Kathy Egemo Oakland May gratitude be a handprint you leave on the hearts of others. 2 Common Love Betty Goettsch, Western Home Community Senior Ashley E. Gjorcevski , UNI Human Relations Senior 5B10 Even though I have only known you for a short time, I think you are one of the most amazing people I have ever met. You have accomplished so much in your 93 years of life and you show no signs of slowing down. You raised three successful children and now, you have five beautiful grandchildren. You received the first ever Distributed Education degree from Iowa State University, and you taught and inspired high school students for over 30 years. The first time we met, we connected over our common love of the Theatre. You are very involved in the Waterloo Community Playhouse and I am very involved in the Theatre program here at UNI. We talked about how you got started in theatre and some of the roles you have played; but most importantly, we talked about how theatre changes people. We agreed that theatre is a great way for people to learn to appreciate themselves and to help people discover their identity. However, I think the most significant thing you told me was how your faith has guided you through the tough times. You told me stories about some of the hardships you have faced and how each time, someone just happened to be there to help you. When I asked you if you thought it was luck, you said, “Some people think the Lord works in mysterious ways, but I don’t. I think the good Lord works his message through people.” I hope you realize how inspiring you are and how many people you have touched. I hope that when you look back at your life, you realize what a “star” you are. Thank you so much for being my friend. 3 S.T.O.R.I.E Time Seniors Teach Others Real Intergenerational Experiences Kathy Oakland Teacher Education Majors at the University of Northern Iowa are matched with senior adults residing at Western Home Communities. During their ten one-hour meetings, the students and residents are guided in their discussions by the book Gratitude: Affirming One Another Through Stories (2013) written by UNI Emeritus Faculty, Dr. Len Froyen. Celebrate gratitude as the courier of the stories you tell. Dr. Froyen’s words are threaded throughout the book, as he has been the thread of the program. Through conversations and stories, the seniors of both generations are enhancing their understanding, compassion and acceptance of each other. S.T.O.R.I.E. Time gives the seniors a chance to choose a story together that will be written for the book. Special Thanks to: University of Northern Iowa, Department of Teaching, Western Home Communities, UNI Donald Rod Library, Special Gratitude to: Len Froyen, Grandma Carol Shelton, Terri Knutson, Mary Nielsen, Hillary Mason and Katelyn Brown 4 EXPLORING LIFE Carolyn Martin Director of Volunteer Services, Western Home Communities The 108 residents who are engaged with the UNI seniors are having a great time exploring life together. The UNI seniors are getting to know a piece of history they otherwise would not have access to, and our Western Home Communities seniors are getting the opportunity to share their legacy with a younger generation. As we age, we naturally start looking for ways of making a difference, finding the purpose of our lives and sharing stories of our lives so they are not lost forever. This project between UNI and Western Home Communities does just that. Besides sharing stories, our residents have an additional connection to UNI, many of our residents’ alma mater. They have something to look forward to and are finding creative ways of engaging the students in their lives at Western Home Communities. Relationships such as the ones that are being developed through the STORIE project have a lasting impact, far beyond the 10 weeks the students will be visiting. Both generations become more comfortable with people outside their peer group; students have a better understanding of what the families of their future students will be dealing with; our residents have a greater understanding of the pressures and expectations on young people today. Developing these relationships creates compassion, understanding and a tolerance that isn’t possible without this type of interaction. The residents are eager to share their stories and to know that they will be written down and included in the book. They are eager to read stories of other matches and see where their conversations have led. It will be a perfect culmination to what has been, and will continue to be, a fantastic relationship between the Department of Teaching and Western Home Communities. May gratitude be a guest of your heart and a companion of your soul. 5 Section 1 Dedication Common Love Betty Goettsch . Ashley E. Gjorcevski PROLOGUE Audrey Schoeman .

