  • July 9, 2018. for IMMEDIATE INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION to ALL SCHUYLKILL NAVY CLUB MEMBERS and TENANT PROGRAMS
    Sent: Monday, July 9, 2018 5:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FOR SN CLUB AND TENANT DISTRIBUTION: STATUS OF SCHUYLKILLRIVER DREDGING >>> Schuylkill Navy <[email protected]> 7/9/2018 10:25 AM >>> Schuylkill Navy Delegates and Presidents (with additional cc to Captains, SN Chairs, etc): Please find below (and attached) a comprehensive update on the status of Schuylkill River Dredging. Thanks in advance for working together (Delegates and Presidents with help from club secretaries) to ensure that 100% of all club members, tenant programs (minimally coaches and Athletic Directors (with ask that they in turn forward to parents/alums/etc),) etc. receive the update, since it contains important information regarding the now-needed pivot to "Plan B Private Funding for Restorative Dredging" as well as re-affirmation of the need for Maintenance/ Decennial Dredging to maintain the River's depth and viable use for recreation. We are all in this together, and we need our collective community to be fully up to speed as we take next steps. As always, the Schuylkill Navy's River Restoration Committee will meet this upcoming 3rd Monday of the month (July 16) at 6:00 pm. For questions or additional information, please reach out to River Restoration Committee Chair Paul Laskow at [email protected] Best, Bonnie Vice Commodore 215-815-0599 July 9, 2018. FOR IMMEDIATE INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION TO ALL SCHUYLKILL NAVY CLUB MEMBERS AND TENANT PROGRAMS. STATUS OF SCHUYLKILL RIVER DREDGING Executive Summary: • Despite significant support from all needed municipal and federal political figures as well as the local US Army Corps of Engineers (US ACE Philadelphia District Office), there is no funding for dredging at Boathouse Row nor the National Course on the Schuylkill River in the US ACE 2019 Work Plan.

  • Theological Monthly
    THEOLOGICAL MONTHLY. VoL. I. DECEMBER, 1921. No.12. A Lesson in Pastoral Theology from a Tragical Leaf of American History. R1,v. FREDERICK KoEN.IG, St. Louis, Mo. On Wednesday, July 11, 1804, at 7 ,\.. M., Alexander Hamilton was shot and mortally wounded in a ·duel with his political foe, Aaron Burr, Vice-President of the United States, at Weehawken, on the New J crsey shore, opposite New Yorl( City. He was at once carried to New York and lingered in great agony until the next day, when death came at two o'clock in the afternoon. He left a distressed wife and seven children, the youngest a babe in arms, the oldest a son, sixteen years of age, while a still older son had fallen in mortal combat only two years before., Hamilton died in his forty-eighth year, in the iulness of his great powers, and was buried in the churchyard of old 'l'rinity on Broadway, on the side towards Rector St., opposite the site occupied in 1664 and later by old St. Matthew's, now united with our Synod. Hamilton until then seems not to have been a professing Christian and member of a church. 'l'he loss, in so ignominious a way, of this great man, Revolutionary hero, trusted companion and aide of the unforgotten Washington, illustrious statesman and generally respected citizen, caused a revulsion of feeling throughout the country which has not subsided to this day and which makes it well-nigh impossible for the historian to judge calmly the sub­ sequent turbulent career of his antagonist "damned to everlasting fame." All this is not only extremely interesting, but that part pertaining to Hamilton must be held in mind if we wish to measure aright the difficulties confronting any one that was to be called in for spiritual consolation by the dying man.
