Thanks again, folks. I’m happy as long as people remember the victims and survivors for their lives apart from the disaster. My goal in writing on the passengers is to give some perspective on their individuality. The most important thing left to Titanic researchers is to record the lives of those who experienced the event in a way that sheds light on their personalities, not just what they did on April 14.
To Doug —— good to "see" you here. What’s next? I don’t know. I am always working on several projects at once because I get bored easily and have to turn to something else. Rene Harris and Edith Russell are the subjects of long-languishing, half-written stories. As you know, I report community news for local papers so finding the time to write anything else as the holiday season starts will be tough. But Rene and Edy are at the top of the list whenever I get around to doing another Titanic related biography.
To Grant —— I had nothing to do with the article appearing on the front page. Phil Hind is the editor and owner of the site. All new articles get front-page exposure for a time. There’s nothing special about mine being featured in this way. I have written only about 4 articles for ET over a 3 year period so I’m nowhere near prolific, that’s for sure!
Inger — Glad you liked it, if that’s what you were trying to say!
