A Kiss- One Shot
Oneshot. Bella and Edward meet in the woods. Takes place after Twilight, before New Moon.
1. A Kiss
Rating 4.5/5 Word Count 1463 Review this Chapter
I walked through the woods with my eyes down, mindful of my steps. I'd been through this patch of forest enough to know that the roots dangerously sticking out of the ground were more harmful to me than the branches near my head. Edward made sure to clear them out as much as possible during the many times we walked this path.
Just thinking his name brought such redness to my cheeks that it only made me want to blush more. And with "Edward" and "we" in the same sentence, I become nearly breathless. Even with all of the time we have spent together, I still find it so difficult to believe that he could actually love me.
The past few months have felt like a dream. After we got back from Phoenix and summer started, Edward and I were nearly inseparable, much to Charlie's dismay. We spent most of our time at his house with his family. But sometimes we would slip off to our meadow, the only place we can really be alone. We could spend hours there together without talking and, yet, still feel so connected.
I stopped abruptly when I felt myself slam into something hard. I started to fall backwards and moved to brace myself, but I was caught and pulled upright again before I could hit the ground. As I was trying to pull myself together and figure out what I had run into, I heard a low, breathy chuckle.
I looked up and my eyes found Edward's face, his signature crooked smile splashed there in such a way that made me furious and weak in the knees at the same time.
"Careful," he murmured and it became increasingly difficult to hold onto that frustration.
I took a step back to give myself a little breathing room and I looked into his eyes, ready to scold him for startling me and laughing at me. Any fight left in me disappeared as his butterscotch eyes stared back into mine.
He held his arms out to me and I went to him without a thought, needing to be in his arms. He gently pulled me close, his thin, long-sleeved shirt partially protecting me from his chilling skin. After a few moments, he pulled away from me enough to look down at my face.
"You were supposed to wait for me there," I said, trying to be stern, but failing miserably.
"You were taking too long."
"Well, I can't run 60 miles per hour through trees like you."
He laughed softly again and nodded. "I know. I just got impatient. Forgive me?"
I sighed softly and nodded. "Yes, I suppose so."
My eyes drifted down to his perfectly sculpted lips. I reached up to touch them gently with the tips of my fingers. His light eyes watched me carefully, but I didn't look up at them. I kept my eyes on his lips and watched as they parted, letting his cold breath run over my fingers as he exhaled.
I had the overwhelming urge to tackle him to the ground and force our lips to meet, ending the prolonged agony of waiting for that moment, but I knew that I had to take it slow. I had come to learn that moving too quickly only caused us to hurt. It usually meant several minutes of separation as Edward recomposed himself, unwilling to try and be that close again for the time being.
My eyes flicked up to meet his and he was looking back at me. I felt him slowly leaning in, bracing himself for our touch. I began to move forward as well, letting my eyes close.
Our lips met and the instantaneous thrill I'd grown so accustomed to happening during these occasions nearly made me lose control, but I was becoming more skilled at managing my reactions to our kisses. My hands made their way up his chest and behind his head, my fingers intertwining with the hair at his neck.
I was exceedingly aware of two things: the way his hands held onto my hips as if he were holding on for his life, yet still gentle, and the way his lips began to move against mine with a fervor that I wasn't used to.
Usually, our kisses were a little more than a peck; a kiss that was short enough for him to keep control and long enough for me to lose control. But lately, there was something more there-a passionate intensity that left me breathless and clouded my mind.
I felt his lips part against my own and I froze, concentrating hard on his movements. I felt his tongue reach out tentatively and brush against my lower lip. The breath that I didn't know I was holding rushed out of my mouth and into his.
Trembling, I let my tongue move out of my mouth to touch the tip of his. He gasped now, but didn't pull away like I expected him to.
Instead, he pulled me closer, crushing me to his chest. His tongue became more insistent and I opened my mouth to let him in, needing to feel this closeness with him. For the first time, his tongue explored my mouth. He was eager, yet cautious, mindful to keep control of himself.
I put my tongue against his again, massaging it in a way that made electricity flow through my veins. My hands tugged at his hair and it only encouraged him.
He lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. Our mouths were fighting against each other now-a fierce and loving battle that made my mind foggy. He held me close with one hand on my back, the other at the back of my head.
I felt dizzy and couldn't suppress a moan as it escaped my lips. Suddenly, I was ripped from his body and set onto the ground. I stumbled, my knees too weak to support me, and I felt him catch me and lower me to the ground with lightning speed before stepping away from me.
I worked hard to clear my mind so that I could look up at him and judge his reaction. When I finally opened my eyes, I saw that he was leaning against a tree a few feet away, his head bowed and eyes closed.
I watched him for a few moments, worried that I may have overwhelmed him and destroyed the progress we had made with our intimacy. "Edward?"
It felt like an entire lifetime had passed before he looked up, but he was smiling his crooked smile when he did.
"Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?" he asked as he moved away from the tree. Slowly, he walked over and reached out a hand to me. I took it and he gently lifted me off of the ground and back into his arms.
I nodded and looked up, watching his face carefully for any clues as to how he was really feeling and reacting to the kiss, but found none.
He looked down at me and saw the look of concern on my face. He furrowed his brow, his face filling with worry. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," I said as I shook my head.
He sighed so heavily that it almost came out as a growl. "Bella, you know I hate it when you do that."
I tried hard not to smile at his frustration. "Are you ok?" I asked him, raising my eyebrows.
"I am fine," he replied shortly. I frowned and looked down, put off by the hostility in his voice. His tone quickly changed as he cupped my cheek, raising my face so that our eyes could meet again. "Are you okay?"
I nodded and brought my arms around his neck again. He smiled now and brushed a few stray pieces of hair from my eyes. "These new feelings will just take some getting used to, hm?"
"Yes, I think they will. But I'm willing try. I'm willing to practice every day, if we have to," I said with a sly smile.
He laughed, louder this time, sounding relieved. "You are too intoxicating, Bella Swan."
My smiled turned into a pout and he shook his head at it. His lips met mine again briefly at an attempt to kiss the frown away. He pulled away and looked into my eyes.
"I'll need some time to recover, but I think we should try that again."
"Promise?" I asked.
He nodded with a solemn look on his face, appearing to take the promise very seriously. He held one hand up as if he were taking an oath. "I promise," he said softly, putting his forehead against mine lovingly.
I would be sure to hold him to that promise.

Cool. Original. Affordable. Ready to hang. Welcome.

I achieve these goals by using a combination of, humor, iconology, parody, association and dichotomy, fused and juxtaposed to create high quality drivel.

