Reunions The 2002 New Orleans Reunion was a smashing success. The following coverage of the reunion has been supplied courtesy of Robin Chase (wife of Art Chase ’72) — Thanks Robin!! New Orleans, The BIG EASY, certainly lived up to its nickname - it was EASY to have a BIG time there in the French Quarter! The LCHS reunion was a huge success, and obvi- ously everyone who was there had a marvelous time! (As a spouse, I have to mention that everyone made me feel like a part of the group even though I never attended LCHS - what a terrific group of people you all are!) We had representatives from class of 66 through the class of 75 - a 10 year span of LCHS finest! The rowdiest group was the class of 73, and the ladies certainly made a fashion statement with those feather boas! Gigi Blount McGeehee 68 is the most incredible person, working so hard every moment to ensure that everyone had a great time while remaining gracious and making all of us feel so welcome. She managed to obtain the primo hospitality suite on the 2nd floor with the huge balcony at Bourbon and Bienville Streets. Thank you so much, Gigi, for everything! Truly the Hostess with the Mostest! And thanks also to her wonderful husband, Ramon, who was so great at everything from bartending to feeding beignets to the masses on Sunday morning. Friday night the reunion opened with a cocktail party in the Grand Ballroom South of the Royal Sonesta Hotel. The food was unbelievably good and there was plenty of it! A mind- blowing collection featuring shrimp, carved bourbon glazed ham, appetizers galore, and a dessert table you could gain 10 pounds just looking at! (Pralines were great!) The year- books came out and everyone got reacquainted. At 10pm the party moved up to the afore- mentioned hospitality suite to hang out on the balcony. Some brilliant person got beads and handed them out, affording hours of entertainment to all of us on the balcony. (Lots of Hey, weve got beads! Show us your ..... etc). Amazing what people will do for a string of plastic beads! Saturday night found everyone in the Bienville Suite for cocktails. The tables in the dining room were decorated in Mardi Gras theme with beads, throw cups & dubloons, and masks; very colorful and festive. Supper was prime rib with all the trimmings, served by our first class waiters (well never forget Steve the dancing head-waiter). The finale was the most divine chocolate cake with raspberry sauce - yumm! After dinner Brett Brunson 72, DJ of the night, cranked up the music and the dancing began. One of the highlights was a song celebrating the LCHS experiences written and performed by Dave Wilcoxson 70, which brought flashbacks and was enjoyed by all present (this should be stored on the Londoner site as an audio file for everybody to hear). The dancing went on till mid- night (Dancing Darryl and the Boa Babes - you rock!) when many moved back up to the hospitality suite for more bead tossing and Anatomy 101. Its been reported that the police were interested in the balcony gang - as everyone knows its not a great party till the police are involved, so the reunion officially qualifies! Sunday morning found people wandering back into the hospitality suite in search of cof- fee and beignets (picked up from Cafe du Monde by wonderful Ramon). We had a wicked rainstorm move through during the morning which gave Bourbon Street a much different and deserted look. Everyone was in good spirits in spite of the deficit of sleep - hugs, farewells, promises to keep in touch and see you at the next one, and the LCHS 2002 New Orleans Reunion was over. What a fabulous, fun weekend for everyone who at- tended! Also a big thanks you to J Mercer 66 and Rob Shanks 71 who donate their time and energy to maintain and update the websites for LCHS alumni. Look for all the photos at Londoncentral.org (Those looking for the photos (and there are hundreds of them) should go to http// londoncentral.org/reunionphotos_no-02.htm Thanks to J Mercer for all of his work getting the photos up!) Now, where and when will the next one be? I heard talk of San Antonio, Las Vegas, and San Diego and suggestions for 2004 & 2005. All sound good to me. Will let you know when I know. For those ‘73-‘75, Cindy Clements Hopkins ‘74 asked that I pass this on: “...am starting the process of organizing a 30 year reunion for the class of 1974 to be held in the summer of 2004 in Las Vegas. Maybe you can help put it on the LCHS website...don’t have any details yet but want people to start mentally planning. We also want to include 1973 & 75 grads. “ If you are interested, contact her at [email protected] Back Issues I know, the back issues of this newsletter were suppose to be scanned and up on the web site already. Well, my good intentions didn’t quite succeed but they are getting scanned now and should start being placed on the web site soon. Sad Farewells Harold Hubbard sent me a note to let us know that his wife Becky Hubbard, Class of ‘73, passed away on June 3rd, 2000. She suffered an aneurysm while recovering from surgery. Roy Bissett, Class of ’72 , was killed in an auto accident this past March. Jay Hicks attended the funeral. Jackie Czecha, wife of David Pedersen, Class of ’71 provided this note of Dave’ passing: David Lee Pedersen, Potomac Maryland, May 25, 2002. Dave passed away suddenly from injuries sustained in a car accident. Dave earned a BA at St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN, a MPA from Drake University. For the last twenty years he was a management consultant at Booz Allen & Hamilton in Washington, DC, where he specialized in health care and pharmaceutical IT systems. While at BAH, Dave earned their highest award, the Professional Excellence Award. He was also well known for mentoring consultants new to the firm. Dave loved music and played the cornet and trumpet. He was a member of the St. Olaf Band and the Rockville (Maryland) Concert Band along with his father and brother Mark. In addition to family and music, he loved trains and traveling. Dave is survived by his best friend and wife, Jackie Czecha; two children, Claire and Paul; two stepchil- dren; his parents Paul and Lilly Pedersen; two sisters, Judy Pedersen Bettinger and Sandy Walling; brother Mark Pedersen; parents-in-law; and many sisters & brothers-in-law, nieces, and nephews.

  • Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London
    Campaign Fact Book Former Whitechapel Bell Foundry Site Whitechapel, London Compiled January 2020 Whitechapel Bell Foundry: a matter of national importance This fact book has been compiled to capture the breadth of the campaign to save the site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry, which is currently threatened by a proposal for conversion into a boutique hotel. Re-Form Heritage; Factum Foundation; numerous community, heritage and bellringing organisations; and thousands of individuals have contributed to and driven this campaign, which is working to: reinstate modern and sustainable foundry activity on the site preserve and record heritage skills integrate new technologies with traditional foundry techniques maintain and build pride in Whitechapel’s bell founding heritage The site of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry is Britain’s oldest single-purpose industrial building where for generations bells such as Big Ben, the Liberty Bell, Bow Bells and many of the world’s great bells were made. Bells made in Whitechapel have become the voices of nations, marking the world’s celebrations and sorrows and representing principles of emancipation, freedom of expression and justice. As such these buildings and the uses that have for centuries gone on within them represent some of the most important intangible cultural heritage and are therefore of international significance. Once the use of the site as a foundry has gone it has gone forever. The potential impact of this loss has led to considerable concern and opposition being expressed on an unprecedented scale within the local area, nationally and, indeed, internationally. People from across the local community, London and the world have voiced their strong opposition to the developer’s plans and to the hotel use and wish for the foundry use to be retained.

Indeed, they do it so much better than real life, which is why we read them. Elizabeth Kent uncredited. The crime horrified all England and led to a national obsession with detection, ironically destroying, in the process, the career of perhaps the greatest detective in the land. Whicher finds the missing child at a refuge for fallen women run by Roman Catholic nuns which had taken her in. Before leaving, she had gone into the same outdoor privy to change into a boy's clothes, cropping her hair at the same time. When Whicher offers to help a country lady find her niece, he's drawn into a disturbing case of murder which brings him up against wealthy and powerful figures and throws him into conflict with his Murders were supposed to happen on the desperate streets of London, not in the bedrooms of well-tended rural children. Find out more. Stephen and an opportunistic thief are the main murder suspects but Stephen convinces Whicher that he was the intended victim as he was about to hear important news from his grandfather Joshua,now in an insane asylum.

