When Paul McCartney's mother Mary had her 47th birthday, she knew her time on this earth was short. She had breast cancer. Her wish to her husband was that Paul and Mike did not know. Then the cancer really spread. 

Mary went into the hospital at the David Lewis Northern Hospital on Oct 29 1956. Paul and Mike were sent to their Aunt and Uncle's home. They did not know their mother now had a brain tumor. The end for Mary McCartney came on Oct 31 1956. 

Paul and Mike stayed with their Uncle Joe and Aunt Joan. They did not attend their mother's requiem mass. 

Now, Jim McCartney was a single parent of boys aged 14 and 12. It was hard for Jim to make ends meet. With the help of the McCartney family, they made it through.

The next day Tues April 16 1912, everybody in the world knew who J Bruce Ismay was. Some people called him a coward. Some people thought that he cared only for himself and not others. John Bull Weekly addressed Ismay directly for 3 months. Some people began saying that Ismay put profit before lies. People accused Ismay of not being a gentleman. Some people thought that Ismay only thought of his own survival and not others.

People in the US knew about Ismay even before the Titanic. People knew he inherited his position in the White Star Line. In Britain, Ismay was despised. In a country where hierarchy was based on birth, Ismay was no more than a businessman. 

Passengers on the Titanic knew their destination. Ismay did not. When the chance came for Ismay to save his own life, he took it.

The next day, John checked out of the Starhope. He ate lunch at Trionfo Ristorante. In the afternoon, John tried to consul a friend whose mother had just passed away. In the afternoon, John was busy with phone conversations and lay out sessions. Then John placed two phone calls. One was to his literary agent Sterling Lord. The other was to his sister Caroline. 

Their relationship had gotten stronger since the death of their mother. He told his sister he was flying his new plane up to Martha's Vineyard and then to Hyannis Port. 

While John took their dog Friday to a friend for the weekend, Caroline was shopping for a dress for the wedding at Saks Fifth Avenue. Caroline told the salesperson she was not looking forward to flying with John and her sister that evening. Around 6:30 pm, Caroline got into a Lincoln Town Car for the 40 minute drive to the airport in Fairfield New Jersey.
