It's been a while since we posted an unidentified photo so this one has a bonus – an extra related photo. Both feature what appears to be at least three generations of a family posed in front of a house. One is taken from a distance, making the house fully visible. The house is brick and it is clearly in a rural setting. The family of nine adults and four children are spaced out across the photo. It appears to be a warm summer day with leaves fully out on trees and bushes, and windows open on the house. The children are posed with croquet mallets and balls as if they had just interrupted their game to have their photo taken.
The second photo gives a much clearer view of the family. They are tightly spaced in front of a porch on the right side of the house. Several of the women and children are wearing flowers pinned to their clothes. Styles indicate a date in the early 1890s.
Help us! Our local history photograph collection is a wonderful resource, but unfortunately not every photo comes to us with full details of the place, people, or date associated with it. For that reason, we are enlisting your help. If you have any idea who this family is, or if you recognize the house, let us know. But even if you don't, be sure to take a minute to enjoy these interesting old photos.

On Monday evening, May 19th, the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club will present "Michigan Lighthouses: Past and Present," a trip along Michigan's shoreline with author Grace Truman at the Oshtemo Branch Library. Truman will illustrate her talk with a slideshow of photo postcards that she and her husband have collected over the course of their journeys.
Grace and Steve Truman are co-authors of Storms & Sand: A Story of Shipwrecks and the Big Sable Point Coast Guard Station (Pine Woods Press, 2014). Storms & Sand tells the history of a life-saving station that once stood in what is now part of Ludington State Park, and chronicles the lives of the lighthouse keepers at Big Sable Point.
Monday's program is co-sponsored by the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club and the Kalamazoo Public Library. Truman's presentation begins at 6:30 pm; books will be available for sale and signing.
And... if you're intrigued by the hobby of collecting postcards and other historic images, here's short video from the club's show and sale last month in Kalamazoo.
One of the great things about KPL is that its collections are so vast, varied, and sometimes surprising. Our 107-year-old government documents collection yields some of the best surprises. A few years ago, we cataloged one of the real gems of the documents collection - the entire 128 volumes of The War of the Rebellion: A compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies. This fully indexed set contains reports, correspondence, orders, etc. for all military operations of both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. You wouldn't think that could be beat, but the documents collection yielded something even more fascinating – the Atlas to Accompany the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but wait until you see all the images inside. There are maps of battles, diagrams of forts, images of war-damaged buildings; as well as uniforms, weapons, wagons, boats and trains. The atlas provides a total visual history of the Civil War.
Check out the Flickr gallery of selected images from the Atlas!
If you haven't been to the history room recently, come by for a visit! You'll notice something different as soon as you get to the second floor when you see our beautiful new entrance. But that's just the beginning. The local history room has gone through a lot of changes over the last few months. From time to time we were noisy, a little dusty, and sometimes even closed; but the disruption has really paid off! We now have twice as much space, and everything we need to help with local history and genealogy research is easily accessible. Improvements to the history room include:
• Special collections conveniently separated for easy access, including: genealogy; city directories and phonebooks; maps and atlases; and yearbooks. • Microfilm, microfilm reader/printers, and hard copies of Kalamazoo Gazettes housed within the history room. • Print station is now located next to the computers. • Shelves have more room, making books easier to find and giving us room to grow!
Enjoy a few photos of the new history room and then come in and see it for yourself.
The Local History Room has had to close up for a couple of days while we get organized into our expanded space. Things are quite a mess right now, but soon we'll be enjoying more room and a great new layout.
Our collection isn't accessible at the moment, but don't forget that all the genealogy databases can be accessed from any of the computers in the Central Library and the branches, and there are many wonderful local history and genealogy books available in the circulating collection.
Welcome to the KPL Local History Community Calendar! Join us in investigating widely diverse Historical subjects presented by local historical societies, organizations, collectors, and preservationist groups. We list conferences, tours, meetings, special events, and large Southwest Michigan antique markets and extend our invitation to anyone interested in history to visit the Community Calendar on the KPL Local History Website. Scheduling an event or program of local historical nature? Complete an information form, or call 269.553.7843, and we will be happy to list your event on our calendar.
We have recently updated Our Local History Reference Collection with green dot stickers on books that have circulating copies. This means that any title in Local History with a green dot sticker has a duplicate that can be checked out. Patrons may simply look up the title in our catalogue or ask the Local History Reference person to find the location of the circulating copy. Patrons are welcome to put the title on reserve if it is checked out or only available in a branch library.
We are very fortunate to be able to continually add new books to the history room collection. They include items on local and regional history, Michigan history, and genealogy research techniques and materials. I enjoy searching for these items and perusing them when they are ready for shelving in the local history room. Occasionally a new book will really jump out at me and I will find myself totally absorbed. This happened with our newest addition to the collection for Irish genealogy research, Atlas of the Great Irish Famine by John Crowley. This big, beautiful book is full of gorgeous photographs and artwork related to Ireland; but its greatest feature is the dozens of maps detailing every aspect of population change, workhouse locations, housing types, employment, cemeteries, soup kitchens, migration… you name it, there's a map that explains it. However, it isn't just dry maps and figures. The impact on society is conveyed through written and oral accounts of the time, art, poetry, and in depth analysis. At over eight pounds and 700 pages, this reference book was not designed for cozy, cover-to-cover reading. But once you open it, you'll find yourself wanting to go back to explore it again and again.
For those of us who have caught the genealogy bug, there's no need for further inducement to trace and record our family history. We know the thrill and challenge of genealogical research is addicting all by itself. However, if you need evidence to help justify your obsession with census data and tombstone transcriptions to those yet to be infected, I have just the thing. A new book by Bruce Feiler, The Secrets of Happy Families, reports that it is highly beneficial for children to know about their family history. Feiler shares some amazing conclusions drawn from a study conducted by Robyn Fivush and Marshall Duke, professors of psychology at Emory University. Feiler summarizes, "The more children knew about their family's history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem, and the more successfully they believed their families functioned."
Of course, sharing family stories with your children or grandchildren is a great way to teach them your family history. But if you'd like to take it a step further, here are a couple books to get you started. Climbing Your Family Tree: Online and Off-line Genealogy for Kids by Ira Wolfman and Roots for Kids: A Genealogy Guide for Young People by Susan Provost Beller both present a kid-friendly introduction to genealogy. So now you can share your passion for family history AND help the next generation become happy, confident people.
As I was re-shelving materials earlier this month, I dropped a copy of White Pine Whispers by local author Larry B. Massie.
When I picked it up, it was turned to the opening page of a chapter
entitled 'When Doomsday Came and Went'. In it, he relates the story of a
population awaiting the arrival of a date that was foretold to bring
with it the end of the world. With December 21 fast-approaching, I
thought it would make for an appropriate read.
Massie opens the chapter with a brief story of Daniel B. Eldred, a
pioneer notable for having given the city of Climax its name. Allegedly,
Eldred had set out for Kalamazoo on the morning of October 19, 1844
when a linchpin came loose from his wagon and one of his wheels became
unstable as a result. Upon nearing Galesburg, he sought the attention of
a blacksmith. The blacksmith began to work to carefully reshape the
linchpin to ensure a proper fit when Eldred asked that he just "Drive it
in; it will answer for three days. I shan't want it after that as the
world is coming to an end."
Eldred was a Millerite, a group that believed that the world would
end on March 21, 1844, and led by the farmer-turned-preacher, William
Miller. Miller had become enamored with the biblical passage Daniel 8:14
which stated, "Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed." He deemed these words prophetic and believed
that this foretold the second coming of Christ which would coincide with
a cleansing of the Earth by fire. Additionally, he suggested that the
2,300 days mentioned in the passage should be interpreted as 2,300 years
and would have begun in 457 BCE, the year that the fifth king of the
Achaeminid Empire, Artaxerxes I of Persia decreed that Jerusalem would
be rebuilt.
When the day dawned on March 22nd without incident, some
Millerites had been rattled in what became known as the "Great
Disappointment", but most maintained their faith that the prophecy would
hold true by the end of the year. After some recalculations and
number-crunching, Miller settled on October 22nd as the day
that would mark the end of the 2,300 year period. By the time that the
date arrived, Daniel Eldred of Climax was one of several hundred
thousand Millerites who were anxiously awaiting the apocalypse. Eldred
and many others had abandoned their professional duties since March of
that year. Children had stopped attending school, debts had been
settled, and fields that should have been nearing harvest lay fallow.
The second "Great Disappointment" occurred when October 22 gave way
to October 23. By this point, Eldred and many others in Michigan and
elsewhere were financially ruined, having staked their livelihoods on
the notion that they would no longer have any need for earthly pursuits.
Eldred sold his farm in Climax and relocated to Virginia, presumably
after fixing his wagon's linchpin a bit more thoroughly.
The most enduring legacy of this story was the founding of
the Seventh Day Adventist Church, organized by a group of Millerites
that remained dedicated to the idea that the prophecy would eventually
come true. Nearby Battle Creek, MI quickly became the nexus of the
Church's activities under the leadership of Ellen G. Harmon and James
White, devout Millerites who married and relocated there in 1855.
White Pine Whispers is a collection of short stories and
essays concerning Michigan's history on topics as diverse as the effects
of the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918 and the history of the sport of
Lacrosse. It and many other books by Larry B. Massie are available in the Local History Room.
One of the best parts of working in the history room is getting to know the collection and all of the wonderful items in it. There's only one problem. Sadly, people just don't come in and say "Hey, show me something really cool," so some of my favorite things don't get as much attention as I feel they deserve. However, that's all about to change. We are now making selected items completely accessible through our website, and will be scouring the history room for great things to share in the coming months. Our first offering is a catalog from the Henderson-Ames Company of Kalamazoo that dates back about 100 years. It contains products exclusively for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. Henderson-Ames boldly claimed, "We are ready to show any Lodge, that the great values which have made us the leaders for many years in the manufacture of Odd Fellow Regalia, Costumes, etc., are increased in this the most complete catalog ever published." There's no way to know if their assertion was correct, but with 134 pages of everything from false beards to grave markers, they couldn't have been far off. Enjoy flipping through the catalog, and be sure to check out the large color images of costumes that begin on page 71.
The Library is 140 years old! Part of our recent celebration included collecting and displaying photos of the library over the years. It was so fun to see the pictures of former staff, earlier buildings, long obsolete equipment, branch libraries, promotions, and library patrons from years ago. The collection spans from the first library building, which was completed in 1893, all the way into the 1990s. The photos were displayed at the Central library, but they are so great we wanted to make them available permanently through the website.
Enjoy this gallery and let us know if it brings back memories.
It happens to many of us – a distant relative by marriage or a close family friend passes away. They had no children, and someone delivers a box of old photos to you because there is no one else to take them. You don't know who any of the people in the photos are and you're quite sure none of them are related to you. So what do you do with them? Well, you might consider donating them to the library located in the city where most of the photos were taken. We are very fortunate that thoughtful people have done that very thing from time to time here at KPL, and recently the photo collection of Marion Louise McConnell came to us that way. It is an incredible collection of over 100 photos from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Many are portraits taken by Kalamazoo photographers. Unfortunately, very few are identified, but the collection is too good not to share. We have created a Flickr collection and will be updating it with information regarding the photographers and any other clues we can determine. Enjoy the slideshow, and if you recognize any of the people or places please leave a comment on the photo. Families that may be included in the collection are McConnell, Rineveld, Kelder, Born, and Link.
This unidentified photo really has to speak for itself, because we have absolutely no information about it. It features two men who clearly like to live large – sporting large moustaches, cigars…and potatoes! They are sitting on a step at the outside entrance of a building. Styles suggest a date around the turn of the 20th century. Let us know if you can shed any light on this image. Help us! Our local history photograph collection is a wonderful resource, but unfortunately not every photo comes to us with full details of the place, people, or date associated with it. For that reason, we are enlisting your help. Watch our local history blog posts in the coming weeks for photographs that we could use a little assistance with. We'll tell you what we know and you can respond if you have any ideas. But even if you don't, be sure to take a minute to enjoy some of our interesting old photos.

