From 1929 until 1941, Bull was exclusively “the man who shot Garbo.” The one exception was in 1930 when MGM execs wanted new portraitist hire George Hurrell to take her photos for Romance. She hated the experience and called Hurrell “that crazy man.” More Garbo by Bull, 1936:

'X' marks the spot. The Bulgarian Air Force was one of the oldest in Europe, but the Bulgarian alliance with Germany in 1941, did not serve it well. Although equipped with (mainly) German aircraft, this relatively small force was no match against the might of Allied air power.
Nancy P. Morris (later Tupholme) signed on as a Clerk at the @geolsoc in 1940. She played a vital role in protecting the Library and Archives during WWII. When the building was bombed in 1941, she even had to toss glass out the building and chase after papers down the street!
