  • The Tenth Edition of Our Newsletter
    Edition 10 Monday 25th May 2020 Welcome to the Tenth Edition of our Newsletter It’s been a funny week, weather-wise, we seem to be going from one extreme to the other. I blame my husband Tony , for creating a beautiful seating area at the top of our garden, his ‘solarium’ and of course, it’s not been sunny since! I have received a suggestion from a member that perhaps we should have a ‘letters to the editor’ page. Where you can give feedback on articles, comment, say what you like or don’t like or just let us know how you feel. This could hopefully create a discussion forum. Please let me know if you think this is a good idea. Send in any articles, jokes, interesting news or anything you might be of interest to other members – especially any tips on keeping busy or any community news. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has contributed to this issue. Please send any contributions to Karen: [email protected] 1 From our Chairperson, Franca Hello All So the Government is relaxing lockdown a bit on Thursday 28th May. Having listened to ‘The Plan’ I'm not seeing much change for me in Phase 1 at least. I still can't see my grandchildren as they are too young to understand social distancing. Other than that I'm not tempted to go and queue for hours at a garden centre and I have enough places to walk near my house. Meeting up with one other person outside but maintaining social distancing doesn't appeal to me.

Mr. Dutot predicted at the time that the mail would be brought from Easton on four-horse coaches, which prediction he lived to see fulfilled; and then again foretold its delivery in a railway coach, which became an established fact in the year 1857, sixteen years after his death. On the 22nd of January, 1854, a Presbyterian Church was organized at the Delaware Water Gap, to be called "the Church of the Mountain." The Rev. Horatio S. Howell was the first pastor and was greatly beloved by his people. He built the Glenwood House for a hoys' boarding-school in 1854-55. William and Clayton McMichael, of Philadelphia; Judge John N. Stewart, of Trenton and Hon. John B. Storm, of Stroudsburg, were among the pupils at this "Classical School." The church edifice was commenced in July, 1853, and was dedicated on the 29th of August, 1854. The con- gregation are greatly indebted to Mrs. Caroline E. G. Peale, a niece of Stephen Girard, to Dr. John Marshall Paul, of Belvidere and Matthew Baldwin, of Philadelphia, for their liberal assistance in erecting the church and in the deep interest manifested by them in the spiritual welfare of the community. Mr. Howell continued as pastor until March, 1862, when he was chosen chaplain of the Nineteenth Regiment, Penn- sylvania Volunteers and was killed by a rebel soldier, while attending to the sick and wounded at the hospital in Gettys- burg, July 1st, 1863.

    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.
