Derbyshire's first County Archivist: Joan Sinar
27 April 2015 26 February 2016 / Sarah Chubb	/ 1 Comment
We recently heard the sad news that Joan Sinar, Derbyshire's first county archivist, died in January. She was 89 and had been living in Northern Ireland with her husband until her death.
Joan Sinar first came to Derbyshire in 1962 and was responsible for setting up the Record Office. She'd spent the previous ten years in Devon, where she established Devon Record Office. Having been born in Lancashire, she moved from Devon to Derbyshire because she missed the north.
When she started at Derbyshire, the Record Office was based at County Hall in Matlock and consisted only of the county archivist and some clerical assistance. Joan's office acted as the workroom, for processing collections, and the public searchroom – not an arrangement we would consider ideal! As she brought in more and more material, this accommodation proved entirely unsuitable. You can get a sense of how cramped the accommodation was from this photo, taken in 1967:
By1968 the set up had been improved, with a separate searchroom and additional storage within county hall in what used to be the old Smedley's Hydro kitchens. The search for bigger and better accommodation continued, though, culminating in the move to the former Ernest Bailey school on New Street, Matlock, where the Record Office remains today.
Miss Sinar retired in 1988, just as the Record Office began moving across to New Street. Over her 26 years as county archivist, she had overseen the acquisition of many important collections and built up the office from one room to a large building. Even after she left, she still maintained an interest in the Record Office and sent her congratulations when we reopened after our extension project in 2013.
Joan Sinar was one of the legendary and redoubtable women who characterised the archive profession in the 'heroic age' of archives, as the county record office network was set up. Derbyshire certainly owes her a huge debt of thanks for the preservation of the county's history; you can read more about her in The Daily Telegraph obituary which was published on Saturday.
Treasure 17: The George Woodward cartoon collection
25 April 2015 4 April 2017 / Mark Smith	/ 2 Comments
This treasure is a collection of nearly 500 prints and drawings by the artist George Murgatroyd Woodward (1765-1809). Brought up in Stanton by Dale, Derbyshire, Woodward's artistic talents were apparently evident at a young age, and according to his father 'he used to draw before he could speak plain'.
The Woodward collection includes his earliest known drawings, a series of pen and ink sketches produced when still in his teens, as well as a series of portraits of actors in Shakespearean roles from between 1782 and 1787. These include an image of Nick Bottom from Midsummer Night's Dream, which is available for adoption on our Adopt A Piece Of History page. In this video, Lien and Mark have a look at this and other illustrations:
Depictions of the earliest balloon flights in England are also included, as are a number of preparatory drawings for his published caricatures. Here are some of the balloon pictures:
We have now added digital images of all the Woodward cartoons to our online catalogue. You can browse them by following this link – this takes you to an overview page showing each image's file title, but you can then click on any given entry to see the full description and a thumbnail image. If you click on the thumbnail image, you will see your chosen cartoon in all its full-screen glory. To search within the collection, click on Advanced Search, then use a keyword or two in conjunction with the reference D5459* (don't forget the asterisk). I tried using the word "clown" in the title field and got a single image of a clown – if you try the same thing, you may see why some people have nightmares about them!
During his brief career Woodward collaborated with some of the best known caricaturists of the day in order to produce his prints, and the collection includes examples of work produced in conjunction with Thomas Rowlandson, Isaac Cruikshank and Thomas Newton.
Woodward was more interested in the humour to be found in everyday life than in high politics and his caricatures provide a fascinating insight into the tastes and fashions of 18th century England.
As our Senior Conservator Lien explains in the video, she nominated the Woodward collection as one of Derbyshire Record Office's 50 Treasures after being introduced to the archive during her job interview. 'There was this massive heap of dirty and damaged prints, drawings and watercolours lying on a table and I was asked what I would do with them…we certainly ended up doing all the work I'd suggested.'
As mentioned above, the Nick Bottom illustration is one of the Treasures listed on our Adopt A Piece Of History page – but if you have a personal favourite Woodward cartoon, you can still adopt that. Just give us the details after choosing "adopt a unique piece of history".
Mining the Archives… Literally!
24 April 2015 20 June 2018 / Clare Mosley	/ 2 Comments
I never thought that during this project I would literally be mining the archives… until this week when I began work on dismantling the 18th Century account book of Robert Thornhill, and to my surprise, hidden between the pages, I discovered what appeared to be deposits of lead!
