The purpose of the convoy was to prepare for the invasion of France on June 6, 1943. The troops were unloaded in North Africa not far from where one of the most memorable battles was about to take place “D-Day”. We lost one ship and that ship was carrying a local man from Springfield, IL.

(1 folder) Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Abstract: John R. Moses, a Madison, Wisconsin resident, discusses his service as a lieutenant in the 3rd Tank Battalion, 10 th Armored Division in the Army during World War II and his work as the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs from 1962 to 1982. Moses was born in North Dakota where his father, John Moses, was a prominent lawyer and politician who became Governor and later a U.S. Senator. Moses mentions that he and his father disagreed about the United States’ policy of isolationism prior to the war. Moses touches upon how the Depression and WPA projects affected North Dakota. In 1941, Moses was drafted into the Army and went through basic training at Camp Callan (California). He discusses his basic training in detail, describing the outdated World War I artillery and surveillance equipment they had to use. He describes the frenzy on the Army base during Pearl Harbor and how his coast artillery unit used spotlights to look for Japanese attackers off the California coast. Moses mentions his isolationist views changed after Pearl Harbor and says he was psychologically ready to serve.

On Page 2 of the Staff Report, the last two paragraphs on the page shall be revised as follows: The proposed development consists of a four-story research building, and the applicant has also proposed an alternative to the existing runway alignment that shifts the runway a few degrees to the southeast from its current alignment. In so doing, all existing and proposed penetrations of the imaginary surface of the Gliderport runway will be completely removed. In particular, these intrusions include not only the proposed building but also the 14-story UCSD student housing building which presently penetrates the approach surface on the east side of North Torrey Pines Road. Through the proposed re-alignment of the runway, the fixed-wing gliders will be able to continue to operate on the UC property. A special condition requires that no future development occur in the southwest corner on of the site be reviewed as an amendment to this permit in order to further assure that there will be no future obstacles or impediments that could diminish the ability of fixed-wing gliders to use the site for recreational purposes.

    HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Press Contact: Leslie Araiza [email protected] 858.263.7969 THE GRANDE COLONIAL A Legacy in La Jolla La Jolla’s Grande Colonial hotel is the seaside town’s oldest original hotel. The Colonial Apartments and Hotel, as it was known when it opened on February 1st, 1913, was the talk of the town and a foundation for the community. The original white, wood-framed Colonial Apartments and Hotel, designed by Richard Requa who was the master architect of the California Exposition in Balboa Park, was described as, “a perfectly appointed apartment hotel, with the finest sun parlor and lobby overlooking the ocean on the Pacific coast.” The Original Colonial Apartments & Hotel. Circa: 1920 George Bane, who became sole owner of the Colonial in 1920, realized the tourist potential of this picturesque seaside town and decided to give the Colonial a whole new look. In 1925, he commissioned architect Frank Stevenson to design a hotel that would “rival anything in the West.” It was a huge undertaking. The existing building was moved to the rear of the property and a new, four-story, concrete, mixed-use building was erected in its place. Completed in 1928 and boasting 28 apartments and 25 single hotel rooms, the new Colonial Hotel had the first sprinkler system west of the Mississippi; solid, unsupported, reinforced cement stairways and fire doors that still exist in the structure. Even with its safety features, the Colonial was breathtaking. The “sunburst” design of windows and semi-circle domes of leaded glass above the French doors uniquely captured the sunlight and drew it into the hotel.
