    1 Maurice “Bud” Carrigan U.S. Army 2nd Lieutenant –Transportation Corp largest convoy to ever leave the United States. There were 100 ships with 500 men on each. The purpose of the convoy was to prepare for the invasion of France on June 6, 1943. The troops were unloaded in North Africa not far from where one of the most memorable battles was about to take place “D-Day”. We lost one ship and that ship was carrying a local man from Springfield, IL. We proceeded empty to Naples, Italy and then returned to North Africa and picked up 500 German prison- ers to take back to the United States. One pris- oner developed appendicitis on the way to the States and needed an operation. All we had aboard were two Arab eye, ear, nose & throat specialists and a PFC (private first class) by the name of Patterson who had “some” medical training. Maurice “Bud” Carrigan U.S. Army 2nd Lieutenant –Transportation Corp I was drafted into the U. S. Army in September 1942 at 21 years of age. I received my basic training at Camp Callan in California near San Diego. I spent six months in California and was then sent to Camp Davis, North Carolina for officer training. I was commissioned as 2nd Lieutenant in September 1943 as a anti-aircraft officer. For three months I was at a camp in Boston, Massachusetts and was then trans- ferred back to Camp Davis, North Carolina to learn Denver Plane Morris Code. About that time they decided they had too many officers in Anti-Aircraft and I was trans- ferred to the Transportation Corp.

  • The University of Utah Campus Master Plan
    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.

Oral History Interview, 1995. User Copy: 3 sound cassettes (ca.138 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Master Copy: 3 sound cassettes (ca.138 min.); analog, 1 7/8 ips, mono. Transcript: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Military Papers: 0.1 linear ft. (1 folder) Abstract: John R. Moses, a Madison, Wisconsin resident, discusses his service as a lieutenant in the 3rd Tank Battalion, 10 th Armored Division in the Army during World War II and his work as the Secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs from 1962 to 1982. Moses was born in North Dakota where his father, John Moses, was a prominent lawyer and politician who became Governor and later a U.S. Senator. Moses mentions that he and his father disagreed about the United States’ policy of isolationism prior to the war. Moses touches upon how the Depression and WPA projects affected North Dakota. In 1941, Moses was drafted into the Army and went through basic training at Camp Callan (California). He discusses his basic training in detail, describing the outdated World War I artillery and surveillance equipment they had to use. He describes the frenzy on the Army base during Pearl Harbor and how his coast artillery unit used spotlights to look for Japanese attackers off the California coast. Moses mentions his isolationist views changed after Pearl Harbor and says he was psychologically ready to serve.