This caused quite a scare for our health and safety team – Lead is a highly poisonous metal, and if it is inhaled or swallowed it can cause serious damage to the nervous system or brain. This being so, I stopped working on the book immediately, and our health and safety manager rushed to the scene to advise us on how to proceed.
Lead is dangerous if it is inhaled or ingested, but to inhale it the particles must be very fine and dust-like. Luckily the particles of lead we found were relatively large, and there was no evidence of dust, so we were told we were safe to proceed with precautions – wearing a mask, gloves and protective clothing; hand washing and proper disposal of the gloves and masks; and ensuring that the work area is cleared of all debris with Hepa filter vacuum cleaner…
…Panic over!
However, in the midst of all this excitement, we had a thought… the discovery of lead in this account book might tell us something about its history – the environment in which it was written, and where the work was carried out. We have collected samples of the lead and debris from the guttering of the pages and are hoping to get these tested using Infrared Spectrometry, a method of analysing the samples to identify the substances present. The findings could give us more clues about the provenance of the book, and lead mining history in general, which would potentially be valuable information for researchers.
Who knew this long neglected account book would cause such a stir?!
Manorial Documents Register Launch
23 April 2015 / Neil Bettridge	/ Leave a comment
Last Thursday (16 April) we held an event to launch the Derbyshire section of the Manorial Documents Register (MDR). This was the culmination of the process which the Derbyshire Record Office, with the help of its partner organisation, The National Archives, started over two years ago to revise and update the Derbyshire entries on the MDR.
The event included talks from three speakers: Neil Bettridge,the MDR Project officer for Derbyshire, who spoke in general terms about manors and manorial records; Liz Hart of the Development Section of The National Archives, based at Kew, who spoke about the Manor Documents Register, providing valuable background information on its history, its development and its current aims and objectives covering the overall project for England and Wales as a whole; and Kate Henderson, a professional record agent, who spoke positively and enthusiastically about how the records could be used to help people trying to trace their family history in manorial records. After the talks and light refreshments, people were able to look at a display of manorial documents in the Searchroom and to take the opportunity to try out the Manorial Documents Register online for Derbyshire.
One aspect of the project, and possibly, the most important, was that it would make the information available online. Previously the MDR could only have been inspected by going to The National Archives in person, and although researchers could enquire through the post or by email, it inevitably meant it took people a lot of time and effort to find out what they wanted. Now it is much easier for people to see what manorial records there are and where they are just by going straight to the appropriate webpage for the MDR, which can be found at http://apps.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mdr/.. The MDR online also has information which is more detailed and up to date, reflecting any changes which might have been made to the location and listing of manorial records.
The event seems to have been well received, with several people taking the opportunity to inspect the Register many positive comments on it. We would like to thank everyone who attended and helped things go so well.
Copying before the photocopier
21 April 2015 / Sarah Chubb	/ 1 Comment
If you've ever used late 18th century or 19th century business records, you may well have come across 'wet copy' letter books. These distinctive volumes are made up of letters on very flimsy, thin paper, with rather blurred writing which appears in reverse – although because the paper is so thin, you can read the writing from the other side.
Wet copy letter books are definitely not one of my favourite kinds of record. Because the paper is so thin, you get hundreds of fragile blurry letters in each volume; I'm always impressed by the researchers who have the patience to go through them.
Despite their drawbacks, you have to admire the ingenuity of the invention, which was patented in 1780 by James Watt. There's an excellent article by Dr Brian H. Davies about the invention of wet copies on the Ceredigion Archives blog, which explains how they were produced. There are also pictures of wet copy letters, so if you've never seen one before, do take a look – and be glad you don't have to use them!
Mining the Archives Project – Conservation Update
21 April 2015 / Clare Mosley	/ Leave a comment
I have now completed the bulk of the conservation work on D248: Barmaster's Lot and Cope account books, 1831-1870. Here are some of the repaired pages:
It really has made such a difference to all those pages which were in many pieces, as they can now be handled safely. The final few pages we came across in this pack were slightly different in appearance and texture to the others, and we think there may have already been some historic conservation procedures carried out on them which now requires some extra special treatment.
