  • James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist--An Imaginary Conversation
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 474 132 SO 033 912 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty TITLE James Albert Michener (1907-97): Educator, Textbook Editor, Journalist, Novelist, and Educational Philanthropist--An Imaginary Conversation. PUB DATE 2002-00-00 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at Uplands Retirement Community (Pleasant Hill, TN, June 17, 2002). PUB TYPE Opinion Papers (120) EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Authors; *Biographies; *Educational Background; Popular Culture; Primary Sources; Social Studies IDENTIFIERS *Conversation; Educators; Historical Research; *Michener (James A); Pennsylvania (Doylestown); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper presents an imaginary conversation between an interviewer and the novelist, James Michener (1907-1997). Starting with Michener's early life experiences in Doylestown (Pennsylvania), the conversation includes his family's poverty, his wanderings across the United States, and his reading at the local public library. The dialogue includes his education at Swarthmore College (Pennsylvania), St. Andrews University (Scotland), Colorado State University (Fort Collins, Colorado) where he became a social studies teacher, and Harvard (Cambridge, Massachusetts) where he pursued, but did not complete, a Ph.D. in education. Michener's experiences as a textbook editor at Macmillan Publishers and in the U.S. Navy during World War II are part of the discourse. The exchange elaborates on how Michener began to write fiction, focuses on his great success as a writer, and notes that he and his wife donated over $100 million to educational institutions over the years. Lists five selected works about James Michener and provides a year-by-year Internet search on the author.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • JAMES A. MICHENER Has Published More Than 30 Books
    Bowdoin College Commencement 1992 One of America’s leading writers of historical fiction, JAMES A. MICHENER has published more than 30 books. His writing career began with the publication in 1947 of a book of interrelated stories titled Tales of the South Pacific, based upon his experiences in the U.S. Navy where he served on 49 different Pacific islands. The work won the 1947 Pulitzer Prize, and inspired one of the most popular Broadway musicals of all time, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific, which won its own Pulitzer Prize. Michener’s first book set the course for his career, which would feature works about many cultures with emphasis on the relationships between different peoples and the need to overcome ignorance and prejudice. Random House has published Michener’s works on Japan (Sayonara), Hawaii (Hawaii), Spain (Iberia), Southeast Asia (The Voice of Asia), South Africa (The Covenant) and Poland (Poland), among others. Michener has also written a number of works about the United States, including Centennial, which became a television series, Chesapeake, and Texas. Since 1987, the prolific Michener has written five books, including Alaska and his most recent work, The Novel. His books have been issued in virtually every language in the world. Michener has also been involved in public service, beginning with an unsuccessful 1962 bid for Congress. From 1979 to 1983, he was a member of the Advisory Council to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, an experience which he used to write his 1982 novel Space. Between 1978 and 1987, he served on the committee that advises that U.S.

Please contact STEVE WITTER at 303-790-4830 with any questions about the drinking Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) or for public participation opportunities that may affect the water quality. General Information All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791) or by visiting http://water.epa.gov/drink/contaminants. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV-AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk of infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, or to receive a copy of the U.S.

  • Books from Both Side of the Ditch
    Tidewater Tales: Books from Both Sides of the Ditch Book Collecting Contest January 21, 2019 1 Swimming in the Chesapeake Bay is one of the great joys of my life, from jumping off the bow of my parents Morgan 30’ as a child to swim in the almost fresh and almost always nettle-less Sassafras River, to moonlight swimming in the Chesapeake Bay proper from the beach at the end of the street where I grew up in Arundel on the Bay, and even the frosty exhilarance which comes with the Polar Bear Plunge at Sandy Point State Park. If you grew up within a 25 mile radius of the Chesapeake Bay, you refer to it ubiquitously as the Bay, an omnipresent waterway which bisects Maryland in two. And while the Bay can be experienced a number of ways be it sailing, powerboating, fishing, crabbing, or even a stroll at the water’s edge; swimming puts you in the middle of it. It is in this way that swimming is an apt metaphor for the experience of reading. Swimming in the Bay can take many forms too: from doggy paddling on the surface on the first perfect day in May, to diving down to murky black bottom looking for some refreshing water in late summer. Swimming is endlessly satisfying, an activity for both young and old, yet another way it is just like reading. It is hard to gain any perspective when you are swimming at the surface, so this collection is an attempt at providing some, about a beautifully varied subject.

    WYOMING STATE OF WYOMING COU NTY OF ALBANY THIS INSTRU MENT FILED FOR RECORD & DULY ENDORSED 2019 AUG 29 AH Jl: 07 t NO/OR RECORDED JACKIE R. GONZALES August 26, 2019 ALBANY COUNTY CLERK Albany County Board of Commissioners Albany County Courthouse 525 East Grand Avenue Laramie, WY 82070 Commissioners: As a homeowner in the North Fork Subdivisions near Centennial, I am concerned about the deterioration of my neighborhood due to the proliferation of commercial short-term lodging enterprises (VRBO/ Air B&B). These short-term rentals are not occupied by the owners when rented (many live out of state), they are advertised via various commercial websites for monetary gain, and the State of Wyoming requires them to pay sales and lodging tax. These are lodging businesses. These businesses have disrupted my community with trespassers, increased threats to our safety and excess use of our privately maintained roads. Since my community is zoned Rural Residential, I filed a Nuisance Complaint with the county planning office. I received a response that there are "no regulations in place that affect short-term rentals". I disagree. The zoning resolution states (paraphrased) in Chapter 4, Section 2, Paragraph D, that if a use isn't listed in the land use table, the Planning Director shall determine if a use is allowed, conditional, or prohibited based on whether the use is similar or compatible to another use in the zone and that it falls within the intent of the zoning regulations. land Use Table 4.11ists 11 uses that are allowed in a RR Zoning Classification.

It is fair to say that it has not been without honor among those who know its history. Small in its begin- nings, for a full century it grew in ever increasing use- fulness and strength. Now, upon entering on its second hundred years of life, old Middlesex, but ever young, wishes to express appreciation for the wise devotion of those who guided it so well in the past, gratitude to its patrons and agents who aid it in the present, and faith in the future. It was thought not unfitting to have this expression take the form of an historical sketch of the region where the Company was born one hundred years ago.

In 1861, when Kansas was made a state, Colorado was made a territory with Arapahoe County as one of the 17 original counties. The original Arapahoe County was 30 miles wide and extended from Sheridan Boulevard, the present western boundary of Denver, Adams and Arapahoe counties to the Kansas border. This peculiar shape was due to the practice of giving counties with large amounts of plains territory at least some of the foothill territory where there was water for mining and irrigation.
