Wilsall Cabin Rental Photos and Description
Unique 3 bedroom, 2 bath comfortable cabin surrounded by 3 mtn. ranges
Shakespeare had his 'play within a play' technique and we have our 'cabin within a cabin' architecture! Former owners built a house around and above an old hunting cabin affording us an intriguing and unique interior. The warmth of the log walls, the stone fireplaces, and inspired decor create a warm and welcome atmosphere that our guests have loved! Recycled wood has been used to trim doors and windows, be the planks for our floors and serve as our handmade custom doors. This attention to detail give Bowmore a style that will take your breath away. 'Wow!' 'This is amazing' are common phrases heard when guests enter our doors. During your stay, cook up a delicious meal in our fully stocked log kitchen while the wood stove crackles away in the open kitchen/ family room area.The custom built kitchen cabinets and tile floor will make you want to cook! (Or, bring your take out food and load up the extra frig located in the laundry room for your overflow items.) You may even feel inspired to grill on our deluxe propane bbq sitting just outside the back door on the spacious deck looking out to a forest of fir trees and pond. Enjoy your meal in the formal dining room with two sets of french doors and 3 beautiful windows looking out on Montana's heartland. The harvest style table with leaves can accommodate larger numbers. If the weather is right, take your meal on the back deck furniture under the cover of the retractable awning. Or, for a cozier meal, sit at the table in the breakfast room, looking to the forest and pond. With the flip of a switch a gas fireplace warms the comfortable living room. In the mood for a movie? Want to catch that special game? Enjoy our media room supplied with satellite TV reception and surround sound. Surround sound makes the experience realistic and vibrant. Feel free to borrow videos and DVDs from our media room library. The media room can also double as another bedroom for the couch converts to a queen size hide-a-bed. The double doors and heavy curtains and window shades provide more than adequate privacy. Before you depart from the media room, take a look in the antique amoire at all the games and puzzles placed for your enjoyment. A lovely bathroom with a shower graces the main floor. Head up the massive custom built staircase to 3 bedrooms and one bathroom. Before you do, don't miss the little apartment under the stairs made especially for the little people, complete with a cozy bed, table and lamp, a few toys and books! Upstairs there is one bedroom with a king bed, another with a queen, and the third bedroom housing a queen and a double bed. The decor and comfort of the premium bedding will delight you! Enjoy the large closets, dressers, alarm clocks, extra blankets and pillows, fans, luggage racks, and classy bed coverings. We get rave reviews about the comfort of our mattresses! Take a hot bath in the upstairs claw foot tub and soak in the amazing views of the Crazy Mountains through the picture window. All bedrooms and bathroom have double hung windows and wooden slat shades that darken rooms and give privacy. Bowmore cabin has three amazing porches. Each porch is fitted with outdoor furniture, be it rockers, tables and chairs, or recliners. Each porch affords a different view and mood. The front porch is covered, facing the Crazies, the back deck is considered the sun deck(with a great wind-sensor automatic awning that helps you dictate the amount of sun), and the side porch is especially good for either watching the glorious sunsets or tucking away from the occasional Montana wind that might blow through. We have a laundry room with washer, dryer and complimentary soap and fabric softener. Some guests prefer to use the breakfast room as an office, taking advantage of our wireless internet and the views of the pond and forest all at the same time. 'Comfortable' is an understatement when describing the Bowmore experience. We welcome you to your home away from home!

