Born in 1934, Vernon P. Woodward was an Episcopal priest at Church of the Advent in Cincinnati, Ohio when he was arrested for his participation in the Prayer Pilgrimage Freedom Ride in 1961. As part of the pilgrimage, Woodward, along with fourteen other Episcopal clergymen, traveled from New Orleans, Louisiana to Jackson, Mississippi where he and the others were arrested in the Trailways terminal on 13 September 1961.

Cincinnatian 1 Of 15 Pastors Freed In South
Rev. Vernon P. Woodward of Cincinnati was among 15 Episcopal ministers who were freed of breach-of-the-peace charges yesterday in Jackson, Miss. The bi-raclal group of ministers had been fined and sentenced to four-month jail terms after attempting to desegregate a bus station restaurant last fall. The group, which Included a son-in-law of New York’s Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, had spent only a few days in jail following arrest. Rev. Mr. woodward resigned as curate at the Church of the Advent, Walnut Hills, last September to join the pilgrimage which landed him in jail. Charges were dropped against the ministers “out of respect and admiration for the Episcopal Church and the Mississippi Episcopal churchmen,” according to the prosecution in Jackson.

Born in Chicago, Fran Larsen grew up on the south end of Lake Michigan where she learned about the “construction” of the land from an uncle who was a glacial geologist. She also drew at an early age, encouraged by her grandmother who displayed her drawings. After graduating magna cum laude with a BA from Michigan State University, she studied at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts and at Hope College, Holland, MI. In 1980, she moved to New Mexico.
 Larsen’s paintings reflect her response to New Mexico’s "geological grandeur and vibrant cultures.Paintings are not windows onto the world, they are reflections of who you are. That’s why I started carving and painting my frames". Her frames are inspired by travel in Mexico and by the carved and painted vigas in the NM Art Museum’s St. Francis Auditorium. She designs and carves each frame to complement the painting it surrounds, and to reassert that the painting is an object — what she calls self talk, or an intensely personal dialogue between what she sees and what she feels—not a representation of the buildings and landscapes in them. Larsen is represented by Manitou Gallery, Santa Fe.

Born “Louis Streeter Macbrien”, he changed his name in “Louis Packard Streeter” (reason: unknown, date: before 1900)

Remarks by Captain Courtney Sugai
U.S. Army
May 31, 2005.

It is an honor to be here at the Vietnam Women’s Memorial to pay my respects to the veterans of past and present wars. It is an honor to be in the presence of brave men and women who have fought for our country and our way of life.

I grew up on the island of Kaua’i in a close knit family. My family was what we in Hawaii call a "mixed-plate," with ancestral ties to Ancient Hawaii, China, England, Germany, and the mid-western United States. As a child, I learned early on that I was the product of generations of migrants who had come from all over the world. How do you define such a variety of backgrounds coming together? Our pot pourri of culture could be summed up in one word, "American."

I never really thought about it as a child or even as a young adult. I had loving parents and grandparents, I lived on a beautiful island where everyone in the community was like family. I was free, and I was safe. I never thought that what I had was anything special, and I never feared that it could be taken away. I took it for granted.
For my whole life, I was told that I was lucky to be an American and to live in a free country. I was told that freedom wasn’t free, and that my grandfathers on both sides had fought in World War II and my father in Vietnam. All to give me a good life. To give me a good life, I thought? To give me freedom? These ideas were abstract, and I never came to understand them until years later.

My father believed that everyone should serve. Whether it was military service, the Peace Corps, or public service, somehow, you would give something back. My father also told me that women from Kaua’i were known for being tough and had been strong warriors in the days of ancient Hawai‘i. So, as a freshman in college, I asked myself, how was I going to give serve. I enrolled in Army ROTC. Although my husband, brother, father, and grandfathers had all been in the military, I did not grow up in a military atmosphere. I did not watch war movies, and I was not interested in reading about them. At the time, I made a living dancing the hula on a dinner cruise for tourists. The military life was not something that came naturally. How in the world was I going to be an officer? I never really planned on staying in ROTC. I was going to try it, I probably wouldn’t like it, and I would most likely drop out after one semester.

Then, I met a woman named Major Kathy Schlimm. MAJ Schlimm had all the qualities of a true leader. She was tough, smart, and dedicated to her cadets and the Army. She managed to balance her professional life as a soldier with marriage and motherhood. She was like a mother to her cadets, the kind of mother that teaches you right from wrong, picks you up when you fall, and beams with pride when you succeed. She dedicated herself to the profession of arms and to training the future leaders of the Army. She didn’t do it for the money. And, she did not do it for recognition. She did it because she loved soldiers and she loved her country.

