  • October, 1995 Dear Club Members, Welcome to Our Fourth and Final
    October, 1995 Dear Club Members, Welcome to our fourth and final newsletter for this year. This is a special issue because of the generosity of club member and military artist, Donald D. Moore. He is the talented individual who designed the Audie silhouettes for our letterhead and club envelopes. Don also created and supplied at his expense, for the club and its members, a color laser print of Audie, which is suitable for framing. He also graciously donated the 9 x 12” brown envelopes to avoid having the prints folded. For those members desiring other Audie Murphy prints and lithographs by Don, he may be contacted at 2501 South W. S. Young Drive - Suite 306, Killeen, Texas 76542 or by phone at (817) 554-8008. We are most indebted to Don for his contributions and for his conscientious efforts for the continued success of the club. (Submitted by Stan Smith) ********************************************************************* The Hunt County Commissioners Court agreed to name a stretch of a local highway in honor of Audie Murphy. The Commissioners unanimously passed a resolution in favor of designating that portion of Highway 69 from the north Greenville city limits to the Hunt/Fannin County Line as the Audie Murphy Memorial Highway. Plaques will be created for placement at each end of the proposed highway. This tribute to Hunt County’s most famous citizen will coincide with the county’s 150th anniversary celebration next year.

  • The Wisconsin Idea: the Vision That Made Wisconsin Famous
    1 “Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers” --Daniel Boorstin, historian and Librarian of Congress The Wisconsin Idea: The Vision that Made Wisconsin Famous Introduction To the practitioners who comprise UW-Madison’s Community Partnerships and Outreach (CPO) Staff Network, the Wisconsin Idea is at the heart of their day-to-day work with communities in Wisconsin and beyond. But the original meaning of the Wisconsin Idea has faded over time, replaced by a generic public service mandate. (1) “The Boundaries of the University are the Boundaries of the State” The “Year of the Wisconsin Idea” offers us an opportunity to reflect on how the Wisconsin Idea guides our practice. We chose to explore the history of the emergence of the Wisconsin Idea in an attempt to renew and clarify our vision for why and how we engage with the public to address pressing issues. It turns out that the history of the University’s engagement with the State offers much more relevant guidance than we would have imagined. The values that drove the founders of the WI Idea—truth, self- governance, egalitarianism, integrity, trust and social capital—are the same values that represent effective, democratic partnerships today. It’s evident in our practice, and now it’s evident in our history as well, thanks to the work of Gwen Drury, Ph.D. student in Educational Policy and Leadership Analysis at UW-Madison. The rich history she details here brings us closer to our best practices—equitable, reciprocal engagement in which knowledge is co-created by the University and communities working together on issues that matter to all of us.

    DIZIONARIO DEI FILM WESTERN A cura di Mario Raciti Fonti Dizionario Morandini 2008 Mymovies.it Film.tv.it Dedicato agli amici di Farwest.it A Accidenti, che ospitalità! Our Hospitality USA 1923 REGIA: Buster Keaton, John G. Blystone ATTORI: Buster Keaton, Natalie Talmadge, Joe Roberts * Una faida tra le famiglie Canfield e McKay funge da prologo. Allevato a New York da una zia, Will McKay torna dopo vent'anni al paese natale del West dove i Canfield tentano di ucciderlo. Finché è sotto il loro tetto, però, non possono farlo. E lui sposa una di loro. 2o film lungo di Keaton e uno dei suoi capolavori. È un western nel quale il comico non nasce dalla parodia ma dalla incongruità del personaggio Keaton mentre tutti gli altri sono costruiti secondo gli schemi classici e si comportano come tali. È una rivisitazione straniata che s'impernia, come il solito, sullo spostamento delle funzioni degli oggetti, sull'altalena tra sembrare ed essere. DURATA: 74' FOTOGRAFIA: BN Acquasanta Joe It. 1971 REGIA: Mario Gariazzo ATTORI: Lincoln Tate, Ty Hardin, Silvia Monelli * Dopo la guerra di secessione, in un improbabile West trovano posto la banda del cannone, un prete che fabbrica acquavite, avventurieri e tradimenti. Western povero di tutto. DURATA: 97' Adios Gringo It. 1965 REGIA: George Finley (> Giorgio Stegani) ATTORI: Giuliano Gemma, Evelyn Stewart, Robert Camardiel * Ricercato salva fanciulla da morte sicura, sgomina banda di prepotenti e prosegue con la bella per dimostrare la sua innocenza. George Finley (Giorgio Stegani) ha confezionato un discreto western all'italiana con un Gemma che fa il “buono” prima di imparare a recitare.

His facility for conferring a measure of coherence and concision upon my materials eliminated needless obscurity at many points. Dr. Sutton's inde­ fatigable questioning contributed significantly to whatever merit this writing may possess; of course whatever defects remain are not his responsibility. I should also like to express my gratitude to the staff of The Ohio State University Libraries for their interest and cooperation in locating sources that otherwise would not have been available to me. My thanks are due also to Professors Everett J. Kircher and Bernard Me hi who were kind enough to serve on the reading and examining committees for this dissertation. Their teaching and easy camradery have been an inspiration to me and worthy of emulation in years to come. I gratefully acknowledge the clerical assistance of Mrs. Louise F.
