  • Adonal Foyle Is Coming to the Lafayette Library
    LAMORINDA WEEKLY | Adonal Foyle is Coming to the Lafayette Library Published June 19th, 2013 Adonal Foyle is Coming to the Lafayette Library By Cathy Tyson Former basketball player and author Adonal Foyle is coming to the Lafayette Library to the first-ever authors and athletes special event from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 21. Locals may know him as a Warrior, but he is so much more - poet, philanthropist and motivational speaker. He'll be discussing his amazing journey as an NBA player, his life experiences and insight, as well as his new children's book, "Too Tall Foyle Finds His Game." Foyle was selected as the eighth pick in the 1997 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors and ultimately stayed with the team for 10 years. With the Warriors, he made a name for himself as a fan favorite. Following his decade on the "W's" he played briefly for the Orlando Magic and then the Memphis Grizzlies until he was sidelined by a knee injury and retired. Born in St. Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, Foyle was adopted at age 15 by Joan and Jay Mandle, professors at Colgate University, and graduated from Colgate magna cum laude with a history degree. In 2009 Foyle was inducted into the World Sports Humanitarian Hall of Fame due to his founding of the Kerosene Lamp Foundation that serves children, and Democracy Matters - a non-partisan student organization created to counteract political apathy on college campuses and examine campaign finance reform. He recently attended a Moraga Country Club fundraising golf event for his foundation, which supports a variety of activities using basketball as a catalyst to encourage education and health awareness among impoverished youth.

  • The History of Unions in the US Class 1: Origins
    A Tour of the US Service Academies Class 3: US Naval Academy Jim Dunphy [email protected] USNA History • Traditionally, naval officers served as midshipmen aboard naval vessels • These could be as young as 10 or as old as 40 History • West Point was founded in 1802, but no naval equivalent was considered for many years thereafter. • The catalyst for the USNA was the Somers affair Somers Affair • In 1842, Philip Spencer, the son of the Secretary of War, was serving aboard the USS Somers as a Midshipman • Finding out about a possible mutiny, he notified the purser Somers Affair • The rumor went up the chain to the ship’s Captain, Alexander McKenzie • He did not take any immediate action, but put both Spencer and the crew under surveillance • It was found that Spencer was having secret meetings with the crew and his diary had Greek symbols • This was probably because he was a member of a Greek fraternity at Union College before going to sea Somers Affair • Later, a mast failed and damaged some sails, a huge problem for a ship at sea • A number of thefts led to floggings • Captain McKenzie ordered his four officers and three senior midshipmen to investigate • They concluded that Spencer and two other crew members were planning to take over the ship • The same day the report was made, all three were hung and buried at sea Somers Affair • Spencer’s father, the Secretary of War, obviously had power over this issue • While a naval court martial exonerated Captain Mackenzie, the general public remained skeptical about the idea of midshipmen at sea
