2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners 2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners Ann Albano, Arts Sculpture is about so much more than public monuments or marble fixtures. For those who equate sculpture with chiseled faces of historical heroes, Ann Albano and The Sculpture Center deliver a refreshing surprise. “Much of the sculpture done today is constructed out of nontraditional materials and is created not to express the beauty of the form, but to convey contemporary ideas,” explains Ann Albano, executive director and curator. Similarly, Albano has taken the charge on introducing acclaimed sculptors to the region, including Richard Hunt, arguably one of the most prominent sculptors living today. Steven Litt, Plain Dealer art and architecture critic, called this exhibition one of the four most important of 2008. Albano is tickled. “It was quite a coup for us,” she says. Located in University Circle for the last 20 years, the Sculpture Center’s mission is to present exhibitions by contemporary early career Ohio artists and sculptors of the greater region, including border states and Ontario, Canada. Under Albano’s direction, the institution has experienced a renaissance of sorts—a “hip” revival thanks to her energy and passion for bringing breaking talent and accomplished sculpture to the Circle. In the time that the Cleveland Museum of Art was closed for renovations, The Sculpture Center played a key role in engaging visitors. “Having this confluence of arts institutions in this location is very beneficial,” Albano says, noting that out-of-town guests may stop at The Sculpture Center first, and then ask her, “Where next?” She helped forge a strong relationship with the Cleveland Institute of Art, providing learning and exhibition opportunities for students and faculty. The reputation of The Sculpture Center continues to escalate, and Albano recognizes the institution’s offerings. There simply aren’t many centers like it. “People are amazed by the different visual opportunities that occur when they are here,” she says. 2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners David Brown, Arts He’s got the beat. And for 40 years, David Brown has been teaching University Circle’s musicians and dancers to master problematic rhythms through eurhythmics, an integration of movement and music. He retires this year from the Dalcroze Eurhythmics Department at the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he got hooked on the practice as a student. Before Brown even earned his degree, he was invited to teach a course in the department. “Some of my first students were older than me,” he remembers, a sophomore at the time. Brown majored in organ and eurhythmics, and has generously shared his talents through teaching and performance. For 25 years, he served as music director for the Euclid Avenue Christian Church (now Disciples Christian Church). Brown has left his mark on programs all over the country, traveling to teach workshops that impart rhythm, a critical sixth sense for musicians. “My ‘aha moments’ are when students awaken to rhythm,” he says, admitting that he inherently transcribes the rhythms imbedded in everyday life. “I’ll be driving and listening to [classic music station] WCLV and I’ll see someone walking, and maybe they are on the off-beat—they don’t know it,” he quips. What Brown imparts stays with students for life. Many return from other conservatory experiences and thank him for giving them a tool to understand and master difficult rhythms. “Rhythm is really a sensation or feeling—its not intellect or counting,” says Brown, whose prominent role in his field has highlighted University Circle as a progressive center for the arts. 2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners William Jones, Arts As a backstage business brain at the Cleveland Play House, William Jones has served the theater’s board for more than 30 years. During that time, the Play House expanded its facility and evolved into the country’s largest regional theater complex under one roof. “I was intrigued with the idea of the Play House growing and needing some business help to form their plans and run the operation,” says Jones, whose activities until that point had centered on business. He was president of Junior Achievement and the Harvard Business School Club, and first chairman of the Council for Smaller Enterprises (COSE). Jones came to Cleveland in 1948, the year the Indians won the World Series and the city was alive with innovation. “I found it to be an exciting town ever since,” says Jones, who was attracted here from Chicago by the nationally recognized industrialist, Fred Crawford of Thompson Products. Today, Jones is president of DynaMotors, holds two electronic control patents and has directed new electronic product development and commercialization programs. He serves on the board of Case Western Reserve University’s Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation, promoting green technology. Jones continues to entertain his artistic side through involvement in a play reading group he started with his late wife, Betty. In its 50-plus years, the club has “produced” more than 400 plays at members’ homes. “We don’t just sit on a stool and read,” Jones says, animated. “People shoot each other, pour drinks, look out the window, fall down and so forth.” In “real life,” Jones invests his time in talent in University Circle through his involvement at Case. “The University Circle area has so many premiere, world-class organizations,” he says. Jones is a charter member of South Franklin Circle, Judson’s new Chautauqua-inspired community in Chagrin Falls. 