Today Good Letters welcomes back former blogger Dyana Herron as a regular contributor. Dyana is a poet who holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Seattle Pacific University. She served as SPU's MFA Program Coordinator and Development Associate for Image Journal before relocating to Philadelphia with her husband last year. We are glad to share her words with you once again.
Since I retired as a regular contributor to Good Letters almost exactly one year ago, I've moved from Seattle to Philadelphia. Neither are cities I expected to live in before I had sudden reason to live in them. Living in a city at all, in fact, was never necessarily the plan.
Why, then, do I find it a shock each time I go back home to Southeast Tennessee, where my family still resides? Why, standing in the muggy July air I know the feel of as well as the feel of my own body, looking on the hills whose shape I know as intimately as the geography of my father's face—even in the dark—do I feel so strange, so out of place?
I have been in Tennessee for the past two weeks, attending my dying grandmother, Gennie Vee.
When I say attending, I mean I have been assisting in small ways with her care—sitting with her, stealing extra cups of applesauce from the kitchen of the rehab facility she stayed at for a week to regain strength after a hospitalization, helping her find which channel is broadcasting the Braves game.
But more than that, I am attending my grandmother the way I might attend a lecture, a concert, or a church service. When I say I am attending her, I mean I am paying attention, as I would at any of those events.
And my grandmother, though she does little now but eat and sleep and laugh and tell me she loves me and struggle to breathe, is at the same time teaching me something complicated, and singing me something beautiful, and telling me something I didn't know about God.
The first week my grandmother was in the rehab facility wasn't as bad as I feared. It was a cheerful enough place, with a small vegetable garden outside the cafeteria and a daily activity schedule that not only included Bingo and I Love Lucy marathons, but also poker, aromatherapy, Beading with Mildred, and the mysteriously-named but probably super fun Lula Tells It All!
I'd been nervous in advance that being there would make me sad. Besides seeing my grandmother in worsening health, I worried that seeing other elderly patients—many without families to visit them, and many lost in their memories of the past without much future to look forward to—would be hard to handle.
When I arrived, though, I found that I enjoyed sitting in her room, listening to the whir of the oxygen machine, swapping stories with other family members who came to bring food and books and check in on her.
I was most anxious when she decided she wanted to return home. While she was still in the rehab facility, I realized, she was working towards a goal—regaining enough strength to go home. But after she went home, the future point she'd be moving toward was her death.
She wanted—wants—to rest her head on her own pillows and look out her own windows and breathe her own air, which smells like bacon grease and tomatoes.
Although my grandmother's house is only a short and uncomplicated drive from my mother's, when going to visit her I find myself taking the longer, sinuous back roads: Gap Springs Road, Buck's Pocket Road, Samples Chapel Road.
I was surprised by the ease with which I remembered how to steer around bends and sharp turns, and how, without thinking, I'd swerve to bypass an old pothole or dip. This muscle memory is accompanied by actual memory.
I pass the house that belongs to my first grade teacher, in whose garage I accidentally locked myself once while selling Girl Scout cookies. Later the road winds by the house my aunt and uncle rented early in their marriage.
I remember, when very small, bringing them a pair of crocheted baby booties when my aunt was first pregnant, only to find her crying in her living room chair. My mom explained later that there wouldn't be a baby anymore. That maybe there would be later, but not then.
Finally the road curves through a long corridor of trees so tall and dense they block out light. I dream of this wooded strip so often it feels surreal to be present in it in reality. The shady darkness—especially in evening— doesn't help matters, nor do the fireflies' sleepy blinks in the brush, green on green.
Here's the hard part. We aren't taught how to go back.
We're taught to move forward, toward something better, as quickly and efficiently as we can. We're told there will be a road, and even if it is narrow, it is straight, and it will take us where we need to go.
We are told a story has a beginning, a middle, and end—that stories move in some kind of line. In this way we are taught to move from one place to another, and to yet another.
In reality, though, it's rarely so simple. Our stories are convoluted, and winding, and often lack resolution. We are frustrated and baffled by them. We know what to do when a baby is coming, but not when the baby doesn't come. We know how to help people recover, but not how to help them not recover.
For me, for now, taking the back roads feels truer to the way life moves—forward and back and around, and sometimes all this at once. For me, for now, this seems like the right way to go.
When I pull into my grandmother's driveway, there is a light in the window. It illuminates her curtains, printed with roses. They are faded from many years of filtering sunlight.

Physical activity key for older adults
Research gives a whole new meaning to the old saying "use it or lose it" for aging adults.
Functional decline in the older adult is due, at least in part, to physical inactivity, notes Sonia Turnbow, M.S.N., RN, WHNP, assistant professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) College of Nursing. During Older Americans Month, we are reminded of the link between physical activity and cognition in the older population.
"Studies have correlated physical activity through the lifespan with preservation of mental function," Turnbow says.
One such study from the Journal of American Geriatrics Society, which included 9,344 women with a mean age of 71.6 years, found a positive relationship between cognitive status and physical activity at any age. The study shows lifelong habits related to physical exercise are effective in preventing dementia, but increasing physical activity at any age is helpful.
"Exercise is a natural part of life, although these days we have to consciously include it in our daily routine," Turnbow says. "Biologically, it was part of survival in the form of hunting and gathering or raising livestock and growing food. Historically, it was built into daily life as regular hours of physical work or soldiering."
It is important to challenge your brain to learn new and novel tasks, especially processes that you've never done before like square dancing, chess, tai chi, yoga or sculpture.
"It is never too late to take up physical activity in order to improve health and quality of life," Turnbow adds. "Older adults can benefit from resolving to make small changes in one or two lifestyle behaviors that are known to enhance well-being."
Each year since 1963, the month of May is proclaimed Older Americans Month nationwide. The Administration on Aging develops a theme for the observance, with this year's being "Unleash the Power of Age."