So, when the opportunity to drop out of ROTC came, I did not. I stayed in, got knee deep in Army training. I was afraid that I would not amount to much as a soldier. But, I had to try my best. There were so many opportunities out there for me, opportunities that were not there for my mother and grandmothers. The women who served in Vietnam were so much braver than I was. The decision to join the Army and go to Vietnam were choices that women of that era did not have to make. When it would have been completely acceptable to stay home where it was safe, they chose to do something that was larger than themselves, and go to war. Women were fighting for rights at home in America, and yet these courageous women, took an extra step, and went to Vietnam. The men and women who went to Vietnam fulfilled an obligation to serve our country to advance the cause of freedom. Yet, so much of what they did was unappreciated, and so many of them were condemned by fellow Americans.

So, why did they go to war? The reasons for going to war are not easily defined. If I were asked why I went to war, I would answer: I chose the profession of arms because I love my country. The decision to go to war was made. I am a soldier, and I will willingly do my duty. I don’t mean to imply that my response was robotic. I want to believe that I went for the right reasons. And now that I have served in Afghanistan and Iraq, I know that I helped advance the cause of freedom. I saw people there who were so desperate to have just a little piece of what we have. Men would stand in line for days at the front gate of our base camp, just for the chance to earn four dollars, a meal, and a bottle of clean water for a full days work. The majority of the people I met were seeking what I always thought of as the simple things in life. Now, the people of Iraq and Afghanistan have the right to vote, the right to pursue an education, and freedom to practice their religion.

The soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan sacrificed their lives to give others freedom. These brave soldiers come from all branches of the military and perform various duties. Brave soldiers, like my cousin, Infantry Platoon Leader, First Lieutenant Nainoa Hoe, and my friends, Maintenance Officer, Captain Pierre Piche, blackhawk pilot Second Lieutenant Jeremy Wolfe, and the Sergeant First Class Kelly Bolor, our Laundry and Bath Platoon Sergeant. Now, my husband and I are both home from the war, and my brother and brother-in-law are serving in the Middle East. When I think of all them, the soldiers who have died, and those who continue the fight, I am comforted to know that the people of Afghanistan and Iraq are beginning to taste the fruits of freedom.

So, when I think back to my childhood, and my parents telling me that my freedom did not come without sacrifice, I can truly say that I understand. I am so grateful to all who have served so that I can be free, and I hope that by serving in the Army, I can someday be worthy of their sacrifice.

Source : Center Blog - Bir Jdid / Saint Hubert :
 La petite ville de Bir Jdid a été connue comme Saint Hubert quand le Maroc était sous le protectorat de la France, elle est située de 45 kilomètres de sud de Casablanca, et à 50 kilomètres au nord d’EL Jadida. Son climat est modéré et humide grâce à sa situation près de la côte atlantique à environ quatorze kilomètres. Elle a été fondée pour être une place d’assemblée des chasseurs.
 Bir Jdid s’est appelé ainsi parce que Bir (puits) et Jdid (nouveau) est la combinaison des mots (nouveau puits), au moment où Mharza (un des indigènes originaux de Bir Jdid) a creusé un nouveau puits où les gens pourraient arroser en bas de leurs bêtes et remplir au jet leurs récipients.
 La plupart des activités communes des indigènes sont l’agriculture et commerce.

Commentaire de El haddad Abdelkader le 11 janvier 2015 :
 Bir Jdid était au départ une halte de diligence entre Casablanca et Mazagan (actuellement El Jadida). La Halte Saint Hubert, aujourd hui disparue, était un restaurant tenu par une famille française avec une station d’essence Mobil. Outre la cuisine très appréciée à l’époque, c’était aussi un point de vente des tickets de la CTM en direction de Casablanca, Azemmour et El jadida. Un deuxième restaurant était tenu par Mme Orsa au côté opposé près de la maison cantonnière.
 Sur la route menant a Sidi Said Benmaachou se trouvait un boucher et en face de lui était la boulangerie de M. Recoin sur la route menant à El Oulja. Bir Jdid Chavent était un point de ralliement des chasseurs mais aussi un point de ravitaillement en eau potable pour les populations autochtones.
 Les familles marocaines aisées de l’époque se réduisaient à quelques unités (les deux Ben Brahim haj et Ahmed, le cheikh Réguet et le Mokademm Benarafa à El Oulja). Les autres familles étaient des artisans (maçons : Boutayeb et Mounir), des petits commerçants (Taibi), un meunier (Azzar), des fellahs (El Haddad).
 En 1952, nous étions 11 élèves dont une seule fille (Zahra) inscrits à l’école rurale de Bir Jdid qui comptait trois instituteurs (le couple Devidas et un enseignant de langue arabe, Aguida puis Makroum). L’école française était située dans le collège actuel et ne communiquait pas avec l’autre institution. La géographie mais aussi les habitudes ont beaucoup évolué avec l’avènement de l’indépendance du pays.

