Talk:Edward D. Hoch

message: The NY Times had an obituary on Hoch that mentioned Vanishing Velma who disappeared while on a Ferris wheel.  Maybe somebody could summarize that plot -- with spoiler alerts, since it would be interesting to know how she disappeared.
The quote is:
"In his story “The Vanishing of Velma,” a woman disappears from a moving Ferris wheel. In “The Problem of the Candidate’s Cabin,” a murder takes place in a locked cabin containing only the lately departed and a caged chimpanzee." NY Times 1/24/2008

message: In "The Mummy from the Sea" story (1981), Simon Ark's publisher friend says he has known him for 25 years yet does not really believe Simon Ark is 2,000 years old. Every normal human being changes over 25 years. If Simon Ark still looked like he did when he first met him, then he is possibly immortal. If Simon Ark looks 25 years older, then he is a fantasist. I would think most if not all readers had decided Simon Ark was as old as he claimed to be so it would not have hurt for it to be proved in one of the stories. 
In "The Unicorn's Daughter" (1981), it is said that Simon Ark would have passed for a vigorous seventy five (years old). In "The Witch of Park Avenue", it says "Simon lifted himself to his feet" (from a chair) and "Simon lumbered along after me". It appears that Simon Ark is feeling his age, mid-70's or older. There is also the point that Simon Ark is well enough off financially to spend his time travelling the world though he does not work for a living. One might ask how an immortal could get money (especially if he looked 75 years old) whereas a mere human being could have saved money from decades of work or some kind of inheritance, even from his parents.

thread_title: How old is Simon Ark?

message: He does maybe four jobs a year in the 1960's and 1970's so is on $80,000 or more a year. He owns a small house and lives a very simple lifestyle, often sitting on the verandah drinking beer and watching the wage slaves go to work or come home. And he does not pay taxes and being a man about 40, he has no visible means of support. Which bothers no one.(5.8.186.99 (talk) 12:25, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

message: If we are going to include something along the lines of "Davey did not investigate the details of the Horizon Post Office Scandal," then this needs to be added to the pages of the around 15 other Post Office ministers who failed to do so. Also, it is categorically incorrect to say he "refused to meet affected sub-postmasters," because he was the first (and only) minister to meet Alan Bates, in October 2010.

message: On March 30, 1993, it was announced that Gil Stein, who at the time was the president of the National Hockey League, would be inducted into the Hall of Fame. There were immediate allegations that he had engineered his election through manipulation of the hall's board of directors. Due to these allegations, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman hired two independent lawyers, Arnold Burns and Yves Fortier, to lead an investigation. They concluded that Stein had "improperly manipulated the process" and "created the false appearance and illusion" that his nomination was the idea of Bruce McNall. They concluded that Stein pressured McNall to nominate him and had refused to withdraw his nomination when asked to do so by Bettman. There was a dispute over McNall's role and Stein was "categorical in stating that the idea was Mr. McNall's." They recommended that Stein's selection be overturned, but it was revealed Stein had decided to turn down the induction before their announcement.

When we swam out to the island it was deep for 30 or so feet and the movie Jaws just came out, we swam fast as we could.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlbarton (talk • contribs) 03:51, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Edward Gregson

message: I changed Layfield's job from a promotion to an appointment and Black Sailor changed it back, which is where it now is update - see below. Appointment is the language used in the cited ref - Gregson and Roscoe's letters use this term. So promotion might not even be verifiable from that ref. But I actually felt also that appointment was the more correct term - he was appointed into this post, presumably against opposing candidates both internal and external, so the key fact it seems to me is who was appointed, not that he was promoted. Finally, I am really very unsure that "promotion" is the appropriate term here. It seems to me to have a much narrower scope, like he was an Accounts Clerk who got promoted to Senior Accounts Clerk and then Head Accounts Clerk .. I don't think music colleges work like that! Even if he was previously teaching staff there then I don;t think that "promotion" into the HS job can just be seen as a natural flow. If it is felt important that he had already worked there, then perhaps it should be spelt out - again with references - rather than leaving the reader to infer it, which is what currently seems seemed to be suggested. Having said all that I am not up for an edit war over this, and would welcome others' input. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 14:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
