Brooklyn, NY. Floyd aennett Field is historically significant as New York's first municipal airport. The Field was h~st to record-breaking pilots such as Wiley Post, Howard Hughes.

I The National Park Service determined in 1997 that it tN°uld be financially feasible for a concessionerto adaptively develop four of the Field'sihangars into a major family-oriented spons center that would be anchored by an ice skating facili~y. The business opportunity was announced in 1998, and received significant response~ In October 1998, the law that controls National Park SeT\,iceconcessions management was qhangedand caused the solicitation to be withdrawn until new regulations could be written, putilished and public comments considered.

Snack bar(s) will!be required to provide users adequatetime at the facility without having to leave for food service.1Applicants may elect to additionally propose a full service restaurant, but snack bars are required. Although feasibility was decided on the basis of ice spprts being the primary attraction the National Park Service will consider other options. Alliapplicants are required to submit pro fonnas that demonstrateeffective stabilization invest~ent and cost of adapting the hangars to a sports center. Assuming the successful offeror emplo)1san adequate replacement reserve, Leasehold SurrenderInterest (see the draft contract) prpvides significant protection for investment capital.

  • The Historical Significance of the Little House On
    - The Historical Significance of The Little House on the Prairie Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder An Honors Thesis (HONRS 499) by Elizabeth M. Irvine Dr. Raymond White Ball State University Muncie, Indiana April, 1994 May, 1994 PURPOSE OF THESIS ( . ... ~; - i This thesis is a discussion of the historical significance of the series of children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The purpose is to delve beyond the fact that the series was intended for children and look at the books topically. Topics analyzed include growing up in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, daily life, family ties, courtship, marriage, homesteading the American frontier, dangers of homesteading, building railroads, and education. A comparison will be drawn between Laura's descriptions and information found in outside sources in order to prove how historically accurate Laura's novels are. -.. - In reading about the frontier history of the United States, one notices the lack of women and children. It seems, through popular stereotyped images, that the West was only populated by Indians, cowboys, miners, and gunslingers. However, the simple reason why women and children are often left out of frontier history is because there were very few women and children on the frontier. Women and families were more often found on the agricultural frontier, which was not as far west as the mining camps and boom towns (Armitage and Jameson 4). It is this history, the history of husbands, wives, and families, that too often goes unnoticed and unrecognized. Many people are familiar with the battles between white soldiers and Indians. Textbooks relate information on the famous men who explored the West such as Lewis and Clark, Davy Crockett, zebulon Pike, and Daniel Boone.

Laura Ingalls (Friend of the Gray Family) By Wallace F. Gray Laura Ingalls (1901-1967) [note the date discrepancy] was a famous aviator, closely associated with Lockheed Aircraft and friend of our family. (Not to be confused with the famous writer, Laura Ingalls Wilder.) As a child I knew her. She came to our house in Santa Monica, California, for dinner on occasion. She referred to my father, Firman C. Gray, as Alphonso, named after a king, she said. At one of the dinners at our home she told us how she flew over the capitol (and/or the White House) at Washington, D.C. throwing out "America First" pamphlets. She was breaking the law by flying over that area and eventually got in trouble for it. (See http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/hargrave/ingalls.html) . The autograph reads: “To Wallace Gray with lots of good wishes, for lots of good things. From your friend, Laura Ingalls. February 8th, 1937.” Obituary from the Daily Review of Burbank, California, January 17, 1967: Laura Ingalls, famed early aviatrix, dies Miss Laura Ingalls, who became the first flyer to complete a solo flight around the South American continent in 1934, died recently January 10, 1967 [discrepancy] in Burbank.
