paragraph: James Robert Tyrrell

paragraph: James Robert Tyrrell (3 July 1875 – 30 July 1961), often referred to as Jim Tyrrell, was an Australian bookseller, art dealer, publisher and author. He enjoyed a career of seven decades in the booktrade and was esteemed in his era as the "doyen of Sydney booksellers". He wrote a standard history of early bookselling in Australia entitled "Old Books, Old Friends, Old Sydney".

paragraph: Section::::Early life and career.

paragraph: Tyrrell was born on 3 July 1875 in Darlington, New South Wales, an inner city suburb of Sydney. His father, George, was born in England and, after serving in the Crimean War, migrated to New South Wales to try his luck on the goldfields. His mother, Mary, née Colgan, was born in Ireland and migrated to Queensland.

paragraph: He attended school in Balmain and Petersham, and earned pocket money by selling newspapers at Petersham station for the N.S.W. Bookstall Company. At the age of 15, he began to work for the Sydney bookselling firm, Angus and Robertson. His duties in those days included running errands, delivering books and keeping an eye on the books displayed outside the shop. He was working 64 hours a week for which received 7/6 [7 shillings and 6 pence]. George Robertson, one of the proprietors of Angus and Robertson, encouraged Tyrrell to learn and suggested a reading programme for him. As Tyrrell gained experience and knowledge of books and bookselling, he set up a small shop (with Robertson's encouragement) which sold books at night near Sydney University. Robertson also permitted him to build his personal library by choosing from Angus and Robertson's discards.

paragraph: When Angus and Robertson moved to Castlereagh Street, Tyrrell was able to meet and converse with the many writers, artists and collectors who gathered there.

paragraph: In 1897-98 Tyrrell, who was by then an Australiana expert, became Angus and Robertson's chief buyer in London and Edinburgh.

paragraph: Section::::Tyrrell's Bookshop.

paragraph: In 1907 Tyrrell, "with a capital of two hundred pounds saved over 17 years" started his own bookselling business known as Tyrrell's Bookshop at the corner of Castlereagh and Market Streets. in 1910 he moved to Adelaide, South Australia, where he started a business known as Tyrrell's Ltd., located at 128 Gawler Place and that dealt in both books and in art. While in Adelaide, he became friends with poet C. J. Dennis and others associated with The Gadfly literary journal.

paragraph: In 1914 he returned to Sydney and opened a new business at 22 Castlereagh Street, again dealing in both books and art. While at his address he commenced a third business activity—publishing—which saw a growing catalogue of publications, including works by the Australian writer and bush poet Henry Lawson, Australian poet, novelist and journalist Zora Cross and the cartoonist David Low. One of the books published by Tyrrell in 1914 was Sydney Ure Smith's "Relics of Old Colonial Days: A Book of Drawings" (a limited edition of 500 copies, which are now sought after items).

paragraph: Tyrrell was fascinated in collectable items. He purchased the "established Hunter Street business, Antiques Ltd." and in 1924 bought out Tost and Rohu, an old-established firm dealing in "furs, curios, opals, and South Sea Island mementoes".

paragraph: Growing business compelled him to move his business first "next door to A. & R.'s and then in 1935 to 281 George Street (near Wynyard Station), where he remained for many years".

paragraph: In 1955 he moved his business to 202 George Street, not far from Circular Quay.

paragraph: Section::::Legacy.

paragraph: In his book "Old Books, Old Friends, Old Sydney" (1952) and its sequel "Postscript: Further Bookselling Reminiscences" (1957), Tyrrell has left us a record of a "formative period in Australian cultural history", principally the years 1888-1905.

paragraph: In a series of finely-honed observations, mainly in anecdotal form, these books provide portraits of the "bookfellows" that he knew: booksellers such as Robertson, Dymock and Wymark; writers such as Lawson, Paterson, Archibald, C. J. Dennis, Brennan and Brereton; artists and illustrators such as the Lindsays and Low; book collectors such as Mitchell and Dixon; book-loving public figures such as Parkes and Hughes; and international visitors to Sydney such as Twain and Stevenson.

paragraph: Tyrrell was an avid bibliophile and a keen student and collector of Australiana. He had one of the largest private collections of books in Sydney. He purchased the vast photographic archive of Kerry & Co., "Sydney's largest photographic studio of the late 1800s and early 1900s". Tyrrell named his purchase The Tyrrell Collection and originally intended it to be displayed in a private museum of ethnography. In 1980, after this plan did not come to fruition, the collection finally passed to the Australian Consolidated Press, which in turn donated many of the images to major Australian museums and libraries, such as the Powerhouse Museum and the National Library of Australia.

paragraph: Section::::Reception.