Whilst we investigate and decide what to do with the above, in the meantime I have begun work on the next document identified as part of the project; D307/B/19/1: Account book/ledger of Robert Thornhill, 1768 – 1829.
This 18th Century account book is still in its original, parchment-covered binding, which has considerable damage from a damp storage environment. The book has suffered extensively from damp penetration, leaving the edge of every page extremely fragile and crumbling away. In its current condition this item cannot be used by researchers, as turning the pages will result in significant loss of information.
Before I can repair the pages, the first job is to very carefully take the whole book apart. Each page will then be cleaned and washed before repairs are carried out. The original binding is too badly damaged to be re-used, so it will be kept with the item as part of the collection, and the repaired pages will be re-bound in a new binding.
So… scalpel at the ready, I will update you on how dismantling it goes!
Treasure 16: a Soviet military map showing Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire
17 April 2015 17 April 2015 / Mark Smith	/ Leave a comment
It's easy to take maps for granted nowadays, when we can go online and quickly find an accurate map of any given spot on the planet. This Soviet military map dates from an era in which knowledge of terrain was harder to come by, and of correspondingly greater strategic value. It has been chosen by Sue Peach, Local Studies Librarian.
Sue writes: "Produced in the 1980s, before the breakup of the Soviet Union, these maps would have enabled the Red Army to find even the smallest hamlet. The maps conform to the standard Warsaw Pact specifications for military topographic maps, using the Krassovsky/Pulkovo system, and carry the standard Gausse- Kruger military grid, enabling artillery to use the mapping. For ease of reading the text is all in Cyrillic script."
The main place names visible on this shot of the map are Sutton in Ashfield, in the centre left of the image, followed by (working clockwise) Mansfield Woodhouse, Mansfield and Kirkby in Ashfield.
Now available: our latest events programme

Guilty of High Treason – the Pentrich Revolution
15 April 2015 / Lisa, Local Studies Librarian	/ 3 Comments
Reading Sarah's post about the Pentrich Revolution of a few days ago, made me think of the material we have in the Local Studies Library, here at the Record Office, on this important local event. Over the years there have been many books and articles published, which you can come to the library to look at. You can even request many titles to borrow from your local library – just put Pentrich Revolution into the online catalogue (follow the links from http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/libraries) for a list of available titles.
We also have more contemporary accounts. For a more detailed look at the trial you can't go far wrong than with the report of the whole proceedings, which I should warn you contains a no holds barred description of the executions of the men involved. For the faint hearted, look away now!
There is also a copy of a letter written by Jeremiah Brandreth, dubbed the Nottingham Captain, to his wife written from his gaol cell which is amazingly stoic considering the situation he was in. Although his sentence hadn't yet been passed, he had been found guilty so must have had a good idea of what was in store.
It is easy to concentrate on the main figures in this story but the letter makes you think of the families of those involved, and following along those lines we have a 'Lamentation of the widows, families and orphans of the three unfortunate men', which is a call to think of those who were left behind. If you would like to see these or any of the other items we have on the Pentrich Revolution then please come along to the Record Office, and ask for the Local Studies collection.
Treasure 6: A how-to guide to handwriting from 1571
13 April 2015 / Mark Smith	/ Leave a comment
This book, dating from 1571, was chosen by archivist Karen Millhouse, who writes:
Palaeography, the study of ancient handwriting, is a skill which those who work in archives have to develop quite quickly! This handwriting exercise book contains not only beautiful examples of script but also provides the opportunity for us to chart how styles of handwriting have developed over the centuries – which in turn helps us to date documents more accurately. I particularly like seeing how the owner of this book has practised the letters – with varying degrees of success!
Our Artist in Residence, Paula Moss, shares my love of this volume and has used illustrations from it as her inspiration for window coverings in our microfilm room – why don't you take a look?
Concerned about the physical condition of this book? So are we – that's why our Assistant Conservator has chosen it as the basis of a forthcoming project. We will use the blog to let you know when the work has been done.

8th century gamma ray burst irradiated the Earth
Royal Astronomical Society
Source - http://phys.org/news/2013-01-8th-century-gamma-ray-irradiated.html#jCp
An artist's impression of the merger of two neutron stars. Short duration gamma-ray bursts are thought to be caused by the merger of some combination of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. Theory suggests that they are short lived as there is little dust and gas to fuel an 'afterglow'. Credit: Part of an image from NASA / Dana Berry.