Student Union Heads for November Opening
The week-end of October 10-11 marks homecoming for Bethel,
meaning float making, parading, decoration, judging, sports, entertain-ment,
seeing old faces, and spiritual fellowship.
Most plans for the event are still in the making, however, Rodney
Erickson, general chairman has given the following general informa-tion:
Registration starts Friday morning, October 11. Most of Friday's
program runs in the vein of entertainment with a special social gather-ing
in the field-house in the evening for the entertaining program
emceed by Cal Edlund, Seminary middleman.
On Saturday noon all building
decoration must be completed and
floats must be lined up in the
parade line. Both will be judged at
1 p.m. A varsity football game is
scheduled in the afternoon against
Northland of Ashlund, Wisconsin,
starting at 2 p.m. Dormitory open
house is at 5 p.m. and a smorgas-bord
will be served in the dining
hall between 5 and 7 p.m.
The Student Council has ruled
that those decorating dormitories
may only spend $25.00 on their
projects and all organizations
sponsoring floats are limited to
$15.00 for materials.
Main speaker for the Saturday
night service of devotion and dedi-cation,
led by the Alumni, is Rev.
Maurice Wessman, pastor in Sioux
Falls, S. D., and Bethel seminary
OSA has found a necessary place
in the echelons of Bethel's grow-ing
student body in assuming a
great share of the responsibilities
formerly handled through the
dean's office. Furthermore, it cen-tralizes
and co-ordinate the entire
scope of the campus student6activi-ties
as laison service between stud-ent
and administrative channels.
For instance: Its services include
files available to all organizations
and faculty, showing interests and
experiences of individual students.
These files are used extensively
by the Student Council and Re-ligious
Council in the selection
of personnel for campus offices
and activities.
Student committees and their ad-visors
make these offices their
headquarters. From time to time
you will find the Christian service
committee busily engaged in map-ping
out gospel team strategy, or
the Student Council social com-mittee
planning school events. The
executive cabinets of the Student
and Religious Councils frequently
meet to evaluate and organize their
plans—immediate and long range.
In essence, this is the student's
office—for YOU.
Now that you have been briefly
introduced to OSA, we hope you
will inquire into its services for
you and thus become acquainted
with the "enw hub" of student ac-tivities.
Mr. E. G. Norstrom, maintain-ance
man on campus, has equipped
the first study table on the east
side of the library with six electric
outlets where students will plug
in the viewers for their study.
Art slides will be kept on file
in the card catalogue for easy
reference. All necessary equipment
for this service has not been in-stalled
yet, but by October 1 this
feature ought to be complete for
operation, according to Miss Axeen.
This service is primarily for stud-ents
in the college art classes, but
is also available to all students
and faculty.
Today is the last day your
picture can be taken for the
1952-53 school annual without
causing you inconvenience. A
photograph studio is set up in
the library of the boys' dormi-tory
and your picture can be
taken if you get over there to-day.
A charge is made of $2.00
to have your picture taken, how-ever,
if you have-been on cam-pus
before and want a former
picture used, a fee of only 50
cents is made. The faculty is
urged to have their picture ar-rangements
made, being at the
same cost.
Five Are Added
To Faculty
Several additions have been made
to the Bethel faculty this year.
The new Assistant Professor in
Chemistry is Dr. David Nelson who
has his Ph. D. degree from the Iowa
State College where he taught be-fore
coming to Bethel.
Dr. Bernard Ramm, Professor in
Philosophy, is returning to Bethel
this year. He received his B. A.
from the University of Washington,
his B.D. from Eastern Baptist Sem-inary,
and a Ph.D. in Philosophy
from the University of Southern
Mr. Paul Grabill, the new Instruc-tor
in English, has his M.A. from
the University of Illinois and is
now working on his Ph.D. Degree
in English.
The voice instructor, Mr. Roger
Bailey, received his B.Sj from the
University of Minnesota and is pre-sently
working on his Master of
Education and Master of Arts de-grees.
In addition to serving as
Instructor in Voice here at Bethel,
Coming to us with his B.S. from
the University of Minnesota, Mr.
William Hauser is the new Instruc-tor
in Spanish.
Council Nominates
Host and Hostess
Candidates Tues.
All candidates for host and
hostess of this year's homecoming
activities will be nominated next
Tuesday evening at the Student
Council meeting, by Council mem-bers.
The following Wednesday
will be student council chapel when
ballots will be passed out and an
election made.
A hot racial and religious issue
faces this year's debate squad. The
national inter-collegiate debate
topic is: "Resolved, that the Con-gress
of the United States should
enact a compulsory fair employ-ment
practice law."
Debate coach, Mr. Paul Grabill, is
out to produce top-notch debaters.
The near 20 on the team meet
every Tuesday evening at 8:00 to
discuss the issue. A promise that
Bethel's best debaters will prob-ably
take in a tournament of con-siderable
distance (maybe the east
or west coast) holds each one at
his best. To test their sharpness a
debate tournament of colleges in
the Twin Cities will be held at
Bethel sometime in November.
Students in the college may still
get into debate, regardless of ex-perience,
if they go to the meet-ings
in room 204 of the college
building on Tuesday evening at
8:00. Those interested are, how-ever,
requested to come out within
the next two weeks.
Ramm Speaks Tuesday
On "Nature of Man"
Dr. Bernard Ramm, of the sem-inary
speaks on the subject, "The
Nature of Man," next Tuesday
evening, September 23, at 8:30 p.m.
in the seminary lounge. The meet-ing
is designed for philosophy stu-dents
of the college and all sem-inary
students. Students in these
departments of the school as well
as all faculty members are invited
to attend.
This meeting is the first of a
series of discussions to be held
throughout the year on subjects re-lated
only to philosophy and theo-logy.
Announcement will be made
of each meeting.

The reward for inconvenience is just around the corner! If all goes
according to schedule, our new student union will be ready for opera-tion
by the middle of November and possibly before.
Steel for the project is due to arrive within the next ten days. Then
the Standard Construction Company of St. Paul takes over for a month
to change the balcony of the old gym into a 71 by 43 foot room, the
home of the first Bethel student union.
After construction is completed Palm Brothers, restaurant sup-pliers
in St. Paul, will supply and install fountain and grill equipment.
Plans okayed by the school board last June call for a soda fountain,
a grill equipped with a French fryer, plus booths to seat at least
eighty-five comfortably. The booths include eight regular size ones, two
extra large ones, plus a few two-seaters, all upholstered.
A loung, 35 feet long and 21 feet wide will be sectioned off on
the southeast corner. The lounge will be furnished with durable hotel-type
upholstered furnishings.
The Bethel bookstore will occupy the southwest corner of the

