Some days ago Blaine Pardoe had a really historic lecture. Historic, because Count von Luckner himself had a lecture at the same place, the same day, just 76 years ago. On February 3, 1930 the Count spoke at the Bulldog Studios, Old Beacon High School, and was exactly the place where Blaine Pardoe spoke to an audience of more than 100 persons, great!