A nearby short duration gamma-ray burst may be the cause of an intense blast of high-energy radiation that hit the Earth in the 8th century, according to new research led by astronomers Valeri Hambaryan and Ralph Neuhӓuser. The two scientists, based at the Astrophysics Institute of the University of Jena in Germany, publish their results in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
In 2012 scientist Fusa Miyake announced the detection of high levels of the isotope Carbon-14 and Beryllium-10 in tree rings formed in 775 CE, suggesting that a burst of radiation struck the Earth in the year 774 or 775. Carbon-14 and Beryllium-10 form when radiation from space collides with nitrogen atoms, which then decay to these heavier forms of carbon and beryllium. The earlier research ruled out the nearby explosion of a massive star (a supernova) as nothing was recorded in observations at the time and no remnant has been found.
Prof. Miyake also considered whether a solar flare could have been responsible, but these are not powerful enough to cause the observed excess of carbon-14. Large flares are likely to be accompanied by ejections of material from the Sun's corona, leading to vivid displays of the northern and southern lights (aurorae), but again no historical records suggest these took place.
Following this announcement, researchers pointed to an entry in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle that describes a 'red crucifix' seen after sunset and suggested this might be a supernova. But this dates from 776, too late to account for the carbon-14 data and still does not explain why no remnant has been detected.
Drs. Hambaryan and Neuhӓuser have another explanation, consistent with both the carbon-14 measurements and the absence of any recorded events in the sky. They suggest that two compact stellar remnants, i.e. black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs, collided and merged together. When this happens, some energy is released in the form of gamma rays, the most energetic part of the electromagnetic spectrum that includes visible light.
In these mergers, the burst of gamma rays is intense but short, typically lasting less than two seconds. These events are seen in other galaxies many times each year but, in contrast to long duration bursts, without any corresponding visible light. If this is the explanation for the 774 / 775 radiation burst, then the merging stars could not be closer than about 3000 light years, or it would have led to the extinction of some terrestrial life. Based on the carbon-14 measurements, Hambaryan and Neuhӓuser believe the gamma ray burst originated in a system between 3000 and 12000 light years from the Sun.
If they are right, then this would explain why no records exist of a supernova or auroral display. Other work suggests that some visible light is emitted during short gamma-ray bursts that could be seen in a relatively nearby event. This might only be seen for a few days and be easily missed, but nonetheless it may be worthwhile for historians to look again through contemporary texts.
Astronomers could also look for the merged object, a 1200 year old black hole or neutron star 3000-12000 light years from the Sun but without the characteristic gas and dust of a supernova remnant.
Dr Neuhӓuser comments: "If the gamma ray burst had been much closer to the Earth it would have caused significant harm to the biosphere. But even thousands of light years away, a similar event today could cause havoc with the sensitive electronic systems that advanced societies have come to depend on. The challenge now is to establish how rare such Carbon-14 spikes are i.e. how often such radiation bursts hit the Earth. In the last 3000 years, the maximum age of trees alive today, only one such event appears to have taken place."
More information: The team's paper will be published online in the Oxford University Press journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society at 9am on Monday 21 January. The paper will be available via mnras.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/01/08/mnras.sts378.full . A preprint of the paper can be seen at xxx.lanl.gov/abs/1211.2584

2017 Feature, Large Newsroom finalist
Feature, Large Newsroom
On the surface, the Central African Republic would seem to be a country that has all the ingredients for prosperity and stability. Its relatively small population of 4.5 million shares a nation the size of Texas, which is filled with bountiful resources including timber, diamonds, gold, and uranium. For much of the 57 years since its independence from France, its numerous ethnic groups have avoided major conflicts and enjoyed peace. So why has it suddenly collapsed?
Many news organizations covered the peak of the violent conflict that destroyed much of the nation and left nearly a million people homeless. But few journalists remained once the shooting stopped.
National Geographic sought to take a longer view. Beginning in 2013, photographer Marcus Bleasdale and writer Peter Gwin covered the Muslim rebels that toppled the government, the Christian militias that arose to fight them and the UN peacekeepers who arrived to restore order. Over the course of three years, they returned several times.