Unlike many of our unidentified photos, this amazing image came with just about everything short of a name. The man in the photo has a weathered face full of character, and at first glance it looks like he should be out in the old west. A closer look reveals that he is holding a puppy. The information on the back of the photo identifies him as a former schoolteacher and a "hermit [who] lived on KL Ave." The photographer, Chester B. Robinson, apparently captured the image around 1942. Can you give this man a name? Help us!

This photo has to be one of the most unusual in our collection. It features a group of robed or costumed women, a man with a skull and cross bones, and a goat. Historic photos really don't get any better. Unfortunately, it was not identified in any way. It may be a fraternal organization or possibly a theatrical production of some sort. Whatever it is, there must be a good story associated with it. Do you know the tale behind this photo?

This week's unidentified photo is a great one of a children's bicycle parade. Unfortunately, it came to us with only the caption "World War II – Kalamazoo" for identification. However, it is full of clues for anyone with memories of that neighborhood or time period in Kalamazoo. At least six of the children's faces are in good view. Many details of three houses and some of a fourth are visible. There is even a man in the background with ladders set up, working on one of the homes. Does this neighborhood look familiar to you? What about the children?

Our first offering has always been one of my favorites. It came to us with the Wallace White collection, but appears to be a photo taken earlier and copied by White. It features two young children, seated and facing the camera. We have estimated the date to be around 1850. The only identification given was "Miss Howard's sisters." Can you help us discover their identity?