Time To Move From zAAPs to zIIPs?
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comment (1) Visits (12303)
Prompted by Troy Coleman's article zEC12 and zIIP Processors I thought I'd write about how I see the future for zAAPs.
First, his article does a good job of covering the area. So I recommend you read it.
Troy mentions the "zAAP on zIIP" function - which allows zAAP-eligible work to run on a zIIP. It's not news and it's a good piece of function: It means you can fill zIIPs more readily, making them a better financial proposition than if zAAP-eligible work had to stay on zAAPs, segregated from zIIP-eligible work. The value of this will depend on which of the following three categories your systems are in:
I see customers in all three categories. Strictly speaking I should say "systems in all three categories" as this is an LPAR-by-LPAR and machine-by-machine thing. So, to evaluate its applicability you need to use the usual methods (and apply some of the thinking in zIIP / zAAP Capacity Planning).
Troy also quotes the IBM Statement of Direction on the planned relaxation on the use of zAAP-on-zIIP:
IBM plans to provide a PTF for APAR OA38829 on z/OS V1.12 and V1.13 in September 2012 to remove the restriction that prevents zAAP-eligible workloads from running on zIIP processors when a zAAP is installed on the server.
This gives new configuration choices - which ought to be helpful to a number of customers: I can imagine migrations on an LPAR-by-LPAR basis to zAAP-on-zIIP.
He also mentions the Statement of Direction that:
IBM zEnterprise EC12 is planned to be the last high-end System z server to offer support for zAAP specialty engine processors.
So there's an obvious direction of travel here. All these things taken together suggest the zEC12 timeframe would be a good one to migrate to zIIPs in. Actually I see nothing here that suggests you couldn't do it on a z196 : Each customer will have their own choreography.
One final thing to watch out for: The configuration rules haven't changed in that it's still only one zIIP per GCP (General Purpose CP) and only one zAAP per GCP. There will be relatively few customers who need more zIIP engines on a machine than GCP engines (even with zAAP-eligible workload running on the zIIPs) but I'm sure they do exist. In those cases careful evaluation (particularly of the financial kind) will be the order of the day. And that's where Capacity Planning, mentioned in my referenced post, comes in.

Lox and Eggs
Lox and eggs is a popular dish at deli-restaurants serving Jewish-style cuisine — and lox with scrambled eggs is ideal for preparing at home. It's very easy, takes no time, and costs much less when you make your own. In case you're wondering, lox is cured salmon. Smoked salmon, which is less salty, can be used as a substitute.
Preparation time: 7 minutes
Cooking time: 5 minutes
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Keeping kosher: Dairy
1 bunch green onions
10 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 or 3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup thin strips of lox
Thinly slice the green onions, including both the white and green parts.
Set aside 2 tablespoons green part of the sliced green onions for garnish.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs with salt and pepper until blended.
Melt butter in a large skillet.
Add 3/4 cup green onions and sauté over medium-low heat for 1 minute.
Add beaten eggs and scramble over low heat, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or until they're set to your taste.
Remove from heat and gently stir in lox.
Taste and adjust seasoning, as necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with reserved green onions.

Zoom H2n Handy Recorder: Pint-Sized Powerhouse
We're still waiting for the future: the flying car; the self-cooking dinner. But the shirt-pocket recording studio is a reality – I have one here right now.
It's the Zoom H2n, a deck-of-cards-sized device that combines clever, multi-pattern built-in microphones with solid-state digital recording (to SD card) in uncompressed WAV or data-reduced MP3 files, over a range of sampling-rate and bit-depth formats. The tiny Zoom is powered by a duet of AA batteries promising up to 20 hours, yielding recordings at CD quality - and since it does 96 kHz/24 bit WAVs, potentially better-than-CD-quality - all for a street price under $200.
Seriously? Yep. The H2n is aimed mostly at pro and semi-pro users; location-audio hunter-gatherers like TV reporters, videographers, and podcasters. As a cheap and convenient second source, It's ideal for DSLR cinematographers (or anybody shooting video with a device that's less than ideal for capturing audio). But as a tool for casual home recordists and and sonic experimenters Zoom's H2n is a hoot.
The H2n looks like a single old-fashioned microphone (think Johnny-era "Tonight Show"), but its upper grilles in fact conceal five microphone capsules, arrayed to provide four distinct "patterns." Two are stereo: "X/Y," which is closest to most folks' notion of "stereo" with two closely spaced mics directed mostly forward, yielding a close-in, fairly intimate space; "MS" (mid/side) uses two mics aimed sidewards, mixed with a single capsule directed ahead – this is the classic array for recording music in a natural space. The remaining arrays are four-and two-channel surround options.
I had a ball playing with the H2n, and was quite astounded by the quality of recordings I got. My first effort, the very day the thing arrived, was a practice session of the hack blues band I play in. I simply set the Zoom (using the four little rubber nubs that support it on any level surface) on the pool table that fronts our setup. After selecting 44.1/16-bit WAV (uncompressed mode, equivalent to CD) and X/Y stereo mic options, I pressed the red-dot slider and recording commenced. Three hours later, I had the entire session, occupying only about a third of the 2-gigabyte SD memory card furnished with the unit, and leaving the H2n still showing "full" on its admittedly sketchy battery-life icon.