paragraph: Literary figures would often gather in Tyrrell's shops, which acted as stimulating cultural centres. For example, the roomy Castlereagh bookshop:

paragraph: became "a veritable treasurehouse" ... where artists, writers and collectors met to browse, to bargain or just to talk. It was crammed with paintings, prints, china, bronze, jade, ivories, coins, medals, and, of course, books.

paragraph: To express their gratitude several wrote poems, including: Henry Lawson's "The Song of Tyrrell's Bell" Kenneth Slessor's "In Tyrrell's Bookshop", and Roderic Quinn's "Tyrrell's Bookshop".

paragraph: Section::::Personal life and death.

paragraph: James Tyrrell married Matilda Bourne of Dunedin, New Zealand on 17 August 1898. They had a son, James Eric, and a daughter, Dorothy. One of James's brothers, George, was a secondhand bookseller in lower William Street, Sydney.

paragraph: He died in Cammeray, Sydney on 30 July 1961.

paragraph: After his death Tyrrell's Bookshop was managed by his son John and his grandson William ("Bill"). In 1971 it moved to 328 Pacific Highway, Crows Nest.

He was senior lecturer in government at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria from 1961–63, and became Professor of Politics at the University of Strathclyde.

paragraph: Mackintosh contested Edinburgh Pentlands in 1959 and Berwick and East Lothian in 1964. He was elected Member of Parliament for Berwick and East Lothian in 1966. In the February 1974 general election against the national trend, he lost his seat to the Conservative Michael Ancram, but regained it merely months later at the October 1974 election.

paragraph: Later in life, Mackintosh became Chair and Professor of Politics at the University of Edinburgh, where he managed to balance his duties in the House of Commons with teaching students, a role he enjoyed. He was a strong supporter of formal lectures and would deliver his remarks written out all in longhand. This style of presentation did his students no harm: during the last year of his life he taught an introductory undergraduate course on political philosophy in 20 lectures; at the end of this series, the students gave him a standing ovation.

paragraph: He wrote widely in the academic press and also for the educated general reader. He first wrote on devolution in 1966, publishing, "The Devolution of Power". His best known book, however, was "The British Cabinet", first published in 1968. Other works include: "The Government and Politics of Britain" (1970), revised twice; "Nigerian Government and Politics" (1968); and "British Prime Ministers in the Twentieth Century" (Editor-1977). He was a prolific academic writer and authored scores of academic analyses.

paragraph: Mackintosh had a regular column in "The Times" and "The Scotsman" newspapers. He was an accomplished broadcaster and lecturer, appearing regularly on television and giving public lectures. He was also the Editor of "The Political Quarterly", and Chairman of the Hansard Society.

paragraph: John Mackintosh died in office in 1978, aged 48. His successor in the resulting by-election was John Home Robertson.

paragraph: He was a dedicated constituency MP. His agent, Gerald O'Brian, recalled at his memorial service that Mackintosh, "only once lost his temper with me when I caused him to miss a constituency General Management Committee meeting – it was the only one he ever missed". He was extremely fond of East Lothian and is buried in the churchyard in Gifford.

paragraph: Mackintosh was a forceful proponent of devolution to Scotland. He famously said in the House of Commons in 1976 : "People in Scotland want a degree of government for themselves. It is not beyond the wit of man to devise the institutions to meet these demands". This quote is engraved on the threshold of the Donald Dewar Room at Holyrood. The late Donald Dewar, First Minister of Scotland, said of John Mackintosh's lifelong belief in devolution:

paragraph: "His ideas had a lasting influence. ...[He] was a powerful advocate for devolution...John was something of a prophet, a mighty champion of reform at a time when constitutional change was not an approved and certainly not a fashionable cause. At the core he always placed democratic control, the empowering of the people. He did not base his argument on nationalism. It was not the glorification of the Nation state. It was never Scotland right or wrong. His vision was good government, an equitable democracy, that borrowed, elevated, created opportunity for the citizen."

paragraph: An annual memorial lecture was founded by ARTHUR GREENAN, his friends in the constituency and colleagues in Edinburgh University. The Lecture is held, alternating between East Lothian and Edinburgh University. Past speakers have included: Jack McConnell, MSP, First Minister of Scotland; John Kenneth Galbraith; Neil Kinnock; John Smith; Donald Dewar former First Minister of Scotland; and Gordon Brown MP, among others.

paragraph: The continued salience of Mackintosh's thinking on Scottish devolution has also been underscored in "The Scotsman" by Iain Gray, former Leader of the Scottish Labour Party.

paragraph: After his death, two volumes of essays were published: "Mackintosh on Scotland" edited by Henry Drucker (1982) and "Mackintosh on Parliament and Social Democracy" edited by David Marquand (1983).

