Turn of the century correspondence
Tumblr media
Correspondance, ca. 1900
I regularly send cards with handwritten messages to friends and family, so I couldn't resist a piece of correspondence that depicts... correspondence. I'm struck by how modern the design of this postcard looks. The artist Henri Meunier was a Belgian illustrator and printmaker who worked in the Art Nouveau style popular during the turn of the 20th century. The bold lines and quiet subject of the postcard remind me a lot of the work of the papercut artist Nikki McClure, whose calendars, posters, and children's books seem to be in just about every bookstore. -- Jessica Grzegorski, Head of Cataloging

devotion ny Kesha Trippett
God's love goes deeper.
"May be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God’s love" Ephesians 3:18, Christian Standard Bible.
Early this morning, the Lord woke me up. He placed on my heart to look up articles about Jessica McClure, or "Baby Jessica," as she is famously known. I was 7 years old when on October 14, 1987, she caught the attention of America when at 18 months, she fell down a 22 ft water well while playing in her aunt's backyard. She was there, in the dark, surrounded by hard rock for 58 hours as many planned her rescue. From the well, she could be heard singing, Winnie the Pooh. From the well, she was heard crying. From the well, she slept as miners dug 30 ft deeper than her fall and wider next to where she was trapped. A paramedic inched his way down the dug hole and across to wrestle her free. Miraculously, she survived and I never forgot it.
The Lord wants you to know today that when you fall, He has already planned your rescue. People may not go that deep in their love for you, but that's okay. God's great love goes deeper than your pit and stretches wider. He finds you no matter where you are and sets you free by His power. No matter how long it takes for Him to deliver you from the situation you've fallen into, He's got you, and He's going to come through for you. It's going to be okay. From the well, sing to Him. From the well, cry out to Him. From the well, hear the truth of His word digging all around you and let it bring to a rest in Him.
Prayer: Thank you, Father, that your love is deeper than my pit. Your love is wider. I forgive anyone who felt they couldn't go that deep with me. They're not you. Thank you for never leaving me or forsaking me. You are my faithful deliver. Deliver me, Father. Let the power of your word go to work for me until I'm standing strong in you on a firm foundation. In Jesus' name, Amen.
(Read Ephesians 3:17-19)

I think at the younger end of UK screen drama we do have the problem that you mostly have to be slim and pretty to get in (the only young-young fat actresses I can think of who get mainstream attention are Nicola Coughlan and Sharon Rooney), but this is misguided. It's misguided because what British TV really, really likes – with the substantial exceptions of the extremely beautiful Suranne Jones, Vicki McClure, Keeley Hawes, and Jodie Whittaker, is a middle-aged/older woman who is either not obviously traditionally attractive, or who can be but who also can look absolutely rough as, with a variety of body types (including very skinny -- but not accompanied by a Romola Garai/Keeley Hawes sort of face). See Siobhan Finneran, Anna Maxwell-Martin, Lesley Sharp, Anne Reid, Imelda Staunton, Monica Dolan, Juliet Stevenson, Brenda Blethyn, Jessica Hynes, Sheila Hancock, Lucy Briers, Fay Ripley, Katherine Kelly. Again, a lot of those women aren't fat, though some are/have been, but even when they're skinny, they're not an American casting call line-up in facial appearance. They're not Carey Mulligan or similar! Boff makes the excellent point re: Coronation Street & Doctors, and I've basically excluded soap actresses here, although Sarah Lancashire started on Corrie, as did Katherine Kelly. And even people like Rebecca Front and Gemma Whelan are probably Too Plain For America.
like idk in terms of diverse casting the body diversity on our flag means death is like nothing i've personally seen. they truly have all shapes and sizes. they have fat actors (plural) on there and they literally just get to exist as fat people without it being A Thing. fucking phenomenal

Baby Jessica
Baby Jessica
Tumblr media
Growing up in the 90's and early 2000's, I remember at the beginning of every school year teachers would show us a video talking about a little girl that fell down the well and had been miraculously rescued. As an adult, I've thought about this case from time to time but didn't really know much about it. I just mainly remembered the moral of the story, to watch your kids and not leave them around things that could hurt them.