Bleasdale's harrowing photos depict the violence and challenges faced by the people trying to rebuild their smoldering communities, now devoid of courts, schools and health clinics. Gwin's nuanced essay delves into the layers of history, politics and culture that set the stage for the violence. In particular he notes that the lack of paved roads — the fewest in the world by the UN's count — has created deep frustration as the landlocked nation's trade routes are literally mired in mud during the lengthy rainy season.
@marcusbleasdale My short documentary on Central African Republic is out for National Geographic Magazine. Discover how war affects communities and how they try to build themselves up after being destroyed. #carcrisis @humanrightswatch @selwyn1882 @cambridgeuniversity copy paste this link to see the full 9 min doc http://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/proof/2017/05/car-civil-war-behind-scenes/
A post shared by National Geographic (@natgeo) on May 22, 2017 at 1:16pm PDT
As an online-only companion to the story, we published a 10-minute film comprising video Bleasdale shot over the course of his assignments, titled "Inside a Civil War Most People Have Never Heard Of." The film, shared in full on Instagram, reached nearly 2 million viewers.
Edited by Kathryn Carlson and written by Gwin, the film takes viewers through the chaos and gunfire of roiling street fights, into a rebel-held goldmine and through the refugee camps that now shelter much of the population. This is what civil war looks and sounds like: dead, bloodied men slumped over on benches, wheelbarrows with bodies being wheeled down the street.
"We think of civil war as two armies facing off," Bleasdale says in his narration. "But what it really looks like is everyday moments of terror in the streets. And as the conflict trickled down into communities, it sparked tit for tat murders fueled by revenge."

I Want This Dallas House: Munger Place Colonial, $350K
Candy Evans, AOL.com
Apr 7th 2010 3:00PM
You don't find many homes built in 1922 in Dallas, Texas. There is one brick cottage in The Cedars, Dallas' version of Soho, built in 1884, that may be the oldest piece of real estate in town.
This house, at 5025 Junius, is located a little north of downtown Dallas in one of the city's historic transitional neighborhoods, Munger Place, sought after by singles, couples and families for a close-in location brimming with community. This remodeled colonial with three bedrooms, two and a half baths, is the dream house of a former Dallas radio host, Karen Moyer, who poured her heart and capital into every square inch of its 2,700 square feet.On the inside, it's pure 21st century living with a re-built foundation, steal piers, gourmet kitchen with new cabinets, granite and gourmet stainless appliances, new bathrooms, and a laundry room on an enclosed back porch. (The original home did not have a laundry room because, in 1922, laundry was wrung out in washtubs on the back porch, then hung to dry.)
Karen also sanded and smoothed the 100-year-old-plus hardwood floors. This Dallas home for sale was designed and built by an architect, who passed the home onto his daughter, who lived in it until she retired to a nursing home. Out of respect for the home's heritage, Karen maintained all the original woodwork, including six-inch base trim, thick ceiling and crown moldings, even the white-porcelain, claw-foot bathtub in the main bath.
The home has been reduced to $350,000 for quick sale, an excellent price for a home with such history and character.
But you might have to be O.K. with ghosts: One day Karen was home, alone, putting something away in the home's attic. She had a strange feeling that an older woman was watching her work. Later that day, Karen learned that the woman she had bought 5025 Junius from had died.
"But I had the distinct feeling, a strong feeling," says Karen, "She was happy that her home was being loved and tended."

THE GREAT TEXAS MOPAR® AUCTION: PART X
By Steve "Scat Pack" Magnante 8/16/2021 7:30 PM EventsVideo10 min readAUCTIONSDODGE CLASSICS
Excitement is building … the Great Texas Mopar® Hoard Auction Event is drawing near. Mark your calendar for Wednesday and Thursday, October 13 and 14, 2021. Those are the dates when Spanky Assiter and his Freedom Car Auctions team will conduct an all-online, no-reserve auction of the late John Haynie's massive collection of mostly Mopar cars and parts.
Remember, this is an online-only event so make sure your computer is warmed up and your internet connection is strong. The reason for the online-only nature – as opposed to an on-site auction with the usual gathered crowd of bidders – is the fact the massive estate is located outdoors, on a ranch in the remote Texas prairie, too far off the beaten path to expect most folks to even find it.
