EIN 13−1038730 Name United States Bankruptcy Court Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11 3/27/17 Case number: 17−22445−rdd Official Form 309F (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 12/15 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice. -

SUMMARY 70 REFERENCES 75 11 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION When Ward Carlton Mayborn was born October 10, 1879, the Civil War had been over for 14 years. The nation was experiencing the problems associated with healing the wounds of war while the age of the industrial revolution was dawning upon the nation. Thomas A. Edison in 1864 invented an automatic telegraph repeater, making possible the sending of mes sages over long distances (1, p. 587). In the early 1870s, less than 10 years before Mayborn's birth, a telegraph system was incorporated into the nation's fledgling railway system (1, p. 587). Edison started to work in his Menlo Park, New Jersey laboratory in 1876 (1, p. 587). It was not until Septem ber 4, 1882, when Mayborn was almost three years old, that New York City got its first electric street lights (2, p. 118) . In his book, The Rise of Industrial America, Page Smith detailed events taking place in the nation at the time of Mayborn's birth and during the next 20 years when Mayborn was receiving all the formal education he was to have and when he found himself, due to economic conditions of the time, looking for work. -

273A Greg Shrader
GREG SHRADER Interview 273a April 2, 2015, at The History Center, Diboll, Texas Jonathan Gerland, Interviewer Patsy Colbert, Transcriber ABSTRACT: In this interview with Jonathan Gerland, Lufkin Daily News Publisher Greg Shrader discusses his career in the newspaper business and the changes in newspapers, journalism, and information delivery. He talks about his early life in Pasadena, college in Austin, and the beginning of his career in newspaper advertising at The Houston Chronicle. Mr. Shrader discusses his moves to papers in Bryan, Texas and Abilene, Texas in the advertising and marketing departments and then his move to Galveston, Texas, Kerrville, Texas and Lufkin, Texas as Publisher. He discusses the changes in how newspapers are printed, how information is delivered to customers, how newspapers are run and staffed, and how they are funded. He also discusses things that have not changed for newspapers, mainly their importance for a community’s safety and identity, their place as a community supporting institution, and the newspaper staff’s (particularly the publisher’s) need to be involved in the community, to care about the community, and to build a relationship with community government, organizations, and citizens based on trust. Jonathan Gerland (hereafter JG): Okay, today’s date is April 2, 2015. It is Thursday and I’m with Mr. Greg Shrader. We are at The History Center today and we are going to do an oral history. Greg, maybe just to get us going, just tell us when and where you were born. Greg Shrader (hereafter GS): Jonathan, I was born October 5, 1952 at Fort Hood, Texas.