The Dodge SRT-10 pickup may haul tons of ass off the line, but it sure is sluggish getting off the lot. A report, cited by Winding Road, indicates Dodge will discontinue the 500hp, V10-powered Ram at the end of the year, owing to sales of only 2,000 units. Dodge hasn't confirmed the report, but we think we just heard a glacier weeping with joy. [Thanks to Damon for the tip.]

1994 Jeep Wrangler YJ - Big Mini: Part 7Posted in Project Vehicles on May 21, 2014
In the November 2013 issue we brought you what was supposed to be the last installment for Big Mini. Carrying on its tradition of nothing fitting where it was supposed to, the torque converter didn't bolt-up. We were just going to hog out the flexplate to make it work and call it done. However, cooler heads prevailed and talked us out of our rotary tool.
As it turns out, not only shouldn't we have been able to bolt our LS-1 4L60E to our LT-1 engine, but the pump seal should have been munched by doing so. The driveshafts were the right length, the transmission mount and belly skid were all sorted out, and we had the Jeep generally ready to fire and drive. But we learned that if we tried to fire and/or drive the Jeep, we probably would have immediately toasted our transmission.
Since we consider automatics to be something close to black magic, we listened to the advice we were given and undid (once again) a lot of the stuff we'd installed, fabbed, and routed so that we could pull the transmission out and see exactly what we'd destroyed ("Automatic Rabbit Hole," May '14). We learned a ton about the 4L60E and a whole bunch of reasons why hogging the flexplate holes out was a bad idea. And we were glad, in theory, that we pulled it back apart again.
That said, we added the adapter kit from Pace Performance, which allowed us to bolt our LS-1 4L60E to our LT-1 engine. It was the lowest-cost option to solve our pickle. However, that pushed the transmission back in the frame, causing the tranny mount we'd built before not to work and our belly pan to hit the T-case. While we were in there redoing work we'd already done, we decided to make some improvements before taking it out on the trail. Of course, that opened a whole other can of worms.
We should have known better. Over the years that we've worked on this Jeep, nothing has gone where it was supposed to, and almost every part we put in had to be modified for one reason or another. Some projects are like that. This one might be Murphy's bedfellow. We've at times called this Jeep Christine, thought about having a nice little bonfire, and wanted to walk away from it more times than we'd care to admit. The minor improvements we decided to make in drivetrain positioning touched many more aspects of the build than we thought they would and caused us to redo many of the things we thought were done.
But we stuck with it for another beat-ourselves-in-the-head-with-a-hammer session and got it out on the trail -- finally. Granted, it still needs some finishing and polishing, but for now, it's time to work out the kinks of a Jeep brought back from the dead, drive it, and enjoy some of our hard work.
As we mentioned in the 4L60E story in the last issue, this adapter kit made by GM that we got from Pace Performance (PN 19154766) let us use the "wrong" 4L60E with our engine. At $206.95, it was a great solution to our problem, and we ended up with a 4L60E that was better than the ones that came behind the LT-1 originally. It sets the transmission back 5⁄8 inch, and we knew our existing transmission mount wouldn't accommodate that. However, we thought we'd be fine with drivelines and most everything else.
This is now the third installation of this transmission into this Jeep. We are building this Jeep on an inclined driveway and while it's not gravel, we still can't use any kind of wheeled jack to lift the transmission up. So, using a tree saver on our 'cage and a come-along, we were able to lift the transmission with relative ease. We wrapped the transmission with another strap, and after finding the balancing point, were able to use this come-along to lift it.
In the previous image, you might have noticed that the skidplate on the left has four mounting holes. If you've spent any time under your Jeep, you know that is one more than stock. The left skid is TnT's standard belly pan skid. The one on the right has five holes and was a custom-built part for us. If you can take responsibility for your measuring, TnT is more than happy to build custom parts like this for you as well. As for the added holes, TnT supplies these weld-in bungs and enough new bolts to bolt the skidplate in.
When we first installed the tranny/T-case combo, we didn't clock the Atlas II up because we didn't want to mess with the floor. We'd already Rhino Lined the inside of the Jeep and didn't want to screw that up. This time, we were hell-bent on a flat belly. We modified an air hammer bit by rounding it out and call this combo our "Atlas installation tool." It makes massaging the floor out of the way a lot easier than swinging a 3- or 5-pound maul over your head while lying on your back. We thought we'd have to cut the floor to clear, but didn't have to. We were even able to bolt the seats back in on their stock brackets.
The original belly skid we built covered from the front of the transmission oil pan to the back of the rear output on our Atlas II. It weighed 95 pounds. While this is transmission install number three, this is easily in the double digits for belly skid install/removals. We wanted something lighter. While we were reinstalling stuff, we decided we'd clock the Atlas II flat. These two 6061 aluminum skidplates are from TnT Customs. They offer 3 of additional ground clearance, and each skid is 63 pounds lighter than the steel skid we replaced.
Since we had Advance Adapter's super short adapter between our tranny and T-case, the black part is the trans mount. It is meant for a regular GM mount, but with our new flat belly pan that was just too tall. So we turned to Advance Adapters for this tranny mount (PN 716008) to reduce the overall height of the mount. However, because we were using the super short adapter, we had to modify our existing mount to clear the bushings. So, we lopped off the corners and welded new plates in to restore the strength we'd lost.
By this point, we'd had that black transmission mount bracket and the Atlas II out enough times that we were tired of the 1⁄16 of a turn on the wrench to remove the nuts from the studs sticking out the back of the transmission. So, we modified one of our 17mm wrenches so that the closed end of the wrench would slip between the nut and the face of the Atlas II. With our new Atlas-installing wrench, we are almost able to turn the nut 1⁄4 of a turn at a shot.
Here is what we ended up with. The bushings out at the frame might be excessive, but we wanted to be able to drop the entire crossmember out for easy access and removal should we end up with a transmission install number four in the future. Our belly skid and tranny mounts are completely separate so we can drop the skid easily without having to play around with supporting the drivetrain. Also, we had ordered the skid from TnT without any tranny mount provisions for that reason. However, the bottom of this tube is under 1⁄4 inch from the top of the skid, so even if we did hit the skid hard enough to make it deflect, it's got steel behind it to back it.
Our four-speed Atlas II weighs 150 pounds, and we were uncomfortable hanging that much weight off the back of our aluminum tranny. You know us, we love cast iron gearboxes and tend to not trust aluminum ones as much. We spent a lot of time researching good ways to support the Atlas, just in case. Advance Adapters advocates a triangular sort of setup (more on that later), so we discussed the idea with several KOH racers and teams that beat their stuff hard all the time. Before we got to build or modify our mount, Mel Wade at Off Road Evolution built this one. It did exactly what we wanted and appeared to have enough clearance to clear our flat belly skid.

