There was tragic airplane crash into the Empire State Building in 1945: http://www.archive.org/details/Pa2107Empire

I spent a weekend in Woodbury, Connecticut. It’s a very old area with many houses and buildings over 200 years old. I found this book about the history of the area: http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofancient01cothr#page/n3/mode/2up

When we returned to San Francisco one of our party discovered a dreaded Deer tick on her leg. I found this document on Lyme disease: http://www.archive.org/stream/lymediseasediagn00unit#page/10/mode/2up
