The Empire State Story: Jack Lundberg


Here's the recording of John (or Jack, as he was more known by) Lundberg for the BBC show The Empire State Story! I love that there's a picture of his kids too! (Yay, Jacque was on TV too. :P) So cool! Definitely sounded like an interesting experience lol

Ingrid came up for a quick visit and mom and I had dinner with her today..always fun to hang out with her lol

Today's trivia: Many of history's biggest disasters are caused by lack of sleep. The Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Challenger explosion and the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown were all caused in one way or another by exhaustion and lack of sleep on the part of the people who were responsible for preventing such disasters

Yay I found another used bookstore to go to! They had a LOT of books..like they had an entire room just for mystery books. They tried to be organized, but still had books on piles on the floor..my bookstore has me spoiled I think. :P It was also in a neighborhood..THAT would be a dangerous place to live next to LOL. Mom dropped me off and went to find a quilt store, but it wasn't there (ouch!), so she bought some quilt books at the bookstore instead :P

Yesterday I found treasure: a recording of the show John Lundberg was on about the Empire State Building!! I recorded it onto a DVD (modern technology ftw :P), and when I get home I'll record it on my phone and post it here! Grandpa has a DVD he recorded of both the shows he was on, but it was recorded without sound! Good thing he kept the original tape lol. So happy I finally have a copy of my own now. :D We also watched some home movies and looked at more old pics, and in the same box were letters (and a telegram!) from his dad! So cool! I HATE watching/hearing recordings of myself, but thought it would be ok since I was like 5 years old..nope, still super weird and uncomfortable lol. There were some of Nana and John and Jacquie and others at the buffalo farm in Wisconsin, at grandpa's old house, and various other places. Grandpa keeps thanking me for showing him old stuff lol..it's fun to reminisce :)

I can't believe today is our last full day in Florida already! That went fast. Our flight leaves at 5 PM..I'm glad we don't have to get up early lol. So glad I could get some great pics of my ancestors too! Grandpa's cats aren't very cuddly, so I'll be glad to see Abby and cuddle with her lol