About Rob Kaufmann
Rob and Lyndsey have been happily married since 1975. Lyndsey met her Montana man while attending college in Seattle, Washington and both have been delighted to report they married the love of their life! Blessed is an understatement. Two amazing children, a daughter and a son, were born in 1976 and 1979. Now, two granddaughters have added to their joy. Rob has been in many different phases of construction during his job history. He recently sold his very successful garage door business, Kaufmann's Overhead Door. His hard work, character and integrity, along with awesome employees was a brilliant formula for growth. Rob has a gift for wood working and a great artistic eye. The Bowmore cabin has been an on-going project for the last several years and it has given Rob many hours of pleasure to sit with a glass of Bowmore Scotch and survey his accomplishments! It has been very beneficial to have a son that is a construction engineer that also appreciates a good glass of Scotch. Both their son, and Rob's brother, a former electrician, have given them the gift of their talents and their time. Lyndsey has a Master's degree in education, and recently retired from 13 years of teaching elementary school in Bozeman. She misses the magical moments that happened in her fourth and fifth grade classrooms and the relationships built with her students. Lyndsey adores weekly time with her granddaughters, and thinks family is the most amazing gift from God. She thinks that homemaking should be viewed as an art form and therefore has thoroughly enjoyed hunting down the treasures from local antique stores that you see hanging on the Bowmore walls. She loves color and design and is thrilled to decorate any space possible. They are the quintessential 'do-it-yourselfers' and seem to have made a great team in many ways. Rob and Lyndsey sincerely hope you will enjoy their loving labors and they extend to you a warm and hearty Montana welcome.
Rob Kaufmann purchased this cabin in 2004
Why Rob Kaufmann chose Wilsall
Being a Montana man, Rob has always loved the Bozeman area and the Gallatin Valley. It has been home for decades. But, there was something in him that longed for the simplicity and peace of years past, a desire to turn the clock back, to revisit the real Montana. When Rob first viewed this property he realized it showed great potential; the logs walls from the original hunting cabin were definitely intriguing. But he was also impacted by the location. He saw it as the 'heartland' of Montana, set in a valley surrounded by mountain ranges that took your breath away. The air was clean. The stars were unfettered by city lights. The call of the crickets and coyotes carried clearly through the cool, night Rocky Mountain air. It was what he missed from when he was a kid camping out. The surrounding farm area with cattle dotting the fields and hay bales standing as a testimony of good, honest work made it feel like home, like roots. Without being overly dramatic, and being truly honest, there is an unspoken feeling, nearly indescribable, about farmland that captures the heartbeat of our nation. Without this, where would we be? And, Rob wanted a piece of this. He came home and surprised Lyndsey with his announcement, 'I bought a cabin today!' When Lyndsey made that first drive to the cabin and took in the spectacular views of the Crazy Mountains, she understood what had captured the heart of her man. Yep, this is real Montana. What the heck! You have to drive a little way, all the while witnessing some of the state's greatest views, but that's what we came for. Hope you can join us in our place of peace, brilliant stars, and the songs of the night that you just won't experience in the city limits. Breathe deep. It's the scent of life, of history, of real Montana.
What makes this cabin unique
Why did we choose this house? It called to us to unlock the potential it held within. We have described the location that so captivated our hearts, but the interior hung like a dangling participle, like an unfinished sentence. It clearly needed someone to rewrite its story. The Bowmore was originally birthed as a simple little log cabin, used for hunting weekends, for getting together with friends, for camping out, so to speak. In years that followed, it 'morphed' into a house built around the cabin, still longing for more attention. But, the bones were good. The location serene. We knew with the right touch those log walls would sing, the kitchen would nest family and conversations, and great meals. We envisioned the dead-end bedroom transformed into a cheery dining room where friends and family could linger over a cup of coffee. But we must say, besides the log walls, the covered porch called our names. With each season, we have sat on that porch and either watched a gentle snow fall or beheld the power of a mighty thunderstorm with torrents of rain diving off of the metal roof. We have had candle-lit dinners for two or for a pack of family. We have sipped wine, and tea, and scotch as we watch the bright day turn golden with long shadows and the mountains glowing pink. We knew it would be like this. Come look at our photograph album and see evidence of its transformation. Better yet, come live for a few days in the warmth of the log walls, feel the joy of a house redeemed by love. And, don't forget to sit under that covered porch, what ever time of year it may be, and enjoy what nature has planned for you each day. Cheers!

