<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 43674, member: 44"]I certainly agree. Writing that well on a blackboard/chalkboard and in such level lines is not easy. No doubt she had literally years of experience. I tried to read the writing and ID the pictures with little luck on the pics. The first column is on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow with a listing of some of his works such as <i>The Psalm of Life, My Lost Youth, Three Friends of Mine, An April Day, The Reaper and the Flower, Resignation, The Builders, The Ladder of St. Augustine, The Fire of Driftwood, Miles Standish</i>, etc. I can't read the 2nd column. The 3rd column is titled "Plan for Studying." Thinking the pics might relate to Longfellow, I tried to ID them. The top pic is of a multi gabled house or a line of attached houses. Seeing the gables I thought <i>The House of Seven Gables</i> or Longfellow's house. It is neither. I thought the 4th pic down of a heavy set bearded man might be Longfellow himself. It is not him. He had quite a mane of white hair and a fuller white beard. Gee, that pic looks like the notorious, infamous, Boss Tweed of Tammany Hall New York City. Boss Tweed & Longfellow certainly had nothing in common. So much for my sleuthing abilities. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
