Mailbox Delivery

I came into the house bearing two take-and-bake pizzas, a gallon of O.J., a dozen-and-a-half eggs, and the video "Rope." As I plopped the things on the table, and my husband walked over to help me put the stuff away, I noticed the mail resting there. And lo! behold! It was Volume 79, Issue 1 of the University of Colorado Law Review!

So very, very cool. Congratulations to all the Editors and Members of Volume 79. Well done!

I'm so glad you are almost done with Law School! If I were you, I'd pat myself on the back every single day for a long time about that. I don't think that last sentence made sense . . . anyway, hooray!

  PART 8: The Six Young Ladies in the Middle Young Adult Mennonite Group Attends  Farmington Chautauqua, August 1910 By Elizabeth Hervey Osborn Part 1  --   Part 2  --  Part 3  --  Part 4  --  Part 5  --  Part 6  -- Part 7 -- Part 8 The youngest attendees were the four close friends clustered at the center of the middle row. With two older ladies at the ends of their row, it is almost as though their older cousins were protectively surrounding them.   In this last installment, I present here a closer look at their remarkable lives. Dora Katherine Krebill 1886-1972 (4HB, FamilySearch K4GQ-QK4. Find-a-Grave 1160127272) Twenty-three year old Dora was Walter’s older sister, born to Joseph Krebill and Selma Magdalena Weber in 1886 near Donnellson Iowa.  Marriage would not be in Dora's future, but family was everything to her. For decades she helped organize and gather her Krebill cousins - descendants o...

  PART 3: Chautauqua -- The Original TED Talk [ 1] Young Adult Mennonite Group Attends Farmington Chautauqua, August 1910 By Elizabeth Hervey Osborn Part 1  --   Part 2  --  Part 3  -- Part 4 -- Part 5 -- Part 6 -- Part 7 -- Part 8 “The most American thing in America,” Teddy Roosevelt supposedly said [2] , was the Chautauqua Movement. Before the days of internet, television, radio, and moving pictures, rural folk had a strong appetite for more knowledge on important cultural, political, and philosophical matters of the day.

At the turn of the 20 th century more people lived in Farmington [1] than in the county seat [2] sixteen miles upriver, its prominence fueled by the modern electric light plant, woolen mill, pants factories, flour mills, repair shops, coal mines, quarries, and several vinegar and pickle factories, in addition to the general agriculture of the region. [3] Two passenger and freight lines intersected downtown. The Chicago, Burlington, and Quincy Railroad (the “Burlington Route”) served routes east and west. The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad (the “Rock Island”) ran ...
