Family Treasures Family Treasures Preface Family Treasures Family Treasures Preface The original purpose of this book was to be a birthday present to my grandmother, Edna Nelson, how- ever over time it has grown into much more than that. This book is now in its second edition and many corrections and improvements have been made to the text found in the original version. Additional research by Vaughn Nielsen (Vaughn was a great- grandson of Lars Hansen Christiansen), Allan Christiansen and his sister Marilyn have provided new information on Lars Hans Christiansen, the parents of Lars and the generation before that. The section on Myrtle Jensen was totally reworked with the story submitted by Izola Vincent, who gleaned Myrtle's diaries to create a brief history of her life. This book at first was only to be a history of the family of Moses Josephat Christiansen, however as more and more information was made available concerning the preceding generations I expanded the scope of the book to include more stories on those generations preceding Moses Christiansen. After collecting all the stories together on the computer they were put into a desktop publisher, which allowed me the flexibility to modify and add to the stories. To spice up the book a bit I knew it needed some pictures. I first drew upon my grandmother, Edna Nelson, who had some pictures that were used in a previous book, The Legacy of Norman Nels Nelson. These pictures were not enough and I knew where to get more. Aunt Nellie Christensen had been the de facto historian of the Christiansen family for a number of years and she also had a lot of pictures of the family from many years back. I made arrangements to be at her house on a Saturday afternoon. I packed up my computer, scanner, and laser Family Treasures printer and gently put them in my car and made the trip to Downey, Idaho where Nellie lived. Upon arrival I quickly went to work and began looking at one scrapbook after another and began scanning. Nellie called her brother John Christiansen to bring some pictures that he had. A few minutes later John had brought in a box or two of pictures which I quickly glanced through and decided which ones to scan. These pictures are the ones found in John's history in this book. Many of the pictures provided by Nellie were one of kind photographs that many in the family had not seen before. My favorite photo from this day of scanning was the one of Myrtle as a young woman. Some damage had been done to the picture when someone scratched it several times across the face. With a little computer magic I was able restore the photograph to the point where the scratches were less noticeable. The first portion of the book is the personal histories of the children of Moses and Mary Christiansen. Their appearance order is in the order of their birth. Elvin comes first, then Myrtle, Edna, Nellie, Eva, and John. Each history is written by their own hand. Some minor editing for spelling and clarity sake was done, but on the whole the text was preserved as is. John's history is the largest in the book and his sister Nellie helped put together the history by collating and organizing John's history in a sequential fashion and then transcribing it by hand. She literally worked day and night for several weeks to get this task accomplished. The next articles in the book are the personal histories of Moses and Mary Christiansen by Nellie Christensen. Following this is an article on Lars Hans Christiansen, which many will remember from the black covered family history book, The Lars Hans Christiansen Family that came out in the mid 1970s. New information on Lars has been added and it includes a section on the immigration to Utah. The voyage on the ship for Lars and his family was not a comfortable one as their were 974 on board, not counting the crew. Many got sick and some 40+ children died during the crossing. After coming to America, Lars and his family crossed the American plains and arrived in Salt Lake City. An account by some concerning the trip has been added to this new edition. After the history on Lars articles on his parents, Christian Christoffersen and Christiania Pedersen Christoffersen appear with some new information added at the end under the heading of "Addendum". At the end of the book is an appendix of stories that were added to the original book that I felt would add to the value of the book. In the appendix a map has been added at Allan Christiansen's suggestion to provide an idea where some of the family came from in Denmark. Some came from a narrow strip of an island called Langeland. Next is a pedigree chart beginning with Lars Hans Christiansen showing the family tree as it is known today. After the chart Nellie and her sister Edna share early reminisces of life on the farm in Cherry Creek and life in Downey, Idaho. The life sketch of Myrtle is next and it is a great tribute to the life of Myrtle. After this is a transcription of an interview I had with my grandmother, Edna Nelson some years ago. I had not thought of including any information concerning my grandfather (Norman Nelson) in this book as it a book of history on the Christiansen family, but John Christiansen changed my mind. He had many experiences with my grandfather and felt strongly that he should share those experiences, so he wrote me a letter several pages long describing the adventures he had with my grandfather, which make up the second to last story in the book. The final page in the book was going to be blank, but I thought that I would put in one little article on my grandfather, Norman Nelson, who was married to my grandmother, Edna for over 65 years. Many in the Christiansen family and extended family remember Norman for his kind heart and great spirit. After the book was completed I had to come up with a title. I chose the title, Family Treasures for this book as it contains many treasures throughout the book in the stories and pictures of those in the family. Finally I would like to end with a sentiment by Izola Vincent that describes how family can have an impact on us for many years after they are gone. Those we hold most dear never truly leave us. They live on in the kindness they showed, the comfort they shared and the love they brought into our lives.