  • **************************************************** the Letters of Charles Dickens. Edited by His Sister
    **************************************************** THE LETTERS OF CHARLES DICKENS. EDITED BY HIS SISTER-IN-LAW AND HIS ELDEST DAUGHTER. **************************************************** VOL. I. 1833 TO 1856. SECOND EDITION.—FIFTH THOUSAND. LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, 193, PICCADILLY. 1880. TO KATE PERUGINI, THIS MEMORIAL OF HER FATHER IS LOVINGLY INSCRIBED BY HER AUNT AND SISTER. PREFACE WE intend this Collection of Letters to be a Supplement to the "Life of Charles Dickens," by John Forster. That work, perfect and exhaustive as a biography, is only in- complete as regards correspondence; the scheme of the book having made it impossible to include in its space any letters, or hardly any, besides those addressed to Mr. Forster. As no man ever expressed himself more in his letters than Charles Dickens, we believe that in publishing this careful selection from his general correspondence we shall be supplying a want which has been universally felt. Our request for the loan of letters was so promptly and fully responded to, that we have been provided with more than sufficient material for our work. By arranging the letters in chronological order, we find that they very frequently explain themselves and form a narrative of the events of each year. Our collection dates from 1833, the commencement of Charles Dickens's literary life, just before the starting of the “Pickwick Papers," and is carried on up to the day before his death, in 1870. We find some difficulty in being quite accurate in the arrangements of letters up to the end of 1839, for he had a careless habit in those days about dating his letters, very frequently putting only the day of the week on which he wrote, curiously in contrast with the habit of his later life, when his dates were always of the very fullest.

  • JEAN WEBSTER DADDY-LONG-LEGS to YOU Blue
    JEAN WEBSTER DADDY-LONG-LEGS TO YOU Blue Wednesday The first Wednesday in every month was a Perfectly Awful Day--a day to be awaited with dread, endured with courage and forgotten with haste. Every floor must be spotless, every chair dustless, and every bed without a wrinkle. Ninety-seven squirming little orphans must be scrubbed and combed and buttoned into freshly starched ginghams; and all ninety-seven reminded of their manners, and told to say, `Yes, sir,' `No, sir,' whenever a Trustee spoke. It was a distressing time; and poor Jerusha Abbott, being the oldest orphan, had to bear the brunt of it. But this particular first Wednesday, like its predecessors, finally dragged itself to a close. Jerusha escaped from the pantry where she had been making sandwiches for the asylum's guests, and turned upstairs to accomplish her regular work. Her special care was room F, where eleven little tots, from four to seven, occupied eleven little cots set in a row. Jerusha assembled her charges, straightened their rumpled frocks, wiped their noses, and started them in an orderly and willing line towards the dining-room to engage themselves for a blessed half hour with bread and milk and prune pudding. Then she dropped down on the window seat and leaned throbbing temples against the cool glass. She had been on her feet since five that morning, doing everybody's bidding, scolded and hurried by a nervous matron. Mrs. Lippett, behind the scenes, did not always maintain that calm and pompous dignity with which she faced an audience of Trustees and lady visitors.

HOYT. NEW YORK 1906 (oOl mXt » « — »--».»— NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865. The Drayton letters printed herewith came to the New York Public Library from Miss Gertrude L. Hoyt, with the following note : My dear Dr. Billings The following letters were written during the war of the rebellion to my father, Lydig M. Hoyt and to Alexander Hamilton, grandson of General Hamilton, by Captain Percival Drayton, U. S. N. He belonged to a distinguished family of South Carolina. His grand father, William Drayton, was a jurist in colonial times, and on the adoption of the constitution in i789, was appointed the first United States Judge for South Carolina. His father, also named William, was educated in England for the law and enjoyed an extensive practice in i8i2, when he was com missioned lieutenant-colonel of infantry in the war with Great Britain. In this service he rose to be colonel and afterwards inspector general. After the war he became Recorder of Charleston and in i824 was elected to a seat in Con v gress which he occupied until i833. During this period occurred the great .1 contest over Nullification. In the face of strong pressure brought to bear 7 by the government of his native state and by his personal friends and relatives, Drayton steadily and effectively opposed that principle as fatal to the authority of the United States government.

Besides, I have consulted Mr. Davy Higgins, an eminent attorney of this place, who, after due inspection and consideration, declareth, That he doth not think the said Letters contain any matter which will be held actionable in the eye of the law.