We have some exciting new additions to report, beginning with our new Regional Publications & Images database! This new database will allow users to browse and perform online keyword searches of historic newspapers, photographs, and other Kalamazoo Public Library holdings that were previously only available as hard copy or on microfilm.
For starters, the database includes freshly digitized issues of the Kalamazoo Daily Telegraph from the years between 1868 and 1885, plus issues of the (weekly) Kalamazoo Saturday Telegraph from 1893 to 1899. And more issues of the Telegraph are being digitized "as we speak." Additional publications (and eventually images) will be digitized and added to the database as resources allow.
Telegraph Building on South Street, c.1920
The Kalamazoo Telegraph was published under varying ownership between 1844 and 1916. Somewhat of a mirror to the staunchly Democratic Gazette, the Kalamazoo Telegraph reflected local happenings from a Republican perspective, which can be a boon for researchers. Many times, the two competing papers offered strikingly different accounts of local events; from politics to sports, entertainment, and most everything else in between. An event that appeared rather insignificant in the pages of the Gazette might have received in-depth coverage by the Telegraph, and of course vice versa.
Learn more about the Kalamazoo Telegraph in a newly written essay, which is part of the State History Award-winning "All About Kalamazoo History" section of KPL's website. And now, search issues of the historic Kalamazoo Telegraph newspaper in our new Regional Publications & Images database. Give it a try!
And as if that's not exciting enough, yet another project coming down the pike will be a newly digitized version of the Grand Army Memorial Record, a book "designed expressly for Grand Army posts throughout the national department of the Grand Army of the Republic for the purpose of securing and perpetuating the military history of every Grand Army comrade." Created in 1884, the book is a handwritten account of those who served in the Grand Army of the Republic, Department of Michigan, Orcutt Post No. 79 at Kalamazoo. Once digitized, this book should be a welcome addition for family genealogists and Civil War historians. Watch for it soon!
A runaway slave of African and Native American ancestry, Crispus Attucks was immortalized as the first casualty of the 1770 Boston Massacre. But who was Attucks anyway, and why would a fugitive dockworker be revered as a martyr and colonial American hero? Attucks' story is shrouded in mystery and what is known about his background is more speculation than fact.
WMU associate professor Mitch Kachun has added Attucks' story to his long list of research projects, hoping to help ensure what he describes as "Crispus Attucks' place in American history and memory."
Join us at the Oshtemo Branch Library on Tuesday evening, February 14th, 6 pm, as Dr. Kachun reveals his recent research on Attucks as he lays the groundwork for a major new book about one of America's most well-known—yet virtually unknown folk heroes.
Our next Genealogy Lock-In is coming up soon! If you've never been to one and are curious, here's how they work: Lock-Ins are held on Friday nights from 6 to 10 pm three times a year. They begin after the Library closes so that genealogists can have the computers and resources all to themselves. Printing and copying are free during Lock-Ins and there are staff members available to answer questions and give research advice. Lock-ins are fun and friendly, providing a comfortable atmosphere in which to research. The collaborative environment is ideal for both new and experienced genealogists alike, and researchers often help each other solve perplexing genealogical problems. Lock-Ins are not intended to be instructional, although participants often learn a great deal. For those looking for help getting started, the Intro to Genealogy program might be a good option – and there is one coming up at the Alma Powell Branch in February. So if spending a cold winter night searching for clues to your family history sounds good to you, go online or call the History Room desk (269-553-7808) to register for the next Genealogy Lock-In on Friday, January 20.
A few weeks ago I went to Covert, Michigan to be interviewed by Deborah Tulani Salahu-Din, the Project Director for the Smithsonian Institution African American Museum of History & Culture, and Michele Gates Moresi, the Curator for the museum. They had requested a meeting with the descendants of the early black and white settlers of Covert, Michigan. My great-great grandfathers William Bright Conner and his family, and Dawson Pompey and his family were the first African Americans to settle in Covert, Michigan after the Civil War ended. My great grandfather John Conner and his brother Frank, and his two brother-in-laws Himebrick Tyler and Joseph Seaton and my great grandfather Washington Pompey and his brother Napoleon were all veterans of the Civil War.
Our library has a book titled A Stronger Kinship: One Town's Extraordinary Story of Hope and Faith by Ann Lisa-Cox which tells the story of Covert's unique history as a racially integrated community during the late 1800's and early 1900's. Covert was a town where blacks and whites went to church and school together. They lived among each other and intermarried. Blacks held public offices and owned businesses. My great grandmother Annis Pompey owned and operated a cider mill and was the first female in Covert to have her own business. Anna Lisa-Cox was instrumental in getting the Smithsonian to take a look at this community.

The new Smithsonian African American Museum of History & Culture will have an exhibition titled "Making a Way Out of No Way" which will include eleven communities from across the United States and Covert, Michigan will be one of the eleven exhibits.
I'm very excited that my ancestors will be a part of this exhibit and proud of the contributions they made to society. If you are interested in learning more about the new Smithsonian Museum of African American History & Culture that will open in 2015, you can visit this website: http://nmaahc.si.edu/
Good news, genealogists and Kalamazoo local history enthusiasts! We are excited to announce a digitization project that has begun here at KPL. We will soon be making digital images of the Kalamazoo Telegraph available through our website with full keyword searching. Daily Telegraph issues from April 6, 1868 to July 24, 1885 have already been scanned, and more will follow in the months to come. We have a bit more work to do before we can get them online, so keep watch on our website for more information in the coming weeks. This valuable resource will soon be just a click away!
If you've visited the "All About Kalamazoo History" section of the KPL website lately, you've probably noticed a few changes here and there—most notably the addition of a State History Award "gold medal" banner! "All About Kalamazoo History" (KPL's online collection of local history essays) has been awarded a 2011 State History Award by the Historical Society of Michigan (HSM)! State History Awards are presented to those individuals and organizations that "have made outstanding contributions to the appreciation and understanding of Michigan history." The State History Awards are the highest recognition presented by the state's official historical society.
When asked what prompted the judges to select KPL for this prestigious award, Dr. Sharon Carlson, HSM board secretary and director of the WMU Archives & Regional History Collections, responded without hesitation by saying, "it was the breadth and depth of the collection. I regularly refer people to these information rich pages. They are an appropriate resource for researchers ranging from a middle school student competing in History Day to genealogists to more serious researchers looking for core publications about a topic." HSM education and awards coordinator, Emily Asbenson, added, "the judges were extremely impressed with the way KPL presents and teaches local history."
"All About Kalamazoo History" has grown considerably since its inception, and now consists of more than 600 pages in twenty one different categories, which collect and preserve the stories of those who helped shape Kalamazoo and its environs. Some are brief vignettes while others offer richly detailed cultural histories; all are painstakingly written and researched by members of the Kalamazoo Public Library staff. These pages attempt to provide interesting reading and valuable research tools for local and regional genealogists, historians, educators, and library patrons.
According to retired KPL Local History librarian Catherine Larson, "we have tried to answer the most frequently asked questions about each topic, (both) for the convenience of our patrons, and to make efficient use of staff time. We have tried to design a structure that is sufficiently flexible that it can grow in any direction that seems appropriate, even if we can't foresee it right now. As I recall, we established the web site in 1998 or 1999. The initial Local History offering was three essays each in four categories. We have grown quite a bit since then, and the structure has served us well. It feels good to be part of a team that puts out such a useful product."
"One of the great things about the website," says current Local History specialist Beth Timmerman, "is that it has allowed us to collaborate with other institutions in Kalamazoo. Many of the house and building histories are from the 1973 Initial Inventory of Historic Sites and Buildings in Kalamazoo which was made available to us by Sharon Ferraro, the city's historic preservation coordinator. Another great collaboration has given us one of our most popular sections—the Kalamazoo: Then and Now photo gallery. This is an ongoing project with Professor William Davis at WMU and his photography students who re-create historic photos from our collection." In addition, staff at Kalamazoo Valley Museum and WMU Archives & Regional History Collections have been extremely helpful with providing photographs and information, as have our patrons. Comments and valuable additions to these essays have been received from across the United States, Canada and abroad.
Congratulations to Beth, the Local History staff, and everyone else who contributes to KPL's virtual branch! Your award-winning library now has an award-winning website!

