This image (below) from The Daily News, New York, New York, September 2, 1926; S. George Ullman taking that long step onto the barge. He knew the harbor master who permitted him to ride out and board the oceanliners before they docked. He did so in this case in order to facilitate the arrival of Alberto Guglielmi Valentino. What a giant step this was for this man...his life would never be the same.
I want to share the following message I received on my previous post which is relevant to this image.
“Imagine what could have been if Alberto would have worked together with George Ullman instead of fighting him for decades. They really could have brought forward something of everlasting true value and most likely instead of draining Valentino's estate of funds, increased it beyond. Maybe even a proper archive/museum which today could be enjoyed by everybody. Instead we have lies, deception, hate, criminal actions and the vilest bullying. Sad really when one thinks about it."
Well said.