Clarion Staff Plans
Party Tomorrow Night
Tomorrow evening at 7:30, in the
recreation hall of Edgren dormi-tory,
the Clarion staff and pros-pective
journalists will meet for
a get-acquainted social. Seventy-five
invitations were sent to those
students who indicated a desire to
work on the Clarion in their acti-vities
The evening will include enter-tainment,
a brief outline of pro-cedure
by Editor Roger Hedberg,
and a short talk by Dr. Virginia
Lowell Grabill, Chairman of Beth-el's
English Department, on "Chal-lenge
to Write."
Punch and ice cream along with
recreation and fellowship follows.
New Office of Student Affairs
Will Coordinate Campus Activities
Among the new features of Bethel campus is the newly created
Office of Student Affairs (OSA). Occupying the dean's former office
and the personnel department on the first floor of the college building,
Mr. Elving Anderson serves as Director of Student Affairs and the
Student Health Service, while Mr. Featherstone shares this office as
Director of Christian Service and Student Employment. Mrs. Gordon
Hanstead serves as secretary for both offices.
Library Soon Features Slide
Collection of 900 Paintings
Over 900 reproductions of classic historical paintings will soon be
made available to all students for study in the library. According to
Miss Axeen, head librarian, these reproductions are in the form of
slides to be studied with the aid of slide-viewers which will light up
and magnify the subject. Several slide viewers were recently purchased
by the library and will be checked out to students for use in the library
only. The collection includes painting from the beginnings of recorded
history, through the Renaissance, down to the modern day.
Debate Has Over
Twenty Prospects
A Political Action Committee was appointed by the Student Council
last Tuesday night to stimulate campus interest in the corning national
election in November. Although no plan of action has been definitely
stated as yet, Delores Olson, Council secretary, stated that the functions
of this committee might include such action as publicizing the main
issues in the political campaign;
publicize party candidates; sponsor
a mock political convention; bring
candidates for state offices to the
campus to speak;, or to arrange for
debates on current political issues.
Serving as chairman of this com-mittee
is Robert Sandin, seminary
senior. His committee members are
Ed Stayton, seminary junior, Paul
Thompson, seminary middleman,
Joe Neimeyer, college senior, and
Robert Hilton, college junior.
Four years ago, in the national
election, much interest was main-tained
among the student body by
a mock convention held in the
chapel after which an election was
held. How will Bethel vote?

(This article was written by the author of a feature entitled "Archie the Cock-roach,"
which appeared in the Clarion five years ago. Silverfish and Cockroaches are
enemies from the beginning of time which explains the sentiment here expressed.
Sinorgy, subject of last year's column "Smorgy, the Silverfish" never has been on
good terms with Archie. Perhaps Smorgy will speak his piece in the next issue.)

The Solid Rock
by Dean Carlson
The element of rhythm seems to be packed very deeply into the organization of
the universe. The temperature, rainfall, and other weather cycles are just taken for
granted as being somehow related to the more basic cycles. But the evidence
is strong that the sun and the moon, the business activities, the physiological pro-cesses,
the psychological moods, and much more, are all somehow tied together into
a vast complex rhythmic universe.
School life is not free from the phenomenon. If we had the devices with which
to measure studiousness we would certainly find wide variations during the year.
Similarly, if we could measure enthusiasm in school life we would see it fluctuate with
the seasons. Many other features and aspects of school life take on an "annual"
quality, or some cycle.
It is important that we be aware of these relationships so that we can approp-riately
evaluate our experiences ; Should we judge the scholarship of the group
on the basis of the first week, it would be a disappointing evaluation. Should we
mistake the enthusiasin of the opening of school to be spiritual fervor and consecra-tion,
we would also be misled. Should we confuse winter fatigue as being lost vision
or broken dedication, it would be unfortunate, indeed. Perhaps we should even be
careful not to mistake spring for love.
Intelligent life planning includes Ways and means of meeting these cyclic exper-iences.
We plan vacation to escape summer heat or hay fever. We have homes and
heating plants to take care of the storms of winter and lights to overcome the coming
darkness. Is it possible to plan now for offsetting the psychological and spiritual ups
and downs of the year before us? At least we can identify our experiences correctly,
and label them correctly. Diagnosis constitutes a large first step toward finding ap-propriate
and effective antidotes.
There is a "solid rock" upon which we can build, and it stands in strong con-trast
to the shiting sands of the human shore line. There is one who is "yesterday,
today, and forever the same" inspite of waves, cycles, and trends. More of the
divine and less of the human must always be our goal.

Welcome, Sem. Students
by Dean Omark
The eighty-second school year of the Sem-inary
has opened with a large enrollment.
A preliminary check reveals that 151 stud-ents
have registered as of September 15th
and there will be some additional late
registrations. Last year the total for the
fall quarter was 151.
The faculty and administration welcome
this large student body warmly. They as-sure
them of deep personal interest and
fervent prayer for their success.
Bethel Theological Seminary is a symbol
of sound doctrine, sincere consecration and
joyous fellowship. Faculty and students con-stitute
a fraternity of Christian scholarship
in which the glory of Christ is the para-mount
consideration. While this may sound
idealistic it nevertheless describes the pat-tern
of school life which our founder, John
Alexis Edgren, established, and which has
been perpetuated.
To all who enter Bethel Theological Sem-inary
this fall, cherishing these ideals, we
extend a warm hand of welcome.

Seven-fifty-five, Girls' dorm. Sophomores:
innocent, studying. Freshmen: suspicious,
locking doors, leaving for reception.
Eight-five. Freshmen: gone. Sophomores
—hmmm, I wonder what they're up to—
"Quick! Who's got the cornflakes? And the
sugar and salt? Downstairs? I'll get the
salt, and, oh yes, the master key! Hurry!
Not much time, lots to do, now, one to put
the cornflakes in the beds, one straighten
them out again, one to unscrew light bulbs
—here—take the sugar and salt for some
of the beds—variety you know. Let's see-cornflakes—
salt—we almost forgot the
alarm clocks! Two thirty or three should
be fine—and really hide them good. And
the vaseline and light bulbs—we'll do that
last—and I'll take care of the drawers—
alright kids—get busy! Time's going fast!
Unscrewing light bulbs—running from
first to third with armfuls of drawers.
Hurrying, hurrying—stop! Shhh—some-one's
coming. C-r-e-a-k, slowly the door
opened . . . in popped a head.
Sally! Boy, you scared us. Help me with
these drawers. Only a few minutes left.
Start the vaseline now—doorknobs, light
switches, drinking fountains, telephones.
Nine forty-five, Girls' dorm. Sophomores:
innocent, studying. Freshmen: "Where's my
lightbulb"—"Anybody got any extra draw-ers?"—"
Ih no, cornflakes!" Drawers slam-ming,
people yelling, running back and
forth. Suspicions justified.
To the Freshmen ..
How nice it is to be superior!
Because really, it's no use pretending, one
is superior isn't one?
I mean people like you and me.—
Quite! I quite agree.
The trouble is, everybody thinks they're
just as superior
as we are; just as superior.—
That's what's so boring! People are so
But they can't really think it, do you think?
At the bottom, they must know we are
really superior
don't you think?
don't you think, really, they know we're
their superiors?—
I couldn't say.
I've never got to the bottom of superiority.
I should like to.
"But if we walk in the light as He is in
the light, we have fellowship with one an-other.
And truly our fellowship is with the
father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."
These words seemed to be the key and
theme of the freshman retreat this year.
For, it truly was a week-end of real fellow-ship—
fellowship with each other and with
the Lord Jesus Christ. This fellowship was
mentioned in a message given by Dr. Virgil
Olson and in a talk by Herb Hage at one
of the campfire services. Both times the
freshmen were challenged to not only have
fellowship with each other but to make
sure that their fellowship was with the
It seems as if it is to hard to get acquain-ted
with everyone in a new school. Big
Trout really overcame this obstacle. For
whether it was in worship, fun, or fellow-ship,
the freshmen were constantly learn-ing
to know each other better. The first
evening, Virgil Olson, Gene Johnson, and
Doris Moberg presented a skit at the social
hour. Virgil Olson, playing the part of a
very dignified personal from the great
city of Chicogo, was arrayed in fine clothes
and a very large nose. The green mop
worn as hair and the over-stuffed trousers
and suit-coat worn by Gene Johnson really
charactreized the uneducated Texan that he
represented. Doris Moberg was the ever-patient
office girl in Dean Carlson's office.
Put the three together and you really have
a hilarious time. Other things on the pro-gram—
a reading by Shirley Anderson, a
skit, a modern version of Cinderella, and
a Swedish Reading by Mrs. Sjordal—also
added to the success of the evening.
Although it was very cold after the social
hour, everyone gathered on the point for
a time of singing and witnessing around
the campfire.
On Sunday, messages were given by Gene
Johnson and Dr. Virgil Olson. In the even-ing
a campfire service was held in the
chapel around the fire-place. At that time,
many freshmen told how the Lord had led
them to Bethel.

