  • FID in FOCUS Bret Schaefer
    FID IN FOCUS Fall Newsletter 2020 A message from incoming Board Chair Bret Schaefer I am honored to be the incoming Board Chair of FID, following Richard Cheung, who has been an incredible leader of this organization for the past several years. I have been serving as Treasurer, and so have seen the tremendous growth that Friends In Deed has experienced, both financially and programmatically. We are serving so many more people in need, but providing our critical services with the same hallmark compassion, connection, and dignity. Of course, during these extremely difficult times of COVID, there have been unprecedented challenges. I am proud of our staff, volunteers and board of directors for stepping up and meeting these challenges head on, adapting our programs to meet the needs of our community, and doing it so successfully. The foundation for the long-term success of FID is the dedicated support we receive from the community both in terms of volunteers and financial support. We are especially gratified by the increased level of donations we have received in response to the economic hardship our most vulnerable neighbors have experienced this year. I am hopeful that our current challenges will inspire the community to support redoubled efforts to serve the homeless and disadvantaged in Pasadena. So, thanks to all you for being part of our team! I look forward to serving FID in the coming year and with your help we will continue to do together what we cannot do alone. Stories from the programs Timely support Creating communities during COVID - Kenneth's Story Kenneth’s mother died a year before his release from jail, which meant that he re- entered society with almost no support network.

  • Tony Demarco and the Atlantic Wave Includes Tony Demarco, Siobhan Butler, Donie Carroll, Sean Earnest, and Martin O’Connell
    Tony DeMarco and the Atlantic Wave includes Tony DeMarco, Siobhan Butler, Donie Carroll, Sean Earnest, and Martin O’Connell Tony DeMarco was born on May 20, 1955, the second of three children raised in East Flatbush by Paul DeMarco and his wife, the former Patricia Dempsey. Paul, a grandson of Italian immigrants, was a teenage lightweight boxing star who turned down an offer to turn pro and work with lightweight champ Paddy “Billygoat” DeMarco in order to pursue a more conventional career on Wall Street. Tony’s maternal grandfather Jimmy Dempsey was a New York City cop and a son of Irish immigrants who married Philomena “Minnie” Fenimore, one of several Italian-American siblings who married into Brooklyn Irish families. Musical ability runs on both sides of Tony’s family. During the Prohibition years, Minnie Dempsey’s Italian immigrant father ran a speakeasy in East New York, where he played the piano and mandolin. Tony’s paternal uncle Louie DeMarco was a singer who performed with 1950s doo-wop groups, including “Dickie Dell and the Ding Dongs.” Tony’s cousin John Pattitucci, from the Fenimore side of the family, is a leading professional bass player who has recorded with jazz stars Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, and Wayne Shorter. But Tony definitely found his way to Irish traditional music via a different path than the one trod by musicians raised in Irish immigrant households. As he puts it: “I never grew up with the competitive Comhaltas scene—I came through the hippie scene, the folkie scene.” His first exposure to Irish traditional music was through a Folkways recording of the County Sligo fiddler Michael Gorman.

  • Ansteorran College of Heralds Does Estrill Swet, Retiarius Pursuivant, Make Greetings
    Here are the decisions about ILoI0009 made on December 9, 2000 (AS XXXV) at Stargate Yule Revel, as typed by Kathri (who has corrected the item headers where Bordure needed it, which explains why some of the comments seem to be about problems that don't exist.) Griffon, Bordure (and deputy-Asterisk-for-the-day) Unto the Ansteorran College of Heralds does Estrill Swet, Retiarius Pursuivant, make greetings. For information on commentary submission formats or to receive a copy of the collated commentary, you can contact me at: Deborah Sweet 824 E 8th, Stillwater, OK 74074 405/624-9344 (before 10pm) [email protected] Commenters for this issue: Magnus von Lübeck - Raven's Fort. All items were checked against the on-line O&A. Mari Elspeth nic Bryan - Solveig Throndardottir, Name Construction in Mediaeval Japan, Free Trumpet Studies in Heraldry & Onomastics 87 (Albuquerque, NM: The Outlaw Press, 1994). Andrew W. Nelson, The Compact Nelson Japanese-English Character Dictionary, abridged by John H. Haig. (Rutland, Vermont: Charles E. Tuttle Company, 1999). The documentation for a number of the name submissions in this ILoI is not presented in enough detail to be reviewed by the College of Arms without problems. It is not simply enough to (for example) state that a name is in Withycombe. Even "Withycombe, page (page #)" is not enough. Different editions of Withycombe have the headers on different pages. Even the 3rd edition hardback has entries on different pages than the 3rd edition paperback. Name documentation has to be summarized clearly and completely enough that: 1) a commenter can quickly and easily look up the reference and 2) it is clear why this reference supports the registration of the submitted name In a number of the comments below, I refer to the Annals of Connacht.
