Marlowe T. Peck briefly beatified with her own halo at the Chalet à Roch Dessus, August 2002.

Young Marlowe entered the Vale of Tears in Aigle, Switzerland, on 14 November 1984 and was immediately named after the brilliant poet/playwright/spy Christopher Marlowe, 1564-1593 (left), because "Shakespeare" as a first-name sounded pretentious. The civil registrar in Aigle was not at all comfortable recording a name so obviously not on the Saints List, but once reminded of Marlo Thomas's very brief run with a half-hour TV sitcom in the 1960s, he accepted it as a common American prenom.

Having spent her first six years or so in the ski resort of Leysin, Switzerland, hanging out in all her spare moments with the other kids of working parents at the farm with wonderful Tatie ("auntie") in Crettaz (right), she then went to join her mother in the village of Vufflens-la-Ville north of Lausanne. (The village of Vufflens-la-Ville is the one without the château; the village of Vufflens-la-Château, not too far away, is the one that has the château.)

In 1996, however, Marlowe and her mom flitted off to England, in the United Kingdom, not far from London. Neither of them was superbly happy with England, by the sound of it, but at least Marlowe became a seasoned "unaccompanied minor" air traveler whilst visiting her Old Dad in Switzerland, building up frequent flyer miles every other weekend for three years or so. Lamentably for some of us, she then shuffled along to the USA in 1999, and set up shop somewhere north of Philadelphia, in a nice very old house with its own swimming pool, hoopla-ho!

As photos accumulate (as they tend to do), Marlowe's Dad posts some of his favorite scans here, as the new century progresses, or the first part of it anyway -- then she's on her own.

But in the meantime . . . here are the collections so far.
