THE GADSDEN Volume 229 GAB February 2009 THE GADSDEN Volume 229 GAB President’s Message 2 Birthdays/Community News 4 Activities & Festivities 6-7 The Chaplain’s Corner 11 Philip Simmons: A Consummate Artist and his Reflections Barbara Tuck As we enter Black History month, with the awe-inspiring inauguration of our first African- American president fresh in our minds, it’s fitting to celebrate living black history in the person of Philip Simmons who now resides among us here at BG. Powerful in his art and character, Simmons is the epitome of someone who’s lived humbly yet has achieved the summit of success in his chosen art—designing and creating beautiful pieces of ornamental ironwork. Eight years old, with fifty cents in his pocket, Philip left his grandparents’ home on Daniel Is- land and took the ferry to Charleston to live with his mother and to attend the first class at Buist School. Lured by the click-click-click of the blacksmith shop at the end of Calhoun Street, which had been owned by a former slave, Simmons couldn’t wait to start a promised apprenticeship at age 13. Once he started, he kept alive the tradition of African-American blacksmiths for the next 80 years. Simmons left horseshoes behind and created elaborate designs in ironwork that now adorn and char- acterize Charleston’s beautiful homes and buildings. Simmons reflected on black history in a bench he de- signed in a collaborative effort to commemorate Rosa Parks’ defiance on a Montgomery bus. The size of a bus seat for two, this simple bench made an awesome statement—with the outline of a bus and the year 1955 on its back. It was purchased by John Lewis, a link between Martin Luther King and the present. Lewis was never far from King, at the price of being brutally beaten and jailed many times. At the inau- guration, it was Lewis who was the first to be greeted as Obama stepped onto the stage to be sworn in. Asked what Obama’s inauguration meant to him, Simmons joyfully re- plies, ―What history I was able to be here to witness!‖ Simmons’ favorite customer, he says, was Jack Kraw- Philip Simmons made this gate at 67 check. ―That was the first gate I made, and it was then that I Broad Street for Robert Hollings realized I could make a living at it and wouldn’t have to and his wife Mary, a resident at work on a farm.‖ A former Boy Scout leader, Simmons says BG.

The new and greatly expanded Market Place Café, which we ushered into operation on New Year’s Eve, is receiving high compliments not only for its trendy, upbeat dé- cor, but moreover for the quality of food and the greatly expanded variety of fresh and delicious options. It’s lots of fun, especially during lunch, to experience the energy created by residents, family members, friends and staff all enjoying the space and time together. The Grimsley Foyer, Gussenhoven Drawing Room and Blackmer Hall are also nearing completion and, as is to be expected, the range of opinions on our ―new look‖ span the continuum. The intention was to take a fresh approach to the traditional and to create a few unex- pected ―surprises.‖ I think that has been beautifully accomplished. The corridors are in the process of getting their renovations and should be completed in the next eight weeks. Their new look is also very different—sophisticated and elegantly modern. I n the next week to ten days, we plan to have the ―Art Loft,‖ ―Club Room,‖ ―BG Rehab‖ and the yet-to- be-named salon and spa open and operating. Bishop Gadsden already has many opportunities for fun and friendship to evolve, but these new and expanded options will add tremendously to the vitality of our community life. Life is good- --especially if you’re at BG! A private tour of the White House! General Tommy Thorne of Myers Hall and his daughter, Margaret Seidler were invited on a tour of a lifetime and wanted to share it with all GAB readers! David Martin, Margaret’s dear friend, invited them to a tour on Jan 3, 2009, of the Eisenhower Executive Building and the West Wing of the White House. Please read on for the wonderful trip description in his own words. We stayed at the luxurious Hotel Monaco, 700 F Street, just six blocks from the White House. The hotel was the site of the first Post Office in the United States. The Pony Express would ride up and deliver the mail. Later the building served as the US Tariff Department, then was converted into its cur- rent use. The hotel’s architect was Robert Mills – same as the Mills House Hotel in Charleston. He designed many of our capitol’s famous structures. On Saturday morning we did the East Wing Tour of the Eisenhower Ex- ecutive Office Bldg (David’s office is #49). First Floor: We took the public tour and entered the East Colonnade and viewed numerous photos of many modern-day presidents and their spouses. Security was super. We also saw the library. It has rich, dark red walls and a ―to die for‖ Oriental rug. Books are checked out to the First Family and White House staff. I got a sneak peek of the Diplomatic Reception room – the public is not allowed – but I got to pass through since I used the elevator to go upstairs to the ―State Floor.‖ State Floor: In the East Room there is a Large Ballroom where 140 guests can be seated for dinner! During our visit, staff were dismantling piece-by -piece the massive chandeliers for a thorough cleaning after removing the holi- day decorations. Then there is the Blue Room that is one of Continued on Pg. 5 2 View the Gab in color on-line at http://www.bishopgadsden.org/community_life/newsroom.html Cover story continued from Page 1 happened,‖ says Simmons.

During challenging or discouraging times, the natural human tendency is to seek isolation. The pur- pose of the Faith and Finance sessions is to provide a secure venue where individuals can share personal experiences and con- cerns about the current economic downturn, while identifying sources that help one to cope—particularly the resources of one’s faith and faith tradition. The next Faith and Finance session will be held in Blackmer Hall on Thursday, February 12 from 3:30 p.m.

Introduction and Afterword by Lewis L. Gould. Published for the National Archives Trust Fund Board.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

  • Southwesterner: Summer 1999
    SUMMER 1999 THE INAUGURATION OF PRESIDENT MERRIMAN 1999 COMMENCEMENT THE SOUTHWESTERNER Vol. 35, No. 2, Summer 1999 From the President A couple of issues back, I told you about our plans to revitalize the college’s alumni affairs program. This is an update on our progress. The college has hired Pam Cockayne to the position of director of alumni programs. Nan Hinson, formerly of the president’s office, and Ruth Archambeau, already in the institutional ad- vancement office, are joining Pam as assistant directors of alumni programs. So, the staff is in place. So is the vision. Pam has laid out plans for building the “Southwestern Grapevine,” a gro wing network of contacts between SC alumni, between our alumni and our current students, and between the college and our gradu- ates. In the coming year the grapevine will be growing in all directions, providing expanded opportunities for alumni gatherings, alumni travel opportunities, an alumni Dick Merriman admission network, opportunities for career networking with students who need your help as they seek jobs after graduation, and much more. When students go to a high quality college, they know they are go- ing to get a first-rate education. But they also know that a network of contacts and friendships—a very valuable alumni network—will be waiting for them when they graduate. I don’t see why it should be any different for SC students and alumni. That’s how premier colleges oper- ate. We welcome your involvement and your help as we build the South- western Grapevine for you and your classmates.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.