Gloucester ready for defence
ESPNscrum Staff
October 13, 2011
Luke Narraway leads Gloucester in celebrating their Anglo-Welsh Cup triumph last season © Getty Images
Former Sale legend Bryan Redpath has warned his old club to expect no favours as Gloucester prepare to begin the defence of their LV= Cup crown at Kingsholm on Saturday.
The Sharks will travel down to the West Country looking to make it two wins in a week over Redpath's Gloucester, having pipped the Cherry and Whites 13-11 at Edgeley Park in the league last Saturday. With the unique setup of the LV= Cup, Sale find themselves in Pool 2 with Leicester, London Irish and Cardiff Blues but will instead battle it out with the teams from Pool 4, including Gloucester, with the top side from each group then making the semi-finals.
Sale will welcome back a whole host of players from the World Cup, with Tony Buckley and Richie Vernon among the returning Sharks. But it is Redpath's compatriot Alasdair Dickinson, who the Scot is particularly wary of having spent the last four years coaching him down at Kingsholm.
"Alasdair Dickinson was back for them last week and got a bit of time off the bench," said Redpath, who played 80 times for Sale and amassed more than 30 points for the Stockport-based club. "He's a player we know very well - we know what he's capable of.
"With it being a home game last week for Sale, I think it was an easier way to come back into it, and I'm sure he'll be desperate to get back playing regularly for them. He moved on from Gloucester to play some rugby because he felt his opportunities were limited here.
"And Nick Wood has been fantastic for us again this year, but I'm sure Dicko will be desperate to come back here and try to do one over on us - he's a very talented individual. He got one over last weekend so hopefully it won't be 2-0 or I won't be too chirpy."
With several players expected to make their first appearances of the season for the Cherry and Whites after returning from the World Cup, former Scotland scrum-half Redpath insists it will be a transformed team which awaits Sale to kick off the competition.
"I had my views at half-time and at the end of the game last week against Sale. I don't think we showed a real account of ourselves at all," said the Gloucester head coach. "Sale for me will always bring fond memories for us because it's my old club so it was great to see a few guys again, but I was gutted that we didn't perform.
"But it's a new competition for both us and Sale and the key thing is we have five guys coming back from the World Cup [Scott Lawson, Jim Hamilton, Alasdair Strokosch, Rory Lawson and Akapusi Qera] who should all be involved so hopefully the guys coming back in can add a little bit more to us.
"We want to use this weekend as a chance to play with a little less pressure. It's really important to get our game right again but Sale are not an easy side to play against and we know we'll need to be at our best."

We will be hearing a verbal report from Home with Hope, and Tippecanoe County youth will give a presentation on community conditions that influence youth toward drug and alcohol abuse.
November Meeting minutes are now available on our website. Please review them prior to attending the meeting, as paper copies are no longer available.
Know Your Community
One of many areas of need we are focusing on is the problem of prescription drug abuse. To most effectively address this harmful and life-threatening problem we need to understand how it is taking place in our community. We are asking that you would take a few minutes to share what you know is going on in Tippecanoe County. The Data Needed is here.
Another way to better know your community is to have simple conversations with the people you see every day. By asking questions in casual conversation and letting us know what you learn, you will help us in promoting a safer and healthier community where you live! Talking Points here to help you initiate these conversations.

