My message is being composed as we prepare to close out the year 2020. A time in the middle of major holidays for many of our world’s religions and non-religious individuals alike. This year is certainly not what any of us envisioned when we set about our plans in personal, professional, or vol- unteer sectors. This will likely be even more evident as this time of year is generally a social time and restrictions will likely have many of us continuing to modify what we see as“ normal”. It would be easy to dwell on the negatives of 2020. There certainly have been a number of challenges. There have also been many individuals who have taken these challenges as opportunities to excel. This time has caused us to focus on innovation, on partnering, and on managing change. We have seen roles in society that may not have been thought of in the recent past as heroic spotlighted in our healthcare system, our education system, and our sanitation systems. We have had to acknowledge jobs that have been taken for granted such as grocery store workers, delivery drivers, and childcare workers just to name a few. A majority of this year has been filled with inconvenience, frustration, sadness, loss, and pain. And even as vaccines have started to be distributed, this time will continue for quite some time. I would ask you to take this time, when you might not be able to gather, to reflect. What positives can you find, what individuals, or groups of individuals, can you identify that have taken challenges of 2020 and used them as opportunities to excel. We have seen communities who have done as communities have done in previous times of struggle and assisted their neighbors in need with food, shelter, clothing, childcare etc. We have seen businesses adapting their operations to assist both their employees and their customers. We have seen competitors come together to deliver for the good of the whole. (continued on next page) 3 We are certainly not the first individuals to have lived during a pandemic or other turbulent times, nor will we be the last. One huge advantage we have during the current time is the internet. It has allowed a significant number of individuals to continue working when they may not have been able to in the past. It has allowed social interac- tion to happen at levels and distances that our forefathers would have possibly never been able to dream of (I do understand it does not replace the benefits of in person interactions). It has allowed participation of committees and meetings in organizations such as ours for individuals who have not had the same access previously. We as a state society will continue to plan for the future. Our April annual meeting is in the planning stages, we are hopeful it can be held in person, but we are planning for a hybrid meeting, or full virtual meeting if necessary. Meetings for the remainder of 2021 are being placed on the calendar and in the planning stages as well. Our na- tional organization is doing the same. I encourage our Chapters to be of the same mindset, prepare to be active in whatever mode is available to us and meets the comfort level of the participants, while at the same time don’t sit back and dwell on what was always done in the past. This maybe the perfect opportunity to try some new things or modify what has been done in the past to reach a wider audience or those in need. I will ask you again, try not to focus on the negatives of 2020, look for the positives, look for individuals and groups who are assisting and making a difference. Look to our youth who are learning under very difficult circum- stances, whether in person under restrictions, or virtually by the internet, or by packets that have been sent home, or by individuals and organizations in their lives that are taking time to use not traditional educational op- portunities. It will be hard, but I believe as a whole we will come out of this improved as a whole. Are you going to be part of that improvement? Will you help educate others? Will you take time to recognize those that are the helpers? Patriotically, Kevin L.

The oc- casion was recognized with a small celebration at the Historic Old Fort in downtown Fort Wayne, IN. General “Mad” Anthony Wayne and his wife, Mary Penrose Wayne (living historians Robert Jones and Andi Hahn), were in attendance to greet visitors at the Old Fort as tribute was paid to the namesake of the city of Fort Wayne. Festivities at the Historic Old Fort got underway at 11:00 a.m., in song and speech, culminating in the General cutting his birthday cake with his sword. The event was open to the public at the Historic Old Fort. The Sons of the American Revolution cohosted this event with the DAR and the Fort Wayne Historical society.

While the editors and contributors strive to provide accurate and timely information, please consult local chapters and the Indiana Society web site for updated and additional information concerning specific meetings and events. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Greetings Compatriots: I sincerely hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you the very best for the New Year. I can tell you that those words have new meaning for me since July. I would like to thank all of the Chapters and Compat- riots that sent me well wishes via email and snail mail. The cards were wonderful and meant more than you might imagine. The personal calls visits were so much appreciated and at a time when I could not get out. On a personal note: While I was a patient at the VA, on Veterans Day I was visited by a group of young girls who brought me a hand made skull cap (watch cap) a piece of candy and a handmade thank you card. They were a part of a group honoring veterans on that day. Although I was not able to interact with the group, my fami- ly thanked them and I wear that cap each time I go out. This experience has made it quite clear that as an organization, we need a precise way to monitor and provide well wishes and support to Compatriots that find themselves confined to a hospital or at home for various reasons.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Divided Frontier: the George Rogers Clark Expedition and Multi- Cultural Interaction
    DIVIDED FRONTIER: THE GEORGE ROGERS CLARK EXPEDITION AND MULTI- CULTURAL INTERACTION by KENNETH B. TITUS B.S., Kansas State University, 2006 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2009 Approved by: Major Professor Louise Breen Abstract The land west of the Alleghany Mountains and along the Ohio River and Great Lakes was an area of hotly contested land and sovereignty claims during the colonial period, complete with shifting loyalties and highly factionalized alliances. Warfare and diplomacy in the western territories often hinged on the actions of just one man or a small group of people, with consequences that could cause the collapse of entire empires. The long-standing battle for land and power throughout the Ohio Valley has been called the Long War because once conflict began between the French, British, and Indians in 1754, no one power was truly able to claim the land and its people until the British were forced out of their Great Lakes forts in 1815. George Rogers Clark uniquely united these groups for a short moment in history, a feat made all the more impressive when we consider how long the region remained contested ground between empires. These factions united only once prior the era of American control. During the expedition of George Rogers Clark in 1778, backcountry settlers, French habitants, Indian chiefs, and Spanish officials all united during a small window of time to overthrow British control of the Illinois Country. Clark moved freely from the top political circles of Virginia to the remote frontier outposts of the Illinois Country.

  • 2016 for YWCA Northeast Indiana!
    Exciting is the word to describe 2016 for YWCA Northeast Indiana! Through the generous support of our community, our Campaign for Dignity was a success and we were able to embark on a journey that allowed us to renovate and expand our facilities. We moved from breaking ground in March 2016 to completing the first phase of construction in November! At that point our administrative and outreach services moved to the new facility and the number of beds in the domestic violence crisis shelter increased from 45 to 65, all of which were filled immediately upon the move. In addition to the construction project in 2016, we also continued to work diligently to serve the Northeast Indiana community through our case management, education, addiction, and refugee services. As you flip through the pages of our annual report, you will see our story told through pictures and statistics. All of these achievements would not have been possible without the generous support of all the individuals and organizations listed on the pages of this report. With your help, YWCA Northeast Indiana brought dignity back into the lives of some of Northeast Indiana’s most vulnerable individuals.
