All who had photos were eager to share them with us and have them be a part of this book; even when they had no photos they were glad to tell stories about their experiences with Harry or Morgan School or the churches, stores, sawmill or saloons of Morgan Siding. Everybody knew somebody in the book; everyone had a story about a teacher, a classmate or an escapade in the classroom. The wealth of remembrances and their ease in pulling forth both hilarious and sorrowful stories from the past gave this publisher a renewed appreciation for the National Treasure that is our Elders. Here are the names of those who contributed, in one way or another, to the making of this volume and to whom we wish to express our deepest thanks; First, the Bauman Family - Harry's wife and children - who gave Muh-he-con- neew Press permission to publish his manuscript. Geraldine "Dean" Ninham Bauman, Harry's wife of fifty-four years, who was pleased to know that we would be publishing his memoir but who left us quite unexpectedly in 2004 before that could happen; Deanna, who searched for family photos to share with us and who introduced me to her sister Jeri's edited version of Harry's work, and more; John, who contributed more photos; Mary, especially, and her daughter Missy also, who spent many hours of many days with me visiting with Elders, listening to and laughing at their recollections of Morgan Siding, sorting out pictures, helping to create captions, and preserving it all on the computer, and more; Carol, who took us over to see Morgan School one early evening in 2000 and contributed the beautiful photos she took at the time (see back cover); Jeri, who was the first to edit her dad's memoir and who also lent us his original handwritten manuscript among other memorabilia pictured in the book; Judy, who encouraged her son Jeremiah to sketch Morgan School for his grandfather's book cover, and more. All have been supportive and helpful in every way they could and we extend our warmest thanks to them. And then there were many others, whom I will list in the order in which I visited with them; I BillTerrio, who first gave me a copy of Harry Bauman's memoir with the hope that it would be published some day; Delia (nee Murphy) Grant, who gave me information about the "Morgan School kids"; Anita (nee-Wickman) Hashbarger, who contributed photos of Morgan classes and gave me several good references for more; Ernie (nee Quinney) Murphy and Clarence Chicks, who answered as many questions as they could about Morgan School, its students and teachers; KentTempus at the SHAWANO LEADER, who gave permission to reproduce clippings from earlier issues of the newspaper; Dori Karcz, Marie Reed and Sue Hogard in the LEADER office, who exhibited great patience on several occasions when I needed help with those big "tomes" of newspapers of past years; Linda Grams and Cassie Cummings,librarians,and Kristine Neumann,audiovisual aide, at the Shawano County Public Library, for their help in finding resources and making copies; Bob Klopke, Principal of Gresham School, who gave me a copy of Jane Glenz's book TEACHING THEM TO FISH ... A HISTORY OF THE SHAWANO/ GRESHAM SCHOOL SYSTEM. Gwen Olsen, Town Clerk of Red Springs, who not only helped us acquire photos hanging in the Town Hall's display (thanks to Lonnie Schreiber's kind permission to take what we needed) but also lent us prints and a CD of Red Springs photos; Rosemary Bohm, Shawano County Clerk, who guided me through Harry's years on the County Board and during his chairmanship; Gordon Kopitzke, who recommended that I see Darlene Heller of the Shawano County Historical Society; Darlene, who found resources and made copies for me of documents regarding School District #3; John Mutter, who stopped by and had suggestions for the location of other resources; Linda Streyle of Door County Library, Katie Conklin of The Cooperative Children's Book Center and Nancy McClements, reference Librarian at the UW-Madison Library, who shared information with me about copyright law; Peg Hoffman,Tim Burr,Jackie Schmidt, Lollie Pleshek and Grace Schwefel, who gave me more suggestions of those who might have photos or information about Morgan Siding; Clark Raddatz of the Legislative Reference Bureau and Doug Huck, Mohican Tribal Attorney, who shared information on federal Indian policies; Jermain (nee Burr) Davids, who tried to locate photos of Morgan Siding in her family, and Bill Burr, her brother, who thereafter shared photos with us; Shari (nee Nietzer) Arendt of Gresham School, who referred me to her two uncles,Willie Little, who shared great stories with me about Morgan Siding and its school, and Fred Lemke, who also shared stories and tried to find photos for me from Harry Nietzer's collection; Edna Buettner, who took me on a tour of the Gresham Railroad Museum and went through numerous files and scrapbooks with me to find articles about folks from Morgan Siding in the '20s and '30s; 2 Betty (nee Robinson) Jonsson and Jan Ebert, who could not help with photos or information but were extremely supportive of what we were doing; Merton "Pete" and Irene (nee Dempsey) Schreiber, who had us giggling with stories of Morgan Siding, who literally tore photos out of their albums for us, and who drew the map of Morgan Siding with its buildings and list of residents that is reproduced in this book; Imogene (nee Miller) Beiike, who told stories of Morgan and had her own information to add to the Schreiber map because she remembered it from a different time; Reverend Josh Martin, present Pastor of the Old Stockbridge Presbyterian Church in Morgan, who shared with me a brief history of the Presbyterian Church in earlier days; Cindy Miller, who had worked on the history of the Town of Red Springs with Sue Giese and Grace Schwefel and who gave me more wonderful photos and a copy of the CD of Red Springs pictures; Deb Cotter, Shawano County Treasurer, who found the 1911 Shawano County Plat Book for me as well as a great spot in her office to study its map of Morgan Siding; Nathalee (nee Bowman) Kristiansen and Cindy (nee Sparks) Jungenberg, staff of the Arvid E.

