I was in the Northwest Territories a few years ago, mid January, got to the hotel around 10:00 PM and it was buzzing with activity.  I asked what was going on and they were taking a tour out at midnight to view them, they fly in from all over the world, the tour company dresses them in Arctic clothing and take them out on a frozen lake in the middle of the night for the show.  We are blessed.

There were also 30 brand new Porsches in the parking lot, German engineers beating the **** out of them on the ice roads.  They drove them up from Atlanta, cold weather test them and then drive them back to Atlanta.  Two of them were prototypes and they kept them covered up.

In the late 50s I was able to witness the most awesome display.  I left the state in 65 and have never seen them since.  They were green and looked like a curtain waving in the breeze.  Even on a ship north of the Arctic Circle operating for over a week we never saw them.  What makes my viewing extraordinary is that our farm is in southern Wisconsin north of Madison about 40 miles.

When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

They hit that post hard.  They would have better off hitting a power or telephone pole. probably less damage.  Joe, do you know if anybody died in this incident?

Sorry Terry, I was unable to find any info on the picture, but judging from the guy smiling, I'm guessing no.

Edward Joseph O'Hare, aka "Easy Eddie" (September 5, 1893-November 8, 1939), was a lawyer in St. Louis and later in Chicago, where he began working with Al Capone, and later helped federal prosecutors convict Capone of tax evasion. In 1939, a week before Capone was released from Alcatraz, O'Hare was shot to death while driving. He was the father of Medal of Honor recipient Butch O'Hare, for whom O'Hare International Airport is named.
