    The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project MARY NELL BRYANT Interviewed by: Charles Stewart Kennedy Initial interview date: August 6, 2009 Copyright 2015 ADST Q: Today is August 6, 2009. This is an interview with Mary Nell Bryant. I am doing this on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training (ADST), and I am Charles Stewart Kennedy. Do you call yourself Mary Nell, or…? BRYANT: Mary Nell. Q: Okay. Mary Nell, let's talk about when and where you were born. BRYANT: Miami, Florida in 1952. I was born and raised there. Q: Let's talk a bit on your father's side; then we will come to your mother's side. Where did Mr. Bryant come from, and what do you know about that side of the family? BRYANT: My father, Calvin Schofield Bryant, was born on a United Fruit plantation in Tela, Honduras, on the Caribbean coast. His father was Calvin Oak Bryant of Lakeland, Florida; his mother Nellie Schofield of Corozal, Belize, which is a seaside town now considered a great expat relocation destination. The Nell in my name comes from my paternal grandmother. My father’s first years were spent growing up on the United Fruit compound in Tela. Q: What do you know, say, at the grandfather level and the grandmother level? What do you know about that? What they were up to and…? BRYANT: My grandmother was born and raised in Corozal, one of 16 children of Ernest Augustus Henry Schofield and Petronita Novella. (Ten of the children lived to adulthood: Rosita, Dora, Ines, Mito, Tavo, Tom, Ernesto, Ida, Nellie Armitage and Judy.) Ernest Augustus Schofield came from London in 1879 at age 19 to work in his father’s lumber and shipping business.

  • 2008 Technical Information
    1 2008 TECHNICAL INFORMATION KONA BICYCLE COMPANY Kona is based in Ferndale, Washington and Vancouver, BC. During the last few decades, many riders and publications have discovered our local North Shore and Galbraith Mountain trails. While everybody thinks that they ride extreme trails, many would gape in disbelief down some of the near vertical ramps, ladders and root entangled mud slides that we ride on every day. This may not be the best riding, but it is very brutal on equipment and riders. It is in these conditions that we evaluate frame design and components. The feeling is, if it works here, it should work anywhere. The Kona name comes from our fascination with volcanic things. We're located on the Northern edge of the volcanic Cascade Mountain Range, which runs down the Pacific Coast from Canada to Southern California. The Hawaiian Islands are a volcanic chain, so the Kona name connection came along naturally. Kona was founded in 1988 by long-time riders and racers who had previously worked for other pioneering West Coast mountain bike companies. The original Kona bicycles were custom machines based on our own preference in high-performance off-road bikes. This tradition of making thoughtful, reliable, well-balanced bicycles is still the cornerstone of the Kona way. FRAME DESIGN Kona is constantly evaluating and adjusting our frame designs as rider demands and technology change. Rather than re-inventing the mountain bike every season based on the latest trend, we choose to fine-tune our proven designs. While the sloping top tube design that we pioneered 20 years ago has been largely imitated, we have continued to improve function with significant and subtle refinements.

Lindsey, Leonora Brooks Borden Trafford Administrative/Biographical History: Dora Keen was born June 24, 1871, in Philadelphia, a daughter of the surgeon William Williams Keen. She was educated at Bryn Mawr College, graduating in 1896. Her interest in mountaineering began during a trip to the Alps in 1909-1910. She traveled to Alaska in 1911 “merely to see the wonderful scenery of the southwest coast,”1 but shortly after arriving developed her plan to summit Mount Blackburn. Her first attempt failed; she returned and successfully reached the top on May 19, 1912. Keen’s 1911 expedition to Mt. Blackburn was the first expedition to use dogs on a mountain, the first to succeed without Swiss guides, the first to camp in snow caves, and the first to make a prolonged night ascent.2 1 Keen, Dora. “The first expedition to Mt. Blackburn.” Bulletin of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia, 10 (1912): 172-176.

  • 2012 GOR Marathon
    Road to Lorne – 2012 Where do I start? Perhaps with a warning. This is not so much a report, as a self-indulgent recollection of the long, long road to complete my second marathon. A bit of history before I get stuck into it..... I ran Melbourne ’04 in 3:38. After a far from ideal preparation I was happy with that result. And while I didn’t say “never again”, I didn’t have any real desire to revisit the distance. Running with the Milers for any length of time can make you re-evaluate your goals though. True, I’d run a marathon which 95% of the population never would, & I’d run it faster than half of the few who do run marathons. But I thought that I was better than a 3:38 marathoner. I didn't want that to be my lifetime PB. So the seed was planted & started to take root. Fast forward to 2009. With my 50th birthday on the horizon, the marathon bug bit again, but a bit harder this time. A steady start to the year, & solid cross training courtesy of plenty of kilometres on my nice, new flat bar road bike, had me in pretty good shape by the end of March. Things kept going well in April, with a good run in the VRR Westerfolds Half & a weekly average of over 70k. A pretty good base (for me), & I pretty much locked in Melbourne in my mind. A week & a half later I ran a PB around the Tan.