But, of course, we wanted to run a brake assembly on the output of our Atlas, so we needed to change that mount just a bit. We figured the best way to do that was to go down there with the parts we had and compare them to what the company had already built, then modify it for a brake assembly. As it turns out, the best way to incorporate a brake into the previous mount was to use the brake stuff we had and modify it as seen here. Also, instead of using a GM trans mount, the company came up with the idea of using front JK upper shock mounts for the T-case tail mount.
Although we have our suspicions, we aren't sure exactly why the driveshafts that were bolted up before no longer worked. The rear was too long and the front too short. Sure, we moved the tranny and T-case back, but not that far, and sure, we clocked the T-case up… but again we didn't think that it would be enough to affect the drivelines. But it did, and so we boxed them up and sent them back to Tom Woods Custom Driveshafts, where for about $70 each the company was able to make them the right length for us again.
Engine Mount Engine Mount Transmission Mount To keep from breaking aluminum components in a regular Jeep, you want the drivetrain to be able to sort of rock naturally. Think about how it kicks over when you rev your engine. In a tube chassis, you can get away with hard-mounting stuff. In a regular Jeep where the frame will flex, it is important that the drivetrain can move independent of it. Not flopping around like a fish mind you, just some independent movement. It is also important if running extra mounts like we did that they are all roughly of the same stiffness. The poly mounts that Advance included with the 716008 kit were designed to have the same durometer as the company's engine mounts for that reason.
All of this work gets done in our driveway, which is on a mountain range that separates the desert from suburbia. Because of the different climates on either side of our mountain it is often too windy to weld in our driveway, so we occasionally make notes like this so that when the wind dies down we can get out there a lay some bead. In this case, we discovered that the factory missed the body mount with the weld bead, so we made ourselves a note and came back to weld the mount to the frame later.
Because our engine is set further forward in the frame to accommodate the longer 4L60E and four-speed Atlas II combination, we were never quite able to anchor the transmission dipstick to anything. It just sort of floated in the air between the engine and the firewall. We also had some trouble getting the tranny into first gear due to the way we had to route our cable. But it wasn't until the factory throttle cable ended up in a loop that touched the exhaust manifold that we had enough. You really do get what you pay for, and these Lokar parts fixed all our issues in one fell swoop. As an added bonus, they all installed in a matter of hours—just like they were supposed to.
We used the adjustable billet aluminum tranny shift arm to get first gear back, and it worked great. We also got a kick out of the company's sense of humor. Note the "transmission not included" notation on the instructions in the background.
Lokar's throttle cables are cut-to-fit, but you order a rough length to begin with. We were pretty close in our estimate. The lower mark is where the cable hits the bracket, and the upper mark is where we actually cut. We wrapped it with tape and cut it with a hacksaw, then we were able to get the aluminum ferrule back on by twisting it. From there, it is easy to get the actual cable cut to length.
The last thing was some power to start the Jeep, as in the months we had the transmission out this last time, we forgot to hook the old battery up to a charger and it died. We went with a Northstar battery from West Coast Batteries. It is a bit less expensive than some other flat-plate AGM batteries, but offers the same kind of kick. Since we are running just one battery, we wanted the peace of mind that comes with a quality battery.

