  Hollywood’s Original Dynamic Duo Humphrey Bogart and John Huston will forever be associated primarily for three classic films they made together; " The Maltese Falcon ," (1941), “ Treasure Of The Sierra Madre " (1948), and " The African Queen " (1951). In all Bogart appeared in six films that were written and directed by Huston, a seventh, " High Sierra " (1941), was written by Huston,however, because he left Hollywood to serve with director Frank Capra's World War Two film unit, Raoul Walsh directed Bogart in the film that launched his film career. Despite not directing, Huston's brilliance can be felt throughout, especially his treatment of the complex character, Roy Earle - a well known criminal and killer with a surprisingly soft heart. Bogart's second billing, behind Ida Lupino , showed his status as filming began on the movie that would elevate him from B movies and minor roles to bona-fide Hollywood stardom.  Bogart and Huston

  The Notorious Small Murder A True Story Reported By Jeff Hayford  One of the most notorious true crime stories to come from New England, took place in the small town of Center Ossipee, New Hampshire and quickly became one of the most written and talked about events of the time. The story began on the morning of September 28th, 1916 when local residents took Frederick Small from his home on Ossipee Lake to the train station where he left for Boston. That evening Small hired someone to bring him back by car after being told his home was on fire and his wife Florence could not be found. Early the next morning he arrived to find his home burned to the ground presumably with his wife still inside. Investigators claimed it was clear the fire had been intentionally set, finding kerosene and a fire pattern consistent with arson but Frederick wasn't suspected because there was no doubt he had been in Boston when the fire broke out. Later that day things took a drastic change, while invest

  The Iroquois Tribes They Call Me, "Many Irons." I've always been busy and multitasking, and I'm nearly 1/2 Iroquois Native American. When I was first invited to a circle meeting with tribal elders, the Chief looked at me and asked the Native woman who bought me, "who is the blue eyes?" She told him how she'd found me and how I'm connected with them. He looked at me again, carefully up and down, then said to me "welcome my son, you shall be called, " Many Irons ." I was amazed, he made me like family and so appropriately named.   They're remarkably intuitive, and wonderful people, being with them is unforgettable. Ever since that circle, and a Peace Pipe puff, I've been learning more about my heritage. It's rather strange because my other side is nearly all British. There was a huge war where my family settled in New Hampshire that ended similarly in many ways to Custer's Last Stand, 200 years earlier. The Natives kill

Share Your Zeitgeist Collective positive energy and thoughts connect and become very powerful, there are many examples if you look thru history. One of my favorites is looking at all Boston sports teams improvement and championships during the past 16 years OR since the Pats one the '01 Super Bowl it launched a new Zeitgeist. Prior to that totally unexpected major upset Patriots win, the year after the Red Sox lost the American League championship painfully in seven games to the Yankees in you could say to a Red Sox fan "they're looking good"' early in the season and the usual reply was "yea, just wait 'til September." Negative Zeitgeist "collective outlook" was the real "Curse of the Bambino." After the Patriots won the shocker - fans began to BELIEVE collectively. The following season, they broke many records with the greatest championship series comeback, in baseball history - winning four straight in NY and Fenway after lo

S ince it began in April of 1994, TCM - Turner Classic Movies has been dialed in on my TV more than any other channel. Since my childhood I've been fond of old movies, however it wasn't until TCM began showing them without commercials 24/7 that I fully realized why and what an abundance of them we have to treasure. The more I learned about The Golden Age Of Hollywood and it's iconic stars, the more I learned there is to love. At the time I'd never heard of the late Robert Osborne, but it didn't take long for me to become extremely impressed by his unique insight as he introduced films and interviewed many legendary actors for the " Private Screenings " and " The Essentials " programs. In the 90's there were many stars of films from as early as the 1930's still living and thankfully for fans, many of them loved being brought back into the public eye and sharing countless fascinating stories that now live on forever.