paragraph: Alexander Stewart, Earl of Mar

paragraph: Alexander Stewart (c. 13751435) was a Scottish nobleman, Earl of Mar from 1404. He acquired the earldom through marriage to the hereditary countess, and successfully ruled the northern part of Scotland.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: He was an illegitimate son of Alexander Stewart, Earl of Buchan and probably Mairead inghean Eachainn.

paragraph: Alexander held the Earldom of Mar and the Lordship of the Garioch jure uxoris, in right of his first wife Isabel Douglas, Countess of Mar (died 1408). Alexander's marriage to Isabella followed his capture of Kildrummy Castle, and Isabella with it, in 1404. He had forced her to execute a charter (August 12) settling the reversion to the earldom on himself and his heirs. This act she is belevied to have revoked in September, but on marrying him, on the 9th of December 1404, she granted him the earldom for life, the king confirming this on the 21st of June 1405. These events sent major shockwaves throughout the kingdom and Alexander only escaped punishment because he was a close relation to the Royal Family. His possession of the Earldom was later regularised in 1424 by grant of his cousin, King James I.

paragraph: He was a close supporter of his uncle Robert Stewart, Duke of Albany, who was then ruler of the kingdom as regent for his brother King Robert III of Scotland. Robert had been badly injured when he was kicked by his horse. Alexander led the so-called "Lowland" army, in fact that of the north-east and eastern Highlands, against Domhnall of Islay, Lord of the Isles at the bloody and indecisive battle of Harlaw in 1411.

paragraph: Unlike his father, who had been unable to keep the peace in the fractious north-east, Alexander, Walter Bower says, "ruled with acceptance nearly all of the north of the country beyond the Mounth". He achieved this not by using different methods from his father but by his ability to keep his cateran forces in check and to use them to protect his extensive lands when needed; the result was that the lowland areas of Aberdeenshire and Moray were protected.

paragraph: Alexander sat on the jury of 21 knights and peers that convicted his first cousin Murdoch Stewart, Duke of Albany, and two of his sons of treason in 1424, leading to their execution and the virtual annihilation of the Stewarts of Albany.

paragraph: Section::::Marriages and children.

paragraph: Alexander first married Isabel Douglas, Countess of Mar (died 1408). Alexander later married Marie van Hoorn, daughter of Willem, Lord of Duffel, in 1410. He died without having a legitimate male heir, and the Earldom of Mar reverted to the crown.

paragraph: He had two illegitimate children:

paragraph: BULLET::::- Thomas, who married Elizabeth, the widow of John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Buchan, who was daughter of Archibald Douglas, 4th Earl of Douglas and Margaret Stewart, Lady of Galloway

paragraph: Carsten Bohn

paragraph: Carsten Bohn (born 18 August 1948) is a German drummer and composer. He was the drummer for the German progressive rock band Frumpy from 1969 to 1972 and had a long career in the German music scene.

paragraph: He has recorded with Peter Baumann (ex-Tangerine Dream) and played as Drummer with the Jan Hammer Band

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Already in his youth he performed at Hamburg's legendary Star-Club (where the Beatles started out), acting as the drummer in a variety of bands that gained a measure of local popularity. His breakthrough in Europe came in 1970 with Frumpy.

paragraph: The funky lounge sound of Carsten Bohn's soundtrack music for children's audio story books from the 1970s and 1980s has long been a hit in Germany. Between 1970 and 1972, Carsten Bohn was the leader and drummer of Frumpy, the German "Kraut Rock" band headlined by the Hamburg-born blues singer Inga Rumpf.

paragraph: Bohn was already a fixture in the German music business when, as BERT BRAC, he began composing music for audio story books. The music accompanying the audiobooks became just as popular as the stories themselves. Bohn's work was concentrated on multiple audio book series in which he left his own mark with his music.

paragraph: The record labels responsible for the audio story books, without Bohn's knowledge or permission, used his work to accompany the story telling in at least 16 audio book series totalling approximately 170 individual episodes. Bohn engaged Europa Records in a legal battle for copyright infringement that continues today, with the result that neither the record label nor Bohn were allowed to publish the original music used for the audio books. The publishers of the old audio books had to re-record them with new music not composed by Bohn. This resulted in a full-blown run by fans on the early editions of Bohn's vinyl recordings. Special editions from that time, featuring full-length versions of Bohn's music, are sought-after collectors' items. In Germany, the original vinyl LP of some of his recordings can command very high prices, in the region of $US 250. In addition, communities of fans took the trouble to remaster the new audio books, replacing "alien music" with songs from Bohn's older creations, and distributed them in a private pool.

paragraph: In 1973, Bohn formed the group Dennis, named after his son born in 1971

paragraph: Between 1977–1981 Bohn formed Carsten Bohn's Bandstand and recorded 3 LP's with different lineups. He was member (drummer) of the Jan Hammer Band between 1982 and 1983 along with Colin Hodgkinson and Jack Bruce, touring the US and Europe.