The person in this case is Jessica McClure Morales, born on March 26th, 1986, in Midland, Texas. She was born to Chip and Reba (Cissy) McClure, who are described as having been just 18 year old kids that were just starting out. According to one source, the couple got married when Cissy was only 16, and Chip 17.
The first 18 months of her life went by normally, until October 14th, 1987. Jessica was at her aunt Jamie Moore's house, which was also a daycare center. She was playing with four other children in the backyard while under the supervision of her mother Cissy. At some point, there was a phone call which Cissy went to answer and left the children unattended. Minutes later, the children were screaming and Cissy rushed outside to find her daughter gone. Not long after, she discovered that her daughter fell into the 8 inch diameter well, being trapped deep in the shaft. One source states that the dry well had been dug years earlier, and was covered with a flower pot.
Tumblr media
There is very little information as to how Jessica fell down the well, even to this day. Many articles on the story merely state that she fell down the well, and focus more on the rescue efforts that took place.
According to her mother Cissy, there was a heavy rock that allegedly covered the well "to prevent just such an accident". She stated that, "I didn't know what to do. I just ran in and called the police. They were there within three minutes, but it felt like a lifetime.". Her father Chip stated that it was "a nightmare that got worse and worse.".
Tumblr media
Baby Jessica was trapped in the well for the next 58 hours. The shaft was 22 feet below ground and 8 inches wide. Jessica was deep in the ground, beneath layers of rock cited to be harder than granite. The way that she fell ended up leaving her right leg sticking up higher than her arm.
The entire country was captivated by the situation as it was broadcast on news stations all over the US. The situation was covered live on CNN, which was the nations first 24 hour news network at the time. She was dubbed "everybody's baby" and plenty of donations were sent in to her family. The donations totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars, which were set aside in a trust fund for her to inherit at the age of 25.
The rescue team had to use a large rat hole rig, which is a machine that is normally used to plant telephone poles in the ground. The rescue team drilled a 30 inch wide, 29 foot deep hole parallel to the well. The process of saving her was extremely difficult, as they did not want to risk permanently injuring her or breaking her spine.
Tumblr media
Initially it was thought that Jessica could be saved within a day, but the narrow well made things extremely complicated. When this became known, the federal government flew a mining expert to lead the mass amount of people to save her.
While passing the time, Jessica moaned, cried, and even sang songs. The rescuers would listen to her, even being able to tell her moods. When a jackhammer would start up, she would use a "huffy little voice", sounding angry. Though she cried for 80% of the time, rescuers would sometimes ask her to sing. One person stated that they would never forget her singing "Winnie the Pooh".
On October 16th, 1987, Jessica was safely lifted out of the well. She would undergo 15 surgeries in the coming years to treat all of the complications. To this day, she has rheumatoid arthritis (having been diagnosed right before the 10th grade), a scar on her forehead, and a missing toe on her right foot that had been stuck above her arms. While in the well, the position she fell in caused her to catch gangrene, and doctors initially thought that they would have had to amputate her right foot. One doctor believed that he could save her foot, and skin was grafted from her hip to her foot. Unfortunately, her pinky toe had to be amputated.
Tumblr media
Scott Shaw, a young photographer at the time, won a a Pulitzer Prize for his shot of the moment of the rescue.
Without food or water for over 2 days, she was estimated to have been 10-15% dehydrated. Medical personnel decided not to provide her with food and water, fearing that it could do more harm than good in case she had any internal injuries. She could survive for three to four days without water, and a hose was lowered to provide fresh air. A duct would deliver warm air so she wouldn't suffer from hypothermia. She went from 21 pounds to 17.5.
She received a phone call from President Ronald Reagan, and met Vice President George Bush and his wife Barbara Bush, when they visited her in the hospital. The Bush's were former Midland residents themselves.
In 1989, a made for tv movie was created about the incident, featuring many of the real participants participants of the actual rescue and coverage as extras.
There was a parade held for the rescuers, and the lead crew found themselves on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Jessica did not initially know that she was the child who caught the media's attention in 1987. When she got older, she enjoyed watching the show 'Rescue 911', to which there was an episode of Baby Jessica. Jessica had been moved to tears about the story, and had asked her stepmother what the girl's name was. She was told that it was in fact her, who was Baby Jessica.
