West Bayshore Drive Traverse City, Michigan 49684 231-946-2647 [email protected] (c) Maritime Heritage Alliance 2011 1 1770's WELCOME History of the 1770's British Armed Sloop, WELCOME About mid 1700’s John Askin came over from Ireland to fight for the British in the American Colonies during the French and Indian War (in Europe known as the Seven Years War). When the war ended he had an opportunity to go back to Ireland, but stayed here and set up his own business. He and a partner formed a trading company that eventually went bankrupt and Askin spent over 10 years paying off his debt. He then formed a new company called the Southwest Fur Trading Company; his territory was from Montreal on the east to Minnesota on the west including all of the Northern Great Lakes. He had three boats built: Welcome, Felicity and Archange. Welcome is believed to be the first vessel he had constructed for his fur trade. Felicity and Archange were named after his daughter and wife. The origin of Welcome’s name is not known. He had two wives, a European wife in Detroit and an Indian wife up in the Straits. His wife in Detroit knew about the Indian wife and had accepted this and in turn she also made sure that all the children of his Indian wife received schooling. Felicity married a man by the name of Brush (Brush Street in Detroit is named after him).

THE fervid activity of our excellent admi­ ral, Sir Samuel Hood, in whose flag-ship I served as lieutenant from ]812 to 1815 on the Indian station, furnished abundant materials for journal-writing, had we only known how to profit by them. There was ever observable a boyish hilarity about this great officer which made it equally delightful to serve officially under him, and to enjoy his friendly companionship; in either case, we always felt certain of making the most of our opportunities. VOL. n.-SERIES Ill.

    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.
