Comments: The long reach of time
There is a statue of old Albert down in Canal Park in Duluth, Minnesota where he lived. It's been years since I lived in Duluth, a religiously liberal town. Let's hope the "no more war toys" psycho SJWs haven't succeeded in getting it removed.

Last one's gone? Time to change history; too "good" for us, say the SJW class.

We boomers are the last generation with even a tangential connection to the 19th century. Older actors, even from the early "talkies," were born and were children in that century.
My Great Grandfather, Pavel Estyfeyev, was a Russian air pioneer, who won my great grandmother in a card game in Irkutsk, Siberia, in the 1890's. The Bolsheviks killed him in Archangelsk, but this bought time for his wife and daughter to board ship for Sweden.

With some luck, the SJW's might just get to kvetch about the Second Civil War. That will really rankle them