2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners Roe Green, Philanthropy Roe Green has five oranges. One she eats. One she saves. Three, she gives away. Those three “oranges” go a long way toward funding the arts by exposing students to theater opportunities and introducing world-class productions to Cleveland. “Everything I have given away I have gotten back ten-fold,” says Green, who is this year’s winner of the State of Ohio’s Governor Award for Philanthropy. Green credits students for her repeated funding “encores”—students she touches during her visiting professorships at Kent State University (KSU) or University of Colorado, where she graduated with a theater and communications degree. She gains energy from students who invite her to their Broadway performances and tell her things like, “this experience was life altering.” “Theater education is extremely important to me,” Green says, passionately. She proves this by her actions; Green is a major force behind the arts at KSU where her donation funded a brand new center for theater. Beyond theater, Green also funded the library at Case Western Reserve University, a University Circle landmark named for her father. Green is a world traveler and member of the Century Club—she has visited 148 countries because “the world is my classroom,” she says. Her philanthropic grace has touched every theater in Cleveland. “There is more theater in Cleveland than there are people,” she remarks, sobering as she addresses the seriousness of funding for an arts. She recalls when four productions were running in Cleveland at one time, all of them thanks to her “oranges.” Green is a champion of collaboration, a firm believer that arts organizations must band together. Embodying this mantra, she supports the Cleveland Play House’s innovative FusionFest, a multidisciplinary performing arts festival featuring new work. Green has served as honorary producer since its inception in 2006. This year, she sponsored playwright Lee Blessing and his project to adapt the Thornton Wilder novel, Heaven’s My Destiny . It will be produced as a world premiere at the Cleveland Play House. 2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners Steve Hansler, Healthcare The few steps leading to a home’s front door can be a painful obstacle for people with mobility issues. Housing that is affordable often is not accessible, but Steve Hansler has helped change that reality as CEO of Maximum Accessible Housing of Ohio (MAHO). “Someone may have all the abilities in the world, but if they don’t have the ability to get out of their house and go to work or school, they are stuck,” Hansler says. MAHO has built and managed five independent accessible living communities for individuals with mobility issues. Its first facility in University Circle houses 50 individuals. MAHO is in the process of finalizing funding to build a new building next door to its current location. Hansler interviews every person who applies to live in the facilities—he has watched residents move in and grow as individuals who work and participate in the community. University Circle is a prime location for the MAHO building, Hansler says. Tenants take full advantage of the area’s cultural opportunities and world-class medical facilities. Concurrently, MAHO plays an equally important role in enriching the diversity of University Circle, Hansler says. “When people talk about diversity, they often don’t think about including people with disabilities,” he relates. “But by providing a place in University Circle for people with disabilities to live, this population becomes part of the fabric of the community. 2009 Judson Smart Living Award Winners Lynne Wiseman, Healthcare In the words of Joan Baez, “Every day is a new chance to get it right.” Lynne Wiseman lives these words as a volunteer counselor in the behavioral health department at The Cleveland Free Clinic. “I love giving back,” Wiseman says. “I love working with a population that doesn’t have the perfect days that some of us have. And I gain energy from working with selfless, giving people who feel the same way I do.” The Cleveland Free Clinic is a staple offering quality health care free of charge to those who lack appropriate alternatives. Wiseman sees her work at the clinic as a privilege.

