    37 Gregory J. “Jerry” Jurkovich, MD President 2008–2009 Dr. David H. Livingston The classic and most obvious question is about your choice of career in trauma, critical care and now acute care surgery. How did you get there? At what point in your training did you decide? Dr. Gregory J. “Jerry” Jurkovich During elementary and middle school I definitely thought I was going to be an astronaut. That was the time when the Mercury program and Apollo moon shots were capturing the imagi- nation of the nation, and people were influenced by their success. People were talking about what just seemed to be the future direction of the world. I was attracted to that and since I was naturally good at the math and sciences I thought I was on the way. But then I ran into one of those big disappointments in life: you had to be a perfect human specimen in terms of vision and physical stature. At that time you also had to become a pilot first, and join the military. The harsh reality of all of those issues made it obvious that this not going to work out very well. So I went to college to study math and sciences. I was going to be an engineer. I still hadn’t completely given up on the whole astronaut thing and thought maybe a way through NASA was on the engineering side. I did mix it with medicine and got a degree in biomedical engineering. By the end of the degree I realized I enjoyed and wanted more people contact than I was getting in engineering so I decided to go to medical school.

    100 years of women voting The First Berlin Women Voters Research by Cathy Nelson Sarah Caliandri, Nelson, Librarian Emeritus, President Berlin-Peck Memorial Library Berlin Historical Society Kate Wall, Berlin Town Clerk Lorraine Stub, Secretary, Berlin Historical Society 1 Title photographs: Top: Freda and Ethel Lund atop Lamentation Mountain Left: Lillie Lindquist Right: Marie Stange Center: Pearl Woods Gate, 1st woman voter Oct. 4, 1920 Bottom: Inez Williams December 2020 2 100 years of women voting One hundred years ago, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers won the right to vote. It began in July1848 when 300 women gathered in Seneca Falls, New York for a convention that started the campaign to allow women to vote. The Women’s Rights Convention was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucetia Mott, Mary McClintock, Mary Coffin Wright, and Jane Hunt. Many were also part of the anti-slavery cause. Susan B. Anthony met Elizabeth Cady Stanton in 1851 and soon dedicated her life to women’s rights and anti-slavery. Elizabeth died in 1902 and Susan died in 1906. When these ladies died, they still could not vote. Meanwhile, the question of women voting was a worldwide issue. The first country to allow women to vote was New Zealand in 1893. New Zealand: 1893 Australia: 1902 Finland: 1906 Norway: 1913 Denmark: 1915 Russia: 1917 Canada: 1918 Armenia: 1919 Estonia: 1920 In 1893 Connecticut women were given the right to vote on Board of Education issues. In 1909 Connecticut women were given the right to vote on library issues. In Berlin, over the years, there probably were discussions and support for the women’s vote.
