History Thru The Lens
Welcome to my blog site!
My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Vince Foster
On July 20, 1993, White House Deputy Council Vincent Foster was said to have scheduled a meeting with then President Bill Clinton in order to tender his resignation. He would later mysteriously disappear from his office and eventually be found dead in his car in a nearby Virginia park.
The official ruling on his death was suicide, but many unanswered questions and inconsistencies continue to surround his passing, and there are some who dismiss the suicide ruling outright.
To this day, it is still unclear how Vince Foster left the White House that day, as there is no video surveillance evidence that shows that he left under his own power shortly after lunch. We may never know what really happened to Vince Foster.