paragraph: Bohn has attempted twice to reform Frumpy, once in 1976, and once in 1989. The 1989 revival resulted in the release of two studio albums, and a live album in 1995.

paragraph: In 2004, Bohn and his band, Carsten Bohn's Bandstand, re-recorded the audio book music released by his own BigNoteRecords label, for re-release. Vol. I & II of a planned CD trilogy series were issued in 2004 and 2005 respectively. The songs therein feature Bohn's signature lounge beat which enjoy cult status among followers. For these re-recordings, the same instruments and equipment used to make the original recordings were used in order to replicate the original 1970s' and 1980s' recorded performances as closely as possible.

paragraph: Michael Johnson (footballer, born 1988)

paragraph: Michael Johnson (born 3 March 1988) is an English former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

paragraph: Johnson was a product of the Leeds United, Excelsior, Everton and Manchester City youth academies. He made his Premier League debut for City during the 2006–07 season and went on to become somewhat of a first team regular. While with City he was an England youth international, for both the under-19 and under-21 teams.

paragraph: Several injury setbacks that started during the 2008–09 season hampered his progress and he went on to only make four appearances for City in his final five years of his contract, playing his final match in a League Cup tie against Scunthorpe United in 2009. During the 2011–12 season Johnson was loaned out to Leicester City on a season long loan deal, but it was cut short due to injury. He was released from his contract with Manchester City in December 2012, over two years since his last appearance for the club.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Youth career.

paragraph: Johnson began his youth career with Leeds United, joining Excelsior in 2000 and Everton in 2002. He joined his only senior club Manchester City in 2004, graduating to the first team in 2006. He was part of the Manchester City youth team that reached the . Growing up he supported Leeds United and in 2010, after being linked with the club, was quoted as saying: "I've always been a Leeds fan and I'd love to play for them".

paragraph: Johnson was skipper of the FA Youth Cup runners-up team in the absence of Micah Richards during the 2005–06 season and became the 20th Academy Graduate to progress from Platt Lane to the City first team, making his debut away for manager Stuart Pearce at Wigan on 21 October 2006. His ability to run with the ball, score goals and operate box-to-box caught the eye both locally and nationally.

paragraph: Section::::Club career.:Manchester City.

paragraph: On 21 October 2006, he was rewarded for his progress and made his Manchester City debut in the Premier League, in a 4–0 defeat by Wigan Athletic at the JJB Stadium. His second start came in a 2–0 win over Middlesbrough in March 2007, the start of a run of seven consecutive first team appearances, which was ended by a hamstring injury which ruled him out of a match against Aston Villa.

paragraph: He scored his first goal for City in a 1–0 win over Derby County on 15 August 2007 at the City of Manchester Stadium; the first home league goal City had scored since the new year. Johnson spent the end of 2007 and early 2008 out of the team with an abdominal injury during which time he would have a double-hernia operation. He returned to action on 29 February 2008, playing the full 90 minutes in City's goal-less home draw with Wigan. Johnson finished the 2007–08 season with three goals.

paragraph: Johnson started the 2008–09 season in good form, linking well with players such as Stephen Ireland and Elano in the first few matches of the season, however after this, Johnson failed to feature for nearly a year due to a recurrence of his abdominal injury after City's League Cup defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion on 24 September 2008. He would not return for nearly seven months when he played for the reserve team in April, but Johnson would not feature for the first team until the following pre-season.

paragraph: Johnson made his return to action in City's pre-season match against South African team Orlando Pirates during the Vodacom Challenge, but a strain picked up in the warm-up for the next match ruled him out. Johnson made his first appearance of the 2009–10 season on 28 September 2009 in a 3–1 victory over West Ham United, coming on as a sub for Gareth Barry. On 28 October, Johnson scored his first goal in over a year in a League Cup tie against Scunthorpe United. On 10 December 2009, Manchester City announced that Johnson had suffered a serious knee injury in training which ruled him out of action until the end of the season.

paragraph: On 27 July 2011, Johnson signed a season-long loan deal with Leicester City, managed by former Manchester City manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. However, his loan spell ended prematurely, in January 2012, when he sustained an injury, after making only nine appearances for the club.

paragraph: In January 2013, it was reported that Johnson had been released from Manchester City prior to 25 December 2012. This was revealed after a photograph surfaced of him looking overweight and unfit. Johnson had only made four competitive first team appearances for City in his final five seasons, failing to make a single appearance for the club in the last three campaigns.