  • The Blown Definitions: Towards a Poetics of the Multi-Vocal Poetic
    Kate Potts: 100 605046 PhD Thesis The Blown Definitions: Towards a Poetics of the Multi-Vocal Poetic Radio Play Kate Potts Royal Holloway, University of London Creative and Critical Writing (Poetry) PhD Thesis 1 Kate Potts: 100 605046 PhD Thesis Declaration of Authorship I Kate Potts hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: _____________________ 2 Kate Potts: 100 605046 PhD Thesis Abstract The introduction of radio broadcasting in the early twentieth century, at a time of rapid development in global communications and travel technologies, prompted a radical re- imagining of the poet – and poetry’s – role in this new public, communal space. This thesis seeks to explore and define, critically and creatively, the poetics of the multi-vocal poetic radio play, a sub-genre fundamentally shaped by this reconfiguration.1 The thesis examines the development, form, and functioning of the multi-vocal poetic radio play which, I argue, is a sub-genre distinct from both the prose radio play and single-voice works of radio poetry. This thesis proposes that the multi-vocal poetic radio play is a reworking of western oral poetry traditions – originating in the oral heroic epic as authoritative, mnemonic, pre- literate repository of collective cultural memory – in the context of the twentieth and twenty-first century’s increasingly globalised, pluralistic and documentary modes of representation.

    20/04/2018 Windrush scandal: Albert Thompson still in dark about cancer treatment despite May's promise | UK news | The Guardian Windrush scandal: Albert Thompson still in dark about cancer treatment despite May's promise Londoner still has not received any appointment date for radiotherapy – or an apology Amelia Gentleman Thu 19 Apr 2018 20.44 BST Albert Thompson, the Londoner whose case has come to epitomise the Windrush scandal, has spoken of his anguish as he remains uncertain about whether he is to get radiotherapy for his cancer a day after he heard Theresa May announce on television that he would “be receiving the treatment he needs”. As the fallout from the scandal continued to emerge, Thompson told the Guardian he was distressed to have no clarity, and upset that he had had no apology from the Royal Marsden hospital for the ongoing interruption to his cancer treatment. Thompson (not his real name) received a brief call on Wednesday night from a consultant at the Royal Marsden telling him that he would receive an appointment letter in “two or three weeks’ time,” and asking him in to come in so he could have some blood tests. He was despondent about the cursory nature of the contact. “He didn’t mention anything about radiotherapy,” Thompson said, noting that the hospital did not appear to be treating his case as particularly urgent. He remains concerned that despite the https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/apr/19/windrush-albert-thompson-cancer-treatment-theresa-may 1/3 20/04/2018 Windrush scandal: Albert Thompson still in dark about cancer treatment despite May's promise | UK news | The Guardian commitment from May that he was to receive treatment, the hospital seemed in no hurry to reschedule the 12-week series of daily radiotherapy sessions he was due to start last November, before he was told that he was not eligible for free treatment without proof that he was in the UK legally.

  • George Gorman (1888–1956)
    40 George Gorman (1888–1956) DEBORAH MACFARLANE George Gorman with his daughter Catherine (c.1931) INTRODUCTION The traitor, he knew what was going on all along and of course the Japanese would use him just as long as he was useful to them.(Margaret Robertson)1 As a propagandist for the Japanese during the inter-war years, George Gorman was a controversial member of the foreign-press network in China. Although born in England, he was often identi- fied as Irish-Canadian, a misnomer he seldom corrected. Antipathy to authority and a seemingly flexible morality often put him at odds with the British establishment. Curiously, the seeds of his support for Japan germinated in an unlikely time and place, 1920s Canada. Through his work on a Vancouver newspaper, George Gorman became acquainted with Japanese consul Isago Gomyo¯ 2 at a time of pronounced anti-Asian sentiment in Canada.

However, not everyone shared the same view.An editorial appeared in theVancouver Sun 20 December 1925: If there is such a thing as yellow peril, it is not so much the invasion of Canada by Oriental immigrants, as the inability of the Occidentals to keep up with the Orientals in point of industry,initiative and resource.3 Gorman concurred: setting the course for the future.
