  • September 2019 Commodore Phil Davies
    September 2019 Commodore Phil Davies [email protected] It seems hard to believe that September is already upon us, hopefully you have all enjoyed the summer and perhaps more importantly had time to get out on the water and visit the club. At this point the club is gearing up for the Annual meeting, our nominations committee is concluding its work and our Board will review the 2020 budget at our September Board meeting. Over the summer there have been many events to celebrate and our members have been active in Racing, Cruising & Social activities. We kicked off the summer on July 4th with the christening of our new lawn area and July 4th BBQ. Almost 100 members attended this event and around 20 members continued the celebrations at the South Beach Cruise Out. Thanks go out to all the members who supported our club through the various events and recognition to those who committed their time and energies to organizing. During the Summer, Alameda Police made a visit to our docks. Overall, the visit was positive, though several boats with expired CF numbers were cited. As we look to enhance the security of our facility, we will likely have more visits so please look to make them welcome if you meet the Police, USCG or other agencies on our dock. In relation to USCG, we are also aware that they have been boarding boats in the estuary to check safety equipment and documentation. It’s end of season sale time at many chandlers so now may be a good time to check your equipment! Our September Board meeting has been brought forward to September 5th at 6pm, this to accommodate the delta Cruise Out and various travel commitments.

  • Interviewee: Marvin J. Perrett, USCGR World War II U
    U.S. Coast Guard Oral History Program Interviewee: Marvin J. Perrett, USCGR World War II U. S. Coast Guard Veteran Interviewer: Scott Price, Deputy Historian Date of Interview: 18 June 2003 Place: U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D.C. Marvin Perrett joined the U.S. Coast Guard during World War II and served aboard the Coast Guard-manned attack transport USS Bayfield (APA-33) as a coxswain of one of the Bayfield's landing craft. He was a veteran of the invasions of Normandy, Southern France, Iwo Jima and Okinawa and he even survived the "Exercise Tiger" debacle prior to the Normandy invasion. Although each of these events has received extensive coverage, his story, and the story of the thousands of young men who manned the boats that landed troops on enemy beaches, is little- known. It seems that the men who transported the troops to the beach were often been overlooked by historians, writers, and film producers. Yet, as Mr. Perret points out, without them, how would any invasion have happened? 1 Mr. Perrett's oral history is comprehensive. He describes his decision to join the Coast Guard and he then delves into the extensive training he received and how he was picked to be the sailor in charge of a landing craft. He also describes, in detail, this craft he sailed through enemy fire during the invasions he took part in. The boat he commanded was the ubiquitous LCVP, or "Landing Craft, Vehicle / Personnel. It was made primarily of wood by the famous company Higgins Industries in New Orleans.

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.

  • The Lady of Little Fishing CONSTANCE FENIMORE WOOLSON
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Constance Fenimore Woolson: Collected Stories (LOA, 2020), pages 118–39. First published in the September 1874 issue of The Atlantic Monthly and subsequently reprinted in Castle Nowhere: Lake-Country Sketches (1875). The Lady of Little Fishing CONSTANCE FENIMORE WOOLSON t was an island in Lake Superior . I I beached my canoe there about four o’clock in the af- ternoon, for the wind was against me and a high sea running . The late summer of 1850, and I was coasting along the south shore of the great lake, hunting, fishing, and camping on the beach, under the delusion that in that way I was living “close to the great heart of nature,” — whatever that may mean . Lord Bacon got up the phrase; I suppose he knew . Pulling the boat high and dry on the sand with the comfortable reflection that here were no tides to disturb her with their goings- out and comings- in, I strolled through the woods on a tour of explo- ration, expecting to find bluebells, Indian pipes, juniper rings, perhaps a few agates along-shore, possibly a bird or two for company . I found a town . It was deserted; but none the less a town, with three streets, residences, a meeting- house, gardens, a little park, and an at- tempt at a fountain . Ruins are rare in the New World; I took off my hat . “Hail, homes of the past!” I said . (I cultivated the habit of thinking aloud when I was living close to the great heart of nature .) “A human voice resounds through your arches” (there were no arches, — logs won’t arch; but never mind) “once more, a human hand touches your venerable walls, a human foot presses your deserted hearth- stones ”.

  • Andy's Lost ... Or, Sharing and Survival
    Andy's Lost ... Or, Sharing and Survival By Don Kissil Published in NEW JERSEY FOLKLIFE 15 (1990) SEVERAL YEARS AGO, an oil spill in Prince William Sound, Alaska produced an environmental disaster larger than the state of Rhode Island. Since then angry, blame- seeking accusation, denial and litigation continue as do thankless, unrewarding years of clean-up work. The lonely weeping of everyone and everything that was affected stills for a while only to grow louder again as the media manipulates us. The sanctimonious environmentalists' cry of, "We told you so, even before you built the pipeline ... " often all but drowns out the whimper of the locals who continue to face spiritual as well as financial bankruptcy. There is much unharnessed energy up there in Alaska, and often more heat than light is generated, but I wish to tell you another type of Alaska story. Some might call it a religious story, while others would deny that, but no matter what you call it, you can be certain .. .it's all true. Andy is the son of a New Jersey Quaker family who, at least to us, were good Friends as well as good friends. As a recent college graduate, Andy went off to teach High School to the Siberian Yupik speaking Eskimo people in Alaska. He chose to live in a village called Gambell, on St. Lawrence Island which is about 100 miles long by 30 miles wide and lies in the Bering Straits of the Bering Sea. Gambell (pop. about 400) is geographically about 200 miles west of Nome, Alaska and about the same distance south of the Arctic Circle.