"Well begun is half done." Whether it
be the housewife and her dishes, or the
preacher and his sermon, or the salesman
and his interview—the moment they actual-ly
arise and set to work on the task, there
is at once the feeling that the seemingly
impossible is already under way, and the
completion is not far.
And so there is a thrill about beginning
school again—and especially for the fresh-men.
There was much deliberation and con-sultation,
much prayer and wrestling with
the "divided mind," but finally the decision
was made and now you can say with Gen-eral
Pershing when he landed in the first
World War in France with the famous
Rainbow Division, "Lafayette, we are here."
But now that you are here, there will be
many decisions crowding each day, and on
the wisdom of these decisions will depend
so largely the success of the years' work
and fellowship, and indeed your entire
future life.
May I emphasize just one important de-cision:
Begin eaih day with God. George
Mueller used to say, "I find that if I am
to help others during the day, and cheer
and comfort them, and maybe lead some-one
to Christ,—I myself must be right with
the Lord in the morning and happy and
victorious in my own heart. Otherwise, how
can I help others? So I must spend a por-tion
of time with Him at the beginning of
the day in order to assure a successful
Shall we make that decision number one
for the school year?

General Store
Buy your ping-pong balls, teddy bears,
shampoo, and razor blades at the new Bethel
bookstore. For, along with the new store
location have been added a notion and
cosmetic counter and certain other "ex-tras",
including stationery, cuddly animals,
jackets, tee shirts and sweat shirts in the
new school colors. Also, mew courses call
for new equipment, some of which is: oil-painting
canvasses, oils and brushes for
the course in oil painting; drawing boards,
T squares, triangles and French curves for
engineering drawing.
But the most important addition to the
bookstore is the new face behind the
counter—that of Mrs. Walfred Peterson,
better known as "Mrs. Pete".
Well qualified for her job as store mana-ger,
Mrs. Pete formerly worked at the
University of Minnesota bookstore, in
charge of the receiving department, and also
in the veteran's department where she did
filing and recording. From there she fol-lowed
her husband to the University of
Washington, where she did work in the
bookstore. Then, returning in 1951 to her
home state, we find Mrs. Pete as the "right-hand
man" at the McCallister bookstore,
doing bookkeeping, ordering, and counter
Upon asking Mrs. Pete what things annoy-ed
her about the Bethel students as they
came through the book line, she laughing-ly
replied, "That would be rather' danger-ous
for me to say!"
So try not to make a bother of your-selves,
Bethelites. We're proud of having
Mrs. Pete in her new manager's role, and
hope she will be with us for a long time.

Veterans Administration said to-day.

Or, if they wish, they may apply
to the VA for advisement and guid-ance,
consisting of tests and thor-ough
interviews given by trained
vocational counselors.
If a veteran makes his single
change of course before his dead-line
for starting training under the
new GI Bill, he will not need the
VA's approval. However, if his pro-gress
was unsatisfactory, he will
have to show the VA that it was
not because of his own miscon-duct,
neglect or lack of applica-tion.
If he wants to change courses
after his deadline—and has never
made a change before — he will
need the VA's approval. This may
be granted, under the law, if the
VA finds that (1) he has not been
making satisfactory progress in his
present program through no fault
of his own, and the program he
wants to change to is more in keep-ing
with his aptitudes and previous

At the first rehearsals of the

GI Bill. Can you tell me how
to apply?
A. You can obtain an application
form at any VO office. Fill out
the first five sections complete-ly—
be sure to include your
program of training—and send
the aplication, along with a
photostat copy of your dis-charge,
to your VA Regional
Office. If VA approves the ap-plication,
it will send you a
"Certificate For Education and
Training", which you present
at your school when you en-roll.

beneficiaries of my National
Service Life Insurance at any
time, but may I also change
the method of payment of the

may do so without the benefic-iary's

Q. Is VA medical treatment avail-able
to World War II veterans
studying under the GI Bill?

only to such medical treatment
from VA as he would other-wise
get by virtue of his mili-tary

One of the new staff members at Bethel this year is Mr. Feather-stone
who serves as employment manager and director of the Christian
Service Activities. Mr. Robert Featherstone, with his wife and three-year-old
daughter, recently came to St. Paul from the East.
Mr. Featherstone received his B. S. degree at Columbia University
and in 1943 he entered the U.S. Army, serving in the Intelligence
Branch. During this time he studied the Japanese language at Yale
University and also spent eight months studying at the University of
Michigan. Upon his discharge from the Army in 1946, Mr. Featherstone
entered the personnel field in two leading food companies and later,
in the insurance business.
Mr. Featherstone stated he enjoyed his work but he felt that he
should be in the Lord's work, and soon the way opened for him to take
the above position at Bethel.
As soon as Mr. Featherstone came to St. Paul he began contacting
employers and made arrangements for part-time jobs which many stud-ents
have already filled. Some of these jobs include typing, filing, gen-eral
office work, retail sales, freight handling, and other miscellaneous
types of work. Mr. Featherstone as yet has no exact count of the num-ber
of students who are working, but there are more jobs available for
those who are interested in securing part-time employment.