World's Most Nervous Man Bombs Trophy Presentation Following World Series 28 days ago
That was so awkward that you gotta feel bad for the guy.
Baseball is as American as apple pie and progressive tax rates. A game of statistics, baseball can be whittled down into a series of stats and numbers with abbreviations such as: ERA, AB, AVG, RBI, CIA, LOL, and ROFLMAO. Those stats are mere representations the incredible action caught on video. All the greatest single, double, and triple plays, and of course, home runs. The grandest of slams, and the most shocking rushes on the mound, and wonderful baseball injuries are all right here.
That was so awkward that you gotta feel bad for the guy.
This is a much better way to enjoy baseball.
Is it 2014 or is it 1951?
Needless to say, it gets creepy near the end.
Guy wants to score two home runs in the same game.
What the heck is he doing down there?
You couldn't have written a more appropriate end to his career in pinstripe...
Take that, sucka.
This one will make Yankee fans proud and everyone else a little jealous.
Braves Fan, Foul Ball, Face Smack
He has some serious injuries but should be OK.
Dodgers got their name from dodging throws, apparently.
You can just buff that out.
Why wait for the play to happen before calling it?
That was worse than 50 cent.
Can't catch with your phone in your hand.
This needs to be in a movie!

Amazing the dude wasn't seeing stars and chickadees.

Tom Willis born with no arms throws the first pitch at the Royals game.
You hate to see that happen to an innocent beverage.

At least robots can't feel boredom.

Looks like a play right out of little league.

Dennis Rees: 'Food Just Cooked'
Date: March 16, 2011
by: Molly Schechter | Food Editor
At a time when the food world is agog about the six-volume, 40-pound "Modernist Cuisine," which celebrates the current rage for highly technical, laboratory-inspired cooking, Dennis Rees' approach is as appealing as it is contrarian. It is as basic as buy quality and cook respectfully.
Rees' favorite cookbook is Tom Colicchio's "Think Like a Chef." He likes it not for recipes but for its approach. "The first chapters," Rees says, "teach you technique. Next, how to select food. The whole idea is that if you know techniques and how to buy food, you can go to the grocery store, find something fresh and good and create a meal any night of the week."
The meal Rees created for Diversions' Edibles epitomizes his philosophy. It consists of an oven-roasted rack of veal, sautéed broccoli rabe and roasted potatoes. There is a total of only 10 ingredients in the three recipes. The veal tastes like veal. The broccoli rabe is cooked to sweetness and the potatoes are crisp on the outside and as soft as mashed potatoes within. There are no tricks, no illusions, no nothing except "food just cooked" beautifully.
Rees got interested in cooking when he lived in Chicago and served as a helper to his brother-in-law, Gene Servillo, of nearby Evanston, whom he describes as "a gourmet Italian chef." He is completely self-taught and an enthusiast of flavored sea salts, which appear in these recipes. Rees says there is a big difference between table salt and sea salt, the latter being much less of a health risk: "Table salt is stripped of all its mineral content except sodium; sea salt has lots of minerals including potassium, which counteracts the negative effects of too much sodium."
Rees' primary source for sea salts is Whole Foods. He shops at Morton's for meat and fish, and likes their tomatoes and Brussels sprouts. He buys those tomatoes a few days in advance and leaves in a plastic bag on the counter two to three days to get juicy. He goes to Publix for other stuff and particularly likes their Attitude brand greens mixes.
Rees' approach to salad is consistent with his overall philosophy: simplicity reigns. He doesn't make dressing and serves his mixes of greens and veggies with cruets of oil (grapeseed is his favorite) and vinegar. Appetizers are "Felice's department," he says, referring to his wife, Felice Schulaner. Dessert is a non-starter; he doesn't eat it.
Rees' kitchen is in a 1963 Tim Siebert-designed ranch home on Siesta Key. He and Schulaner bought it in 2003 and used it for long weekends and holidays, until she retired from her position as senior vice president, Human Resources, at Coach leather goods in 2006. Rees still works for RedVision, which provides real estate data to title companies and banks. He works from a home office only a few steps from his kitchen. Rees and Schulaner rehabbed the home, which took more than a year, and included a whole new kitchen. About all that was left of the original interior was some handsome mottled glass which now serves as sliding cabinet doors in the kitchen.
Rees says that what he likes best about cooking is "the entertaining part; eating with family and friends." It must be a highly coveted invitation.
Rack of Veal Rees
Serves 6
Two veal racks of three chops each (approx. 5 pounds total)
¼ cup shelled pistachio nuts
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon Artisan Trapani Sicilian Sea Salt
*Rees says "two pinches." A pinch is typically considered 1/8 teaspoon.
Have butcher French the ends of the chop bones and wrap each bone in foil.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Combine nuts, herbs, salt and oil and grind into a paste in a mini-food processor.
Sear meat in a non-stick pan over medium/high heat for a minute or two, one rack at a time, to seal and brown all sides. Brush paste all over. Position in a roasting pan so bones are interlaced in center and roast for 35 minutes or until an instant meat thermometer reads 120°. Remove from oven, tent with foil and let rest 20 minutes for juices to recede before carving into individual chops to serve.

