RIP


Artist and designer Viktor Schreckengost (1906-2008):
"Chances are that almost every adult in America has ridden in, drunk out of, eaten off of, mowed their lawns with, sat on, placed a call with, lit the night with, hid their hooch in or had an arm or leg replaced with something created by Viktor Schreckengost."
The news notes that he died from "unspecified causes." How about the fact that he was nearly 102 years old?







book: Murder in Little Italy by Victoria Thompson. Midwife Sarah Brandt in NYC just before the turn of the last century.
