Birthday of Norman Rockwell

I had never heard of Norman Rockwell, but recognized this pic immediately. It's on the cover of a book I read (Bidie and Finn by Harry Cauley).

Two on the same day?

The one before was a pic of a luger. And since the Georgian luger died last night .....

[Sheriff Roland]

Don't think that that is why. There are more than one event per day.

As a matter of fact, there's already a third image up, but since I'm using Bryan's Mac computer, and I don't know how to copy & paste on this one, I can't.

So, unless someone else shares it before I get home, I'll do it then.

Maybe some people thought the luge one was in poor taste in light of the Georgian's tragic accident and that's why they made a substitution.

I wonder if it really was a tribute to him or just purely coincidental that the first Olympic sport highlighted was the luge.  I imagine the Olympic doodles were prepared well in advance.

Roland, I'm still seeing the snowboarding one here.