paragraph: The apparent demise of his promising career was lamented by a number of those that had worked with him. Former Manchester City teammate Dietmar Hamann described him as an "outstanding" midfielder that reminded him of his Germany teammate Michael Ballack. Former manager Eriksson noted that he was "An excellent player ... everyone thought he would become the next big star for England". City manager Roberto Mancini said "A guy with a big talent – I am sad for him".

paragraph: Section::::International career.

paragraph: Johnson represented England at under-19 level and under-21 level.

paragraph: Section::::Personal life.

paragraph: Johnson was born in Urmston, Greater Manchester.

paragraph: In February 2012 Johnson was arrested for drink driving when police in Manchester city centre pulled him over and breathalysed him. While on bail for this offence, he was arrested again following a crash in the early hours in Trafford. Then again on June 2012 Johnson was arrested on suspicion of drink driving at the scene of a collision after he crashed his Mercedes into a parked car while travelling to his girlfriend's house in Urmston. In September 2012 he was fined a total of £5,500 for all three offences by Manchester Magistrates Court.

paragraph: In an interview with the "Manchester Evening News" following his release from Manchester City, he revealed that he that had been under treatment for several years by The Priory Clinic for mental health problems. Johnson added that he "would be grateful if I could now be left alone to live the rest of my life."

paragraph: John Hoskins (officer)

paragraph: Vice Admiral John Madison Hoskins (October 22, 1898 – March 30, 1964) was an officer and aviator in the United States Navy. Four years after graduating the United States Naval Academy, Hoskins entered flight school and served his entire career in naval aviation, eventually commanding aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean during World War II. Despite losing his right foot in an explosion aboard (CVL-23) in 1944, Hoskins refused retirement and went on to serve as the first commanding officer of the new (CV-37). After the war, Hoskins became a leading proponent of jet aircraft on carriers, was assigned to training command of the first naval aviators designated for carrier assignment, and himself flew as commanding officer of the flight demonstration which convinced the Department of the Navy that jet aircraft should be a part of the aircraft carrier's fixed-wing complement.

paragraph: In the early days of the Korean War, Hoskins's was the first carrier group on station following the outbreak of hostilities on the Korean peninsula; the naval flight group under his command based on was the first to give airborne support to retreating South Korean army units. While he was commanding officer of "Valley Forge", the carrier and her aircraft were twice deployed to the war zone to repel advances by the enemy and were major contributors to the successful Inchon landings. Before his retirement, he was made the subject of a 1955 biographical film by Republic Pictures entitled "The Eternal Sea" with Sterling Hayden and Alexis Smith portraying Hoskins and his wife Sue.

paragraph: Section::::Early life and education.

paragraph: Hoskins was born on October 22, 1898, to Thomas Jefferson and Lucy Renfro Hoskins in Pineville, Kentucky, the county seat of Bell County. The youngest of six children, Hoskins only completed one year of high school and had a difficult time gaining entrance to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland, having to take the written entrance examinations three times and physical examination four times before gaining entrance one month shy of his 19th birthday.

paragraph: Hoskins had a hard time getting through his first year at the academy, ranking 299 out of 300 classmates academically. He also lagged behind his classmates physically, needing continuing special instruction to pass swimming tests. Hoskins improved his class ranking to 201 by the end of his senior year but also accumulated 123 demerits. Classmates remember Midshipman Hoskins as being "the loudest and most obnoxious snorer", but was saluted by classmates in the Academy yearbook as a ladies' man, "He can convince any femme that she is the best friend he has in the world ... any chaperone that her presence is unnecessary".

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.

paragraph: Hoskins graduated from the Naval Academy on June 2, 1921, and was appointed as ensign. His first assignment was aboard the , a World War I-era battleship. Over the next four years, Hoskins served at sea and shore duties, after which he requested flight training and became a Naval Aviator. After attending a Navy football game with a number of his nieces and nephews, his Navy colleagues started calling him "Uncle John" and the sobriquet stuck with him for a number of years. Hoskins served aboard during its June 1927 cruise from Cherbourg to Washington, D.C. transporting Charles Lindbergh and his plane the Spirit of St. Louis after his solo successful crossing of the Atlantic Ocean.

paragraph: Hoskins participated in the expedition to find the missing aviator Amelia Earhart after she failed to arrive at Howland Island as scheduled on July 2, 1937 during her second attempt to be the first woman to circumnavigate the globe by air. As part of s air group, Hoskins commanded a squadron of nine SU-4 aircraft in the unsuccessful search.

