Box 26668 Rochester, New York 14626 PREFACE What follows is unique. Son ofa Methodist minis- ter from a small town in Northern New York,Donald Eberly is living proof thatone person can make a dif- ference even in today's complex society. Here isan insider's view of the goings-onof Washington bureaucracy by a man who, quitesingle-handedly with- out "influence," has been ableto reach appropriate people in government andto effect legislation for a cause which could be crucial for America. Donald Eberly has been absolutelysteadfast in pursuing the national service idealover most of his career. Don's is an absorbing story for itsown sake. But more important is his mission whichhe has duti- fully served for decades and isyet unfulfilled. He continues to serve it in this bookas he describes the rationale, the design and theevolution of national service. It is indeeda promise worth keeping. John Stevens Editor and Publisher Dear Nicholas, 1,nna and Sarah, You may some day read these words ina history textbook: Following a 1906 speech by William James inwhich he advocated a moral equivalent ofwar, the debate on national service waxed and waned for nearlya century before it was finally adopted by the United States. This was the kind of approachto history I encount. in high school and it failed to ignite much interestin the subject. By contrast, history assignments in col- lege steered me to copies of original documentsand to contemporary accounts of historical events. Reading these papers made historycome alive for me and led me to feel that I had a decent understanding of what had happened in the period under study. With this background in mind, it occurredto me that you might like to read what I have hadto say about national serviceover the years, together with a commentary to weave the pieces together and to describe relevant events. As a matter of fact, thecommentary sections of this book beganas a letter to Nicholas and Anna, before Sarah was born. A 1976 suggestion by Willard Wirtz has also figured in my decision to write this book.He said that I owed it to history to write aboutmy first-hand experience with the evolution of national service.If Ralph Waldo Emerson was right when he saidthat all history is subjective, that "there is properlyno his- tory; only biography," then a personalized approachto the evolution of national serviceover the last forty years would seem to be fitting. 1 In addition to you and the historians, some people may be interested innational service as a current policy issue. For them, this book may be useful since it deals with the many dimensions of national service, puts them into a temporal perspective,and contains enough references to people and to publications to permit a comprehensive look at national service. With the possibility of this broader readership, I decided to drop some of the family references and address the book to a wider audience. Still, the three of you have been foremost in my mind as I havewritten these pages. I had thought about writing a year-by-year account of national service ever since Bill Wirtz suggestedit, but there always seemed to be other things to do that would be of greater help in moving toward the right kind of national service. Times have changed. Interest in national service is on the rise and hundreds of people including many young people are promoting national service in a wide variety of ways.

  • First District Court of Appeal Mourns Passing of Former Chief Judge
    First District Court of Appeal Mourns Passing of the Honorable Anne Cawthon Booth The First District Court of Appeal mourns the loss of former First District Court of Appeal Chief Judge Anne Cawthon Booth, who passed away peacefully at her home in Tallahassee on June 14, 2021, at the age of 87. Judge Booth was appointed to the First District Court of Appeal by Governor Reubin Askew in 1978 and served there until her retirement in 2005. From 1985–1987, she served as Chief Judge. Judge Booth was the first woman to be appointed to an appellate court in Florida, and the first woman to serve as Chief Judge. Judge Booth earned her law degree with high honors from the University of Florida, where she graduated at the top of her class and was inducted into the Order of the Coif. She was the only female student in her class. Following graduation, she clerked for Chief Justice Joseph A. Boyd Jr. and Justice Millard Caldwell of the Florida Supreme Court. She then practiced as a civil litigator with her husband, Edgar Charles Booth, before being appointed to the First District Court of Appeal. “With a brilliant legal mind and indomitable spirit, Judge Booth was a trailblazer for women in law,” said Chief Judge Stephanie Ray. “We honor her commitment to justice and her extraordinary life and legacy.” The Court extends its deepest sympathy and condolences to Judge Booth’s family and friends. For more information on Judge Booth’s remarkable life, view her obituary here. .

