Strangely Diahann Carroll came up in a conversation last week. My Mom always watched Julia and commented that it was about time. I was not sure what she meant back then. Mom was kind of an Eleanor Roosevelt type liberal. She never created a scene amongst the mainly conservative locals but always made sure us kids were aware of race issues. This was in a small town in NH where as far as I know there were no Afro Americans. The next town over had two Afro American families and we just accepted them as kids do, but of course were aware that they had darker skin and some made fun of that.
Miss you Mom and thanks for what you taught me.

René Auberjonois, best known for his roles in “Boston Legal” and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” died at his home in Los Angeles due to metastatic lung cancer. He was 79.
His son Rèmy-Luc confirmed the news to the Associated Press.
His first film role came with “MASH,” in which he played Father Mulcahy
He played shape-shifter Changeling Odo in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,”
https://variety.com/2019/tv/people-...ace-nine-boston-legal-benson-mash-1203429137/
Auberjonois was born in New York City. His father, Swiss-born Fernand Auberjonois (1910–2004), was a Cold War-era foreign correspondent and Pulitzer Prize-nominated writer. His paternal grandfather, also named René Auberjonois, was a Swiss post-Impressionist painter. His mother, Princess Laure Louise Napoléone Eugénie Caroline Murat (1913–1986), was a great-great granddaughter of Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon's marshals and King of Naples during the First French Empire, and his wife, Caroline Bonaparte, Napoleon's youngest sister.
Auberjonois wrote that his French family name, an uncommon one in the U.S., means "armorer", or one who makes armor.[SUP][4][/SUP]
His maternal grandmother, Hélène Macdonald Stallo (1893–1932), was an American, from Cincinnati, Ohio; his maternal grandfather's mother was a Russian noblewoman, Eudoxia Michailovna Somova (1850–1924), and his maternal grandfather's paternal grandmother, Caroline Georgina Fraser (1810–1879), who was married to Prince Napoleon Lucien Charles Murat, was an American, from Charleston, South Carolina.

An iconic sea stack that was adored by generations of tourists and nature photographers now is scattered in many pieces along the shoreline of Lake Superior -- all thanks to Mother Nature's wrath.
The sea stack that welcomed visitors to Tettegouche State Park in Silver Bay, Minnesota, was a national tourist attraction until it was destroyed by powerful wind-driven waves that toppled the ancient rock formation into the lake during the weekend of Nov. 30-Dec.1.