Retrenchments and gambling: ACT findings
A higher proportion of Australian Capital Territory (ACT) retrenched people are older workers and approximately three-quarters of ACT people gambled in 1999-2000, according to findings released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Retrenchment Findings:
The proportion of people retrenched aged between 45 and 54 years increased from 17% in the three years to July 1997, to 29% in the three years to July 2001. The proportion of people retrenched aged between 55 and 64 years increased from 15% to 25% in the same period.
In comparison, the proportion of people retrenched aged between 18 and 24 years and 25 to 34 years, fell from 23% to 14% and 22% to 21% respectively over the same period. The proportion of people retrenched aged 35 to 44 years fell from 23% to 12% in the same period.
In the three years to July 2001, other retrenchment findings included:
The ACT, with the NT, had the lowest proportion of people retrenched (5% of the workforce).
The ACT recorded the second highest proportion of retrenched people born overseas (30% of all retrenchments) after WA (34%).
The proportion of ACT people in their job for over ten years when retrenched increased to 32%, up from 23% in the three years ending July 1997.
The most common reasons for retrenchments in the ACT were work shortages and job cuts (43% of all retrenchments), business closures (16%) and change of management (14%).
Nearly one-quarter (24%) of those retrenched in the ACT had less than one day prior notice.
Gambling Findings:
Approximately 75% of people in the ACT gambled in 1999-2000, with 36% gambling on a weekly basis according to findings from an examination of gambling and pubs, clubs, taverns and bars.
The ACT had the fourth highest net takings per head of adult population in 2000-01, at $951, compared with the national average of $944 per head.
ACT net takings from gambling per head of adult population rose 45% from 1994-95 to 2000-01, compared with a rise of 62% nationally.
Both the ACT and national figures revealed 2% of the adult population experienced problems with gambling.
From 1998 to 2001, findings showed a decrease in the number of clubs (down 10% to 61 premises) and pubs, taverns and bars (down 18% to 28 premises).
These findings and more details on the ACT's demography, labour force, prices, building and construction, crime and justice, finance, retail, economy, transport and climate are included in Australian Capital Territory Statistical Indicators (cat. no. 1367.8).

You could completely blow me off and I'll only be upset for a little while.
Now TOR, TOR is some good shit. I'd suggest you look it up. Look up what it is, how it works and why and all that good shiz. See if you can benefit from it. Keep in mind that TOR will be slower than a good (paid) VPN. But TOR is good for some anonymity. Just another two cents, a paid VPN really is worth it. You won't notice a difference in speed, yet sites will never know your actual IP address. A decent VPN can be less than five bucks a month, which in the long run is a solid deal.

A BIG thank you to Thomas MacEntee from GeneaBloggers who highlighted my blog in his Saturday blog post. Another BIG welcome and thank you to all of you who took the time to click the link and check out my blog. I welcome any comments and suggestions.
My grandfather's father, Raymond Mason Peterson, left the family soon after my grandpa was born. His maternal grandparents, Clarence and Elizabeth Brown (nee Galligan) adopted him as his birth mother, Ruth Margaret Brown was having trouble raising him alone during the great depression. My grandpa was an only child. After he was adopted, my grandpa took on the Brown name (maiden name of his birthmom). Although my grandpa is still alive, bringing up the past is difficult for him, and getting family stories or history from him is worse than pulling teeth.
Raymond and Ruth, September 1925, Chicago, IL
Here's what I know:
- Raymond Mason Peterson was born around 1908
- Raymond's nickname was "Ray"
- Raymond and Ruth Margaret Brown were married in Chicago, IL, between 1924-1929
- In August and September 1925, Raymond and Ruth are together in a picture in front of a building, address: 2634 W 15th Place, Chicago, IL
- Raymond and Ruth's first and only child was born in 1930 (*details left off, as son is still living)
- Raymond and Ruth were divorced between 1930-1937
- Raymond's brother owned the Peterson Funeral Home in Chicago, IL
- Raymond owned a tent and awning shop in Chicago, IL
Raymond and Ruth, August 1925, Chicago, IL
I don't know when he died, if he moved, or if he remarried, or his exact date of birth
Here's where I've looked:
- Chicago City Directories. I've found many Raymond or Ray Peterson's but are they my Raymond?
- Obituaries from Chicago Tribune....found over 20 with the name Raymond or Ray Peterson. I've been able to narrow it down to a couple, due to ages
- I've contacted the Peterson Funeral Home in Chicago via email to request information---no return email.
- Social Security Death Index (SSDI)--found a couple, best match shows he died in Arizona.
My plans:
- Request a copy of Raymond and Ruth's marriage and divorce record
- Re-contact Peterson Funeral Home via phone
Any other suggestions? Please let me know.

