    Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Army-Navy Game Special Enshrinement and New Museum Exhibit Hall of Fame Enshrinement As part of its 2017 Inductee Class the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame is honoring the Army- Navy Game with a Special Enshrinement. It is only the second such honor for an event, the first being The Penn Relays back in 2011. First contested in Philadelphia in 1899 at Franklin Field, the Army-Navy game has been held in the City of Brotherly Love 86 times. JFK/Municipal Stadium hosted the most, 41 times from 1936 through 1979. This year's game is Saturday, December 9 at Lincoln Financial Field. "Although the Army-Navy game is occasionally played elsewhere, it is most closely associated with Philadelphia," said Ken Avallon, Hall of Fame president. "With a tradition dating back over 100 years this Enshrinement honors the long-standing partnership between Army-Navy and the City of Brotherly Love." The Enshrinement is part of the Hall of Fame's 2017 Induction Ceremony, Thursday November 2 at the Hilton City Line Avenue in Philadelphia. Details are available at: http://phillyhall.org/2017. The Hall of Fame's 2017 Inductees will be announced Thursday June 15 at its annual Press Conference and Luncheon Army-Navy Museum Exhibit The new exhibit features artifacts from Army-Navy Games held in Philadelphia throughout the years, including programs, photographs, souvenirs, books and other memorabilia along with bricks from JFK/Municipal Stadium.

  • Summer 2015E Asonvolume 44S Number 2 a Note from the Executive Director
    SSummer 2015E ASONVolume 44S Number 2 A Note from the Executive Director PAUL W. MEYER, The F. Otto Haas Executive Director Flora of Pennsylvania: Taking Plant Science Research to the Next Level otanical and horticultural research were central to the vision of John and Lydia Morris as they planned the future of the institution we now know as the Morris Arboretum of the University Bof Pennsylvania. And, since 1933, Arboretum staff and students have focused on developing information and expertise on the native and naturalized plants of Pennsylvania. This work has resulted in a series of definitive publications including two editions of Plants of Pennsylvania, Trees of Photo: Nick Kelsh Pennsylvania, and most recently, Aquatic Plants of Pennsylvania. In 1980, the Arboretum assumed leadership in developing an electronic database for the Pennsylvania flora, and since then it has continued to build and expand the wealth of information included. Today, this database covers more than 3,000 taxa of plants and includes more than 400,000 records of plant occurrences, each based on a physical herbarium specimen. Information derived from the database informs teachers, students, landscape professionals, and natural lands managers, as well as amateur plant enthusiasts. Each year the database is augmented with new information resulting from extensive field work conducted throughout the Commonwealth. As an outcome of strategic planning, this work will continue, and the Morris Arboretum will build its expertise on Pennsylvania plants and develop recommendations for their protection and conservation. However, while science has moved forward, we currently do not have the laboratory equipment and supplies needed to conduct the tests and experiments which will answer critical questions related to understanding Pennsylvania plants, especially those which are rare, threatened or endangered.

That a city so rich in history continues to both celebrate and improve on its legacy is a testament to Philly pride and invention. The 2019 calendar starts with the 122nd Mummers Parade and continues with the world’s largest indoor Flower Show, the food-packed South 9th Street Italian Market Festival, the idiosyncratic Kensington Sculpture Derby, the epic Philly Beer Week, a 10-day Fourth of July celebration (Wawa Welcome America) and the nation’s oldest Thanksgiving Day Parade, to name a few. Here’s a look at what’s going on this year (and every year) in the Philadelphia region: January: • Mummers Parade – The lineup for the 122nd Mummers Parade includes 10,000 colorfully costumed people of all ages strutting down one of the city’s main streets.
