your posts. The Sinatra letter the other day was amazing. Little nuggets of history should be read by all...

        How was that picture taken? In 1938 no drones, no modern helicopters. Balloon? Autogyro?

        I wonder what country he immigrated from, and what his family has contributed to the country since...Lady Liberty is still standing.

        That's a good question. I think that the torch is a good guess.

        Same steeplejack in this photo, I think. (What ever the opposite of acrophobia is, this guy had it in spades!) (Photo source: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2464431/Think-skywalking-photographs-modern-craze-Vintage-images-brave-souls-doing-1930s.html …)pic.twitter.com/9QdEmuVc4K