After reading the article about Social Music in 19th Century Kalamazoo, part of the "All About Kalamazoo History" section of the Kalamazoo Public Library website, a KPL patron alerted us to an artifact that provides some interesting information about Hull & Arnold's Quadrille Band.
While searching through some family items, Ray Buhl wrote that he had found a letter written to his great-great-grandfather, James Crawford, by John Hull, a highly respected violinist and leader of Hull & Arnold's Quadrille Band of Constantine. Hull & Arnold's Band was well known throughout Michigan and Indiana during the mid-nineteenth century and the group performed often in Kalamazoo.
The letter, written in John Hull's own hand on band stationery, reads as follows:
Florence, Mich. Feb 26th, 1882
Friend Jas. Crawford,
Enclosed please find two violin strings. I had them on my violin and when I got my Italian strings, I changed them. I hope they will please you and make your old Amati ring. With regard to you and your amiable wife,
I am as ever your friend,
John Hull.
Florence, Mich. Feb 26th, 1882
Friend Jas. Crawford,
Enclosed please find two violin strings. I had them on my violin and when I got my Italian strings, I changed them. I hope they will please you and make your old Amati ring. With regard to you and your amiable wife,
I am as ever your friend,
John Hull.
While the text is of little historical significance, the printed letterhead provides important clues about the membership of Hull and Arnold's band during the 1880s. At the time the letter was written (and the letterhead was printed), band members were John Hull, violin; Daniel Arnold, Clarionet(sic); Charles H. Arnold (replacing Morris Arnold), trombone; and (importantly), Charles E. Rogers, cornet.
Charles Rogers was the leader of the Constantine (Michigan) Cornet Band, and he later formed the Rogers Cornet Band of Goshen, Indiana. During the late 1880s, Rogers' Band became the "official" musical performance group of the Chautauqua movement in upstate New York. Several prominent Kalamazoo musicians, including Chester Z. Bronson and his brother, William Bronson, were members of Rogers' bands at one time or another. C. Z. Bronson was, of course, the first director of the Kalamazoo Symphony Orchestra.
In addition to the band roster, the letterhead also verifies that Hull & Arnold's band was indeed organized in 1838, a fact that that was generally understood, but remained unconfirmed until now, and that as of 1882, Hull was living in Florence Township just east of Constantine in St. Joseph County.
After reading the article on the KPL website, Mr. Buhl was kind enough to provide the library with a copy of the letter and a note explaining that the letter was found in his great-grandfather Norman Crawford's violin case (having been passed down from his father, James), but sadly the violin in the case was not an Amati.
Our sincere thanks to Mr. Buhl for sharing his findings. No matter how small, items such as this help fill the missing pieces of the mosaic that makes up our local history. Like the store owner says during the Pawn Stars program on the History Channel, "You never know what is going to walk through that door."
On Monday evening, September 26, at 6 pm, the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club will host a presentation by Madeline Okerman Adie at the Oshtemo Branch Library entitled "A Historical Timeline of Michilimackinac." Madeline is the author of Mackinaw City, part of the Postcard History Series from Arcadia Publishing.
The Mackinac Straits Area, including Colonial Michilimackinac, St. Ignace, Mackinaw City, and Mackinac Island, has captivated tourists for generations. Madeline will discuss three different theories about the meaning of Michilimackinac, and then take the audience on an excursion through the history of the Mackinac area from the 1600s until the opening of the Mackinac Bridge in 1957, illustrated with dozens of historic postcard images. "I think I have some interesting trivia about the Mackinac area that many folks don't know!" says Adie.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about one of Michigan's favorite getaway destinations!