United Methodist Task Force on Immigration Bishop Minerva Carcaño, chair, 1550 E. Meadowbrook Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85014 | (602) 266-6956 or 1-800-229-8622 p. 1 of 55 Dear United Methodist Friends, On behalf of the United Methodist Immigration Task Force I want to thank you for walking compassionately with our immigrant brothers and sisters, and for your willingness to host a screening of the film, Made in LA. Made in LA is the story of three immigrant women, who have come to Los Angeles to work in the garment industry out of a desire to better care for their families. In the end, these women discover the power of their collective voice as they stand together in unity against exploitation by the retailer, Forever 21. The story beautifully illustrates the courage, perseverance, and strength that these women show daily in caring for their families, contributing to their communities, organizing to overcome exploitation, and building a life that is both inspiring and challenging. I pray that you and members of your faith community will watch this important film with open hearts and open minds. Attached you will find materials that will help you organize and publicize a screening of the film in your community. We hope these materials will help equip you to lead a discussion of the film. We are also including two of the immigration resolutions of The United Methodist Church along with discussion questions specifically designed for them.

  • Pre-Presidential Speeches
    Pre-Presidential Speeches • Luncheon Honoring Philippine Generals Santos & Valdez, Manila [January 1939] Our honored guests, this noon, have been the two senior officers of the Philippine Army practically from the date of its founding. No one could possibly be more familiar with the work they have done during the past three years, with the energy, the thought, the character, they have devoted to their duties, than myself. It is for this reason that I felt privileged to ask you to meet with me today in tribute to them, at the moment when one of them leaves the Army to assume another important position in the service of his people, while the other moves up to shoulder the responsibilities of the highest military post. Recently, I attended a movie in which one obstreperous female character asserted, each time she opened her mouth, that she spoke for two million club-women of the United States. Unlike that person, I am not authorized to speak for any group or sect, for any military or civil organization, or even for any individual except only Ike Eisenhower. But to my own opinions as to the loyalty, abilities and worthwhile accomplishments of Generals Santos and Valdez in the Philippine Army, I can and do give the most emphatic expression. Confirmation of my convictions can be found in every district, every city, every barrio of the Philippines. Slow but steady development of a real defensive force, progress toward greater unification of a people through intermingling in training station, better physiques among the trainees, greater observance of rules of health and hygiene and, finally, a definitely enhancing appreciation of the requirements of democratic citizenship, are but a few of the accomplishments traceable wholly or in part to the gradual unfolding of the defense plan.

Take your courage, Stock up patience, You’ll be gone for a while, Pack sweet memories, Save the ashes, You’re bound for exile. There’ll be miles upon miles, Fears upon fears, Sorrowful smiles, Joyous tears, Exquisite heartaches You’ll never forget, Grievous triumphs You’ll come to regret. Wait no more, Shake your woes, There’s no time to cry; Bring your Torah, Hit the road, Bid your home goodbye. In a faraway land, Weather-bitten and numb, You’ll steady your hand, You’ll build a new home. Getting help from the strangers You will sink bitter roots, You’ll win, break and savor The bread of galut. Look around, Touch the ground Where your forefathers lie; Make amends, Hug the friends You are leaving behind. When your children grow older, Own up to their past, Learn about their true homeland, Leave your dwellings at last, They’ll be thrust into bondage By the evil decree, Few in time would remember What it meant to be free.