Bethel Tangles With Wop In
Football Opener Tomorrow
by Gene Messenger
Along with the optimistic feeling that accompanies a team whenever
a new coach takes over, an enthusiastic and highly spirited aggregation
of Bethel football players will stream onto the Highland Park gridiron
tomorrow afternoon when Bethel tangles with the Wahpeton Science
School in the 1952 opener.
Utilizing a T-formation with the incidental ornaments of a modern
offense, Coach Winterble will field a team claiming only ten returning
lettermen from last year's squad.
Winterble New
Football Mentor
In its desire for enlarging the
sports program at Bethel College
and.creating more interest in cam-pus
athletics, the administration
has secured Mr. William Winterble
of Madison, Wisconsin as head foot-ball
coach for the 1952 season.
Mr. Winterble is a graduate of
Carleton College, Northfield, Min-nesota,
where he played halfback
for three years.
For the past two seasons Mr.
Winterble has assisted with coach-ing
duties at Carleton College.
Eager to have the team in good
physical condition for the opener
with Wahpeton tomorrow, the new
mentor has scheduled practice each
day since the arrival of the fresh-men
on campus.
Assisting in the coaching duties
will be Mr. Elmer Fischer of Lodi,
California. Mr. Fischer, a seminary
senior, played four years as a full-back
for Sioux Falls College in
South Dakota. This will be Mr.
Fischer's third year as an active
promoter in Bethel's sports pro-gram.
Pete Unruh of Mt. Lake, Minne-sota,
is the team trainer while John
Swanson of Cadillac, Michigan,
serves as team manager.
Cliff Smith and Jim Mason will
chart and score the games for re-porting
and strategical purposes.

Intramural Sports
Program Gets Under
Way This Weekend
Commission of intramural activi-ties,
Norris Magnuson, has announc-ed
that touch football teams will

Six sections of the country will
field teams with players from their
respective sections. Teams from
Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa - Platte
Valley, Michigan - Wisconsin, the
East Coast, and the West Coast
will compete and will be awarded
a total of five points for each vic-tory.
At the end of the school year
the team with the most points
garnered from football, basketball
and softball will receive the intra-mural
sport's trophy.
Fellows from both the seminary
and college are eligible for com-petition
unless they are playing
varsity football. Players are urged
to check the official bulletin board
for schedules and those desiring
to play may report to the following
team captains: East, Arvid Berg;
Illinois, Don Dye; Iowa-Platte Val-ley,
Dean Olson; Minnesota, Gene
Messenger; Michigan - Wisconsin,

Hamline Pipers Test
gridder's Strength
In an attempt toward cementing
a firmer reputation in collegiate
athletics Bethel's football team
mixes with the Hamline Pipers on
the Piper's field October 25. This
will be the first real test for the
Bethelites as they encounter the
Pipers in a Snelling Avenue duel.
Hamline, a member of the Min-nesota
College conference, should
give the Bethel team and coaches
an idea of what is to come if Bethel
gains a berth in the Minnesota
Conference in the future.
Two other new foes are on this
year's schedule; the Wahpeton
Science School team comes here
on September 20 for the opener
and on October 31 Emmetsburg,
Iowa, invades the Bethel gridiron.
Rochester Junior College, Itasca,
Worthington, and Northland will
be the other four teams rounding
out the seven game schedule.
Approximately twenty players
will don the blue and white for
their first game in collegiate com-petition.
Returning lettermen in-clude
Phil Carlson from Evanston,
Illinois, last year's captain, and
Bob Carlson from Manistique,
Michigan, voted the team's out-standing
player in 1951.
Included on the experienced play-er
list are Jim Baxter, Gene Glad-er,
Fred Thomas, Virgil Hegle, Bob
Franzen, Berge Hoogasian, Don
Erickson, Paul Moon, Mel Nygren,
and Al Christiansen.
The weight of the forward wall
promises to be one of the strongest
traits which finds Al Richer, a 275
pound guard from Lincoln Park,
Michigan. Bob Franzen from Min-neapolis
and Carl Christenson from
Muskegon, Michigan also tip the
scales over the 200 pound mark.
Bob Kendall from Minneapolis
barks the signals and also does a
major proportion of the kicking
and passing. Speedy Jay William-son
from Burlington, Washington,
occupies the left half position with
Jim Baxter from Minneapolis at
fullback and Harley Schroeder
from Mt. Lake, Minnesota, at right
Other backs likely to see plenty
of action include Clif Schroeder,
Fred Thomas, Chuck Smith, Don
Stipe and Don Erickson.
Barring any late practice injur-ies
Coach Winterble's team should
be in top physical shape for the
opening tussle. The warm Septem-ber
weather has been an aiding
factor in whipping the players in
shape as they have been working
out for the past three weeks.
This will be the first time that
Bethel and Wahpeton have met for
a pigskin duel and the Dakotans
promise to provide an adequate
test for the Bethel Team.
Bethel will be clad in new blue
and white jerseys recently acquir-ed
after changing the school colors.

Looking Ahead —
Royal Riteup
by Gene Messenger
In the St. Paul Pioneer Press of September 12, 1952, Joe Hennessy
in his "Tip of the Morning" column had the following item of interest
to Bethel fans: "St. Paul may have a fourth representative in the Min-nesota
College Conference. Bethel, now a full four-year college, may
fill the vacancy left by St. Olaf. With an enrollment of 600, Bethel
has just completed a modern athletic plant."
For many years Bethel athletes and fans have been waiting for an
opportunity to gain a conference berth. Last spring our application to
the conference was tabled by conference officials but it is hoped that
the officials take action on our application in the near future:
In the near future, cries of homecoming will be echoing across
the campus and ideas for slogans, floats, and decorations will penetrate
the halls and dormitory rooms.
Just to be different how about a homecoming slogan that is adapt-able
to an athletic contest rather than quoting a scripture verse or
phrased In the past we have adopted phrases like "For His Glory",
and went out and got smothered by an opponent. Was it for His glory
that we lost? "By God's Grace" was also used and placed on a booster
pin with a picture of the homecoming host and hostess. Was it by God's
grace that they were on the pin or what was it?
This may sound a bit far-fetched but sentiments of such nature
have been known to reverberate up and down Snelling Avenue on
Homecoming Day. Certainly we could find a slogan which would be
appropriate without having to find it from the Bible.

The Miami Dolphins have been the tummy tuck team of the NFL this decade.
The franchise wants quick results without the work, which is why owner Steve Ross has allowed his management team to lean so heavily on free agency to build a winner.
At some point the Dolphins needed to change their diet and start exercising to create life-long changes. That journey began this offseason, and I supported that stance before and after the first week of free agency.
However, let me remind you that the Dolphins lost five solid starters -- Pro Bowl...

rolls - video
Hello again bakers,
This is the next video in the series - the longest yet, and most specific. A few people asked me specific questions about roll shaping, so this video is for them. It's easier to show you than to explain it in writing. I also show a little bit of home oven technique for baking on two racks. There's no commentary, so enjoy the music. And in case you're wondering who it is, (Trishinomaha) it's "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Bruddah Iz. Enjoy.
Norm, there's a Dutchess in there just to make you homesick for the bakery.

