    Irwin 1 Interview of Debbie Greenberg Irwin, class of 1979 Interviewer: Phyllis Santry, class of 1966 Date: June 9, 2014 Location: New York, NY Interview transcribed by Daniel Putnam, class of 2015 Note: From the start of the interview through 7:30, there is significant amount of background noise. PHYLLIS SANTRY: This is Phyllis Santry, I’m talking to Debbie Irwin in New York City on June 9th, 2014—part of the Oral History Project of the Pembroke Center Associates. Debbie, I’m sure you took a look at some of these questions—it’s basically divided into three sections: your background, your experience at Brown, and then your eXperiences going forward. So we have a few sample questions that might get the ball rolling here, whatever you think is important to focus on, of course, is up to you. Could you tell me a little bit about your family and your background? DEBBIE IRWIN: Sure. I don’t recall actually if you said my name—I’m Debbie Irwin. SANTRY: Oh, did I not say that? Oh dear. [laughter] IRWIN: You may have, I’m a little distracted by the noise in the background, and I hope that it’s not a problem for the recording… So, I grew up in Chicago, and my father was a professor of Entomology at the University of Illinois. And my mom was and is a family therapist. We did a lot of traveling abroad because my father won a Fulbright, twice, to study wherever he wanted. So we went to Rome and spent a year there.

  • Beards in the Breeze NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Beards in the Breeze A New Orleans teenager in 1960 could have tuned his radio to WTIX, 1060 AM, and listened to this tune as a “name it and claim it” selection. Or he may have caught it on WNNR (pronounced WNNR- ruh) 990, “The Center Aisle of Your Radio Dial” or on WTIX, “The Mighty 690.” The song “New Orleans” was a top-ten hit that year for Gary U.S. Bonds, reaching #6 on Billboard, and recorded locally by “Big Boy” Myles on the Ace label: “Come on take a stroll down to Basin Street And listen to the music with the Dixieland beat. The magnolia blossoms fill the air And if you ain't been to heaven, then you ain't been there. French moss hangin' from a big oak tree, Down the Mississippi down in New Orleans.” Gary U.S. Bonds and his 1960 hit recording, “New Orleans” “French moss” was easier to work into the rhyme scheme than the usual name “Spanish moss”. But it is neither French, nor Spanish, nor is it a moss. “Spanish moss” is Tillandsia usneoides, but this is a misnomer since it is not a bryophyte, or true moss. True moss is any of various green, usually small, nonvascular plants of the class Musci of the division Bryophyta. The word moss comes from the Middle English, from Old English mos, meaning bog, from Medieval Latin mossa, moss (of Germanic origin). Sphagnum is a genus of numerous species of mosses commonly called peat moss, due to its prevalence in peat bogs.

  • Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S
    Swimming and Diving DIVISION I MEN’S Highlights Michigan wins fi rst championship since 1995, 12th overall: — When Michigan’s Bruno Ortiz pulled himself out of the water after swimming the anchor leg in the 400- yard freestyle relay at the 2013 Division I Men’s Swimming and Diving Championships, the singing started. “Hail to the Victors” echoed around the Indiana University Natatorium at IUPUI March 30, beginning with two Michigan spectator sections on one side of the building and carrying over to the Michigan bench area on the pool deck. The Wolverines did not win the 400 free relay; they fi nished second. But it didn’t matter. Michigan had wrapped up its fi rst national team title since 1995 long before that fi nal relay event. It was the 12th national title for Michigan, and meant it was no longer tied with Ohio State for the overall lead in Division I men’s titles. “This morning, we just kind of let our passion drive us. And that was it,” said Connor Jaeger, who began Michigan’s title drive on the fi nal night of the three-day meet with a victory in the 1,650-yard freestyle. He also won the 500 free in the meet’s fi rst individual race. Michigan’s victory halted a two-year title run by California, which fi nished second. “We started four years ago working on this,” said Michigan’s fi fth-year coach Mike Bottom. “You do it one day at a time; you do it one student-athlete at a time.

Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduates (Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian immigrant). The couple decided not to keep the baby, and for the first few years of his life, Steve Jobs lived with an adoptive family. There, his adoptive father taught him about electronics and computer chips in their garage. In school, we was often so bored that the teacher had to bribe him to get work done. Regardless of that, the school supervisors believed Steve should start high school when he went into fourth grade, an idea which his parents refused. In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computer, a company that would shape the world we live in today.