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.:World War II.

paragraph: During World War II, Hoskins first served as Air Officer and Executive of . In 1943, he was assigned to Washington, D.C. and was later Chief of Staff to the commander of Fleet Air, Quonset Point, Rhode Island, where both American and British pilots were trained in carrier flight techniques and tactics. He was awarded the Legion of Merit for his service at Quonset Point.

paragraph: Promoted to captain in 1944, Hoskins was ordered to take over command of ; he arrived to relieve his friend Capt. William H. Buracker just as the Battle of Leyte Gulf was commencing, and postponed taking command due to the hostilities. At roughly 10:00 on October 24, "Princeton" was attacked by a Yokosuka D4Y "Judy" which dropped its single bomb directly through the flight and hangar decks, igniting gasoline stores, disabling fire suppression systems and causing secondary explosions. After battling the fires for some hours, Buracker ordered "Princeton" abandoned, leaving behind only a salvage crew; Hoskins offered to stay behind. At 15:24, a massive explosion of ordnance stores blew off a large section of the carrier's stern, killing many and severing Hoskins's right leg just above the ankle.

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.:Peg-Leg admiral.

paragraph: Hoskins refused to allow his wound to force his premature exit from the Navy, asserting his fitness to visiting friend Admiral William Halsey: "... the Navy doesn't expect a man to think with his feet. That blast didn't knock off my head." Recovering in the Naval Hospital Philadelphia, Hoskins's rank allowed him to choose the location of his hospital bed, which he selected for its view of the naval shipyard where the next was being laid down. While rehabilitating, he received both the Purple Heart and Navy Cross for his actions aboard "Princeton". Fitted with a prosthetic foot, Hoskins started a vigorous exercise program, including paying visits to the shipyard to oversee construction of the new "Essex"-class carrier. When "Princeton" was commissioned in November 1945, Hoskins became her first commanding officer. A year later, he was promoted to rear admiral and given command of Carrier Division Seventeen. Air Group 81, formerly from "Princeton", asked Walt Disney to design a mascot patch, "a saber-slinging pirate with an aircraft carrier under one arm and a peg leg firing ammunition like a machine gun", and were for a time known as Peg-Leg Petes.

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.:Korean War.

paragraph: After two years as chief of staff to Commander, Naval Air Forces Pacific Fleet, Hoskins was ordered to command Carrier Division 3, centered around another Essex-class carrier , and deployed to the South China Sea. "Valley Forge" was anchored in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong when on June 25, 1950 Hoskins was notified of the North Korean Army's massive attack across the 38th parallel precipitating the Korean War. Hoskins quickly moved his force to Naval Station Subic Bay for fueling and resupply and by July 3 was launching the first carrier-based air strikes of the conflict. He used Douglas AD Skyraiders and Vought F4U Corsairs to attack Pyongyang airfields, using his Grumman F9F-2 Panthers for fighter cover, suppressing North Korean air power and supporting the retreating South Koreans as U.S. ground forces arrived and deployed. By mid-August, "Valley Forge's" air groups were averaging 80 sorties each day, using every minute of sunlight to hit "everything from oil refineries to horse carts."

paragraph: "Life" magazine sent correspondents to the conflict and on August 14, 1950 put "Uncle John" Hoskins on the cover and profiled his career at some length. The article made much of Hoskins's "homely" language, his excellent relationship with the officers and men serving under him, and his pragmatic and dogmatic approach to the mission. Hoskins complimented the extraordinary interservice teamwork: "You can't say enough about the fine cooperation and coordination we have with the Air Force." He also praised the efforts of his carrier division, saying "It's wonderful to manage a team when every player gets a hit every time he comes to the plate."

paragraph: After helping to protect the Pusan perimeter, Hoskins and his carrier division were instrumental in the success of Douglas MacArthur's end-around amphibious assault on Inchon a month later. On September 4, fighters of "Valley Forge's" Fighter Squadron 53 (VF-53) shot down a Soviet Air Force A-20 Havoc bomber after it opened fire on them while flying towards the gathering naval task force in the Yellow Sea. During the invasion at Inchon from September 14 until September 19, Hoskins's Air Group 5 made hundreds of daily strikes on enemy targets. Between July 3 and November 19, "Valley Forge" aircraft flew 5,000 sorties and delivered 2,000 tons of rockets and bombs.

paragraph: "Valley Forge" was slated for overhaul and was heading towards its base in San Diego when Hoskins was notified of the Second Phase Offensive launched in the last week of November by the Chinese Army in support of the North Korean effort. After arriving on the west coast of the U.S. on December 1, Hoskins was directed to resupply and steam back to Korea as soon as possible. "Valley Forge" spent five days restocking and embarking a new air group. She departed for Korea on December 6, arrived on the 22nd, and began air operations in support of the UN retreat the next day. By the time "Valley Forge" ended its second deployment in March 1951, its air groups had flown 2,580 sorties and dropped another 1,500 tons of ordnance.

paragraph: Hoskins returned "Valley Forge" for overhaul in April 1951, and found himself assigned to the Air Force's Military Air Transport Service, coordinating logistics by air transport for all branches of service where he served until April 1954. During his command, MATS operated for 36 months and over 75 million passenger miles without a single fatality.

