Bob Fitzsimons: April 26, 1935 – October 24, 2023
I tell the story of Dad’s last few days, the memorial service, and the effect on our family in these early days after he left us.
The obituary I wrote for Dad can be found here.
A Dimland Radio Pedantic Moment: Napoleon Wasn’t Short!
I could very well be wrong about how Napoleon will be depicted in the much anticipated film by Ridley Scott, but some of the images I’ve been seeing on Facebook, TV, or YouTube appear to show the Emperor of France as being short.
He wasn’t short. He may have even been a little taller than the average soldier who served under him. He was short if you compare him to today’s average height, but he is not being depicted as a time traveler in the film. It’s a period film, as well as an epic, and I hope Scott stays historically accurate.
However, Ridley Scott is from the UK and it was the British who started the myth of a diminutive Napoleon.
I could be wrong.