While genealogy is a great pursuit any time of year, many people take a break from serious research in the summer. But that doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the thrills of a genealogical search. Whether you're soaking up sun at the beach, on your way to a fantastic vacation destination, or just hiding inside your air conditioned house, there are many engaging books related to genealogy to enjoy. Buzzy Jackson's Shaking the Family Tree: Blue Bloods, Black Sheep, and Other Obsessions of an Accidental Genealogist is a fun account of a historian-turned-genealogist and her quest to track down her Jackson (20th most common American surname) ancestors. With chapters entitled "Information Wants to be Free; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love DNA Testing" and "Beaches and Burke's Peerage; or, The Genealogy Cruise" you know you're in for an entertaining read that is definitely NOT a typical genealogy how-to.
If you prefer your leisure reading in the form of a mystery, there are many books and series to choose from. The Torie O'Shea Mysteries by Rett MacPherson and the Family Tree Mysteries by Patricia Sprinkle are both series that feature a main character who is a genealogist. A keyword search in the library catalog for 'genealogy and mystery' or 'genealogy and fiction' will turn up many other genealogy-themed summer reads like; Legacy by Danielle Steel and Out of the Shadows by Joanne Rendell.
So while you're enjoying your break, keep sharp by reading about someone else's family search – whether it be fact or fiction.
On a walk through downtown Kalamazoo, one would be hard pressed to fail to take notice of both the number and variety of works of public art which adorn building facades, walkways, parks, and even alleys. After completion of a photo gallery dedicated to public sculpture in Kalamazoo, the idea of creating a similar gallery of public murals came up and immediately appealed to me. One of the tasks that I have enjoyed the most as the local history room intern has been the exploration and documentation of the landscape of Kalamazoo through photography.
Once begun, the project began to swell beyond my initial impressions of the number of public murals to be found in Kalamazoo. Some murals have been present for decades and have become so well integrated into the cityscape that they have become easy to overlook. New murals are arriving annually, being painted by local artists such as Conrad Kaufman, who has made a name for himself in the region due to the sheer number of murals he has created for both public and private audiences.
While some of Kalamazoo's murals are easily located, others are more well hidden. Throughout the process of locating and documenting these works of art, I have often been surprised at what can be discovered through a slight variation of a routine route through town. After an examination of the murals in the photo gallery, it is my hope that you will seek them out on your own if should you happen find yourself nearby. If you are aware of any murals that are readily accessible to the public and have not yet been included in the gallery, please let me know in order to help make the list as complete as possible.
One of the most interesting and fun aspects of working in the local history room is receiving new (old) materials for the collection. These come to us from a variety of sources and are often a complete surprise. Last week we received one of these unexpected gifts all the way from North Carolina. The donor had apparently never lived here. His father had lived in Michigan but moved away over 80 years ago – however, for some reason he saved a postcard of the Triangle Lunch on old US 131 between Kalamazoo and Plainwell. The family held onto that postcard all these years and then very thoughtfully passed it on to us. I am always amazed and grateful when people take the time to do things like that.
We are having a wonderful time trying to unlock the clues in this photo. Our donor believes that it would have been purchased in the late 1920s or early 1930s, and we know from phonebooks that a Triangle Lunchroom was operating in Cooper Township at that time. We have not yet determined where on old 131 (Douglas Avenue) the diner sat, or the owners, but we have many resources still to check. If you have any information for us regarding the photo, please let us know. Local residents are often our best resources!
One interesting note – we had hoped to get vital information from a sign in the window of the building, but no amount of magnification seemed to help. Finally, Mandana Nordbrock, with her sharp (young) eyes solved this important mystery – it read "Juicy Ham Burgers."
On Monday evening, May 23, the Southwest Michigan Postcard Club will present part two of its series of programs at the Oshtemo Branch Library entitled "Railroads of Michigan: Small Pictures, Big Stories."
Regional railroad history expert and author Mark Worrall will share more rare and unusual photos of railroads from Michigan's past and discuss the intriguing and sometimes unbelievable stories behind them. "From oat powered trains to air powered railroads; oil trains on the Annie to Hunter Specials roaring across the Upper Peninsula; Grand Rapids reefers to the Duluth South Shore & Atlantic's spending binge in 1888." Mark is a compelling presenter and his programs always receive enthusiastic reviews. Come early, Mark's program begins promptly at 6:30 pm.

Over the course of the last year, my position as local history intern has afforded me numerous opportunities to engage in a variety of projects, most of which have allowed me to pursue my own personal local history interests while contributing to the body of material available to the public for use in their own historical inquiries. When the weather has been appropriate, these projects have often taken me outdoors, camera in hand, and onto the streets of Kalamazoo. Last summer, I had the distinct pleasure of visiting and photographing the various historic districts of Kalamazoo County in order to compile information from the National Register of Historic Places and the State Historic Preservation Office in a series of web pages. When appropriate, I would always opt to walk to these destinations. In my pedestrian travels throughout Kalamazoo, I was frequently impressed by the quality and quantity of public memorials, monuments, sculptures, murals, and other works of art. When discussion regarding updates to the library's online photo gallery of local public sculpture occurred last winter, I immediately became interested in contributing to this effort.
As soon as the last of the significant quantities of snow had melted, and the weather had begun to turn more hospitable, I was ready to take new photographs of the works previously included, and quickly decided to expand the collection. From nine, the gallery has grown to thirty-nine with plans to include approximately two dozen additional sculptures. The sheer number of works of public sculpture found in Kalamazoo renders even this list incomplete, and it is my hope that if you are aware of a work that has been currently overlooked, you will inform me in order to help create the most comprehensive list possible.
These sculptures are, and have been, sources of civic pride for the residents of Kalamazoo, and we are lucky to conduct our lives amidst an atmosphere that encourages and appreciates the creation of works of artistic expression. While I am continuing to expand the gallery devoted to public sculpture in Kalamazoo, I am also currently engaged in creating a similar gallery focusing on public murals. It is my hope to have a version available by the end of spring.

Regional railroad history expert and author Mark Worrall will share rare and unusual photos of railroads from Michigan's past and discuss the intriguing and sometimes unbelievable stories behind them.