Two years ago, I remember leaving my daughter for the first time, as I attended AgConnect, the annual agricultural farm machinery show produced by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers. It's hard to believe that two years have passed that quickly, but the event is once again fast approaching.
This year, it will be held January 29-31, 2013, at the Kansas City Convention Center. Show organizers say it will be the largest show yet, with more than 300 exhibitors on board so far, including a number of key fluid power manufacturers.
Of all the machinery that uses hydraulics and pneumatics, agricultural machines are often the most unique. This event gives attendees an opportunity to see new machines up close and personal. I got a real kick out of all the attendees taking pictures posing in front of them, but more importantly, climbing up inside the machines and seeing how they work.
I won't be leaving my daughter to attend AgConnect next month, but part of me wishes I was. It's a great event with lots of cool machinery and components to check out.
Visit our Events page for more details about the event itself.

Terry Goertzen's 18 foot tall – tall bicycle – "The origins of the feat were innocent enough. Terry's wife SuAnn had given him a welding set for Christmas and soon he was building bikes, including a multi-layered one. On a whim, he checked the world's record for tallest bicycle. When he realized he was already close to the 4.3 metre record, he decided to beat it." [via] – Link & winning record. Thanks Cliff!

Pacific Investment Management Co., manager of the world's largest mutual fund, said returns from U.S. equities will decline from their historic averages over the next decade as the U.S. economy grows at a slower pace.
Equities will return an annualized 4 percent to 5.1 percent over the coming five to 10 years, down from their historical rate of almost 10 percent, Saumil Parikh, a portfolio manager who leads Newport Beach, California-based Pimco's cyclical forum, said in a November asset allocation report being posted on the firm's website. .
"If investment in the U.S. economy does not pick up substantially over the next five to 10 years, the unsustainability of large public sector deficits will put tremendous pressure on corporate profits and their ability to keep up with nominal GDP growth," Parikh said.
Bill Gross, Pimco's founder and co-chief investment officer, said in his August investment outlook that the cult of equity was dying and returns of 6.6 percent above inflation, known as the Siegel Constant, wouldn't be seen again. In his September outlook he said stocks would still outperform bonds, even as returns for both would be stunted.
Pimco, home to the $281 billion Pimco Total Return Fund, started offering equity funds almost three years ago with the opening of its EqS Pathfinder Fund.
The U.S. will have slower economic growth because there will be more retirees than workers and productivity will decline because of less investment, Parikh said. Growth in nominal gross domestic product will slow to 4 percent to 5 percent from an average of 6.4 percent over the past 110 years, he said.
"These forecasts reflect the environment of financial repression the U.S. economy finds itself in today due to deleveraging, and one that we see persisting to some degree over the next five to 10 years," he wrote.

BASF Launches Eco-Label Database for Easy Comparing
FLORHAM PARK, NJ — In an attempt to get a handle on the numerous eco-labels and ratings systems that have multiplied in recent years, BASF created a database that now includes 100 programs and is growing.
The chemical company says it developed the SELECT Eco-Label Manager so that it and its stakeholders could better manage all the different environmental labels, claims, directories and ratings that have been created or are used by the government, other businesses, trade groups and organizations.
SELECT — standing for Sustainability, Eco-Labeling and Environmental Certification Tracking — lets users search, analyze and compare programs, and is currently only available to BASF employees and certain BASF customers and stakeholders.
"The demand for environmentally preferable products is rapidly evolving and influencing purchasing decisions along entire supply chains," Pat Meyer, BASF senior product steward and program leader, said in a statement. "These purchasing requirements have spawned hundreds of eco-labels and programs…leading to a lot of confusion."
The SELECT database has 100 programs in it so far, most related to North America, but BASF says it will keep adding programs from around the world to it.

Missing Data Modeling
Maren Winkler
posted on Monday, January 18, 2010 - 3:32 am
in their current paper, Wu, West and Taylor (2009) point out the following:
"However, as noted by Enders (2001), when FIML is used for Type II longitudinal data, the chi-square test statistic cannot be calculated using the general form, (N - 1)F(FIML), because there is no single N that is applicable to the entire sample. Researchers can calculate the fit indices by following a two-step procedure: (a) estimate the saturated model and the hypothesized model using FIML, and (b) calculate the chi-square test statistics using the formula –2(InL(FIML(hypothesized)) - InLFIM(L(saturated))). Then, the fit indices based on the chi-square test statistics can be calculated by hand using standard formulas (see Table 3)."
I'm using Mplus 5.21.
I have missing data and include five auxiliary variables in my model.
Does the chi-square test statistic I get use the above formula?
If not, does the output contain information on both log-likelihoods so that I can do the calculations myself?
Thank you very much

With TYPE=MISSING, Mplus use the formula –2(InL(FIML(hypothesized)) - InLFIM(L(saturated))).
Maren Winkler

Dear Linda,
thanks for your reply.
I have two additional questions:
1. Are fit indices (e.g. CFI, TLI, RMSEA, SRMR) calculated according to the above formula?
2. In addition, Davey, Savla and Luo (2005) point out the following:
"Comparison of model fit indexes generated by EM and FIML may thus be informative about the extent to which one's evaluation of a model is likely to be affected by missing data."
I use the following commands in Mplus:
AUXILIARY = (m) z1 z2 z3 z4 z5;
Does Mplus use an EM-algorithm for estimating the model?
Thanks for your help!

Dear Linda,
I've got an additional question after having read a paper by Bodner (2008).
He recommends reporting the parameter lambda which "represents the fraction of missing information for a given parameter in a particular data set". It is defined as
lambda = 1 - [(v(m)-1)*U(m)/[(v(m)+3)*T(m)]
Is it possible to estimate this value with TYPE = MISSING? If so, what do I have to add to the syntax?
Thanks a lot!

Dear Drs. Muthén,
I have a question concerning the amount of missing data.
On our predictor side, we have data for nearly 1200 subjects (8 variables + five auxiliary variables). However, on the criterion side we only have data for 80 subjects (11 variables).
We assume missing at random - subjects were admitted (and thus have criterion data) due to their test results (predictors).
We are using the auxiliary option and ML in Mplus to model our data.
How much can I trust the results I get - parameter estimates, model fit?
For multiple imputation, there are "rules of thumb" on how many imputations one needs in order to get reliable estimates. Are there any rules of thumb for using FIML?
Thanky you very much!
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 - 1:00 pm
It sounds like you regress 1 DV on 8 predictors and to that you add 5 auxiliary(m) variables as missing data correlates. If that's right, the Mplus aux(m) ML approach under MAR ("FIML") for the 1200 subjects would work well since you have only 10 regression parameters (8 slopes, 1 intercept, and 1 residual variance) to estimate based on the 80 subjects who got selected. I think it would be difficult to have reliable general rules of thumb for either MI or FIML since it depends so much on the specific setting.
Maren Winkler
posted on Thursday, April 22, 2010 - 11:11 pm
this sounds pretty reassuring!
Just to make sure I've described my model sufficiently:
On the predictor side I have eight variables, loading 2 factors in a nested factor model:
F1 BY x1 TO x8;
F2 BY x4 TO x8;
(This model fits the data very well in the sample of our 1200 subjects).
For 80 subjects who were admitted I have got grades in 11 courses which load one factor well:
F3 BY y1 TO y11;
In my SEM I regress F3 on F1 and F2.
I define my five auxiliary variables as aux (m).
Would your optimistic view hold for this scenario?
Thank you so much for your help!