Elizabeth and Sr. Mary Stella have created a special Stations of the Cross for Lent 2014. They used wood from our garden and with very simple crosses, words and logs have created a very simple reflection on the Way of the Cross for people to follow in the garden. For all those who cannot follow this way with us in our gardens we have tried to create a virtual tour for you to follow. The reflections you will hear are taken from the book of the Right Reverend Michael Campbell OSA, Bishop of Lancaster. We hope the simplicity of the Stations and the beauty of the wood and the words will help you reflect and pray with us as we journey to Easter.
At the end of each station we invite you to pray the Our Father, the Hail Mary and the Glory be.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Harvard had the fastest lightweight collegiate crew at the Head of the Charles Regatta Sunday, finishing second to USRowing in the lightweight eights event at the world's largest two-day rowing event.
The strong performance by the Crimson, along with that of the Harvard heavyweights, helped secure the MacMahon Cup Regatta Point Trophy for the most total points by any club, school, college or university. The Crimson heavies won the men's championship eights race, while the Radcliffe heavyweight championship eight placed second and the Black and White lightweight eight finished third.
Harvard, competing for the first time since missing the 2011 national championship by one-fiftieth of a second, looked ready to contend again in the coming season. Princeton was the closest college squad to the Crimson, finishing more than 13 seconds back of Harvard. Fourth-place Georgetown and fifth-place Yale were each more than 21 seconds slower than the Crimson.
It took one of Harvard's own to defeat the Crimson. The only boat to finish ahead of Harvard's top crew was the USRowing entry stroked by Will Newell '11, the Crimson's captain last season and the older brother of current seven-seat Alex Newell. The U.S. boat posted a time of 14:27.7 on the three-mile course to defeat 16 teams.
The runner-up Crimson crew, coxed by Angela Chang, was Florian Mayr, Alex Newell, Tim Moore, Nicholas Gates, Stuart Taylor, Erich Schultze, Matt O'Leary and Michael Wales.
Harvard's B entry in the lightweight eights event and its lightweight four placed 13th.
On Saturday, The Crimson club four won its event. Harvard's boat posted a time of 17:17.7 to edge Yale. It was the third-fastest time in the event, but the two entries ahead of Harvard were found to have ineligible rowers. The club eight took 18th place out of 39 competing heavyweight and lightweight crews.
The Crimson's strong opening to the season came without two of last season's key athletes spending the year training with USRowing. Andrew Campbell and Austin Meyer teamed up for the USRowing Training Center-Oklahoma City to place second among 20 men's championship doubles. Campbell added a second runner-up performance Sunday, as he raced in the bow seat of a directors' challenge men's quad with fellow world-class scullers Gevvie Stone, Mahé Drysdale and Emma Twigg.
Freshman coach Linda Muri had a runner-up finish of her own, teaming up with Lindsay Burns Barber '87 in the women's master doubles. She added a win Sunday in the directors' challenge women's quad.

Juggernaut rolls on ... Roger Federer dismantles Milos Raonic. Source: Paul Crock / AAP
It was everything everyone's come to expect from Roger Federer - relentless, error-free tennis to bemuse, break down and eventually beat another Grand Slam opponent.
Big-serving Canadian Milos Raonic found himself kicked to the Australian Open fourth round kerb by Federer despite doing little wrong on Monday night.
Australian Open: Mens Singles
Round 4, 21/01/13
|Rao (13)
|Fed (2)
But the barest of openings offered by the 13th seed were enough for Federer to pierce his defences, and win 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 6-2 to book a quarter-final showdown with Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
How a match which barely moved off serve became the Swiss master's in straight sets in under two hours was classic Federer.
Raonic's serve faltered just once in a 10-game opening set - in the last game as Federer increased the pressure exponentially, then took full advantage of his only set point.
In the second set, the Canadian then held his nerve and his serve through to roll into a tie-break.
Missed a result? Catch all the Australian Open score here!
The early signs were good, until the No.2 seed uncorked a couple of huge winners to take an advantage, then whipped in a superb forehand winner backed by a guttural roar to seal it.
Raonic's spirit was broken along with his serve in the opening game of the third set, and Federer backed the truck over him again for a second service break soon after.
The highlight of the set - and perhaps of the match - was Federer's deft drop shot return on Raonic's serve which fell dead just over the net cord in the fifth game.
Federer's match against Tsonga will be his 35th consecutive appearance in a Grand Slam quarter-final.
Federer was particularly thrilled with his opening to the third set and his ability to deal with Raonic's huge serve - clocked at one point at more than 230km/h.
"You try to anticipate it a little bit, try to get a feel for it,'' Federer said.
"I'm so happy with the way I played.''
The 31-year-old also did not face a single break point on his own serve, and produced just 12 unforced errors in the match.