Mark will present the second part of his program at the Oshtemo Branch Library on May 23rd.
Perhaps the last time you attended a sporting event or concert, you awoke the next day to find you had come down with Clergyman's Throat ("An impairment of the voice due to excessive or improper use of the voice. Can also be caused by excessive use of tobacco or liquor." p.29). Then again, there are those who suffer, during the long dry, winter months, from Furfur (Furfaire) ("Any scaling of the skin, such as dandruff" p.53). Or, maybe you were frustrated during your lunch break when trying to quickly place your order to find the individual behind the counter to be quite Starblind ("A condition in which an individual stares with eyes half closed, appears to be slow to understand, and blinks frequently" p.135). There is a wealth of obscure medical ailments and their cures held within this rather slight, economical (just 178 pages including reference citations) and yet fascinating and informative publication, A Medical Miscellany for Genealogists. Dr. Jerger has written, or perhaps it is better to say compiled, her book expressly for the use of understanding antiquated medical terms. It functions like a dictionary. It was created by one who was herself frustrated, despite more than thirty years of experience in the medical field, by inscrutable language when investigating her ancestor's life histories and the ailments from which they suffered and perhaps succumbed to. Dr. Jerger has also supplemented this list with terms from Native American, European, Asian and African folk beliefs and healing traditions.
Whether your understanding is impeded by neglected medical nomenclature while in the midst of genealogy research, studying old medical records, while attempting to enjoy literature of the time or even if you just have an interest in obscure words and phrases, this book is an excellent resource for being specific to the medical field and terminology that has fallen out of favor, various pseudonyms for the same practice or perhaps practices or medicines that are no longer in use ("Inhalation of Gas- A form of pneumotherapy. Inhalations of carbonic acid and sulfurous acid were used to treat tuberculosis of the lungs, asthma and emphysema." p. 71). From the completely unheard of ("Spruce Beer- A remedy made by boiling the tops of spruce boughs in beer. Used to treat scurvy in the 18th century." P.134) to the familiar disguised in strange nomenclature ("Polish Disease- Also syphilis." P.111, "Scourge of Nations- Also Cholera" p 125 or "St. Hubert's Disease- Also Rabies" p.122) you can use this book as a research tool or as a source for a few moments interesting and educational diversion.
When it comes to historic buildings, few generate the level of interest that one-room schoolhouses do. It's hard to pass one by without taking a second look and wondering what life was like for students who were educated there. It's also fascinating to see how they have been remodeled and repurposed into homes, shops, and other useful structures. On February 24, the Library will host a program for all of us who love these old buildings - Michigan's Historic One Room Schoolhouses. Presenter Dianna Stampfler will take us on a photographic tour of schoolhouses throughout Michigan and reveal their history and how many are being used today. Dianna always presents a lively, informative program; and as a resident of southwest Michigan her presentation will include many familiar landmarks. Join us at 7:00 pm on the 24th for a great program, and don't forget that you can always find useful information about Kalamazoo County rural schools under Education in the All About Kalamazoo History section of our website.
While sorting through some of our internal networks in search of files for a recent project, I ran across a terrific find. Last May, local shipwreck hunter and author Valerie van Heest gave an excellent program at Central Library called "Lost and Found: Shipwrecks of West Michigan." During her 55 minute presentation, van Heest talked about the many vessels that have been lost in the waters off Michigan's west coast, and provided an overview of the work her team has done over the past fifteen years to locate and document these wrecks. Valerie showed compelling images (both still and video) of what they've found, and provided fascinating insight into the discovery process itself.
KPL staff videotaped the program in May, but for whatever reason, the files were stored away and seemingly forgotten. With this new "discovery," the program is now available in its entirety on KPL's YouTube Channel, and linked along with the other Local History Video Presentations on the KPL website.
It was truly exciting to view Valerie's program; itself once "lost and (now) found!"
One thing nearly always leads to another, when you're doing library research. Last week a patron asked us to find the text of an old poem about the Kalamazoo River; while hunting it down, Local History librarian David DeVries discovered this gem in the history room Poetry file. Undated, the accompanying note said that it had been reprinted by request in the Kalamazoo Telegraph, though "doubtless many in Kalamazoo have read it."
From the madding crowd they stand apart, The maidens four and the Work of Art; And none might tell from sight alone In which had Culture ripest grown-- The Gotham Million fair to see, The Philadelphia Pedigree, The Boston Mind of Azure hue, Or the soulful Soul from Kalamazoo-- For all loved art in a seemly way, With an earnest soul and a capital A. Long they worshipped; but no one broke The sacred stillness, until up spoke The Western one from the nameless place, Who, blushing, said: "What a lovely vase!" Over three faces a sad smile flew, And they edged away from Kalamazoo. But Gotham's haughty soul was stirred To crush the stranger with one small word. Deftly hiding reproof in praise, She cries: "'Tis, indeed, a lovely vaze!" But brief her unlovely triumph when The lofty one from the house of Penn, With the consciousness of two grandpapas, Exclaims: "It is quite a lovely vahs!" And glances around with an anxious thrill, Awaiting the word of Beacon Hill. But the Boston maid smiles courteouslee And gently murmurs: "Oh pardon me! I did not catch your remark, because I was so entranced with that lovely vaws!" James Jeffry Roche 1847-1908
As a bicycle commuter, who used to cross several lanes of Kalamazoo Avenue traffic in fear every time I rode to work, I've dreamed of visiting Davis, CA. Davis is one of three communities given top honors by the League of American Bicyclists, as a Bicycle Friendly Community. It also is featured, among other cities, in Jeff Mapes' Pedaling Revolution: How Cyclists are Changing American Cities. Mapes traces the grassroots movement of cycling activists to create room and safety for cyclists in many communities. It's an inspiring topic. Locally, Kalamazoo is making progress for non-motorized travelers. The development of sections of the Kalamazoo River Valley Trail provides Kalamazoo area cyclists and hikers with additional paved trails free of motor vehicle traffic. Now you can hook up to the Kal-Haven Trail from an access point downtown. By later this fall, you should be able to ride the trail from the Kalamazoo riverfront out to the Kalamazoo Nature Center, and ultimately, plans call for the trail to extend as far as Battle Creek. The 2010 Kalamazoo Master Plan--drawn up to project city land use plans for the next 20 years--states that "expanding non-motorized connections is a high priority for residents and city leaders." The plan includes a map on p. 49 (well, p. 55 in the Adobe read-only format) which details the current and planned non-motorized connections for the city. If you prefer to read the plan in print, our Local History room holds a copy of the final version.
While I attest to having a fascination with the art and park-like beauty of many cemeteries, working in the local history room has given me an even greater appreciation for them as a tool in genealogical and local history research. Many times, a tombstone provides just the clue needed to fill in a blank or push the research in a different direction. But with around 70 cemeteries and burial grounds in Kalamazoo County, tracking down a gravesite can sometimes be a challenge.
Over the years, individuals and groups like the DAR and the Kalamazoo Valley Genealogical Society have published books of cemetery records and tombstone inscriptions for various cemeteries and we have those in the local history collection. In more recent years there have also been some very ambitious projects launched on the Internet that provide burial/tombstone information - and many times even photos of individual stones. The problem is that no one set of books or single website has everything for all the cemeteries in the area.
In response to this issue, the Library has launched Cemeteries of Kalamazoo. This collection of web pages locates all the known cemeteries and burial grounds in Kalamazoo County and identifies all the sources – both print and online – for burial and tombstone data for each individual cemetery. You can search for the information by township or with the Cemeteries A-Z index.
As with many of our projects, this is a work in progress and we intend to update and expand as more information comes our way. So be sure to let us know if we've missed anything or you know of a new source and we'll promise to keep this a tool that will be useful for years to come.
Kalamazoo is brimming with great history and there are many ways to enjoy it. One of my favorites is through the Gazelle Sports Historic Walks led by Lynn Houghton. The walks are fun, informative and a great way to slow down and truly appreciate all the wonderful historic architecture Kalamazoo has to offer. As a local historian, regional history curator at the WMU Archives and Regional History Collections, and co-author of Kalamazoo Lost and Found, Lynn's credentials can't be beat. She deftly identifies the characteristics of architectural styles like Greek Revival, Italianate, Art Deco and many more that can be found throughout Kalamazoo. But that's not all you'll learn. Every building has a story related to the people involved with it – from designers, to builders, to occupants – and you will have the opportunity to hear many of those stories, and through them, learn a great deal about Kalamazoo history. The walks are free and take place on selected Thursday evenings and Friday mornings through summer and into the fall. Dates, times and locations of this season's Historic Walks can be found on our Local History Community Events Calendar. So put on your walking shoes and get out there and enjoy the history that surrounds you!
The Civil War is a topic of great interest to many people - and when you add in a Michigan connection with a portrayal of an actual Civil War soldier you have the makings of a great program. In collaboration with the General Benjamin Pritchard Camp 20 Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, the library will be presenting just such a program.
Richard Hamilton, author of "Oh! Hast Thou Forgotten," Michigan Cavalry in the Civil War: The Gettysburg Campaign, will entertain and educate his audience when he portrays his ancestor, George Thomas Patten, at the Central Library on June 8. Patten, who served in the 6th Michigan Cavalry Regiment which rode under the command of Brigadier General George Armstrong Custer in the Battle of Gettysburg -- lost his life at the Battle of Falling Waters. Dressed in a Civil War uniform, Hamilton will interact with the audience as he assumes the character of his courageous ancestor.
The program begins at 7:00 - but come early for the book signing at 6:30. The 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War is less than a year away, and this is a great opportunity to commemorate our history.
In the strictest interpretation of the term "local history," you might not consider topics related to Lake Superior or even Lake Michigan close enough to qualify here in Kalamazoo. However, as residents of Michigan--whether living on the lakeshore or in the dead center of the state--we all feel a special connection to each of the Great Lakes and consider them our own. For that reason, we are hosting two wonderful programs in May related to the Lakes. On May 5, Valerie van Heest--author, shipwreck hunter and member of the Women Divers Hall of Fame--will be here presenting her program Lost and Found: Shipwrecks of West Michigan. Ms. van Heest will treat her audience to a history of Great Lakes shipping through the dozens of almost timelessly preserved shipwrecks that lie hidden off the shores of West Michigan. Then, on May 13, we will have the rare opportunity to discover what Great Lakes lighthouse keeping was really like from someone who lived it. The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter, Frances Platske, will share her childhood experiences of life in lighthouses on Lake Superior and her passion for preserving this important part of our state's heritage. So get ready to expand your horizons and get in touch with history that is uniquely Michigan.
Wouldn't you love to peruse historic photos of places you see every day, or that you remember but no longer exist? In the history room we get to work with these photos every day and we know how much interest they engender. For that reason we've made our photo collection (as well as portions of the WMU Archives and Kalamazoo Valley Museum photo collections) available for viewing in our local information database. But if you don't feel like searching for photos, take a look at our photo galleries. We've pulled out some of the best photos from our collection and grouped them together under various topics. You can see Washington Square evolve from the turn of the twentieth century into the 1990s, enjoy the beauty of Kalamazoo parks, and stroll down Burdick Street in the 1800s. Or maybe you prefer photos of people like the portraits of the Kalamazoo High School Class of 1872, or people at work at Gibson Guitar or the Michigan Asylum. Our photo galleries provide a wonderful glimpse of Kalamazoo's past and are available for you to enjoy whenever you feel like looking back.
For decades, local history room staff have witnessed the amazing thrill people get when they locate that lost ancestor, solve a family mystery, or simply find a grandparent recorded in the U.S. Census. Genealogical research enthralls millions worldwide. To those of us involved in this community, it might seem that genealogy could not get any bigger--but that is clearly not the case. Public radio's Marketplace recently aired a segment "How Big is Genealogy" which discussed the huge popularity of the hobby. This was demonstrated, in part, by two primetime television shows airing this season. Henry Louis Gates, creator of African American Lives, returns to the topic of genealogy with the four part PBS series Faces of America in which he reveals the family history of 12 American celebrities. Part two premiers February 17. NBC has also discovered the allure of genealogy. Partnering with Ancestry.com, they will air a similar show called Who Do You Think You Are? next month. With the influx of retiring baby boomers, this trend will likely continue to grow-- and we'll be ready for it in the local history room.
The local history room has been bringing Kalamazoo's past to life for more than a decade through All About Kalamazoo essays on the KPL website. Back in 1998, the website launched with twelve essays written by local history staff, divided into four categories: Houses, Businesses, Biography, and General Topics. Over the years, this feature of our website has grown dramatically through the interests and efforts of dozens of people. Today we offer nearly 150 essays in 17 different categories.
I will never forget when local history specialist Catherine Larson, who pioneered our local history web pages, invited me to start writing essays for the website. She said to write on any topic that interested me, because if it interested me, it would interest other people. That attitude has paid off and resulted in a great collection of essays on a very diverse set of topics - everything from parks to parking and Lassies to Ladies. But please don't think that we've run out of things to say. New essays are being added to the website all the time - four in just the last month! So keep checking back, because if it interests us…