  • Ancestry and Descendants of William Henrie, the “Heir” and Progenitor of the Henrie Families of Utah
    ANCESTRY AND DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM HENRIE 1799—1883 by Manetta (Prince) Henrie (Revised, Updated and Reprinted by Ryan Henrie) Published 1954 Provo, Utah DEDICATION: To the younger generation and those who come after, this history of the WILLIAM HENRIE FAMILY is dedicated. PREFACE This volume includes data which the author has found and recorded on the ancestry and descendants of William Henrie, the “heir” and progenitor of the Henrie families of Utah. Much time and effort have been expended in the stupendous task of compiling this history. It seems to have been the custom of members of the general Henry family, in Scotland and elsewhere, to write the surname as “Henarie,” as Michael, the emigrant ancestor from Scotland, signed his name. Other common ways of spelling the name were “Hendry,” “Henery,” “Henry,” and “Henrie.” In America, there are thirty-two various spellings of the name. Host of the later records in this book, genealogical and biographical, were received from members of the family. The data were conscientiously checked and compared with every available source; but it is difficult to write history covering the activities and biographies of different members of any family and not have some part of it conflict with that written by others, no matter how painstakingly the material has been gathered. Family history is interesting, but not always accurate. If there are errors, it is hoped that the family will not disdain to appreciate the product as a whole. If more apace has been devoted to one individual than another, it is because more information was submitted.

  • Country Cousins Volume 1 Descendants of William Davis (Welshpool, Montgomeryshire, Wales)
    COUNTRY COUSINS VOLUME 1 DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM DAVIS (WELSHPOOL, MONTGOMERYSHIRE, WALES) RELATIVES OF JERALD, LOWELL, AND BOYD DAVIS BY ERA JOSEPHINE MORGAN DAVIS (EDITED BY JERALD MORGAN DAVIS) 1 December 2013 Version 1.0 A MEMORIAL This volume of Country Cousins is dedicated, as all of the many subsequent volumes of the family history will be, as a memorial to Curron David Davis and Era Josephine Morgan (parents of Jerald Morgan Davis, Lowell Kenneth Davis, and Thomas Boyd Davis) for the excellent genes they passed on to their children, the superb values they instilled in us (sometimes forcefully if that was needed), and their dedication to assuring that we were well prepared to face the challenges of life with a constructive, positive, can do attitude that has permitted us to meet the challenges of life and enjoy life with confidence and a smile. These volumes are also a memorial to the lifelong passion of Era Josephine Morgan Davis to discover and preserve our family history and to help others do the same with theirs. We did not get to vote on any of these things before we were born but we are deeply indebted to our parents for who they were, what they stood for, and what they did for us with the limited resources they were dealt in life. It is with love and affection and with deep respect and admiration that we dedicate these volumes of our family history to them. Our parents and all of our extended family of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and close cousins were experts at doing the very best they could with the cards that life dealt them while accepting the things they could not change, changing the things they could, and trying hard to understand the difference between them.

  • Dean Gilmore TC.Mp4
    Cuyahoga County Community College Stokes Initiative Dean Gilmore TC.mp4 This is Dee Perry in the Hannah Library of the Western Reserve Historical Society on Monday, August 14, 2017, and we're about to talk with Dean Grover “Cleve” Gilmore of Case Western Reserve University about the Stokes brothers, for the Stokes Exhibition at Western Reserve Historical Society. Dean Gilmore, thank you for being with us. It's my pleasure, Dee. I want to start with some basic information. Where were you born and raised? TC: 14:46:25 Well, I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. That's where I grew up, I went to high school and college there. Moved to Baltimore to Johns Hopkins University for my graduate work, and arrived in Cleveland in 1975. So about four years after Carl Stokes' tenure ended. And as a matter of fact, in terms of age you were a teenager during his time as mayor, Carl Stokes. Did you have any sense, or did you know about the election going on in Cleveland? TC: 14:47:02 I remember election night in 1967. I was a freshman, and it was an exciting time. Now, I have to say that I did not know much about politics but when you're in college you're surrounded by a lot of people who think they do. The big story of the night, and the next day, and for a number of days is that fact that an African American was elected to be the mayor of a major city in America. TC: 14:47:29 That was hopeful.

He studied the shape of his nose, the color of his eyes, his smile. A conception of his physical self was being etched in his mind. Then he discovered the magjc of mirrors. Fine ladies began to spend their time admiring the re· flection of beautiful complexions and rich adornments.
