Lizzie’s First Vlog
Very clever! This goes in the wish I thought of that category!
Lizzie and her axe
In an opinion piece in the Ledger Dispatch of Jackson, CA, letter writer Joe Dirickx penned a letter titled “More handgun laws are not the answer.” He cites various instances where major crimes were committed by people who would have stopped at nothing to do their dastardly deeds. Of course, here we have the standard […]

Personal Response Systems and Lizzie
Lizzie makes the news in such unexpected ways! Personal response systems are like televsion remote clickers, and are used by teachers and others to assess learning and opinions in real time.

I found a lovely article about Pine Ridge Cemetery—known as the final resting place from some rather famous pets, including Richard Byrd’s dog Igloo and Lizzie Borden’s beloved dogs Donald Stuart, Royal Nelson, and Laddie Miller. Link to Boston.com From my own collection of my visit there in August of 2006.

Lizzie and Parricide
Thanks to Harry Widdows for the image! It seems whenever there is a case of a child killing their parent(s), the writer mentions Lizzie Borden. Such infamy is strange considering she was acquitted, but history and reporters will not allow the verdict to stem their interest in her as a cold-blooded killer. Take this recent […]
