  • Wilderness Hero 3
    Arthur Carhart National Wilderness Training Center’s Wilderness Investigations High School Wilderness Hero #3 John F. Kennedy President John F. Kennedy; 35th U.S. President (No copyright indicated) Common Core Standard Connections Standards addressed will vary depending on how the teacher chooses to approach the lesson and/or activities. Instructions for the teacher: Rarely, if ever, is one individual responsible for the hard work and vision involved in bringing about wilderness legislation, specific wilderness designation, or wilderness management. The 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was an important player in the ultimate success of the Wilderness Act of 1964 (signed into law the year after his untimely death). John F. Kennedy is the focus of this Wilderness Hero spotlight. To help students get to know this amazing wilderness hero, choose one or more of the following: • Photocopy and hand out Wilderness Hero Sheet #3 to each student. 143 o Based on the information found there, have them write a short news article about John F. Kennedy and his role in the story of designated wilderness. • From the list of wilderness quotes found within Wilderness Hero Sheet #3, have students select one or more, copy the quote, and then interpret what the quote(s) means to them. • Use the handout as the basis of a short mini-lesson about John F. Kennedy and wilderness. • Have students research John F. Kennedy’s presidency and from their findings create a timeline showing important events taking place during President Kennedy’s administration (January 1961 – November 1963). o This was a time of significant national and world events (Cuban Missile Crisis, civil rights movement, early Viet Nam War involvement, financial challenges, etc.).

Ponton In 1960, John F. Kennedy, a wealthy New England Catholic, traveled to a rural, Protestant state to contend in an election that few thought he could win. While many scholars have examined the impact of Kennedy’s victory in the West Virginia primary, few have analyzed the importance that his visit to the state in 1960 and his ensuing administration had on West Virginia. Kennedy enacted a number of policies directed specifically toward relieving the poverty that had plagued West Virginia since statehood.

  • The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967
    The Creative Society Environmental Policymaking in California,1967-1974 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Robert Denning Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Paula M. Baker, Advisor Dr. William R. Childs Dr. Mansel Blackford Copyright By Robert Denning 2011 Abstract California took the lead on environmental protection and regulation during Ronald Reagan‟s years as governor (1967-1974). Drawing on over a century of experience with conserving natural resources, environmentally friendly legislators and Governor Reagan enacted the strongest air and water pollution control programs in the nation, imposed stringent regulations on land use around threatened areas like Lake Tahoe and the San Francisco Bay, expanded the size and number of state parks, and required developers to take environmental considerations into account when planning new projects. This project explains why and how California became the national leader on environmental issues. It did so because of popular anger toward the environmental degradation that accompanied the state‟s rapid and uncontrolled expansion after World War II, the election of a governor and legislators who were willing to set environmental standards that went beyond what industry and business believed was technically feasible, and an activist citizenry that pursued new regulations through lawsuits and ballot measures when they believed the state government failed. The environment had a broad constituency in California during the Reagan years. Republicans, Democrats, students, bureaucrats, scientists, and many businessmen tackled the environmental problems that ii threatened the California way of life.

  • Dallas, November 1963
    Dallas, November 1963 A television documentary November 22, 2013 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas—perhaps the most infamous single event of the twentieth century. Dallas, November 1963 observes the anniversary by looking back on the world-altering assassination from the perspective of a young surgeon at Dallas’s Parkland Memorial Hospital who worked valiantly to save the president’s life. Dr. Kenneth Salyer, who has gone on to become an internationally renowned reconstructive plastic surgeon, recounts in riveting detail the events of that infamous day, the nature of the president’s injuries, and his startling medical insights into the reality of what occurred at Dallas’s Dealey Plaza when the president was shot. For half a century, historians, journalists, forensic scientists, and amateur investigators have tried to determine conclusively whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone or as part of a conspiracy. Numerous theories continue assert that there must have been a second gunman, yet if in fact there was one, his identity has to be considered perhaps the best-kept secret of all time. One of the several surgeons who worked valiantly to keep the president alive, Dr. Salyer believes— and argues forcefully—that the very heavy leather back brace the president wore because of injuries he sustained in World War II (and which Dr. Salyer personally cut away) factored directly, even decisively, in the president’s death. Dr. Salyer contends that the brace kept the president rigidly upright following the first, non-lethal bullet wound to his neck.

  • 22 November 1963: Where Were You?
    22 November 1963: Where Were You? Our Class had a unique relationship with President John F. Kennedy. He became president when we became upper class. He was a Navy Man, war hero, skipper of PT- 109. He loved football and the Army-Navy game. We lost our ‘rubbers’ when we marched in his Inaugural Parade, and we lost our innocence on 22 November 1963. Our experiences that day were unique, and for the first time since throwing our hats in Halsey Field House five months earlier, we were all unified via a single event. What is your story? Where were you when you first heard that the President had been assassinated? Our classmates contributed the following memories. Ron Walters (6th Co): I remember that day. I was on the USS Cromwell (DE- 1014) off the coast of Brazil when President Kennedy was assassinated. Mike Blackledge (4th Co): I had just returned from [grad school] math class at North Carolina State and as I came through the quadrangle, I heard the radios reporting from the open windows of the dormitories. I received a second shock when one of the undergrads called out, “Hey, I wonder what Jackie’s doing tonight?” Two different worlds. Bob Lagassa (2nd Co): I will never forget that day. I, along with a large group of '63 classmates, was in the middle of a typical Submarine School day of study and lectures at SubBase New London when we heard the fateful news. We were stunned, shocked, angry, tearful! Classes were suspended the remainder of the day and we went to our loved ones for consolation.

He received his A.B. degree from the University of California at Berkeley and his L.L.B. degree from Hastings. After engaging in private practice in San Francisco, Justice Shoemaker was appointed to the San Francisco Municipal Court in 1943.
