Licata, associate dean for academic affairs at Rochester Institute of Technology/National Technical Institute for the Deaf, is an AAHE senior asso- ciate with its New Pathways project "Academic Careers for the Next Century: From Inquiry to Practice." In that role, she provides leadership and direction for all activities related to post-tenure review in particular, coordinating the post- tenure review minigrant program "Projects With Promise" and serving as liai- son to the campus/system projects. Licata has investigated post-tenure faculty evaluation practices since 1984, and authored one of the first national reports on the topic: Post-Tenure Faculty Evaluation: Threat or Opportunity? (a 1986 ASHE- ERIC Higher Education Report). During 1998-2001 she worked with the Harvard Project on Faculty Appointments as an adviser and analyst on post- tenure review. Joseph C.

REIMANN F572 .N8R5 Copy 2 Copyright 1951 Lewis C. Reimann This book was especially in a limited Edition for the Iron Ore Centennial by Lewis C. Reimann 2504 Brockman Boulevard Ann Arbor, Michigan Additional copies may be obtained by writing to the above address. 51-8574 Lithoprinted in U.S.A. EDWARDS BROTHERS, INC. ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 1951 A 60918 iii DEDICATION This factual account of my boyhood days in Iron River, Michigan, is dedicated to my loving Mother who bore me, nursed me, cared for me, guided me through my youth and believed in me. To her I owe all that I am and all that I aspire to be. It was she who bore the burden of a large family, suffered when we were hurt, comforted us in our disappointments, deprived herself so we might have more, and saw her hopes and dreams come true when her children fulfilled her fondest hopes. My sainted Mother, my guide and inspiration. v Between the iron and the pine; a biography of a pioneer family and a pioneer town http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.08574 Library of Congress FOREWORD When a Chicago financier was invited in the early Eighties to invest his money in the infant iron mining and lumber industries of Iron County of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, he sniffed: “Iron County? Hell, it's too far away from anywhere to ever amount to anything!” Little did this man of money expect that the giant white pine of that virgin land would go into the building of most of the homes of his native Chicago and other thriving young cities of the middle west.

  • William Harrington Or Herrington
    AND OF William Harrington or Herrington 1718-1794 Various branches of the descendants of Osulf and his son, Robert de Haverington (Harrington), hav-e used this Norman shield with the interiaced fret design, which is identical with those found in ancient Viking carvings, add.ing their own distinctive crests or quarterings above the shield. Harington was the usual spelling of the family name during the earlier period in England. FOREWORD Materiai for this work has been taken from census, surrogate and land records, graves and burial records, newspapers, local histories, gazetteers and maps. The greatest thanks, however, are to be given to the many mem­ bers of the family and others who gave information and made available their family and Bible records. Without their help, this project would have been impossible to accompJish. · I wish to express my deep appreciation to John B. Rogerson of 31 Salt­ erbeck Road, Salterbeck, Workington, Cumberland, England. His home is at the edge of the Town of Harrington and he has sent a large amount of in­ teresting information concerning the Town and the early Harriogtons there. He is a member of the Old Harrington Parish Church about which more will be told later. I regret that space is not sufficient to allow the inclusion of more of the material he has sent me. The brief history of the family in England which follows this foreword is based on his material and on a recent book, THE HARINGTON FAMILY by Ian Grimble, published in Great Britain. C. Roy Hudleston, Bursar of Hatfield College, Durham University, Durham, England, who is of Harrington descent, .contributed helpful information and suggested consulting the REGISTER OF ST.

  • National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet
    NPS Form 10-900-a OMB Approval No. 1024-0018 (8-86) United States Department of the Interior National Park Service National Register of Historic Places Continuation Sheet Property name Minute Man National Historical Park Section number 7 Page 1 SUMMARY Minute Man National Historical Park (NHP) was created by an act of Congress on September 21, 1959 for the purpose of preserving the Lexington and Concord Battlefield and its contributing resources “in the public interest as prime examples of the Nation’s historical heritage” (Public Law 86-321). Since that time, the primary mission of the park has been to approximate the cultural environment that existed in 1775 and preserve and interpret individual resources that contribute to understanding the events of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. As part of this mission, the National Park Service has removed more than 200 nineteenth and twentieth century buildings and structures in an attempt to recreate the open, agricultural appearance that the area had at the time of the battle. The three units of Minute Man NHP — North Bridge, Wayside, and Battle Road — were administratively listed in the National Register of Historic Places as National Historic Landmark districts in 1966, but no list of contributing and non-contributing resources within the park was included. The goals of this documentation are to define all the National Register areas of significance and criteria under which the park is eligible for listing and to provide an accurate accounting of contributing and non-contributing resources that will aid in the subsequent management of the park. The three discontiguous units of Minute Man NHP comprise an area of approximately 967 acres of land in the towns of Concord, Lincoln, and Lexington.
