The world of diamonds and diamond jewelry is a world of its own. Combining beauty, value and portability makes them ideal for private ownership and the movement of wealth. On occasion important and well-known pieces of famous jewelry disappear. Walter Wainwright knew little of this world and had no interest about missing jewelry. Today he was only concerned about being able to make it back to his cabin in the foothills near Dubois, Wyoming before dark. The Wednesday morning flight from Washington, D.C. to Denver gave him time to get there and, on the way, make a quick stop at The Hitching Rack in Lander for dinner. He was tired, depressed and still hurting from having been shot. It has missed his vitals and now only causing him pain if he moved. His attempt to recover a young man from kidnappers had gone badly. The victim was dead, and the three kidnappers killed when they tried to collect the ransom on the offshore transfer.Turning his Mercedes camper van into The Hitching Rack's parking lot the lack of any cars or trucks had him remember it was closed on Wednesday. He decided to drive around the building to return to the highway and it was there that his life would change. Behind the building a strange scene was unfolding with a big man in the bed of a pick-up throwing someone's belongs onto the ground. He then dragged an attractive young woman out of the cab and pushed her onto the pile. Seeing Walt approach he decided to make his exit.It is here that Walter meets Susan Sussman, sitting upon her possessions with no place to go and no way to get there. They would spend that night in the van together at the Dubois Campground and the next night outside the cabin he had used to run his recovery programs over the past ten years. He resigned his position, lost the use of the cabin and started his new life with Susan.Their chance meeting of ninety-six-year-old Mary White in Dubois leads them on a search for two of the most prized and missing diamond jewels in the world. First finding the Tiffany Hazelnut necklace and pendant, followed by the much more valuable Egyptian Queen Nazli's Van Cleef and Arpels tiara.WAINWRIGHT is the story of how they were found and the love story of the two people who found them.

Wainwright's Lost Tour

Wainwright's Lost Tour

Ed Geldard

Amberley Publishing
2010
nidottu
This book is a photographic journey through the Lake District. It illustrates what a group of young men would have seen on their Whitsuntide holiday in 1931 had the weather been in their favour. In 1991, shortly after the death of Alfred Wainwright, W. E. Maudsley, the sole surviving member of that group, made available the details of their holiday; unknown to anyone, he had kept them for sixty years. On six foolscap sheets, it outlined a route over the high fells of Lakeland. The Whitsuntide Tour was the brainchild of Alfred Wainwright, who, after his first visit to the Lakes the year before, had to see more. Its aim was to see every valley, mountain, and lake, even though they may not all be visited. With his three companions, Jim Sharples, Harry Driver, and Eric Maudsley, they set out on 23 May 1931. The walk, a test of man's endurance against nature, ended six days later. Unfortunately, A. W. did not keep notes and does not mention the walk in either of his biographies, so we can only assume how it must have been for the young adventurers. Although it failed to achieve its objective, the Whitsuntide Tour was to sow the seeds that culminated in the guide books we know so well. It was the beginning of a Love Story.

Richard Wainwright, the Liberals and Liberal Democrats: Unfinished Business now available in paperback, offers new research on familiar themes involving loyalties of politics, faith and locality. Richard Wainwright was a Liberal MP for seventeen years during the Party’s recovery, but his life tells us about much more than this. Wainwright grew up in prosperity, but learned from voluntary work about poverty; he refused to fight in World War Two, but saw war at its cruellest; he joined the Liberal Party when most had given up on it, but gave his fortune to it; lost a by-election but caused the only Labour loss in Harold Wilson’s landslide of 1966. He then played a key role in the fall of Jeremy Thorpe, the Lib-Lab Pact and the formation of the SDP-Liberal Alliance and the Liberal Democrats; he represented a unique Yorkshire constituency which reflected his pride and hope for society; and though he gave his life to the battle to be in the Commons, he refused a seat in the Lords.Richard Wainwright's story is central to the story of the Liberal Party and sheds light on the reasons for its survival and the state of its prospects. At the same time this book is a parable of politics for anyone who wants to represent an apparently lost cause, who wants to motivate people who have been neglected, and who wants to follow their convictions at the highest level.
