- The Schillestad Family: Sketches of Salmon Bay Life (historylink.org)
Alfred Schillestad (1869-1942), son of Seattle pioneer Ole Schillestad (1833-1914), left a unique visual record of early life along the shores of Salmon Bay in the sketchbooks he created as young man. Two of Alfred Schillestad’s sketchbooks form part of the Michael Cirelli Collection on Northwest Photography at the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI), which also includes photographs related to the Schillestad family and a research file on the Schillestads. Together these materials construct an impression of the life of one of the first Norwegian immigrant families to arrive in Seattle. This account of the Schillestad family and their archives was written by Jody Hendrickson, archives assistant at MOHAI.
- The Empire Strikes Back (allthetropes.org)
After the surprise success of A New Hope, a sequel was inevitable. Lucas’s new story turned the series into a dramatic saga with the revelation that Darth Vader was Luke’s father. Since making the last film had been so stressful, he had Lawrence Kasdan and Leigh Brackett write the script for The Empire Strikes Back and had Irvin Kershner direct it.