Tumblr media
She states that she remembers very little, if anything at all of the situation. One source quotes her as having remembered when they got her out. Cissy has stated that Jessica only remembers what she had been told. The situation was never brought up at home when she was growing up, as her mother feared that it would essentially overcome Jessica's life, and she'd be forever surviving the incident. There do not seem to be any photographs of the house that the event happened in, and the dry well has since had a metal plate welded over it.
Jessica's life has since been ordinary. She graduated from high school in 2004, and got married in 2006. She has had 2 children, and now teaches in the same school district that she went to school at. On March 26th, 2011, she gained access to her trust fund which was reportedly to have been 1 million dollars at some point. Unfortunately, with the stock market crash in 2008, her trust fund went to around 300,000 dollars. One source states that it was worth 800,000 dollars. Despite this, she was still able to buy a house, and plans on saving the rest for her children.
Tumblr media
According to one source, Jessica's husband Daniel had been convicted in 2002 of impersonating a federal marshal to steal money from drug dealers. After the incident, Jessica's parents divorced in 1990, citing irreconcilable differences.Cissy remarried and took on the last name Porter. There hasn't been any interaction between her and the media for decades. Jessica's father remarried and had more children after her. He created a facebook page that sometimes updates about anniversaries of the story. He relocated to the Tyler, Texas area and made a living selling aircrafts. Allegedly, one source states that the residents of the Midland area were surprised that her parents' marriage lasted so long. It also states that Cissy studied cosmetology part time at the Aladdin Beauty College, and Chip started his own tractor rental business, which had been a life long dream.
When the couple divorced, there was public backlash as it was revealed that her parents had spent 80,000 dollars of Jessica's trust fund money. Sources state the majority of the money was to start Chip's tractor service company, and the parents bought a house and two cars. Sources allude that Jessica's parents could not deal with the fame, the money, and general media attention that the scenario brought. One source states that there was a rumor that Cissy refused to wait in line at a Denny's, and announced "I'm Jessica's Mother". The couple was rumored to have bought a Mercedes and a Rolls Royce with the trust fund money donated, though in reality they bought a Thunderbird. Cissy is reported to have had nightmares after the incident. Sources state that she would still hear the drills, her daughter's cries, and would wake up in a cold sweat.
Tumblr media
The man who famously brought Jessica out of the well, Robert O'Donnell, met with an untimely demise. Despite being prone to claustrophobia, he agreed to extricate Jessica, his physique was tall and wiry, which was very helpful. Initially, another man offered to go into the tunnel, because he had been born without a collarbone.
Robert was able to grab Jessica by her pant leg and inch her back to safety. He is quoted as saying, "I've saved other people's lives before, but there will be nothing like this again.". Initially, when Robert pulled on her leg, she cried and tried to retract her leg, saying "No!".
The experience of being so down low in the drilled tunnel the rescuers created was compared to lying in a grave. Soon after saving Jessica, he was one of the people that were asked to appear on Oprah; he was also asked to judge the GI Joe American Heroes contest. Many sources state that he became intoxicated with fame, and even asked People magazine to help him write his autobiography. O'Donnell started to get migraines, and started popping pills. His wife kicked him out, and he lost his job when he started passing out at work from the heavy doses of pills. O'Donnell moved in with his mother, and would read his scrapbook alone. There was the inscription 'MY HERO' on it written by his mother in law, and allegedly seeing this would make him angry, and he'd throw the book across the room. O'Donnell is quoted as having said, "This is what ruined my life. I never want to see it again.". When Oklahoma City had been bombed in 1995, he wanted to go help, but didn't have the money for bus fare. Robert's mother noticed a shotgun missing from her ranch in Stanton, Texas. Police found him slumped in his new Ford pickup.
Tumblr media
Robert O'Donnell shot himself a few days later on April 27th. He was 37 years old. Robert Edward O'Donnell is buried in Resthaven Memorial Park in Midland, Texas.
Robert had been a paramedic with the Midland fire department, and had just so happened to be off duty when Jessica fell down the well. His friends stated that Robert never truly recovered from the fame he got as one of the rescuers. Police Sgt. Andy Glasscock stated, "Robert never came out of it. We saved a little girl, but we've all lost a friend. Once the adrenaline subsides, you go into a major depression.".
Sources state that O'Donnell suffered from PTSD after the scenario.

