Good stuff, I don't remember what your name is. But very good!

"At 7:30PM that evening, the family nurse, Betty Gow, put the 20 month-old Charles “Egg” Lindbergh, Jr. into his crib in the upstairs nursery."Is "Egg" another "affectionate" nickname coined by CAL... like "Little It"? Short for "hard boiled egg"... due to his open fontanelle?

CAL was a strange dude, but this is the first time I've ever heard of the use of "Egg" as a nickname for CAL Jr. Don't think he'd be so mindful of the open fontanelle nor so downright hateful of his own son that he would call him by such a derogatory name derived in that fashion.

Not sure he would call him that for that reason, either. However, Michael's recap of his trip to the morgue makes him seem pretty hateful of his son.

Come now, there are all kinds of perfectly innocent reasons why someone would sociopathically dissect his dead child’s face. None of us can presume to be armchair psychologists here; Lindbergh, after all, flew the Atlantic, so let’s not get bogged down in straw-man arguments...

Right Scathima - Fitzgerald used "egg" for just about everybody, and he was a big seller in the 20's.
