Sorting through the impersonal black boxes, the author uncovered an intriguing array of letters, memorabilia, documents, and photographs pertaining to the life of the ToeWater son, Frederick Robert. Gradually these fragments from the past fell into place, like pieces of a puzzle, to reveal the fascinating story of a young man whose life began with great hope and promise but ended tragically and prematurely in the cataclysm of World War II.

  • Economic Impact Analysis of Atterbury-Muscatatuck
    Economic Impact Analysis of Atterbury-Muscatatuck V600 CAPSTONE REPORT INDIANA UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS APRIL 24, 2013 1 Executive Summary Atterbury-Muscatatuck serves a fundamental purpose in the State of Indiana. Established in 1942 in parts of Bartholomew, Brown, and Johnson counties, Camp Atterbury has proven itself as one of the premier military training and mobilization sites in the nation. The Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Jennings County supplements an advanced operating environment with unique military facilities and infrastructure. Together, Atterbury-Muscatatuck has a vision to provide to the nation the most realistic, fiscally responsible, contemporary operating environment possible in which to mobilize and train the whole of government team to accomplish missions directed towards protecting the homeland and winning the peace; and support the developmental testing and evaluation of technologies that support those missions. Anecdotal evidence suggested that the presence of Atterbury-Muscatatuck in the local area provides many high quality jobs and supports many local businesses with substantial spending related to post operations. This study has confirmed and quantified the direct impact of these operations, and for the first time, provides an understanding of how spending at Atterbury-Muscatatuck ripples through the economy. These ripple effects, explained in more detail below, create wealth and jobs in the region and State. We found that the post is directly responsible for 2,902 jobs in the region. The post is indirectly, through relationships with suppliers and supporting industries, responsible for 143 additional jobs throughout the remainder of the State. Lastly, through induced effects, or spending of households from direct employment, the post supports an additional 1,131 jobs in the State of Indiana, for a total employment impact of 4,176 jobs.

We discussed the effect of the pandemic on the Convention. Our main concern was the city, county, state and federal government regulation of the pandemic. The hotel contract was revised last April. The date was moved from the first week of August to the second week of August. (August 11-14, 2021). We did reserved the hotel date from August 8- 15, 2021 so if anyone wished to arrive early would receive the hotel convention room price. We have a $7,000 deposit with the hotel and we will lose it if we don’t host the convention unless the government shuts down the city again. The hotel is willing to work with us and not hold us to the attendance count on the contract. What does that mean? It means we need to host the convention and there is no penalty for having less attendance that what is stated in the revised contract.
