rostasi Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 Ray Charles learned to play chess while in rehab for his heroin addiction. He played on a specially designed board with raised and lowered squares, allowing him to differentiate between the light and dark. The pieces had round or pointed tops according to their color.

rostasi Posted September 24 Report Share Posted September 24 "Yesterday [Sept. 8, 2024], we welcomed 18 wonderful Veterans who worked at Bletchley Park during WW2 to return to the once top-secret site for the Annual Veterans’ Reunion. Aged between 97 to (almost) 102, Veterans enjoyed an afternoon tea in the Mansion, spending time together, with family and friends and reminiscing on their wartime experiences. Hazel Halter, who worked in the Naval Section during WW2, is now 99 years old and attended the reunion for the first time. She said: "I am so glad I came here to my first reunion. I have had a most enjoyable time. I was so happy during my time working at Bletchley Park, with wonderful friends. It has brought back so many lovely memories."

Photo by Andre Sas I first saw a pic of Miles with Juliette Greco on that bop album "Miles-Dameron in Paris 1949", which is one of the most exiting bop albums of the whole period, in the same line with Parker´s "One Night at Birdland" and "Summit Meeting at Birdland". She seems to have been a very nice girl, beautiful brown eyes and long natural hair. It´s not hard to believe that Miles fell in love with her. But did Miles speak French ? I mean enough to really get to know and understand a French Girl ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall hearing that their relationship was conducted without either speaking the other language - Greco was asked on film about this.
