  • Railway Employee Records for Colorado Volume Iii
    RAILWAY EMPLOYEE RECORDS FOR COLORADO VOLUME III By Gerald E. Sherard (2005) When Denver’s Union Station opened in 1881, it saw 88 trains a day during its gold-rush peak. When passenger trains were a popular way to travel, Union Station regularly saw sixty to eighty daily arrivals and departures and as many as a million passengers a year. Many freight trains also passed through the area. In the early 1900s, there were 2.25 million railroad workers in America. After World War II the popularity and frequency of train travel began to wane. The first railroad line to be completed in Colorado was in 1871 and was the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad line between Denver and Colorado Springs. A question we often hear is: “My father used to work for the railroad. How can I get information on Him?” Most railroad historical societies have no records on employees. Most employment records are owned today by the surviving railroad companies and the Railroad Retirement Board. For example, most such records for the Union Pacific Railroad are in storage in Hutchinson, Kansas salt mines, off limits to all but the lawyers. The Union Pacific currently declines to help with former employee genealogy requests. However, if you are looking for railroad employee records for early Colorado railroads, you may have some success. The Colorado Railroad Museum Library currently has 11,368 employee personnel records. These Colorado employee records are primarily for the following railroads which are not longer operating. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad employee records of employment are recorded in a bound ledger book (record number 736) and box numbers 766 and 1287 for the years 1883 through 1939 for the joint line from Denver to Pueblo.

  • Breaking New Ground Phoenix Children’S New Emergency Department and Trauma Center and Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders LETTER from STEVE
    FALL 2017 PHOENIX CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL FOUNDATION Breaking New Ground Phoenix Children’s new Emergency Department and Trauma Center and Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders LETTER FROM STEVE Dear Friends: We have so many milestones to celebrate as 2017 comes to a close. This fall, Phoenix Children’s Hospital opened the doors of its new Emergency Department and Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center, as well as its new Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders. Both are state-of-the-art facilities with the space, resources and systems to provide more children in need with the best possible care. These centers are so much more than the sum of their parts. They are the new homes of two of Phoenix Children’s nationally recognized programs. They are the homes away from home for the thousands of children who are already receiving the best emergency care and cancer treatment available in Arizona. And they represent another step forward on our journey to becoming a world-class, destination hospital — for Arizona, the Southwest and the entire nation. These milestones simply would not have been possible without your incredible generosity. Not only have you helped Phoenix Children’s up its game for children, over the past 12 months you have gone above and beyond for so many of the programs that our patients rely on — programs that exist because of your philanthropy. As you know, at Phoenix Children’s, we are always striving to do more for children. We see these milestones as opportunities — to foster innovation and discovery; to bring cutting-edge therapies to our patients; and to attract the highest-caliber physicians to our hospital — and in so doing, give every child that passes through our doors the best chance in life.

  • The Power of the Latino Vote in America They Tipped Elections in 2008; Where Will They Be in 2010?
    The Power of the Latino Vote in America They Tipped Elections in 2008; Where Will they be in 2010? February 2010 LATINO VOTER TRENDS IN RECENT ELECTION CYCLES Over the past decade, Latino voters have steadily increased their political power, and made a decisive impact in races at all levels, including the Presidency. In 2010, Latino voters are poised to play a crucial role in key House and Senate races across the country. Many analysts have noted that as the Latino electorate grows in size and power, candidates from all political parties must take their views into account to remain viable in an increasing number of House and Senate races as well as future Presidential contests. While trending Democratic overall, at least one segment of the Latino electorate—foreign‐born, naturalized U.S. citizens of Latino descent, who represent 40% of the Latino voter population—has proven to be a true swing constituency. Candidates for political office in 2010, elected officials, and political strategists would be wise to not just look at how Latino voters are likely to vote this cycle, but why. This report lays out trends in Latino voting patterns over the last several years, and examines some of the factors that motivate and influence this segment of the electorate. The report features a list of “Races to Watch”—forty battleground House and Senate contests where Latino voters will play a key role—and details the Congressional districts where Latino voting power is most concentrated. The Latino Vote is Growing – In Size and Geographic Diversity For the past few election cycles, Latino voters have been making an impact at ballot boxes throughout the country.