The amount of women judges on state benches rose ever so slightly this year, a new report has found.
Overall, the number of women in state and federal benches combined rose to 27.1 percent, up from 26.6 percent in 2011 and 26 percent in 2010. The report, conducted by the University at Albany's Center for Women in Government & Civil Society, looked at all 19,334 judgeships at the state and federal level nationwide.
While Montana ranked first as the state with the highest percentage of women judges at 40.3 percent, New York was considered a Tier 1 state, a designation reserved for states with greater than 30 percent female judgeships. Only 12 other states and Washington D.C. had achieved such a level. About half of the states were designated Tier 2 states, in which women held 20 to 29 percent of state and federal judgeships.
Idaho ranked last with only 11.3 percent of state and federal judgeships being held by women.
"This is both good news and bad news," CWGCS director Dina Refki said. "The good news is that there is movement at least at the state level, but the bad news is that the rate of change is so slow. If women are graduating from law schools at the same rate as men and if there is a pool of qualified women who are ready to serve, there is no explanation for the unbalanced representation on the bench."

June 09, 2011, 12:59 PM — Cloud computing is famously scalable – but only horizontally.
IBM is trying to change that with new cloud-systems software designed to connect high-performance-computing resources to make them accessible through a single interface in the same way horizontally-scaled systems are with typical cloud software.
It carries a name with Cloud in it, but the software itself looks a lot more like cluster controls than what most people mean by "cloud."
You don't hear as much about HPC as you did a few years ago, when the only efficient way to get a lot of compute power in the same place was to scale vertically – add enough processing power, memory and bandwidth to a single machine that could do the work of many.
With virtual-server and cloud software, it's now more efficient and less expensive to keep letting many servers do the work of many, but make them all divvy up the workloads and resources neatly. The end result was similar to what customers could get from specialized clusters, grids or even HPC systems, at much lower cost.
As closely as clusters or clouds can mimic some of the performance of HPC systems, they can't do it all.
The Air Force custom-built a graphics-analysis supercomputer out of almost 2,000 PlayStations because commodity level general-purpose servers couldn't crunch the visual data quickly enough.
Engineering apps, mining or geographic modeling software, some scientific software and other apps too resource-intensive to run well on standard servers – even clustered – still force many companies to by HPC systems.
IBM's HPC Management Suite for Cloud is designed to at least let those companies avoid wasting expensive HPC resources, by combining them into a single cloud system in the same way horizontally scaled servers are, but with much higher processing potential.
It's not virtualization, though. Running a hypervisor – which amounts to an additional operating system, though a small one – adds computational overhead HPC apps can't afford.
So IBM's approach is to make workload management much more aggressive and much more sophisticated than previously. It allows HPC server farms to split up computational tasks and distribute them among all the farms, to run on the servers with the most capacity.
By that description, it isn't really cloud software at all.
It's cluster-management software that's able to reach out to more pools of system resources than typical load balancers.

Le Lift
Le Lift Review
Decorated with quirky contemporary statues, this is a surprisingly modern and stylish restaurant. Using only the freshest local ingredients, Chef Philippe Bardeau combines textures and flavors to create a colorfully vibrant cuisine. Large windows provide views of the leafy park across the way (and, thankfully, not of the cineplex, which sits just below the restaurant); reserve a seat on the panoramic terrace overlooking the Loire River when the weather is warm. This is an excellent choice for a night out with friends, but the noisy atmosphere doesn't lend itself to a romantic rendez-vous.