On Friday, all three network morning shows fretted over a woman
throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton during a speaking event in Las Vegas.
NBC Today co-host Tamron Hall was particularly melodramatic: "I mean, but how scary is that?...Had it hit her, that would have been awful. It would have been awful." Weatherman Al Roker added: "Jeez, that's frightening." Hall declared: "It's hard for me to watch, actually." [Listen to the audio]
The shoe was on the other foot in 2008, when an Iraqi journalist threw two shoes at then-President George W. Bush during a Baghdad press conference. At that time, ABC and CBS referred to the shoe-thrower as a "celebrity" and "folk hero" who "thrilled the Arab world." In 2009, then-MSNBC host David Shuster actually cheered the release of the footwear assailant from prison. Tamron Hall happened to be on the show at the time and observed that people would have been "more outraged" if someone threw a shoe at President Obama.
By contrast, on Friday's ABC Good Morning America, White House
correspondent Jon Karl reported: "Hillary Clinton took that with good
humor. But it was a scary moment." Co-host George Stephanopoulos
remarked: "Yeah, Hillary Clinton, quick with the quip. But that was a
scary moment there for a second."
On CBS This Morning, co-host Charlie Rose observed that Clinton "handled that quite well" before noting that the thrower was "facing federal charges." Fellow co-host Norah O'Donnell gushed: "You know, it was amazing to see how calm she [Hillary Clinton] was....she didn't really react much at all and had a great retort, you know?" Rose agreed: "It was amazing." O'Donnell concluded: "Incredible, indeed."
In 2008, concerns over Bush's safety were less important to the networks, who seized on that shoe-throwing incident as a gaffe that showed his unpopularity.
Here are transcripts of the coverage on the April 11 morning shows:
TAMRON HALL: Well, who's not in good shape is this person who's been arrested and now charged with throwing a shoe at Hillary Clinton. It happened in Las Vegas. Take a look here. The former secretary of state giving a speech. And then listen to her reaction. That's a shoe going past her.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: She's Got Sole; Hillary Clinton Dodges Shoe During Speech]
AL ROKER: Whoa.
NATALIE MORALES: There you go. She dodged that one.
HALL: And take a listen to-
ROKER: Well, she didn't really dodge it. She just missed her, thankfully.
MORALES: Bad aim.
HALL: The woman there with the blonde hair is the person who goes out with her hands up, she's taken into custody. But listen to Hillary Clinton's reaction.
HILLARY CLINTON: Was that part of Cirque du Soleil?
ROKER: "Was that part of Cirque du Soleil?"
MORALES: Cirque du Soleil.
HILLARY CLINTON: What was that, a bat? Was that a bat? That's somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque du Soleil? Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did.
HALL: Her reaction was priceless. I mean, but how scary is that? She thought it was a bat, so it didn't process what was really happening. But that shoe came so close to her face. Had it hit her, that would have been awful. It would have been awful. But this woman is in custody. We don't know a lot about her at this point. But we do know.
ROKER: Jeez, that's frightening.
HALL: It's hard for me to watch, actually.
Good Morning America
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: On another front, another politician, high-profile politician under fire in a different way. Hillary Clinton out in Las Vegas, you see it right there, she took a shoe right – whizzing right by her head. And here's what she had to say about it.
[ON-SCREEN HEADLINE: Shoe Thrown at Hillary Clinton; Woman in Federal Custody]
HILLARY CLINTON: Recycling, about two – what was that? A bat? Was that a bat? That's somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque du Soleil? My goodness. I didn't know solid waste management was so controversial.
JON KARL: Well, as you can hear-
CLINTON: Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did.
KARL: As you can hear there, George, Hillary Clinton took that with good humor. But it was a scary moment. Reminiscent, of course, you remember that time when George W. Bush had two shoes thrown at him at a press conference in Baghdad.
As for the woman who did it, no indication of who she is yet. They haven't identified her by name. And no indication as to why she threw that shoe.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Yeah, Hillary Clinton, quick with the quip. But that was a scary moment there for a second. Okay, Jon Karl, thanks very much. We'll have all the week's politics Sunday on This Week.
CBS This Morning
CHARLIE ROSE: And the Las Vegas Sun says a woman threw a shoe at former secretary of state Hillary Clinton. She ducked out of the way.
HILLARY CLINTON: It's already recycling about two – was that a bat? That's somebody throwing something at me? Is that part of Cirque du Soleil? Thank goodness she didn't play softball like I did.
ROSE: Boy, she handled that quite well, didn't she?
NORAH O'DONNELL: She really did.
ROSE: We don't know why the woman threw the shoe, but she is facing federal charges.
O'DONNELL: You know, it was amazing to see how calm she was.
ROSE: It was, exactly.
O'DONNELL: Yeah, she didn't really react much at all and had a great retort, you know?
ROSE: About Cirque du Soleil.
O'DONNELL: About Cirque du Soleil. And saying, "Glad she didn't play softball like I did." Maybe she would have had a better throw.
ROSE: It was amazing.
O'DONNELL: Incredible, indeed.

I'm not much of a country music fan, but at this point I'm in favor of anything happening at Wrigley Field that gets people excited.
On Thursday, country music star Jason Aldean (a nominee for Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards, as I'm sure y'all know) confirmed that he will perform July 20, 2013 at Wrigley Field, with opening acts Kelly Clarkson, Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Nov. 3.
After the big announcement I spoke to the 35-year-old singer about Chicago's country music fans, hearing Wrigley concerts for free and booking his own show at the stadium.
There aren't a ton of country concerts downtown in Chicago; they're usually in the suburbs. What sense do you have of the country audience in Chicago as far as city or suburbs?
I don't really think much about it in terms of city, suburbs. I think of it in terms of just Chicago in general. We've been forutnate enough to play a couple shows here over the last couple of years. And both of those shows have been unbelievable. We've sold both of them out at one of the biggest amphitheaters in the country [First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre]. So obviously we've always had a lot of support here in Chicago. The fans have always been very good to us. That's kind of what's cool about this is to be able to come in and do another show in Chicago but also do something that's a little different, kind of make a special event out of it.
Not all artists are in favor of people hanging out and hearing the show for free. How do you feel about that?
[Laughs] Hey, obviously I would much rather 'em be in here watching the show, but hopefully it'll be sold out and there will be people that if they want to listen to the show that much, go for it, man.
What's the biggest thing they'll be missing out there?
I think if you want to hear music you go and buy the CD. If you watch a show and come to see something a little more, I think that's why people actually show up to a concert. It's one thing to listen to music; it's another to get the full experience and watch the show and the interaction with any artist and the crowd and things like that.
If you booked a concert here, who's someone you'd want to see at Wrigley?
I've always been a big Aerosmith fan and I've never had the chance to see those guys in concert, so I would probably try to book those guys.
Do you have any favorites in Chicago as far as bars, restuarants or any other things you like to do in town?
I'm a big baseball fan, and I was talking about this earlier: To me coming here during baseball season and just watching, the stadium and how it's such a big baseball place. During the game there's people walking around and just kind of in and out of all the little bars around here, that's something I didn't expereince as a Braves fan in Georgia. We just don't have that kind of feel. To me coming out here and coming to a game and just experiencing that, game day here in Wrigley and just around the stadium, to me is just one of the coolest things about chicago.
Are you a ketchup or mustard person on your hot dog?
Mustard. Mustard only.
Is someone who puts ketchup on being sacrilegious?
Hey, I'm not judging. Mustard is my thing.
How badly do you want to run around the bases right now?
Pretty bad, but it's raining and it's cold so pretty sure if I was to run around the bases I'd pull a hamstring right now.

