  • Meeting 2008
    The Meeting of the Famous Masons (A bit of Imagination is required) INSTALLATION NIGHT AT THE CELESTIAL LODGE As we are all well aware, and as is pointed out in the North East Angle Lecture in the Canadian Rite Ritual, it cannot be denied that we always had many members of rank and affluence. Over the centuries many well known men have been members of our Noble Craft. For a few moments, please allow your imaginations to run wild and consider what may take place at the Installation of The Celestial Lodge, otherwise known as the Grand Lodge Above. Even though it was late fall, there was a warm breeze blowing and the sun was setting behind the Lodge Hall. Gathered in the parking lot filled with their works were Bros Henry Ford, Ransom Olds, Walter Chrysler, John Willys and Andre Citroen. The only vehicle missing was Bro Hart Massey's tractor. Greeting members in the entrance hall was Bro Cliff Arquette of Charley Weaver fame and Bro Ed Wynn. In the boardroom, a group of senior DeMolays were gathered including Bros Walter Disney, Chet Huntley, Wendell Corey, Van Johnson, Robert Cummings, John Steinbeck, Fred McMurray and John Cameron Swayze. King Gillette, razor in hand, passed the lodge caretaker who was having a minor problem with his vacuum cleaner, which was quickly cleared up with the help of its inventor, Bro Frank Hoover, while at the other end of the hallway Bros Emmett Kelly, Clyde Beatty and all seven of the Ringling Bros were discussing the Shrine Circus. Taking a quick look into the Banquet Hall, Bros John Molson, Frederick Pabst and Joseph Schlitz were busy rolling in some kegs of beer for Bros Sam Bronfman, late President of Seagrams Distillers, who was setting up the bar for the Festive Board to follow the Ceremony.

  • Library Keynote Speech- June 16,2012
    1. Library Keynote Speech- June 16,2012 When LibraryTrustee Mick Ruddasked me ifI would give the keynote speech on this auspicious occasion, I promised him that it would not exceed Gov- ernor Everett’s two-hour oration at Gettysburg or be as brief as Lincoln’s fifteen- minute address. That leaves me with about one hour and 7 minutes at the most. I will not fret the audience at the outset with such a threat of prolonged dis- course;however, I do have a lot to say about this beautiful and remarkable building being dedicated today as the Provincetown Public Library. Doubtless, you already know the salient facts about this building’s history, but I would I would like to ask you to be a little patient as I walk you through a retrospect of what it was and what it has, by degrees, became, hand in hand with many of those of the past and pre- sent who have enabled us to arrive, through their belief, dedication and sacrifice at the event we are celebrating today. Please recall that the first Methodists in Provincetown were not exactly welcomed by the community in the early 19th century, especially by the Congrega- tionalists, but their number vastly increased between 1795, when their first church was built, and 1860 when the Center Methodist Episcopal Church was constructed. At the time the church was reputed to be the largest church of Methodist denomi- nation in America rising to a height of 162 feet. The spire itself was approximately 62 feet but was dismantled after the Portland Gale by local carpenter Irving Free- man because of its instability The great church soon became a central magnet for a growing population of parishioners with its spacious second floor sanctuary and mezzanine balconies.

    winter 2020 Save the Date June 19–September 20, 2020 Strandbeests: Theo Jansen's Fantastical Beach Creatures Theo Jansen, Animaris Mulus, 2017, Courtesy of Theo Jansen, Photo by Alexander Schlichter Collaboratively organized by Museum Services, LLC and Theo Jansen Building the Collection One of the cornerstones of excellence at the Chrysler Museum of Art is the outstanding collection. We pride ourselves on the depth and quality of to Tell New Stories our holdings in European and American painting and sculpture as well as comprehensive collections of photography and glass. We have fine selections from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Assyria, and pre-colonial Latin America as well representative works from Asia and Africa. These marvelous pieces allow us to appreciate the breadth of human creativity and educate our visitors about the cultures of other times and places. As proud as we are of our masterpieces, we recognize that there are more stories to tell. The collection was largely formed by the interests of Jean and Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. and a few trusted advisors and dealers in the third quarter of the twentieth century. Today, we seek to build on the strengths of the collection but also explore new areas and keep the Museum at the forefront of the field. Scholars have reassessed the traditional history of art, frequently bringing attention to the contributions of women and people of color as well the broad geographic range of artistic production. As a result, the Chrysler seeks to build the collection to tell a fuller story. Last year, the Chrysler purchased a Besamim—a very fine spice box that may have been used as part of the Sabbath ceremony.