And this: "Shopping and cooking and loading up like a squirrel filling the tree with acorns for the Winter." Don't you feel cozier already?

"Eating and cooking with family; all the great flavors of comforting food during the cool Fall weather," he quipped. "Relaxing day!" When one operates a restaurant that seats up to 70 guests, even cooking for 20 is probably no big deal.

"We all expect delicious comfort food served family style. I hate plated food in the home. I think it's unfriendly," he wrote. Turkey day "brings back memories of past Thanksgivings, when I make my family's recipes."

We're sleepy already. Source: Getty 7 / 10 @EricRipert: Getting in touch with his Puerto Rican side What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I am so lucky to own a fish restaurant," Eric Ripert tweeted. "Every year, I spend Thanksgiving with my family instead of roasting 1,000 turkeys." Even better than not serving on turkey day? Getting in touch with his Latin side: "I have a lot of fun, partying, dancing — part of the family is Puerto Rican." Eric, we'd love to see you salsa!

Syria plays chemical weapons shell game
To the editor:
Inspectors are reviewing the list of chemical weapons provided by Syria and working on destroying the known chemical stockpiles and equipment. However, American and Middle East officials said Syria's elite Unit 450, which runs Bashar Assad's chemical weapons program, scattered the weapons across Syria and into Iraq.
A Lebanese newspaper reported 20 trucks loaded with equipment and chemical weapons were driven across the border into Iraq, on Sept. 12 to 13, 2013. The trucks were not inspected by the border guards.
Some of these chemical weapons going to Iraq could be weapons that were moved from Iraq into Syria prior to the Iraqi War. Director of National Intelligence, James Clapper, who formerly headed the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency, stated in October 2003 "satellite imagery showed a heavy flow of truck traffic from Iraq into Syria just before the American invasion in March 2003.
In January 2006, General Georges Sada, an Iraqi general under Saddam Hussein, claimed Iraq moved WMDs into Syria before the war, which were loaded on civilian aircraft and multiple truck convoys.
Iraq and Syria have been playing a WMD swap game for many years, which should be thoroughly investigated and ended with the destruction of these weapons.
Donald A. Moskowitz
Defense secretary owes an apology
To the editor:
I never thought that as a 35-year veteran of the armed forces that I would pick up my pen and demand the resignation of the secretary of defense for an outrageous failure of leadership in denying death benefits for the family of our fallen heroes. While now corrected, this agony went on for far too long, especially when the secretary himself had the ability to fund and correct this injustice.
As of today, neither Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel nor President Obama, the commander-in-chief, have formally apologized to the American people and especially the families of our fallen for unnecessarily increasing their burden of pain and suffering after losing a loved one in defense of the United States. Both the secretary and the commander-in-chief seem to be incapable of separating political ideology from their constitutional requirement in support of our armed forces. It took a private nonprofit group, the "Fisher House", to come to the support of these military families in their time of need. How embarrassing for our national leaders to ask for a charity to step in and take over the government's responsibility.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Chief,
Office of Scientific Intelligence
Response to Questions Concerning the
Transfer of Semiconductor Technology to the USSR
Attachedormal response to your questions concerning the transfer of semiconductor technology from the West to the USSR, and the possibilities for transfer under the US-USSR bilaterals. These answers were given to you informallyarch.
If additional information or clarification is desired, please contact
of Economic kesearcn
Attachment:is stated
Transfer of Semiconductor Technology to the USSR
I- Questions What (legal/illegal) transfers of semiconductor technology to the USSR have taken place* to date?
Before detente the USSRew items of equipment for manufacturing semiconductors,mostly in Western Europe and Japan. These purchases were of little significance, however. In the earliest case (in thehe USSR purchased aboutermanium ingot slicing machines from Japan. Although these machines may havesubstantially the output of germanium wafers for diodes and transistors, they could not have affected the quality of output. More, the USSR acquired diffusion furnaces from the UK in connection with the Italian FIAT contract toassenger car facility at Tol'yatti. The furnaces were intended to be used to manufacture diode rectifiers for car alternators. For several years, Switzerlandon-COCOM country) has been selling unknown quantities of thin-film evaporationto the USSR, probably for hybrid circuits. The US hasarge number of chemical milling machines (spray etchers) to the USSR Strictly speaking, these are not items of semiconductor production machinery, butery closely related technology; they are used in the fabrication of printed circuit boards and lead frames, both of which are needed for mounting semiconductor devices.
The Soviets also have acquired semiconductortechnology through illegal channels. Thesemay haveignificant impact on Sovietproduction capabilities. Although most reportspurchases are allegations that are difficultit seems almost certain that the USSR hasfollowing: ine for the production of*process manual forICs, diffusion xurnaces, and testing equipment.
Question: which science and technology agreements could Involve transfers of semiconductor technology to the USSR?
(A) US-USSR bilateral agreements?
The cooperative agreement on "Standards and Standardization" is the only one to date that specifically mentions semiconductors. Thatwhich providesoint working group in the area of standardization of integrated circuit testing, could constitute an avenue for the transfer of US semiconductor technology to the USSR. testing, which is crucial to the attainment of economic production yields is an area in which the USSR is not very advanced. Other areas of cooperation under the bilaterals that could result in gains to tha USSR in semiconductor technology Include:
Microbiology: Working Group on "Engineering rosc.irch and methods for the OOTpUtttrllM design and control of processes for microbiological technology".
Oceanography: Working Group on "Intercalibra-tion and standardization of oceanographicand methods".
Science Policy: Working Group on "Systems for tho support" of fundamental science".
Energy: Working Group onasically this covers solar cells. However, theinvolved is similar to that used in theof photodiodes and photo-transistors, which are of strategic importance.
Water Resources: Working. Group on "Use of equipment, automatically controlled, for two-way transmission of information to control panels and devices. This includes joint work on systems analysisand up-to-date computer technology.
Agreements between USSR and private US firms?
Electronic component technology has beenin several science and technology agreements between the USSR and US firms. Specific US firms which reportedly have signed or are negotiating agreements with the USSR involving electronic component technology include:
These agreements offer the prospect of atransfer of technology through direct sale, visits to US production facilities, and exchange of information.
Q'lesrion: What are Soviet semiconductorow many years are they behind?
We estimate that, overall, Soviet semiconductorand production lags at least five years behind that of the US. There are, of course, specific areas of semiconducbor technology where Soviet developments are not far behind US work for example, in the laboratory development of some semiconductor materials. But Soviet capabilities lag significantly in the area of applied research and development and, especially, in industrial scale production.
In terms of production, Soviet output is small relative to that of the US. In the area of integrated circuits, Soviet output3 is believed to have been lesshat of the US. Moreover, the Soviet IC product-mix is made up mainly of low density devices (SSI: small-scale integration) comparable to US state-of-the-art of The Soviet technological lag is greatest in MOS, LSI, linear ICs, high voltage devices nd in advanced types of solid-state microwave devices, with the exception of tunnel diodes.
