Edward Frederick Knight

What is known about EF Knight in the years between 1904 and 1925? The only information I can find on the internet is that he enjoyed a long retirement. It looks as if he bought a famous yacht in the Netherlands in 1906. He sold it in 1916. Did he live in the Netherlands?

From his article, he published a volume of Memoirs – Reminiscences: The Wanderings of a Yachtsman and War Correspondent – in 1923, which might have some details of his later years: unfortunately it's not available on Project Gutenberg (unlike a few of his earlier books) or Wikisource – you might try enquiring at some online 2nd-hand book dealers. There might also be information in any published newspaper obituaries (not the mistaken 1904 ones, of course!) Apparently the News UK Archive holds some of his papers – might be worth a visit. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.201.115.180 (talk) 16:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tecumseh High School Transcripts

I was in the ohio valley correctional facility and did my schooling through Tecumseh high school. I am now taking a college course and they need my high school transcript. How can I get this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.192.170 (talk) 18:20, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contact the high school directly. They may charge a small fee for a copy. They can either give it to you for hand delivery to the college, or they can send it directly. It's also possible that the correctional facility may offer this service, but there's no guarantee. StuRat (talk) 18:37, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the correct Tecumseh High School (9760 W. NATIONAL ROAD, NEW CARLISLE, OHIO): You can request transcripts here: [1]. (Tecumseh was a famous figure, so many places in the area are named for him.) StuRat (talk) 18:44, 24 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