Tumblr media
One of the rescuers from the event, Andy Glasscock, plead guilty to two counts of sexual assault in 2005. He received a 20 year sentence, that was to run concurrently with a 2004 sentence of 15 years in federal prison, to where he was charged with storing explosives and child pornography. Glasscock was one of the EMS workers to rescue Jessica, and was a police officer in Midland. He had been with the police department from 1981 to 2004, of which he was fired on the state charges.
He had been arrested on Christmas Eve of 2003 at his house in Midland. The 50 year old woman in the assault case stated that he "possibly used a narcotic to cause her submission to a sexual assault.". Glasscock stated that he used Zolpidem (Ambien) to sedate the woman before having sex with her.
FBI special agent Bill Vanderland stated that they noticed the explosives when serving a warrant on the sexual assault charges. This prompted an investigation from the FBI, to where they found the child pornography.
Glasscock admitted in federal court to using a hidden camera to film a 12 year old girl undressing, entering, and exiting a shower at his residence. He also admitted to receiving hundreds of images of child pornography and bestiality over his computer from October 2001-December 2003.
Tumblr media
As for the explosives, he admitted to improperly storing more than 400 pounds of high explosives, 1700 blasting caps, a detonator cord, an artillery shell, 2 pipe bombs, and 4 homemade hand grenades. He was credited with 445 days of time served.
Initially, Glasscock admitted to having gone out with the 51 year old woman, but denied raping her. There was a hospital examination though, which showed abrasion and bruises in critical areas of the victim. Glasscock is quoted as having said, "I'm a guy who likes sex, but I don't have to go out and force sex on anybody. I would never do that.".
He admitted to having viewed all types of pornography, but he said he was only interested in having sex with adult women. He asked, "Would I have sex with a little kid?". Glasscock is then quoted as saying, "Have I ever looked at child porn on the computer? Yeah, I have. It's there, and tons of it. I look at that as they're the only thing that's innocent on the whole thing.". (BRO I AM NOT SAYING THAT IN THE VIDEO)
He initially took the woman he raped on a date to restaurant in Odessa, and then to see the Christmas lights in Midland. After leaving the restaurant, he stopped and uncorked a wine bottle while standing at the back door on the passenger side of the vehicle. The victim stated, "He took a while to do this, so I turned around and asked if he needed help. He acted kind of strange and said no, then gave me a plastic cup of wine. He had a camera, which I thought was odd.".
Once they returned to Odessa, she started to black out, and didn't even remember going to her house. She only remembered being in her house and being very relaxed. Glasscock fondled, undressed, and then ultimately assaulted the victim. She kept noticing him with the camera, and repeatedly pushed him away, telling him to stop and leave. Glasscock kept telling her that he would leave in a few minutes.
There were reports that Glasscock raped other women, though no other victims came forth.
Tumblr media
His FBI prison release was scheduled for June 23rd, 2017, he had been serving his sentence in Cumberland, Maryland.
On July 10th, 2016, Andy Glasscock passed away. His funeral was on July 15th, of that year in Midland. He was 64 years old. He is buried at Glenrest Cemetery, in Big Lake, Texas.
Had he still been alive, he would have potentially gotten out of prison around 2021 or 2022.
Andy's daughter remembered him as a "wonderful cop and never used his badge to do something he shouldn't have. He always wanted to help instead of busting down on everybody.".
Sgt. Mike McLain remembered Andy stating, "There's not a guy in the world who ever loved his kids more than Andy.".
Glasscock's ex wife asked that he be dealt with sternly, for using his daughter as a lure to bring her (daughter’s friend) home. In court, he stated, "I got off into sexual addiction like alcohol and drugs. I never meant to hurt anybody. I would never hurt a child. In my heart and soul, there is still good left in me. I have no excuse for what I did. I'm deeply sorry. I never meant to hurt anybody. I'm not a sexual monster. I don't know why I did what I did.".
Defense attorney Jeff Robnett said that Glasscock didn't think his experience with the Baby Jessica scenario caused any sort of PTSD that would have lead to his problems.
Glasscock is quoted as saying, "I look at it like the old cartoons back in the 60's where they showed God on one shoulder, and the devil on the other, and both of them arguing back and forth through your head. Satan won out, but he's not going to win anymore. God is with me.".

A plaque has been erected on the Midland center, in memory of the event.
