We the sisters of St. Scholastica Monastery in Fort Smith, Arkansas, have a statue of St. Scholastica on our former academy building. She was initially facing west until her removal from that section of the building to accommodate a breezeway for the junior gymnasium in 2001. Just today 11/2/15 the Jogerst statue of St. Scholastica was returned to the building but she now faces north. She is 4.5 tons and 14 feet tall. She is an amazing work which is a treasure to our sisters and alumnae. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352946748483976992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391924222415852928.post-75020186851810886572012-12-17T11:31:28.076-08:002012-12-17T11:31:28.076-08:00I was amazed to learn that some 300 German POWs we...I was amazed to learn that some 300 German POWs were housed in a former CCC camp in the Forest Preserve just South of Euclid Rd., near the Des Plaines River in Des Plaines. <br /><br />They were apparently very well treated by the nearby farmers and businessmen (many of the German-Americans) for whom they worked. <br /><br />I'm going to try to locate the site of the former "Camp Pine" to see if any remnants of it exist.The Chicago Schlager Music Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09594031283737265166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391924222415852928.post-41553922222369290282012-09-19T15:27:10.045-07:002012-09-19T15:27:10.045-07:00I would very much enjoy the transcript.

It is the only city of ndia where diamond industry has grown up. More or less 250,000 workers work over here daily . In the year 2005 this industry cut 95% of the world's diamond pieces and earned India $15 billion in exports. By the 1970s Surat-based diamond cutters began exporting stones to the US for the first time. Though much of the polishing work takes place on small weight stones, Surat's diamond businessmen have set their eyes on the lucrative market for finishing larger, pricier stones in the future. According to ‘Wall Street journal’,80% of the world's finished diamonds are cut and polished in this city.bhavnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803211742930001505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391924222415852928.post-16860624693367146422010-10-17T11:26:47.639-07:002010-10-17T11:26:47.639-07:00My grandfather worked at the Stewartstown POW camp...My grandfather worked at the Stewartstown POW camp.

He had a great influence on my life as well as many other boys and girls at that time and he will always hold a special place in my heart. I went on trips with Wendell, participated in Youth Basketball, Hi-Y and many other YMCA activities. I remember the trip to the Hi-Y Tri-Hi-Y Leaders Congress called Blue Ridge Assembly located in Black Mountain, North Carolina in 1958. This was where the YMCA's in the south had their youth assembly. I went to Camp Grist as a Junior Counselor in 1959 which was the first year Wendell became the Camp Director along with Paul Grist. I was on the staff with Wendell during his nine years as director serving as a Junior Counselor, Senior Counselor and during the summers of my college days at Auburn University I was the Camp Grist Waterfront Director. I would not take anything for growing up in Selma, Alabama and having known Wendell Parrish and being associated with the Selma YMCA. Wendell was the main reason after college that I went into YMCA work and was the Program Director at The Paul M. Grist YMCA and Camp Director at Camp Grist. <br /><br />Many GREAT momories and I appreciate the opportunity to express my love and appreciation to Wendell.Bill Porterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484432521498003582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391924222415852928.post-7600360722800957022010-01-23T12:02:53.564-08:002010-01-23T12:02:53.564-08:00Dear "Brutus,"

His work is exceptional. What I find intriguing is the fact that he came from the village of Wagshurst, in northern Baden. In the mid 1800s, roughly 30 to 40 families from Wagshurst, comprising 180 or so individuals, settled in Jasper, which is only twenty or so miles from St. Meinrad, where Jogerst did much of his work. I wonder if he ever discovered he had so many distant cousins living just a few miles away.Ron Flickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299941611580491593noreply@blogger.com