El cierre temporal del gobierno ha estado acaparando la atención del país, y aunque continúan las negociaciones para resolver esta crisis, lo cierto es que se siembran más dudas sobre la economía a medida que se acerca límite de la deuda ("debt ceiling"). Imagínate qué pasaría si el gobierno tuviera qué decidir a quién pagarle primero: ¿el Seguro Social a los jubilados o los fondos al programa de Medicare? Esto es lo que podría suceder, según la Casa Blanca, si …

Some journalists, as the saying goes, speak truth to power. Helen Thomas made power squirm. White House correspondent Thomas, who died on July 20 at age 92 in Washington, D.C., covered every president from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama over more than five decades. She was inquisitive – and an inquisitor. "I think that presidents deserve to be questioned, maybe irreverently, most of the time, [to] bring 'em down a size," she explained in an HBO documentary about her life. And …

Just a few months ago, President Obama and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill negotiated their way off the fiscal cliff and agreed to make the estate tax a mere shadow of its former self – so much so, according to estimates from the Tax Policy Center, that only 3,800 estates will owe any federal estate tax in 2013. President Obama's new budget proposal, however, aims to turn things back around. It would raise the estate tax rate to 45 percent …

Yesterday, the President included Social Security cuts in his budget through a proposal called the "chained CPI". Let's take a minute and break down exactly what that means: The chained CPI would modify the way the cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) for Social Security is calculated, cutting benefits by $127 billion dollars over the next 10 years alone. That comes out to over $2000 in lost benefits for the average senior. Some have tried to defend this unprecedented inclusion of Social Security benefit …

This week AARP highlights the financial losses veterans would face if a COLA cut known as Chained or Superlative CPI ever became law. It seemed unlikely that after setting such a different agenda, rumors would still persist that the President wants to cut benefits for children, veterans, people with disabilities, widows, and older Americans in his budget. If the President also thinks that making such a proposal doesn't doom his chances to win the House back from GOP control, we …

Maybe the most surprising thing about President Obama's wining and dining of GOP lawmakers is the fact that it's surprising. Socializing that crossed party boundaries once was the lubricant that greased political compromise in Washington. In recent years, though, lawmakers have been spending much more time back in their home districts, which means they have less time to get to know their colleagues in Washington. And the polarization of politics has led to less two-party partying. Obama drew lots of …

