The story of Dorothy Day https://youtu.be/BDBKRJyuuy0?si=Gs5V0CHLvYtRorNb Another Catholic activist was Ammon Hennacy, who ran the Joe Hill House in Salt Lake City. He spoke at the University of Oregon when I was a graduate student. After his presentation, he said his next gig was in Seattle, and he needed $30 travel expenses. He literally passed the hat. It came back filled with money, probably hundreds of dollars. Hennacy dumped the money on a table, took out $30, said thank you -- and left! We were stunned. What do we do now?

I met the filmmaker online when she was looking for help with her first film story. It worked out so well we did a second project, this time from my story.

Remembering the four-minute mile

When I was in high school, and a sports fan, there was periodic speculation about whether or not the mile could be run in under four minutes. Track stars were trying but always failed. Then in 1954 a miler named Roger Bannister took to a track in Oxford, England, and the rest is history. This Day In History tells the story: https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/first-four-minute-mile This sort of thing -- folks believing "it can't happen" -- occurs all the time. When I was managing editor of Oregon Business Magazine in the 1980s, we published a special issue addressing the question, "Will the Dow Jones Average ever break 1000?" (Today the Dow was almost 39,000! By June, 2022, 1755 milers had broken 4 minutes.) Remarkably enough, online I found a film of the event -- narrated by Bannister himself! https://youtu.be/wTXoTnp_5sI?si=PBdrv3ezkEfCP-SA Back to top cdlivhw.blogspot.com