paragraph: Hoskins was later decorated with the Distinguished Service Medal for his command efforts at the outset of the Korean War and the Silver Star (Army award) for his "gallantry and intrepidity" as commander of his division during the Inchon-Seoul operation.

paragraph: Section::::Naval career.:Later service.

paragraph: Hoskins returned again to Quonset in April 1954, this time as Commander Fleet Air and served until retired in 1957. During his command at Quonset, Hoskins chaired the board of inquiry into the May 26, 1954 disaster on the (CV-20). Upon retirement, Hoskins was promoted to vice admiral. He later served for five years as director of the Office of Declassification Policy in the Department of Defense, managing the activity of declassifying formerly classified materials for public release.

paragraph: In 1955 Republic Pictures released "The Eternal Sea", a biopic taken from Hoskins's life and written by Allen Rivkin after a story by William Wister Haines. The film featured Sterling Hayden as Hoskins, Alexis Smith as his wife Sue, Dean Jagger as his friend Thomas Semple, Hayden Rorke as William Buracker and Virginia Grey as Dorothy Buracker. "The New York Times" noted John H. Auer's "deceptively simple direction". The reviewer especially praised "... some of the best and most unobtrusive photography of aircraft carrier scenes ever made".

paragraph: Hoskins suffered a heart attack and died at his home in Falls Church, Virginia, on March 30, 1964. His funeral was held at the chapel at Fort Myer and he was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. Hoskins and his wife Sue (née Waters) had two sons and one daughter.

paragraph: Ivan Moshchuk

paragraph: Ivan Nikolaevich Moshchuk (; Born December 5, 1990) is an American classical pianist. He was born in Moscow, U.S.S.R., and raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

paragraph: Section::::Life.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Early life.

paragraph: Ivan Nikolaevich Moshchuk was born in Moscow, U.S.S.R., on 5 December 1990, to Nikolai Moshchuk, a physicist, and Ludmila Moshchuk, a computer science engineer working in the aerospace industry. He moved to Grosse Pointe, Michigan at age four with his parents and only brother, Alexander, after his father accepted an invitation to work at Wayne State University. The family was one of music aficionados, attending performances of classical music regularly. Moshchuk began playing piano at the age of five, inspired by his older brother, who was also studying the instrument. Soon after, he began taking private lessons with Margarita Molchadskaya, former pedagogue of the central specialized school for gifted children at the Saint Petersburg State Conservatory, named after Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Moshchuk says the idea of becoming a professional musician did not come to him until later. "When I was growing up, I never considered myself being talented at music - my parents were scientists and I grew up thinking I would become a scientist."

paragraph: div

paragraph: Growing up, Moshchuk maintained a well-rounded curriculum, playing varsity tennis and excelling academically at Grosse Pointe South High School. He graduated in 2009. At the same time, he was active as a musician, capturing first prize in the Arthur Fraser International Piano Competition, and being selected as a Yamaha Young Performing Artist. He is a graduate of the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University and a recipient of the 2010 Gilmore Young Artist Award.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Moshchuk the pianist.

paragraph: While still a student at Grosse Pointe South High School, Moshchuk became the first Michigan resident to receive the Gilmore Young Artist Award. This propelled him into the music world as he went on to earn a BM from the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University, where he studied music theory with Ildar Khannanov, and piano performance with Brian Ganz and Leon Fleisher. Other artists he has worked with include Ivan Moravec, Mikhail Voskresensky, Klaus Helwig, Menahem Pressler, Sergei Babayan, Gábor Takács-Nagy, John O’Conor, and James Tocco. Following his studies at the Peabody Institute, Moshchuk relocated to Paris, France, where he became a resident of the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris.

paragraph: Section::::Life.:Performances.

paragraph: Following his recognition as a Gilmore Young Artist in 2010, Moshchuk has appeared in many of the world’s finest concert halls, including the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and the Philharmonia in Bratislava, has been featured at the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival (Kalamazoo, Michigan), the Verbier Festival (Switzerland), the BANFF Festival (Canada), and has made debuts with the South Carolina Philharmonic, Lansing Symphony Orchestra, Kharkiv Philharmonic (Ukraine), and Lublin Chamber (Poland) orchestras. As a chamber musician he has collaborated with the Telegraph and Attacca Quartets. Recent performances include engagements with the Chopin Foundation of the United States, the Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival, and the Detroit Opera House as part of the Art x Detroit festival, presented by the Kresge Foundation.

paragraph: Section::::Recordings.

paragraph: Section::::Recordings.:Studio.

paragraph: On 14 August 2015, Moshchuk released his debut studio recording, a conceptual album entitled Forgiveness, featuring the music of Beethoven and Rachmaninoff. The album explores the concept of forgiveness in relation to music, aesthetics, and philosophy. It is currently available as an exclusive digital release on Apple Music, Tidal, Google Play, Spotify, and Amazon.