Girard College
Stephen Girard Was No Racist
May 15, 1998
On Founder's Day tomorrow, Girard College will celebrate its founder's 248th birthday and the school's 15Oth anniversary. What should be a gala year may be tarnished by the poor image of Stephen Girard. A recent series in another newspaper encouraged the notion that Girard was a racist and the school institutionally racist. The facts do not support these assumptions. Girard's first encounter with racial controversy was during the Revolutionary War. He fitted out one of his vessels as a privateer to capture black slaves from the enemy.
The iron wills of Stephen Girard and Albert Barnes face changing times
October 13, 2002
By Peter Binzen
He was strong-willed and public-spirited, a wealthy man with concern for those less fortunate. He was determined to have an impact on future generations, and he did just that. His legacy to the Philadelphia region is a marvelous institution with few peers. But he had his quirks. He laid down very specific rules for the operation of and admission to his institution. And because of his unyielding stance, his executors found it difficult to adjust to social and economic changes as time went by. What resulted was ugly infighting that the founder surely would have detested.
A 'Berlin Wall' Crumbles In His Will, Stephen Girard Provided For Orphaned White Boys. The 14th Amendment, Though, Guarantees Equal Protection. The Question Arose: Was Girard College Public Or Private?
May 1, 1991
By Martha Woodall, Inquirer Staff Writer
In August 1965, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood outside the high stone walls encircling Girard College in the city's Fairmount section. "It is a sad experience to stand at this wall in the 20th century in Philadelphia, the cradle of liberty," Dr. King told 3,000 demonstrators massed outside the school Stephen Girard established in the 19th century to educate orphaned white boys. "It is a kind of Berlin Wall to keep the colored children of God out. " Three years later, the racial barriers fell, and four black students enrolled in the free boarding school for elementary and secondary students.

September 20, 1996
Members of Teamsters Local 628, mostly drivers for the Philadelphia Daily News and the Inquirer, picketed Girard College yesterday on behalf of 75 employees - women who cook, serve meals, clean and do laundry for the students.

Girard Is Worthy Of This Honor
September 29, 1998
There has long been a passion among members of the Girard College alumni to honor our foster father, Stephen Girard. The Girard College Alumni Association has been attempting to have the U.S. Postal Service issue a commemorative stamp in his honor. In the long history of deserving Americans who have received proper acclaim in this manner, Girard has been wrongfully denied a place among them. A process was begun 67 years ago in the House and Senate to honor Stephen Girard with a series of commemorative postage stamps in observance of the 100th anniversary of his death.
Graves to step down as Girard College president
April 4, 2012
By Kristen A. Graham, Inquirer Staff Writer
Autumn Adkins Graves, the first African American and first female president of Girard College, will leave the historic school in June, she said Tuesday. Graves, 39, presided over a difficult stretch for the private North Philadelphia boarding school founded by the 19th-century merchant-banker Stephen Girard for orphan boys. Serious money problems forced the school to enroll fewer students, lay off staff, and end a weekend residential program. Graves said family concerns led to her decision to step down.
He Believed In Religion, Not Coercion
April 29, 1999
Many historians dismiss Stephen Girard as a robber baron, a misanthrope, a miser and worse, a godless man without religious values. A clause in his will may have been the source of this unfounded notion. Girard willed most of his money to found a boarding school for poor children. Insisting that their minds be open and free, he set some conditions. The most controversial was barring all clergy. But Girard's restriction of the clergy was widely misinterpreted. "I do not mean to cast any reflection upon any sect," he explained, "but, as there is such a multitude of sects, and such a diversity of opinion . . . I desire to keep the tender minds of the orphans . . . free from the excitements which clashing doctrine and sectarian controversy are apt to produce.
Raising the profile of Phila.'s Girard
December 6, 2011
By Steven Rea, Inquirer Movie Critic
As the title of the new film says: "Stephen Girard: A Philadelphia Legacy. " Girard (1750-1831) was the fourth-wealthiest man in American history. He saved the nation from bankruptcy during the War of 1812. He was instrumental in the development and expansion of Philadelphia's port. And, with the millions Girard left in his estate, he created a true Philadelphia institution: Girard College. Established in 1831 and opened on the first day of 1848, the boarding school was conceived by the French-born naturalized American as a place for poor, fatherless white boys to get an education.