CLOPPER, HENRY GEORGE, office holder, banker, and magistrate; b. 25 April 1792 in Kingsclear Parish, N.B., son of Garret Clopper and Penelope Miller; m. 9 Feb. 1820 Mary Ann Ketchum in Woodstock, N.B., and they had two daughters; d. 4 Nov. 1838 in Fredericton.

Henry George Clopper’s father was a New York loyalist of Dutch descent who had served with the provincial forces during the American revolution and who held minor civil offices in New Brunswick; his mother’s family were genteel Massachusetts loyalists, with a connection to the family of Edward Winslow*. After attending Fredericton Academy and serving some time as an apprentice to a Halifax merchant, Henry became a clerk in the commissariat department at Fort Cumberland (near Sackville, N.B.) in 1813. He worked for the commissariat in various places at least until 1818, being for a time in charge of the depot at Presque Isle. That he remained in employment when military establishments were reduced after the War of 1812 may have been in part due to the influence of his mother’s brother-in-law, Harris William Hailes, administrator of New Brunswick in 1816–17 and afterwards aide-de-camp to Lieutenant Governor George Stracey Smyth*.

Clopper was appointed in February 1821 to succeed his father as registrar of deeds and wills for York County. On his father’s death in July 1823 he also replaced him in the offices of sergeant-at-arms of the House of Assembly and county clerk. Small official plums would continue to come his way, among them the post of sub-collector of customs for Fredericton in 1831. Late in 1837 he gave up the office of county clerk, whose duties included that of acting as prosecutor, and became a justice of the peace and a judge of the Inferior Court of Common Pleas. There were few community endeavours in which Clopper was not involved. In 1822 he was one of the commissioners for erecting an almshouse and workhouse in Fredericton and he served on its board for many years. He was also clerk of the vestry of the parish church, first secretary of the Fredericton Savings Bank when it was founded in 1824, and secretary and treasurer of the Fredericton Library. In 1825 he became a founding member of the Central Committee of Relief for the Miramichi Fire, and the following year he was made one of the commissioners for the allocation of the funds it collected.

A significant event in Clopper’s public career was his participation in the census of 1824. Not only was he responsible, as county clerk, for coordinating the census in York, but he was chosen by the provincial secretary, William Franklin Odell, to compile the total returns for the colony and to report to the assembly. Census takers, who were selected by the justices of the peace, recorded population numbers by sex, colour, and age (above or under 16 years), as well as numbers of families, occupied and unoccupied houses, and new houses being built. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the figures for the colony that Clopper compiled was compromised by a few late returns from remote areas and by the failure of two counties to assess the numbers employed in lumbering operations. In 1825 Archdeacon George Best* estimated the population to be 79,176, or 5,000 more than the figure shown in the assembly’s published report.

In 1834 Clopper became the first president of the Central Bank of New Brunswick, located in Fredericton. It was incorporated that year by a legislature which had recently shown itself entirely unreceptive to efforts of a group of Saint John merchants to launch a second bank in that city [see John McNeil Wilmot]. The ease with which the Central Bank’s promoters received legislative sanction was likely owing to the fact that their institution, by virtue of its location and its modest size (the initial authorized capital being only £15,000), posed no threat to the virtual monopoly of the Bank of New Brunswick, founded in Saint John in 1820. It may have helped that Charles Simonds*, an important figure in the Bank of New Brunswick and one of the most powerful politicians in the province, was Clopper’s brother-in-law. Clopper’s involvement with the Central Bank led to an association with other business enterprises; one was the Nashwaak Mill and Manufacturing Company, of which he became a director, along with James Taylor* and others, in 1836.

Clopper was an obstinate man who appears to have been lacking in warmth and generosity. A dispute with a maternal uncle over the sum of £35 disrupted the family in 1830. It also involved Clopper in a confrontation with lawyer George Frederick Street*, and in 1834 the public was treated to an exchange of incivilities in the correspondence columns of the New-Brunswick Courier between these two scions of the loyalist aristocracy. Clopper was nevertheless a man of significant abilities. When he died the Royal Gazette’s obituary referred to the “clear and powerful intellect” that had “enabled him to undertake and to perform duties of such varied kind and character, as will render it a matter of extreme difficulty to supply his place in this community.” Years afterwards the People’s Bank of New Brunswick honoured him by placing his portrait on its five-dollar notes. Since he had had no sons and his only brother had died in 1819, the Clopper name continued to be known in New Brunswick chiefly through the career of his wife’s nephew Henry George Clopper Ketchum*.