  • The Meecheegander Missives
    The Meecheegander Missives: Information on Michigan and Detroit to Prepare Information and Referral Professionals for the 2011 AIRS Conference in the ‘D’ June 5 – 8, 2011 The Meecheegander Missives.doc i The original posts to the AIRS Networker listserve were made daily from April 10, 2011 to June 5, 2011. During June, July, and August, the posts were collected into a single document, corrected when necessary, reformatted, garnished with illustrations pirated from the Internet, and indexed. Final edits were made August 10, 2011. The Meecheegander Missives.doc ii Introduction When it was announced that the 2011 Annual Training and Education Conference of the Alliance of Information and Referral Systems (AIRS) was coming to Michigan, those of us on the board of the local affiliate, MI-AIRS, knew we had our work cut out for us. With the help of Sharon Galler (who has coordinated AIRS Conferences from coast to coast), we divvied up assignments and set to work. I volunteered to write an FAQ for the Conference (a copy of which can be found at the back of this document) to be posted on the MI-AIRS Web site. And I also impetuously volunteered to contribute daily postings promoting the conference to the AIRS Networker , the listserv that’s followed by most people in the profession of community information and referral. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I enjoy writing, and how much work could it take—15 or 20 minutes a day or so? WRONG. It wound up taking a lot more time and effort than I had anticipated.

  • Chapter Six – Trouble and Triumph in the Thirties
    Chapter Six – Trouble and Triumph in the Thirties Chrysler Corporation has pioneered many of the fundamental and lasting engineering advances in automobile design and construction in the last ten years. Its newest development, the Airflow design of 1934 Chrysler and DeSoto models, has already met with an enthusiastic public response. —Ninth Annual Report of Chrysler Corporation, Year Ended December 31, 1933. February 9, 1934. For the Chrysler Corporation, the years from 1934 through 1940 were more traumatic and troubled than the early Depression years. Three events clouded the exuberance the Company otherwise evidenced with the success of the Plymouth, which was so handily helping it to survive the Great Depression. These were the introduction of the Airflow, the struggles accompanying the birth of the United Auto Workers and the retirement and death of Walter P. Chrysler. The most celebrated of the three was the serious miscalculation called the Airflow. Certainly most accounts of the Company’s fortunes in the mid-1930s center around Chrysler’s introduction of this revolutionary car in 1934 in its Chrysler and DeSoto lines. Walter Chrysler, the engineering trio of Zeder-Skelton-Breer and most of the Company’s top executives believed that the Airflow would make Chrysler the industry leader, surpassing not only Ford, which it had already done, but also General Motors. Instead, the Airflow models were a huge sales disappointment, and the Airflow could well have sent the Company to its grave between 1934 and 1937, just when the rest of the auto industry was enjoying an economic recovery. The second disruption in Chrysler’s operations came in 1937, when its hourly employees organized under the banner of the United Automobile Workers (UAW)-CIO and won a contract with the automaker.

Although his many real faults would later come to be widely perceived as well, Shockley was viewed as a genius by the scientific community of his day. In the 1940s, while employed at what was then AT&T Corporation’s Bell Laboratories in New Jersey, Shockley had helped invent the transistor, a feat for which he shared a Nobel Prize in 1956. But Shockley’s contribution to his time went even beyond his scientific achievements. To commercial- ize his world-altering invention, which made possible everything from the portable radio to the personal computer, Shockley left AT&T the year he got his prize and announced the founding of Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories. In a move whose far-reaching consequences neither Shockley nor anyone else could have predicted, he located his new firm not in some established manufacturing area along the northeast corri- dor, but in faraway Mountain View, California, next door to his na- tive Palo Alto. The decision turned out to be an unparalleled stroke of good fortune for the area. Although Shockley chose the location in part to be near his mother, cementing the deal was the fact that nearby Stanford University was offering space in an industrial park it had created to lure electronics companies to the area.
