  • CCWS Jere Knight Trail Article
    CCWS Jere Knight Trail article In the late 1970’s Peter and Joan Fuller purchased the 240 acre farm on Slifer Valley Road that they named Whispering Woods. Both of them had a dream of making the farm part of a larger community. They were long term members of Cooks Creek Watershed and donated one of their out buildings to be used as a nature center. During that period they preserved part of their farm property from any future development. In 1980, with the help of Cooks Creek members they created a nature trail that wrapped around their property on both sides of Slifer Valley Road. A very pretty part of the trail included an old logging trail that wound above a Cooks Creek tributary stream that runs almost year round. The trail was named Jere Knight Trail in honor of long time Cooks Creek associate and environmentalist, Jere Knight. The drawing below is the original trail layout from 1981-82 Jere Knight was an amazing woman. She was a member of the 1930 Olympic fencing team. In 1932 she married Eric Knight, an editor and author. With a lot of editing help from Jere, Eric wrote the original “Lassie Come Home” book in 1940. When World War II began, Eric, who was English, began working for the US intelligence agency. Unfortunately in 1943 Eric was killed in a military plane accident in Africa that was likely caused by sabotage. Jere was not to be stopped by this tragic loss. Although she was a Quaker, she made an exception for the fight against Hitler.

  • Ecologist, Advocate of Meaningful Literature Jere Knight 1908 - 1996 by GEOFF GEHMAN, the Morning Call
    Ecologist, Advocate Of Meaningful Literature Jere Knight 1908 - 1996 by GEOFF GEHMAN, The Morning Call Shortly after Jere Knight received a 1995 honorary doctorate from Lehigh University she insisted the degree wasn't just for service to humanity. Yes, she'd supported loyally the Friends of the Lehigh University Library. Yes, she'd edited a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of books by a Lehigh history professor. And, yes, she'd shared with the school a lifetime of advocacy for meaningful literature and human rights, conservation and peace. But Knight, who could be modest and impish at the same time, couldn't help suspecting she was honored for devotion to all creatures great and small, notably dogs, specifically collies. With a lark in her voice, she allowed that maybe, just maybe, she should donate her degree in humane letters to a humane society. Yesterday morning Jere Knight -- widow of "Lassie Come-Home" author Eric Knight, Olympic-caliber fencer, major in the Army's first all-female brigade, editor, teacher, ecologist, poet and citizen of the world -- died at age 88 in Pennswood Village in Newtown, Bucks County. The retirement community is about 30 miles from the farm in Pleasant Valley, Springfield Township, where for a half-century she did many of her good deeds. Jere Knight was born Ruth Frances Brylawski in Philadelphia to Edward and Hortense Brylawski. From the University of Pennsylvania she received a bachelor's degree in psychology and languages, and a master's in political science. She parlayed the latter degree into a job as secretary for the Pennsylvania chapter of the League of Nations Association.

  • Come-Home Collies (A Tribute to Albert Payson Terhune)
    COME‐HOME By Ted Slupik There’s no better example of “coming home” than Albert Payson Terhune’s love of his Sunnybank home and his beloved collies. Lad, Terhune’s first famous collie, was devoted to his owner, was a “come‐home” dog. Allowed to romp freely on the grounds of Sunnybank and trained to break loose, he always came home. Most dogs are fairly capable of finding their way home within a three mile radius. Lad and some of his mates always came back to “The Place” at Sunnybank. Lad (the world’s first famous collie) and Lady (Lad’s mate) had only one descendant named Wolf who was killed saving a stray dog on a railroad track. The event was witnessed by many people and was printed as front page news. This helped to contribute to the legend of Terhune’s dogs. Another of Terhune’s more famous collies was Bruce, a dog imported from England that continued the Sunnybank heritage line. Lad’s place in the house was in the music room on a cool floor under the piano. He could watch who was coming up the drive as well as the residents of the house. He was the house and guard dog and was the only dog allowed inside. Lad was the hero of the book, Lad, a Dog, with his master and mistress secondary characters. As you read the book, you are drawn into almost playing the part of these unnamed characters. It seems logical that Terhune, loving his home as much as he did, started a business that kept him there.

  • Narrative Inheritance: the Facts and Fictions That Shape Our Lives
    NARRATIVE INHERITANCE: THE FACTS AND FICTIONS THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Caroline Jennifer Comport, B.A. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 2, 2012 Copyright 2012 by Caroline Jennifer Comport All Rights Reserved ii NARRATIVE INHERITANCE: THE FACTS AND FICTIONS THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES Caroline Jennifer Comport, B.A. Mentor: William J. O’Brien, Ph.D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this thesis is to explore the powerful impulse that drives people of all backgrounds to research their family of origin. In addition to understanding the motivating forces behind genealogical pursuits, this thesis will attempt to answer the following questions: How does who we think we are impact who we become? How is our life story shaped by the stories we believe about our family of origin? How do myth, reality, perception, and meaning influence the way we consciously and unconsciously frame and enact our life story? Does understanding our past give meaning to our present? This research endeavor employs a phenomenological approach to analyze data for meaning and themes. To mine and study this data, the author intentionally embarks on her own genealogical quest and describes the journey from a first-person point of view. The author uses the Comport family as a case study—drawing extensively on the life events of her paternal grandfather, Lionel Frederick Comport. The author chronicles the family’s transformation from 19th century English farmers to 20th century film pioneers.
