Your very right Angelbender! Wow, your really well educated on Albert Schweitzer! I didn't think a lot of people remembered him! He was a great man, put his whole heart and soul into his work! Your right, he was quite the philosopher! He touched many peoples hearts in that way! I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we would all love to see your poster of him! I'll bet it turned out wonderful! Thank you for the great lesson on Mr. Schweitzer, much appreciated! katney I took the pic. off of a site I found and felt it was something that my fellow jigidi peeps would like. How fun it must have been for your cousin to have been there! I'm envious, but in a good way. PLG1958 thank you for your comment, that was very sweet of you! Plumpossum I believe you are right as I too heard that he also played the organ among other instruments! It does look a little worse for wear as it got a lot of play out of it, soothed and entertained a lot of people! Once again, thank you Plumpossum, PLG1958, Angelbender, and katney for your wonderful comments on this pic.
Plumpossum, Schweitzer ran an open air hospital in Africa under very primitive conditions. If you look close, the ivory has come what we call the white keys.
He was quite a philosopher. I designed a poster using a stylized portrait of him and a quote of his which won first place in a national competition! I considered it words to live by, and I guess the judges did too.
The quote is as powerful today as it was back then.
"I would attempt to have my life and work say what I believe." Albert Schweitzer
Cool! Where is it located? Did you take the picture? I think a lot of people do not know about Albert Schweitzer and his work in Africa. I was fascinated about him because a cousin of mine was also a medical missionary in Africa--not long after Schweitzer.
