NWR: Bettie Page, 1923-2008 RIP

Thanks, Scott. Ms. Page had a difficult slog, but we're all better off for her gifts. My wife spent several years making her living as a figure model, so I think I have some ancillary understanding of the nature of her once-in-a-generation talents, especially in the ridiculously difficult era she worked. She was a great American, unappreciated in her day, but finally in this era given the respect she deserved. We're all better off for her work, even if we don't know it.

Tough day, today.
