With the help of the members of the Society, we have begun, what I feel, will be a banner year. On January 11th, we had a Beginner's Workshop II conducted by member, Katherine Ronan Cooper . Thirty-seven genealogists were in attendance. For those of us whose zest for research sometimes waivers, it was a pleasure to ~ave a number of new researchers show their enthusiasm and help our seasoned · genealogists get back into action and find those ancestors. On Saturday, February 22nd, we will have a Mini-Seminar at the Marks Street Senior Citizens Center from 9:00A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Our speakers for the day will be Robert Fraunberger and Rhoda Rollin. Please be sure to bring your lunch. The Society will furnish a snack for mid-morning along with beverages throughout the day. Vice President and Program Chairman, Tanya Miller has planned some excellent and interesting programs for the rest of the year. Eileen Willis, Chairman of the forthcoming Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference to be held at the Radisson Hotel in downtown Orlando, September 25-27, 1986, has called some planning meetings. Detailed information will be announced soon. Please remember to volunteer to help where you can. Some things can be done in your homes, while others will require your attendance at meetings and some footwork. The Central Florida Genealogical and Historical Society needs you. Again, I want to thank all of the members who are helping to make·this year such a successful one. Sincerely Aye, Betty Brinsfield Hughson President Vol. XVIII, No. 1 - 1 - Buried Treasures The following letter, translated from its original French, was written by member Mary L. Daniels' great- grandfather, John Baptiste Foisie, a Union soldier. The original of this letter has been authenticated and is now preserved in the Library of Congress.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Thus there are discussions both of literature specifically written for adolescents and the literature adolescents choose to read. The term adolescent is understood to include young people in grades five or six through ten or eleven. The articles are written by high school, college, and university teachers and discuss adolescent literature in general (e.g., Geraldine E. LaRoque's "A Bright and Promising Future for Adolescent Literature"), particular types of this literature (e.g., Nicholas J. Karolides' "Focus on Black Adolescents"), and particular books, (e.g., Beverly Haley's "'The Pigman'- -Use It1"). Also included is an extensive list of current books and articles on adolescent literature, adolescents' reading interests, and how these books relate to the teaching of English..The bibliography is divided into (1) general bibliographies,(2) histories and criticism of adolescent literature, CO dime novels, (4) adolescent literature before 1940, (5) reading interest studies, (6) modern adolescent literature, (7) adolescent books in the schools, and (8) comments about young people's reading.

  • Letter to Congress
    June 15th, 2021 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Charles Schumer Speaker of the House Majority Leader U.S. House of Representatives U.S. Senate H-232, U.S. Capitol S-221, U.S. Capitol Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress, As leaders from many diverse faith traditions, we are united in our call for a bold economic recovery and infrastructure package that creates family and community sustaining jobs while caring for our climate and our neighbors. It is the moral responsibility of our nation, and our sacred task as people of faith, to protect our ecosystems, work for environmental justice and public health, and address the climate crisis. We urge you to support historic levels of investment that will safeguard Creation, address the impacts of climate change and pollution from fossil fuel extraction and related industries, and fulfill our moral obligation to leave a habitable world for future generations. Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and low-income communities have been hit the hardest by the triple health, economic, and environmental crises we face. The needs of these communities must be at the center of any infrastructure package. As we move from COVID relief to economic recovery, this moment offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to invest in the clean energy future while addressing the injustices of the past. We can achieve that by: Expanding clean, renewable energy and modernizing our electric grid We can accelerate the transition to clean energy by passing a national Clean Energy Standard that achieves 100% renewable, pollution free electricity by 2035, while also expanding investments in wind and solar power.

  • O. Henry Memorial Award Prize Stories of 1946 1
    * 1 OLIVER-WENDELL-HOU I LIBRARY This collection covers the period follow¬ ing the cease-fire order of World War 11, in which the world desperately tried to adjust itself properly to the “peace.” It is particularly significant this year be¬ cause the young men and women who had been too busy fighting for four years are now back at their typewriters. The short story reflects more immediately than any other literary form their chang¬ ing mood and determination. This year Hudson Strode, Helen Hull, and James Gray served as judges to pick the winners of the annual O. Henry Me¬ morial Award. First prize went to John Goss for Bird Song; second prize to Margaret Shedd for The Innocent By¬ stander, and third prize to Victor Ull- man for Sometimes You Break Even. A special prize for a first published short story was awarded to Gord Meyer, Jr., for Waves of Darkness. As in previous years, there is a fine introduction by Mr. Brickell, biographi¬ cal sketches of the authors whose works are included in the 1946 volume, a list of the magazines Mr. Brickell consulted in choosing the twenty-two stories in¬ cluded, and a list of the stories previ¬ ously awarded prizes. 5*-, ■ '-'. a 1 t" - '•'■> I • '‘'0/ ‘V -'•■ , ■' l\ ' '■-' - ’ Vji^.r : it/-;-■•- » ' ■^’ ■■ ( 1“ v:v '{''■■■ '' iiT' ' ' ■ ' ■ ? v;iy '' < 1 ’ ■;. ■ ^ n*. .-s .^-.-j J fc - r • ;■ > % ^ •: >5 , .j ^ • -j?? •-,» O.

Her ethics, resourcefulness, and resilience are a continual inspiration. iv EPIGRAPH “Before giving the history of any country, I tell the reader where it is; I give him a sketch of its present condition; I direct his attention to its place on the map, and ask him to observe its position in relation to other places . Thus it will be seen that I have made Geography the basis of History.” Samuel Griswold Goodrich “Children are . at heart the most confirmed regionalists.

We are delighted to host media representatives to help spread the word about the preservation work and public programing our nonprofit conducts to provide a greater understanding of Taliesin’s architecture and ideas— and we invite you to visit as part of your research. Taliesin is the personal home, studio, school, and 800-acre agricultural estate of Frank Lloyd Wright near Spring Green, Wisconsin. With buildings from nearly every decade of Wright’s life from the 1890s to the 1950s on land homesteaded by his Welsh grandparents, Taliesin is one of the most significant architectural anthologies in the world.