  • Death, Travel and Pocahontas the Imagery on Neil Young's Album
    Hugvísindasvið Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson September 2008 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskuskor Death, Travel and Pocahontas The imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps Ritgerð til B.A.-prófs Hans Orri Kristjánsson Kt.: 260180-2909 Leiðbeinandi: Sveinn Yngvi Egilsson September 2008 Abstract The following essay, “Death, Travel and Pocahontas,” seeks to interpret the imagery on Neil Young’s album Rust Never Sleeps. The album was released in July 1979 and with it Young was venturing into a dialogue of folk music and rock music. On side one of the album the sound is acoustic and simple, reminiscent of the folk genre whereas on side two Young is accompanied by his band, The Crazy Horse, and the sound is electric, reminiscent of the rock genre. By doing this, Young is establishing the music and questions of genre and the interconnectivity between folk music and rock music as one of the theme’s of the album. Young explores these ideas even further in the imagery of the lyrics on the album by using popular culture icons. The title of the album alone symbolizes the idea of both death and mortality, declaring that originality is transitory. Furthermore he uses recurring images, such as death, to portray his criticism on the music business and lack of originality in contemporary musicians. Ideas of artistic freedom are portrayed through images such as nature and travel using both ships and road to symbolize the importance of re-invention.

  • Dobber's 2010-11 Fantasy Guide
    DOBBER’S 2010-11 FANTASY GUIDE DOBBERHOCKEY.COM – HOME OF THE TOP 300 FANTASY PLAYERS I think we’re at the point in the fantasy hockey universe where DobberHockey.com is either known in a fantasy league, or the GM’s are sleeping. Besides my column in The Hockey News’ Ultimate Pool Guide, and my contributions to this year’s Score Forecaster (fifth year doing each), I put an ad in McKeen’s. That covers the big three hockey pool magazines and you should have at least one of them as part of your draft prep. The other thing you need, of course, is this Guide right here. It is not only updated throughout the summer, but I also make sure that the features/tidbits found in here are unique. I know what’s in the print mags and I have always tried to set this Guide apart from them. Once again, this is an automatic download – just pick it up in your downloads section. Look for one or two updates in August, then one or two updates between September 1st and 14th. After that, when training camp is in full swing, I will be updating every two or three days right into October. Make sure you download the latest prior to heading into your draft (and don’t ask me on one day if I’ll be updating the next day – I get so many of those that I am unable to answer them all, just download as late as you can). Any updates beyond this original release will be in bold blue.

  • THE HISTORY of SMU FOOTBALL 1910S on the Morning of Sept
    OUTLOOK PLAYERS COACHES OPPONENTS REVIEW RECORDS HISTORY MEDIA THE HISTORY OF SMU FOOTBALL 1910s On the morning of Sept. 14, 1915, coach Ray Morrison held his first practice, thus marking the birth of the SMU football program. Morrison came to the school in June of 1915 when he became the coach of the University’s football, basketball, baseball and track teams, as well as an instructor of mathematics. A former All-Southern quarterback at Vanderbilt, Morrison immediately installed the passing game at SMU. A local sportswriter nicknamed the team “the Parsons” because the squad was composed primarily of theology students. SMU was a member of the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which ruled that neither graduate nor transfer students were eligible to play. Therefore, the first SMU team consisted entirely of freshmen. The Mustangs played their first game Oct. 10, 1915, dropping a 43-0 decision to TCU in Fort Worth. SMU bounced back in its next game, its first at home, to defeat Hendrix College, 13-2. Morrison came to be known as “the father of the forward pass” because of his use of the passing game on first and second downs instead of as a last resort. • During the 1915 season, the Mustangs posted a record of 2-5 and scored just three touchdowns while giving up 131 Ownby Stadium was built in 1926 points. SMU recorded the first shutout in school history with a 7-0 victory over Dallas University that year. • SMU finished the 1916 season 0-8-2 and suffered its worst 1920s 1930s loss ever, a 146-3 drubbing by Rice.
