I am grateful for all the encouragement, help and ideas he gave me throughout the writing. He was the one who helped me to figure out the subject of my work which I am especially thankful for as it has been such a pleasure working on it! Secondly, I want to thank my boyfriend Patrick who shared enthusiasm for my subject, inspired me, and always encouraged me to keep up even when my mood was down. Also my friend Sarah who gave me a feedback on my thesis was a very big help and I am grateful. A special thank you goes to my parents who always believed in me and supported me. Thanks to all the teachers and professors who provided me with the necessary baggage of knowledge which I will now proudly carry through life. iii Foreword In my previous research paper I wrote about film discourse, thus, this time I wanted to continue with it but have something new, some kind of challenge which would interest me. After a conversation with my thesis guide, Professor Slembrouck, we decided to stick on to film discourse but to expand it.

    Wisconsin Public Television Korean War Stories Project Transcript of an Oral History Interview with ALICE DORN Flight Nurse, Air Force, Korean War 2005 Wisconsin Veterans Museum Madison, Wisconsin OH 1039 1 OH 1039 Dorn, Alice M. Goblirsch, (1928- ). Oral History Interview, 2005. Video Recording: 3 videorecordings (ca. 65 min.); ½ inch, color. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder). Abstract: Alice M. Dorn, née Goblirsch, a Sleepy Eye, Minnesota native, discusses her service in the Air Force as a flight nurse during the Korean War. Dorn talks about hospital duty at March Field (California) and treating patients for frostbite. He touches on volunteering to be a flight nurse, flight nurse training, and volunteering for overseas duty. Assigned to the 801st Medical Air Evac Squadron, part of the 315 Air Combat Troop Carrier Squadron, Dorn details treating patients on flights between Korea and Japan being based at Tachikawa (Japan), Ashiya Air Base (Japan), and Kimpo Air Force Base (Korea). She recalls the types of planes she rode in and being unequipped to handle the winter cold. Dorn states the planes would also carry prisoner of war patients and supplies such as cabbage. She comments on seeing United Nations troops from India, Greece, and Australia and she tells of meeting up with a pair of brothers who used to be her neighbors. Dorn reflects on the medical advancements made during the war, including collapsible IV fluids, and describes the routes, methods, and destinations of medical air evacuations. She portrays her living quarters in a Quonset hut, having to always be escorted by an armed guard, and Saturday night dances with a live band.

  • Article 03 Carleton and Parkman
    “MENDO MAN”: A JOURNEY BEYOND THE GRAVE EMILY A. CARLETON AND E. BRECK PARKMAN Recovered human remains from Mendocino Headlands State Park takes a 27-year long journey back to the grave. State Archaeologist Breck Parkman and Emily Carleton partnered up on the task in 2013 and used the opportunity to spark the interest of archaeology in the local community. The intent to put the young man back to rest proved the perfect time to teach the public the value of archaeology and the respect of remains long after someone is laid to rest. On April 22, 1986, State Archaeologist E. Breck Parkman was called upon to recover the skeletal remains of a man whose unmarked grave had started to erode out of the cliff face at Mendocino Headlands State Park, within the Town of Mendocino. During the previous year, the popular TV series, “Murder She Wrote,” had been permitted to film an episode just 100 feet away, in which the skeleton of a murder victim from long ago was discovered on a coastal construction site in fictitious Cabot Cove, Maine. Of course, amateur crime sleuth, Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury), came in and solved this very cold case involving one Joshua Peabody, the founder of Cabot Cove and a Revolutionary War hero. When the “Mendo Man” was discovered just months afterwards, it caused quite a stir in the area and was widely reported by the local news media (Figure 1). Usually, the discovery of human remains is kept quiet, but, in this case, a careless law enforcement officer talked about the eroding burial on his radio, which was overheard by a local reporter monitoring a police band radio.

  • RETELLING EXODUS Cultural Negotiation Among Pennsylvania Acadians
    RETELLING EXODUS Cultural Negotiation among Pennsylvania Acadians Stefanie Jackson Honors History Thesis Professors Sandra Joshel and Richard Johnson University of Washington Submitted 18 March 2014 1 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth. Deuteronomy 28:25 Long ago, along the sleepy agricultural peninsulas of French Acadia, rustic communities dotted fertile meadows spliced by glassy rivers that watered the forests. On a dewy morning in 1755, this peace and calm was torn asunder by British troops sworn to amass the innocent farmers of the region and cast them out into the breadth of the British Empire. One young woman, Evangeline Bellefontaine could only watch as British officers abused her father and boarded her fiancé Gabriel Lajeunesse on a swarming, congested ship headed for the British colonies. After she too was cast off, Evangeline spent the remainder of her life wandering across North America, from the eastern seaboard to the western plains searching for her lost fiancé, until much later, as a Sister of Mercy, she discovered him dying in a Philadelphia hospital. Before he died in her arms, they confirmed their eternal love for each other, sharing a final sweet moment that somehow encapsulated decades of tribulation, determination, and longing. This is actually a story, not history but rather a fiction told by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his epic poem Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie. Since the poem’s publication in 1847, the histories of Acadian exiles reflect these same patterns: nostalgic tales of small agriculturalists tragically torn from their homes, wandering through exile, and finally reuniting to restore culture and community.
