wartime Manhattan's OTHER Project: "Aktion 4f"

Michael Marshall is trying to butter me up for something, I am not sure what !

He has just blogged, specifically crediting me for making him change the title of his ebook.

Not true, I don't really get this new title  "Aktion 4F" .

He explained to me that Martin Henry Dawson was trying to rebuke all Aktion T4 type thinking,( sacrificing those "4Fs of the 4Fs" judged to be 'life unworthy of life') not just in Germany but in America as well.

But it is true that I always liked his original title of "Wartime Manhattan's Other Project"  and always pushed for it - and he seems to have brought it back , at least a subtitle.....

SPACE AND PLACE art show at Seaforth Community Hall

All through January , Rowland Marshall is displaying some of his acrylic paintings (and at least one oil painting done in Bermuda in 1948), at the Seaforth Community Hall.

Seaforth is along Highway 207, part of Marine Drive and the highway through Seaforth really hugs the open ocean - you can see clear through to Portugal !

This isn't the first time Rowland has displayed some of his paintings - far from it - but I think it might be his first solo show and definitely his first solo show in Seaforth .

A group in that community sponsors a different local artist each month to hang on the walls of Seaforth's Community Hall - which has one of the nicest sea views of any community hall along the Eastern Shore.

I'd put it right up there with the view from the Petpeswick Yacht Club when they have an Art Show.

A e-book catalogue of the show is in the works - I might even take some of the photos for it.....

See you there - grand opening is this Sunday, Jan 9 2011 - see below:
