    NEW ORLEANS IN WORDS Richard Louth Every summer since 2001, the Southeastern Louisiana Writing Project (SLWP), a National Writing Project site housed at Southeastern Louisiana University, has been hosting “writing marathons” in New Orleans where writers spend from one to three days eating, drinking, and writing their way across the city. Writers traditionally gather at Le Richelieu Hotel for a brief introduction, and then depart in small groups to experience the city as writers. The writing marathon embodies the concepts of freedom, discovery, and community: writers may write whatever they wish and wander wherever they want with whomever they choose as partners. The only restriction is that after individuals write for a period of time (usually 10-15 minutes), they share their writing with their small group (3-4 others) by reading it aloud while members of the group reply with a simple “thank you.” No criticism is allowed. After everyone in the group writes and shares their writing in a particular spot such as a pub or coffeehouse, they enjoy refreshments, talk a bit, and then move on to another spot to write, read aloud, eat, drink, and socialize again. The focus is on writers enjoying themselves by having time to write in good company. The power of the writing marathon is in its ability to free writers by allowing them to write intensively, without criticism, in a variety of new and familiar places with a community of new and familiar companions. While it thrives upon spontaneity and serendipity, there is a cumulative effect over the course of a day as writers in each small group observe their surroundings, delve deep within themselves, and share their writings and their company with each other.

Thank you for coming on behalf of the Holy Cross Community. My name is Brother Shaun Gray. I have been a member of the Community for 51 years. I’m here to celebrate the life of Brother John Ptaszek. It was a good day when our paths crossed. A meeting that would lead to a great friendship for many years. Actually, to the end of Brother John’s life on earth and the legacy he left with us. I first met Brother John at our Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, where he was teaching in 1968. Our paths did not cross again until he was assigned to Le Mans Academy in Rolling Prairie, Indiana in 1973. At Le Mans he served as Librarian and Resident Supervisor. From the beginning, he established good relationships, displayed a meaningful spiritual life and became a great role model for all who knew him. Brother John always took pride in everything he did. For example, his leadership was evident when his dorm won many awards for excellence. You could definitely rely on his willingness to help out when he was needed. When a dorm supervisor was not available Brother John was. As he would reply when I asked for his help, “OK. Brat.” (Brother in Polish!) His outstanding library skills showed good organization to the point of constant updating in the digital age. After 30 years of hard work and dedication his career ended there when Le Mans closed in 2003.

He bundled his overcoat more tightly around him, pulled out his gloves and lit a cigarette as the glass rattled in the door behind him. He slipped his lighter into his coal pocket and in one quick movement had neatly adjusted his hat, pulled on his gloves and started off down the flagstone path between Roberts and the Lloyd parking lot. He walked in short, compact, determined steps, his eyes rooted firmly to the ground, taking regular puffs on the fresh cigarette. A group of students bounded out of fourth entry, caught sight of him and carefully measured their steps in order to meet him at the point where their paths crossed. He uttered a snappy hello, flashed a broad smile and with a brief wave of the hand, disappeared into the noise of the ventilators behind Founders. Mac has been the mentor of the campus for 35 years. Everyone knows him. His name and the College's are synonymous. For all those who have passed through these doors, it was he who got them here, in many cases it was he who kept them here, and it was he who held an incalculable influence on all. He was arbiter, counselor, the last word and the foun- tainhead of common sense.

BLUESMAN, GUITAR, AND MIGRATION A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Southern Studies The University of Mississippi by YAEKO TAKADA August 2016 Copyright Yaeko Takada 2016 ALL RIGHT RESERVED ABSTRACT This project examines how the bluesman, guitar, and migration have interacted with each other and brought about transformations to American popular music, based upon scholarly works, magazine articles, and the sound recordings of the prewar blues performers. In popular theory, the blues sprang out of the cotton fields and articulated the life experiences of the oppressed people in isolated areas, particularly the Jim Crow South. These are certainly truths of the blues. Also true is that the blues was a product of modernization in every way and a representation of the African American bluesman’s aspiring life. The bluesman’s mobile lifestyle was one way of his response to the changes of society. Chapters One and Two investigate the instruments of African American people past and present and closely look at the pathway of the guitar to become a bluesman’s choice of instrument.

    Bishop Isaac W. Wiley 1825-1884 by J. Martin Stroup, 1964 editor’s note: This extended paper is a series of six articles featured in The Sentinel , the daily newspaper of Lewistown PA, in May 1964. They were written by J. Martin Stroup, then a former editor of The Sentinel . We certainly concur with the statement in the original introduction to the series that “much painstaking effort went into the gathering of facts from numerous sources.” We thank The Sentinel for permission to reprint these articles and make this valuable information available to a new generation of readers. 1. The Story of “Mother” Stoner and the Making of a Bishop This is the story of two careers. They were lives in which this community, especially Lewistown Methodism, can take justifiable pride. One was that of a housewife and mother. The whole community knew her as “Mother,” or “Aunty,” she was THAT kind of Christian. The other career started as have the lives of many persons, as a boy on the streets of Lewistown. Then, one Sunday morning in 1833 their paths crossed and he had a destiny. A half-century later they were called to their eternal rewards in the same month. “Mother” Stoner was buried in the Methodist Cemetery on West Fourth Street on November of 1884. Beside her rested her husband, Henry Stoner, and all eight of her children who had preceded her to the grave. On the other side of the world, Bishop Isaac W. Wiley died during a tour of China and was laid to rest at Foochow beside his first wife, who had died there 30 years before while he served as a medical missionary.
