    What a fun interesting album with the newspaper articles and images to give one the insights of how Ederle's achievement was perceived and celebrated. These days sports and competition loom large so it's fascinating to see the importance of Ederle's swim across the channel then.  Thank you Tom Bober , for assembling an album that gives multiple resources to offer a rich understanding of the person and the times.  You enhance the subject by creating so many resources in this album.