April 21, 2007
By Gayle Ronan Sims, Inquirer Staff Writer
Marie Hicks, who in 1965-66 led thousands of pickets, including the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., around the wall that stood between two of her sons and entry into Girard College because they were black, died Thursday of complications of Parkinson's disease at Willow Terrace in Germantown. She was 83 and lived in Germantown. The 10-foot wall and what it symbolized at Girard College inspired one of the most dramatic civil rights confrontations in Philadelphia history. "Mrs. Hicks was our Rosa Parks," Girard president Dominic M. Cermele said yesterday.
Here Lies A Tombstone Controversy
May 21, 1994
by Ron Avery, Daily News Staff Writer
Why shouldn't the insane wife of America's richest man have, at least, a tombstone to commemorate her existence? This thought has obsessed retired federal worker Joseph Vendetti of South Philadelphia for more than two years. Recently, a granite tombstone for Mary Lum Girard, who died in 1815, was completed. But officials at Pennsylvania Hospital, where the wife of Stephen Girard is buried, refuse to allow the small monument on the grounds. The 200-pound tombstone sits in the window of DeChristopher Brothers Memorial Co. on Passyunk Avenue near 12th Street.

LETTERS - Sept. 5

ISSUE | ARTS FUNDING Board members, bring on the bucks Perhaps it takes an outsider like Michael Kaiser to finally tell the truth to Philadelphia's philanthropic community ("Seeing a way to the future," Aug. 29). The fault is not in the audience or the critics or the stars. It is in constrained budgets that hamper artistic creativity, the lack of endowment funding, and the failure to cultivate individual donors. Indeed, in the interview, Kaiser calls out ineffective boards of directors and enumerates precisely the problems that have kept many of Philadelphia's distinguished arts institutions teetering on the edge of insolvency.
Judge rules Girard alumni have no say on cutbacks
January 31, 2014
By Martha Woodall, Inquirer Staff Writer
A Philadelphia Orphans' Court judge on Wednesday said a group that includes Girard College alumni, parents, and students does not have the legal right to object to Girard's plans to end its high school and boarding programs. Administrative Judge Joseph D. O'Keefe denied the group's request to intervene. He held two days of hearings on the petitioners' request in November. "We're disappointed in the outcome, but at the same time, we're gratified we got a chance to be heard," said Joseph Samuel, president of the 3,000-member Girard College Alumni Association.

Annette John-Hall: Dr. King's contribution at Girard College
January 12, 2013
By Annette John-Hall, Inquirer Columnist
Despite his lifelong quest for integration, justice, and equality, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said life's "most urgent and persistent question is, what are you doing for others?" Service was indeed the hallmark of Dr. King's abbreviated life. I was reminded of that the other day at Girard College. Volunteers will gather Jan. 21 at Girard to join in 1,500 community-service projects for the 18th annual Martin Luther King Day of Service. An expected 110,000 volunteers, in fact, which would be a national record for any volunteer effort connected with Martin Luther King's Birthday.
In Girard College, a collection of letters from key people of early America

By Alfred Lubrano, Inquirer Staff Writer
Elizabeth Laurent works in white gloves to keep the past pure. "I touch history," said the woman whose job is to handle letters written by the men who invented America. "I have my fingers in things of the past. " As director of historic resources at Girard College, Laurent presides over 100,000 documents connected to college founder Stephen Girard - the 18th- and 19th-century banker, merchant, and philanthropist who was one of the young United States' richest men. Respectful of the slender slices of history in her covered hands, Laurent, 52, minds her finger oils and preserves the Girard papers in 288 boxes, 23 huge books, and numerous display cases.

PhillyDeals: Girard investments recover, but school still shrinks
October 30, 2011
By Joseph N. DiStefano, Inquirer Staff Writer
Stephen Girard , early Philadelphia's self-made millionaire global trader, energy and transport pioneer, war financier, and vegan slaveholder, left most of his $10 million fortune to the city, so it could build Delaware Avenue, hire cops, and fund other public projects - especially the Girard College for orphans. The good news is that Girard's legacy, managed by pros hired by Philadelphia's Board of City Trusts, grew a little last year, to $515 million from $486 million. The bad news is, the school this is supposed to be funding continues to shrink.