  • District III News Special Edition Layout 1
    From the Desk of Commissioner Bobby B. DuBose DISTRICT III NEWS SPECIAL EDITION JUNE 2012 Dear District III, The City of Fort Lauderdale has lost a trailblazing pioneer in the person of Dr. Calvin H. Shirley. This year Dr. Shirley was celebrated as the City of Fort Lauderdale’s Honored Founder and was the special guest at the annual Walk Through History event that commemorated the medical history in the Northwest. Calvin H. Shirley was in a league that many aspire to. He walked tall and humbly yet left a mark that is undeniably etched in the framework and foundation of Fort Lauderdale. Dr. Calvin Hylton Shirley graduated from Booker T. Washington High School at the age of sixteen in Pensacola, Florida and matriculated at Florida A & M Uni- versity in Tallahassee, Florida where he obtained his pre-medical education ma- joring in Biology and a double minor in Chemistry and Education. During these undergraduate years, he played trumpet in the College Marching Band, Sym- phonic, Jazz and Dance Orchestras. This afforded him a full music scholarship which helped to pay his tuition and living expenses. Drafted into the United States Navy after the completion of his college career and during World War II, Dr. Shirley served his country as a Hospital Corpsman in the Asiatic Pacific Theater of War. Following an Honorable Discharge from the Navy, Dr. Shirley enrolled in the Boston College of Physicians & Surgeons in Boston, Massachusetts graduating Summa Cum Laude. He completed his Internship and Residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at Boston City Hospital and returned to Florida in 1949 to commence his medical practice.

  • John J. Marchi Papers
    John J. Marchi Papers PM-1 Volume: 65 linear feet • Biographical Note • Chronology • Scope and Content • Series Descriptions • Box & Folder List Biographical Note John J. Marchi, the son of Louis and Alina Marchi, was born on May 20, 1921, in Staten Island, New York. He graduated from Manhattan College with first honors in 1942, later receiving a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of Law and Doctor of Judicial Science from Brooklyn Law School in 1953. He engaged in the general practice of law with offices on Staten Island and has lectured extensively to Italian jurists at the request of the State Department. Marchi served in the Coast Guard and Navy during World War II and was on combat duty in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres of war. Marchi also served as a Commander in the Active Reserve after the war, retiring from the service in 1982. John J. Marchi was first elected to the New York State Senate in the 1956 General Election. As a Senator, he quickly rose to influential Senate positions through the chairmanship of many standing and joint committees, including Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on the City of New York. In 1966, he was elected as a Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and chaired the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitutional Issues. That same year, Senator Marchi was named Chairman of the New York State Joint Legislative Committee on Interstate Cooperation, the oldest joint legislative committee in the Legislature. Other senior state government leadership positions followed, and this focus on state government relations and the City of New York permeated Senator Marchi’s career for the next few decades.

  • The Ideal America(N): Dwight Eisenhower's Elusive Search
    The Ideal America(n): Dwight Eisenhower’s Elusive Search by Lisa Couacaud BA (Hons.) Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University March 2018 Acknowledgements It is merely to state the facts as they are when I write that without the financial support of the Australian Postgraduate Award scholarship these acknowledgements would have gone unwritten, for this thesis would simply not exist. I remain indebted to Deakin University for seeing the value in this work of American history. I am grateful also for the research and conference grants Deakin makes available to their postgraduate students. The funds provided enabled me to travel to Abilene, Kansas, and conduct invaluable archival research in the Eisenhower Presidential Library. I admit to feeling like a “proper” historian only after I had sifted through scores of original documents from Eisenhower’s presidential years. I was fortunate also to visit the Library of Congress in Washington, DC, and the Columbia University Oral History Archives in New York. Today, a little more than three years after embarking upon this project, my commitment to this thesis and my belief that this work is worthy of the investment Deakin has made, persists. This has been an exciting, terrifying, challenging, anxiety-ridden and nerve-wracking process. Yet, had I the opportunity to reset the clock, I would make always the same decision. It has been nothing short of a luxury to be able to devote myself to the task of unravelling Dwight Eisenhower’s idealist imaginings of the United States for these past three years.