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.:Influences and technique.

paragraph: Moshchuk often cites hard work over talent, and attributes his inspiration for music to his fans and supporters, exercising caution toward fame and the accompanying publicity of a performance career. He is primarily concerned with the communicative aspects of music rather than technique, and strives to be a "positive force of change in this world". He says, "The piano is just an instrument — a means of communication, I have no preference among instruments; each is important for its own reason. I cannot say I chose piano — it just happened. It is a way for me to share my stories with my audience. If I were not playing piano, I would find another means.” In addition, Moshchuk has been an outspoken advocate for the further development of music theory, as well as the importance of listening in music. "The way we talk about music depends on music theory. Ultimately, the task is to discover the essence of a musical work and present it simply and efficiently so everyone – not just musicians – can understand. It is a real test of creativity."

paragraph: Section::::Artistry.:Reception.

paragraph: Moshchuk has received positive reviews by the media.

paragraph: In 2010, Tim Smith of the Baltimore Sun declared that it was "impossible not to be impressed" by Moshchuk's "absorbing, dynamic music-making". The same year the Grand Rapids Press and Lansing City Pulse described Moshchuk's performances as "powerful" and breathtaking. Following his appearance with the South Carolina Philharmonic in 2007, the Columbia Free Times praised Moshchuk for playing the Rachmaninoff Second Concerto with "immense verve and rewarding sonorities," and gave him "only the highest marks for accuracy, musicality, command, technique and sensitivity". The Kalamazoo Gazette noted Moshchuk's "rare combination of breathtaking technique and genuine musicality," selecting his solo recital as part of the Gilmore Rising Stars Series as a favorite of 2011, alongside artists such as Radu Lupu, Yo-Yo Ma, and Anthony McGill. C"lassical Voice North Carolina" described him as "a young artist with matinee good looks and admirable stage presence." Watching a recording of Moshchuk being interviewed for a public radio television program, Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival Artistic Director and pianist James Tocco claimed to have been "struck by how intelligent this young man was" as well as "the power and beauty of his playing.”

paragraph: Danny J. Petersen

paragraph: Danny John Petersen (March 11, 1949 – January 9, 1970) was a United States Army soldier and a recipient of the United States military's highest decoration—the Medal of Honor—for his actions in the Vietnam War.

paragraph: Section::::Biography.

paragraph: Petersen joined the Army from Oskaloosa, Kansas in 1968, and by January 9, 1970 was serving as a specialist four in Company B, 4th Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. On that day, in Tay Ninh Province of the Republic of Vietnam, Petersen repeatedly exposed himself and his armored personnel carrier to enemy fire in order to protect the other soldiers of his unit. After his vehicle was disabled, he stayed behind and was mortally wounded while providing covering fire so others could withdraw.

paragraph: Petersen, aged 20 at his death, was buried in Netawaka Cemetery, Netawaka, Kansas. A portion of US-75 near Netawaka is named the "Danny J. Petersen Memorial Highway" in his honor.

paragraph: Section::::Medal of Honor citation.

paragraph: Specialist Petersen's official Medal of Honor citation reads:

paragraph: Specialist Petersen distinguished himself while serving as an armored personnel carrier commander with Company B during a combat operation against a North Vietnamese Army Force estimated to be of battalion size. During the initial contact with the enemy, an armored personnel carrier was disabled and the crewmen were pinned down by the heavy onslaught of enemy small arms, automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenade fire. Spec. Petersen immediately maneuvered his armored personnel carrier to a position between the disabled vehicle and the enemy. He placed suppressive fire on the enemy's well-fortified position, thereby enabling the crewmembers of the disabled personnel carrier to repair their vehicle. He then maneuvered his vehicle, while still under heavy hostile fire to within 10 feet of the enemy's defensive emplacement. After a period of intense fighting, his vehicle received a direct hit and the driver was wounded. With extraordinary courage and selfless disregard for his own safety, Spec. Petersen carried his wounded comrade 45 meters across the bullet-swept field to a secure area. He then voluntarily returned to his disabled armored personnel carrier to provide covering fire for both the other vehicles and the dismounted personnel of his platoon as they withdrew. Despite heavy fire from 3 sides, he remained with his disabled vehicle, alone and completely exposed. Spec. Petersen was standing on top of his vehicle, firing his weapon, when he was mortally wounded. His heroic and selfless actions prevented further loss of life in his platoon. Spec. Petersen's conspicuous gallantry and extraordinary heroism are in the highest traditions of the service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the U.S. Army.