Yes. In fact, I have an article on a similar situation regarding GMAT selection:
Muthén, B. (1989). Factor structure in groups selected on observed scores. British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 42, 81-90.
This is paper #23 at my UCLA web site
It discusses the selection issues involved.

A divorce can be an extremely painful and emotionally draining experience – but it can also be your first chance to regain your independence, to stand up for exactly what you want, and to make a fresh start, knowing that you did what was right for you and your children. By learning more about the divorce process, the child custody process, and the division of property, you are arming yourself with the knowledge that will only help you in the coming weeks and months. You wouldn"t begin a journey without a map – don"t begin the divorce process without guidance. Particularly when it comes to households where men have been the primary breadwinners, women often worry about being placed in a precarious financial situation after their divorce. Similarly, if children are involved, concerns about the emotional impact your divorce will have on the children, who will have physical and legal custody of the children, as well as concerns about how you will support them, can be a tremendous source of stress for women.
The second common type of injustice against women divorce courts is the hiding of assets by the husband. In order to fairly divide the marital assets, each spouse must disclose all of his or her income and assets. When a husband lies to the court about the amount of property and savings they have, your attorney must be able to fight back and make sure the court knows that the husband is not being truthful throughout the judicial proceedings. Fault in the breakup in marriage is one of the factors that can determine how assets are divided.
As a part of a divorce, you and your former spouse will formulate a parenting plan that will outline the specifics of how you plan to co-parent your children. These plans can include everything from time-sharing agreements to concerns related to legal custody, including decisions about education and religious upbringing.

EMWIN-N Prototype Tests
The EMWIN-N prototype concept was proven successful with the final formal test of the EMWIN-N receiving system, conducted September 6 – 15, 2006 at the NESDIS Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) Station in Wallops Virginia. The final test report validates the proof-of-concept for the EMWIN-N system and indicates it is ready for further development by prospective manufacturers.
During the test, an uplink transmitter at the Wallops CDA beamed an EMWIN-N test signal to the recently orbited GOES 13 satellite (previously identified as GOES-N) which retransmitted a broadcast signal back to Wallops where it was received and decoded by the prototype EMWIN-N receiver. The test data showed that the performance fully met the design criteria for error rate using a one meter dish receiving antenna with a very satisfactory operating margin against adverse radio broadcast conditions.
The GOES 13 satellite is currently located near 90 degrees west. The broadcast will be available occasionally during tests periods until the satellite becomes operational. The broadcast coverage area for GOES 13 includes the continental United States so that anyone with a receiver comparable to the NOAA prototype should be able to receive the test signal. In addition, there will be a full time EMWIN-N test broadcast available from the GOES 10 satellite. Please see our test broadcast page for information.

A sense of urgency for veterans' loved ones not to let history vanish
U-T San Diego reporters Peter Rowe and John Wilkens explore how WWII shaped the "Greatest Generation" and our home. These stories will focus on local men and women who helped preserve our nation and re-create our city. The series is supported by U-T's video partner, the Media Arts Center San Diego.

