Easter morning, Southside, Chicago, Illinois, April 1941.
The only one of the five boys thatβs identified is the tall, hatless teenager in the middle, named Spencer Lee Readus, Jr., who was 14 when the photo was taken. Spencer Lee went on to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II and build a career as a plaster foreman.
According to his daughter, he remembered the day as, βI was going to the show on Easter Sunday and a white man approached me to ask if he could take a picture of me and these other boys.β
The spectacular Palace of Knossos on the Greek island of Crete was once a powerhouse of the enigmatic Minoans. In its 4,000-year history it has survived an earthquake, volcano and tsunami and remains today as a legacy of this once great civilization.

A dugout canoe measuring 15 feet in length was discovered in Wisconsin's Lake Mendota recently. Using advanced technology, experts have determined that the canoe dates back to approximately 1,200 years ago.
As the well-preserved canoe was retrieved from the lake, Wisconsin state archaeologist Jim Skibo remarked, "This is the first time this thing has been out of the water in 1,200 years.β The remarkable find was brought to the surface in November 2021 after being spotted by maritime archaeologist Tamara Thomsen, who was observing a school of fish at the lake's bottom.
Thomsen noticed a protruding log on the lakebed and upon closer inspection, identified it as a canoe. A wood sample was sent for carbon dating, revealing an astonishing resultβthe wood dated back to 800 A.D. Thomsen had discovered a 1,200-year-old canoe.
The canoe is believed to have belonged to ancestors of the Ho-Chunk Native Americans, who constructed dugout canoes by burning the inside of logs and shaping them with stone tools. "Consider cutting down a tree that's two-and-a-half feet wide with a stone tool and then hollowing it out and making it float," Skibo explained "It must have taken hundreds of hours and a great deal of skill."
The vessel will undergo several years of preservation treatment and may eventually find its place in a proposed Wisconsin Historical Society museum in Madison.
"Hopefully the canoe will play a role here," said Skibo. "It's a great artifact for telling multiple stories.
