Pretty Boy's Death Mask Updated
Arthur (Pretty Boy) Floyd was one of America's most wanted men when he was cornered and killed by lawmen near E. Liverpool, Ohio on Oct. 22, 1934. He was transported to a local funeral home where he was put on display for crowds to see. A death mask was made by the proprietor of the funeral home and is now on display there. The big difference is that it is now a bed and breakfast.- 5

The Paper House Updated
The fall 2014 edition of our magazine had fun with the theme of Rock, Paper, Scissors and included stories about everything from a Wall of Scissors to a Waffle Rock and a Paper House. In this podcast we visit with Edna Beaudoin, who is the current caretaker of the Paper House, which is located in the scenic seaside town of Rockport, MA just north of Boston. What started out as a summer project in the 1920’s became a life long passion for an engineer named Ellis Stenman who used over 100,000 pieces of newsprint to complete the project. His grand niece Edna tends to the family heirloom which is open to visitors from April through October.- 7