Legacy of WWII: It was a 'Woman's War Too'
Japanese-Americans in San Diego; A couple's bond, both were sent to internment camps in their youth
The Battle of Midway's unsinkable San Diegan
Last year, Coronado's Mike O'Keefe obtained a copy of a letter written by a Marine Corps legend, Lt. Gen. Richard Mangrum. It recounts the summer and fall of 1942 during World War II when Mangrum commanded a dive bomber squadron on Guadalcanal.
Full of harrowing missions, the letter is a dramatic read. But Mike was floored by this matter-of-fact sentence: "You may recall that Art O'Keefe had a run of hard luck."
Mike recalled nothing of the sort.
His father, Marine Corps Lt. Col. Arthur O'Keefe, kept his wartime experiences to himself. For years, Mike tried to pry the tales loose. Then his father had a stroke. The colonel is 91 now, living in the fog of dementia in an Imperial Beach retirement home.
"His mind is gone," said Mike, a retired Navy lieutenant commander and a veteran flier.
Until he read the Mangrum letter, written in 1985, Mike had no idea that his father participated in the six-month battle for Guadalcanal, a key campaign that began 70 years ago this month.
Guadalcanal, the Allies' first major offensive of the Pacific war, is usually seen as a land battle, but fighting was fierce in the waters surrounding the island. Both sides needed constant reinforcement and resupply, and most men and materiel had to be delivered by sea. Arthur O'Keefe was among those sent aloft to bomb the Japanese fleet.
Eager to learn more, Mike and his wife, Jackie, began poring over flight logs, citations, books and unpublished manuscripts last year. They consulted historians and interviewed a wry Midwesterner who, a lifetime ago, flew with O'Keefe.
They haven't been able to recapture the full tale, not by a long sight. But decades after O'Keefe became one of the first American fliers to land on Guadalcanal, his family has won a glimpse of what he did there — and how much those deeds cost.
Vanishing history
The O'Keefe story is unique, yet this effort to preserve a loved one's story may resonate with countless Americans. Of the 16 million U.S. men and women who served in the military during World War II, only about 1.5 million are still alive — and they are dying at a rate of one every two minutes, often taking their wartime memories to the grave with them.
There was a sense of urgency about all this in May, during an "Honor Flight" to Washington, D.C. About 100 local World War II veterans took the three-day, all-expenses-paid trip, which featured tours of the various memorials. Many were accompanied by family members who pushed wheelchairs, opened doors, and sometimes heard stories for the first time.
At the Washington Navy Yard's museum, Gene Arthur came across a photo of Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. "The last time I saw that guy," Arthur told his son, "he was hanging upside down."
Jim Arthur was stunned. He didn't know his father had been in Milan in April 1945, when Mussolini's corpse was strung up — a brutal public display confirming the despot's demise at the hands of Italian partisans.
"A part of history," Jim said, "and he was there."
In June, the U-T filmed the oral histories of more than 30 World War II veterans aboard the USS Midway Museum. Many of them came with relatives — spouses, children, grandchildren — who sat right behind the camera so they could listen to the interviews. Sometimes what they heard made them cry.
"I never knew," the relatives said, over and over.
One of the vets, Richard Stutzman, a P-51 pilot who flew more than 30 missions in the Pacific, died less than two weeks after he shared his story on the Midway. His daughter, Judy Piercey, said having his memories preserved "is such a great gift to us."
And it can be a gift to the vets, too
After Gus Apostalos, an Army infantryman, told his story on the Midway, his son, Chuck, wrote in an email: "For the first time that I can remember, he's been able to talk about what he saw and what he was forced to do. Perhaps now, the nightmares he's endured since then on a regular basis will end."
If Arthur O'Keefe has nightmares, he hasn't shared them with his family, but there have been hints.
When Mike was in high school and expressed a desire to join the military, his dad pushed him toward the Navy rather than the Marines. "I don't want you on the ground where you can be shelled," the father said, "all the stuff I went through."
But what had he gone through?
When the Coronado library was planning a celebration of naval aviation's centennial in 2011, Mike brought over four or five boxes stuffed with his father's war papers, photos and flight logs. An archivist flipped through the materials and then stopped.
"Wow!" he exclaimed to Mike. "Your dad was on Guadalcanal!"
Into the sea
Seeking more clues to this mystery, Mike and Jackie cast a wide net. At the Tailhook Association, historian Doug Siegried helped them identify planes, squadrons and airfields that appear in O'Keefe's photos.
"With these pictures," Siegfried said, "we were able to provide a timeline on his dad's career."
Experts at the San Diego Air & Space Museum helped fill in some blanks. And a group of World War II veterans led the couple to Tom Mohan of Kirkwood, Mo., a wry 90-year-old who flew with O'Keefe at Guadalcanal. Between Mohan's recollections and the letter from their squadron commander, Mangrum, they traced the outlines of this story.
Born in Annapolis, Md., Arthur O'Keefe grew up in Mission Hills. After joining the Marines, he received his wings and officially became a naval aviator in January 1942. That June, he traveled to Hawaii to join Marine Scout Bomber Squadron 232. If this 21-year-old second lieutenant seemed young and inexperienced, he was an old pro next to his 19-year-old gunner.
"I had never been in an airplane in my life," Mohan said.
The squadron continued training aboard the carrier Long Island as they steamed west to Guadalcanal. On one flight, the carrier's landing signal officer waved off O'Keefe and Mohan, warning them to ascend and make another pass. O'Keefe didn't climb fast enough and his tailhook snagged a wire stretched across the ship's deck, flinging the plane into the ocean.
The Dauntless dive bomber sank, but its crew was fished unharmed from the sea.
"Chalk up another first for the Marines," the signal officer said. "He lived to tell the tale!"
But as Mangrum noted in his letter, back luck seemed to follow O'Keefe. Near Guadalcanal, Japanese aircraft attacked the Long Island. Dashing to his battle station, O'Keefe slipped and fell. Sore and bruised, he had to persuade his superiors that he could still operate his Dauntless' rudder pedal and brake, and fly with the rest of his squadron off the carrier.
He won the argument. The next day, Aug. 20, he and Mohan became two of the first American aviators to land at Guadalcanal's recaptured air strip. "But," Mangrum wrote, "it was two weeks before he could walk normally."
On Guadalcanal, "normal" didn't apply. The fliers landed at the airstrip, re-christened Henderson Field, without tents, extra parts or spare clothing. By night, they slept beneath planes' wings. By day, they endured Japanese attacks by land and air. The men dined on pancakes for breakfast, lamb tongue patties for dinner and their imaginations for lunch.
"There weren't any fat guys on Guadalcanal," Mohan said.
Great courage
In less than a month, O'Keefe flew 29 combat missions. The 29th came on Sept. 14, when his squadron was ordered to bomb Japanese forces coming down The Slot, a sound that divides the Solomon Islands. While the other Dauntlesses took off, Mohan and Keefe couldn't start their plane. By the time they were airborne, they were alone, flying without backup.
"I'll tell you as a pilot," Mike O'Keefe said, "that's nuts. If he had encountered anything, he was a dead duck."
But Arthur O'Keefe flew 250 miles, bombed his target and returned to Henderson Field.
"He landed the plane," Mohan said, "and got out and I never saw him again. I heard he had a breakdown."
A few days later, O'Keefe was flown off the island. While he was decorated for his service on Guadalcanal and would fight on Iwo Jima, O'Keefe's "breakdown" cast a shadow across his military career.
What happened? On the day of that last flight from Guadalcanal, Mangrum reported, O'Keefe learned that one of his closest friends had died in action. "Add to this the weeks of strain, inadequate food, rest, hard flying and nervous exhaustion," the squadron commander wrote. "Art O'Keefe was through — had to be evacuated. Even so, his was a story of great courage, and he was crushed that somehow 'he had let the squadron down.'
"No such thing, as the rest of us well knew."
Do we? How much do we know? How many more chances will we have to hear from these eyewitnesses to history?
"This is sort of your final opportunity to talk to people who were there," Jackie O'Keefe said.
"This," Mike said, sifting through a box of papers and photographs, seeking pieces to an old puzzle, "is all new to me."

- 1/2 pound tomatillos (about 4), husks removed, rinsed, sliced in half
- Kosher salt
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed
Split the guajillos along one side, so they can be laid out flat. Heat two tablespoons vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet set over medium heat until shimmering. Add one of the chilies with a pair of tongs, and press it until the oil. Flip every couple of seconds until the chili has turned dark red and is very fragrant, 20 to 30 seconds. Remove chili, letting any oil drip back into the pan, and transfer to a blender. Repeat with remaining chili.
Discard the oil but do not rinse the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high and add the garlic and the tomatillos, cut-side down. Cook until charred on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip garlic and tomatillos and let char on the other side, another 3 minutes. Transfer chilies, garlic, and tomatillos to the blender, along with 1/2 cup water. Blend until smooth and season to taste with salt.
Adjust top oven rack to 6 inches below the broiler. Preheat broiler to high. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Using your hands or a pair of tongs, toss asparagus with one tablespoon oil and a pinch of salt, then arrange the asparagus stalks on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle another tablespoon of oil on the other side, add the salmon fillets, and coat them in the oil. Set the fillets skin-side down and sprinkle with salt.
Set the baking sheet underneath the broiler, with the asparagus directly underneath the flame. Cook until the asparagus stalks are bright green and tender, flipping after a couple minutes, about five minutes total. Rotate baking sheet so that the salmon fillets are directly underneath the flame and continue to cook until they have browned on top and an instant read thermometer inserted into the deepest part registers about 130°F, about 5 minutes longer. (Note: If your broiler is large enough for both to cook at the same time, cook for five minutes, then transfer baking sheet to a lower rack to continue cooking for another five minutes.)
Divide the asparagus between four plates. Spoon some of the sauce on each plate, and then set a salmon fillet on top. Serve immediately.

Michigan Gas Prices Out Of Control — Grand Rapids Hit Worst
Michigan's gas prices are among the highest in the nation peaking at $4.70 in Clinton Township. Michigan currently has the 3rd highest average gas price in the United States; only Hawaii and Illinois have higher averages. In general, the Midwest has above average fuel prices with Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana being hit the hardest.
Midwest refineries are currently experiencing a 22-year low in supply. The low supply is a major factor in the inflated prices in the Midwest. Five Midwest refineries that supply Michigan and other Midwest states with fuel are currently closed or have closed recently for maintenance.
According to GasBuddy.com, Grand Rapids has the 3rd highest average metropolitan gas prices in the country. The only two cities who have a higher average are Honolulu, HI and Chicago, IL.
