Professor Emeritus Missouri State University
Speaking on
“Famous Mad Hatters”
The origin of the phrase “Mad as a Hatter” is due to the incidence of odd behavior on the part of workers in the early felt hat industry. Their odd behavior, or “madness”, was the result of mercury poisoning contracted on the job. This presentation will discuss the recent mercury analyses done on the hair of Isaac Newton; the deterioration of the great mind
of Michael Faraday; the bizarre behavior of Boston Corbett, the man who shotJoh n Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln; and the possibility that mercury poisoning affected the behavior of other famous people such as King Charles II of England, the author William Makepeace Thackeray, and a number of famous artists, such as Rubens, Renoir, Dufy, and Klee.
“Mad” women in History have been more difficult to locate. One eminent female whose health was affected by chemical
exposure was Clare Boothe Luce. Her health problems while serving as U.S. Ambassador to Italy in the 1950’s will be discussed. Also, mercury analysis of the hair of Russian Tsarina Anastasia, wife of Ivan the Terrible, suggest she may have been poisoned.

Annual Holiday Wine Tasting

The cost for the event will be $15 per person.

A variety of international cheeses and homemade soups will accompany the wine tasting.

While Bill Mosby’s specialty is the growing and vinification of fine Italian varietal wines, he also makes award-winning grappa, wild plum and raspberry distillatos. His experienced palate and careful, ongoing search for interesting new varietals have resulted in vintage after vintage of award-winning Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio and more. And then there’s his latest addition, Dolcetto — the everyday wine of Piemonte.

When Bill and Jeri purchased the old de la Vega land in the early 1970s, the first thing Bill did was plant vines. “Noah did that,” he says quietly. “First thing he did. Plant a vineyard.” Among those early Mosby wines was Gewürztraminer, Jeri’s favorite. “It’s still my favorite,” says Jeri. “I’m going to miss having it in the tasting room.” The Mosby’s first commercial wines were bottled under the Vega label, named after the old land grant. Bill’s wine began to gain industry attention, and a following of Mosby wine enthusiasts continued to develop. In 1986, at his family’s insistence, Bill changed the Vega label to reflect the Mosby name and winemaking philosophy.

Over the years the Mosby vineyards have expanded, the wines have evolved; a Mosby style has reached maturity. A part-time grower and winemaker all of his adult life, Bill Mosby finally made the career move to full-time grower and winemaker in 1998. A successful dentist for over 40 years, William M. Mosby, DMD, became Bill Mosby, full-time winemaker — artist of the vine.