Latest Tokyo Earthquake Projection: 9,700 Could Die

In the wake of last year's devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, the Tokyo metropolitan government has revised its own disaster scenarios for the first time in six years. The chilling result: As many as 9,700 people could die if a big earthquake were to strike near the capital.
That projection is for one of four earthquake scenarios prepared by a Tokyo government panel of earthquake experts, in a 400-page report released Wednesday. It assumes a Magnitude 7.3 earthquake centered in the Tokyo Bay hits at 6 p.m. on a winter evening, with winds blowing at a speed of eight meters per second. The casualty rate is more than 3,000 people higher than estimated in a similar scenario in Tokyo's 2006 report.
About 57% of those deaths would result from earthquake damage and the rest from fires, which would be spread across the city's 23 wards, the report says. The earthquake could be followed by a tsunami that reaches a maximum of 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) in Shinagawa ward, a district of southeastern Tokyo that borders the bay. About 300,000 buildings would be completely destroyed, many burnt to the ground. Meanwhile, 147,600 would be injured and 5.16 million people would be stranded and unable to go home, the report says.
The other disaster scenarios included one that imagined what would happen if the Magnitude 8.2 Genroku earthquake -- which killed 2,300 and triggered a major tsunami that claimed another 6,500 lives in 1703 -- struck today (the report estimates only 5,900 deaths, since Genroku hit offshore further south than the Tokyo Bay). It also estimated the damage if a Magnitude 7.4 earthquake hit at the Tachikawa fault line in western Tokyo (2,600 projected dead).
All the scenarios in the current report -- like other post-March 11 re-evaluations -- assume more severe disaster conditions than previous reports had. This time, all the earthquake scenarios exceeded a seismic intensity of 7, while in 2006 one scenario only assumed a magnitude of 6.9. The higher threshold seems appropriate, since research conducted by the Tokyo University Earthquake Research Institute earlier this year said there was a 70% probability the capital will face a Magnitude 7 or bigger earthquake by 2016. The forecast has since been revised downward to about a 50% chance within the four years.
Last year's March 11 Magnitude 9 earthquake and tsunami claimed more than 19,000 lives.
The latest Tokyo government report also factors in the recent discovery that the tectonic plates beneath Tokyo are shallower than previously thought.
The Tokyo government will begin to formulate revised disaster preparedness plans in September, based on this latest report.
A summary of the expert panel's report can be viewed here (in Japanese).

Colonial-era Seekonk landmark rises from the ashes
Old Grist Mill Tavern destroyed in fire
When a tractor-trailer truck carrying a load of bananas smashed into the Old Grist Mill Tavern restaurant in Seekonk last summer, setting off a spectacular blaze, the town lost a treasured piece of its history dating back more than 250 years.
First used to grind grain by local farmers in the days before the Revolutionary War, the mill became a restaurant in 1938 and became a place of memories for friends and families from all over the area who gathered for countless retirement parties, birthday celebrations, baby showers and funeral receptions.
Photos: Historic restaurant destroyed in fire
The landmark at Fall River and Arcade avenues survived a fire in 1957 — and like a phoenix, it will rise again.
A month after the early morning crash on June 24, the zoning board voted unanimously for a special permit and variance to pave the way for the reconstruction by owner Gregory Esmay, who has owned the property for 13 years. Other town boards will have to hear his plans, but Esmay said after the zoning board hearing that he hopes to reopen early next year.
The fiery crash occurred around 5:45 on a Sunday morning, when the truck tipped over and slid into the building hours before the restaurant would have been packed with brunch customers.
An investigation by state and local police later determined that the banana company improperly loaded the trailer by failing to put spacers between the pallets of product.
The company — Chiquita Fresh North America of Cincinnati, Ohio — was cited by authorities.
The driver, who was taken to Rhode Island Hospital in Providence but escaped serious injury, was not cited for any traffic violations because police determined there was no evidence he was speeding or impaired.
The truck ruptured gas service to the restaurant, igniting a gas-fueled blaze and setting off a dispute between town officials and Columbia Gas over its response to the fire to shut off gas valves.
Despite the heavy damage, a lawyer and engineer for the owner said the floors, stonework and substructure remained.
"I was pleasantly surprised to see how much of the building was intact," Seekonk lawyer Stephen Navega told town officials a month after the fire.
In addition to being a historic landmark, the restaurant employed 32 full-timers, not including seasonal help, and paid about $85,000 a year in property and meals taxes, according to Navega.
While the owner plans to rebuild, town and state officials are searching for a way to make the intersection — long considered one of the most dangerous in the state — safer.
The restaurant sits at the intersection where Fall River Avenue curves around at Arcade Avenue and where Mill Street intersects with Arcade and joins with Fall River Avenue. The bewildering layout is controlled only with blinking traffic signals, and cars able to go in six directions.
In November, selectmen approved a plan for a traffic signal option over a proposal for a two-lane roundabout for the Fall River Avenue and Arcade Avenue intersection.