More specifically, the estate sits on several acres with a small house surrounded by a handful of metal sheds and garages. It's like "The Little Mopar House on the Prairie". The parts are stored indoors but most of the 250-plus vehicles are outside under the bright Texas sun. Staging an outdoor auction in Texas is asking for discomfort due to heat, sunburn, wind and possible rain. And there's the rattlesnake factor. Our slithering, venomous friends populate the Texas prairie like fish do the sea, so special care must be taken when walking among the 250-plus vehicles.
Added together with the fact that few hotels and restaurants exist within the immediate vicinity of John Haynie's former home and Mopar hoard, it was decided to use the internet to stage the auction. There is nothing new or experimental about internet auctions and every day all over the globe sellers and buyers successfully connect in this way.
But the absence of in-person vehicle bidder inspection requires as many pictures and videos as possible to best describe and identify each item being sold.
And so let's continue that process here with another preview of the Great Texas Mopar Hoard Auction Event!
1964 PLYMOUTH BELVEDERE: LOT #89
Chrysler Corporation launched its new mid-size B-body platform in 1962 as the Dodge Dart 330, Dart 440 and Polara 500, as well as the Plymouth Savoy, Belvedere and Fury. With its combination of light yet rugged unibody construction, space-efficient torsion bar front suspension, novel 1/3 – 2/3 rear leaf spring axle location and wide choice of power plants, the mid-sized B-body set the stage for a successful decade of competition with similarly sized offerings from Ford and GM.
But there was a snag. The styling of the 1962s was somewhat bizarre. Deltoid and asymmetrical themes dominated and sales suffered. The situation was better in 1963 as more conservative styling was adopted, but it wasn't until 1964 that the ship righted itself. This 1964 Plymouth Belvedere two-door sedan (Lot Number 89) is a great example of the sleeker, less exotic styling that helped Chrysler Corporation do its best work in the mid-sized field.
And while the top-tier Fury, with its neat inverted triangle B-pillars, used to be the most sought-after closed model (convertibles have always ruled the roost among collectors), recent years have marked a shift toward low-line Savoy and Belvedere sedans thanks to their popularity with builders of Max Wedge and Race HEMI® Super Stock clones. As such, this less-is-more sedan would be a prime candidate for Super Stock conversion except for the sad fact it spent some time on its side and roof at some point.
The accident damage isn't terminal, but work will be required to smooth out the wrinkles. Originally equipped with extra cost luxuries like a poly 318, push button 727 small block automatic transmission, and Airtemp air conditioning, the rest of the package is austere, with manual drum brakes and steering – exactly what the Super Stock clone set desires most. Best of all is the boxy sedan roof. More commonly seen on the base model Savoy (where 21,326 two-door "posts" were built), the more expensive Belvedere series was more likely to feature the more graceful hardtop roof. As such, just 5,364 of these two-door sedans were built, compared to 16,334 hardtops. Don't be dissuaded by the accident damage, this one is a solid core for a Max Wedge or race HEMI conversion.
1967 DODGE CORONET: LOT# 87
Though its "just a four-door," this 1967 Dodge Coronet 440 (Lot Number 87) is special thanks to what's under the hood. No, it's not a 440 Magnum, something lots of folks assume thanks to the Coronet 440 nameplate. Rather, this one has the optional 383 big block V8. The base engine was the 225 Slant Six, with the 318 two-barrel small block offered for an extra $24. These two engines made up the majority of installations in these four-door family cars. But for those needing more passing and towing power, just $81 was all it took to enter the tire-smoking big block realm with the 383 seen in this car.
Seeking to appeal to economy-minded customers, Dodge (and Plymouth) offered the big 383 with a single two-barrel carburetor (making 270 horsepower) or for $121 with a four-barrel and dual exhaust making 325 horsepower. Interestingly, the 383 two-barrel engine shared its rather plain "V8" front fender medallion with the sleepy 318 small block. Only the four-barrel 383 got a special fender emblem reading "383 Four Barrel". Thus, drivers of 383 two-barrel Coronets enjoyed something of a sleeper legacy. Would-be contenders didn't know if the 318 or 383 lurked under hood until the tire smoke began – or didn't.
This extremely solid Texas-based four-door has the expected factory Airtemp air conditioning (which includes the desirable HEMI-sized 26-inch radiator seven-blade aluminum clutch fan), power steering and three-speed windshield wipers, but is odd for its manual drum brakes, which would have added a mere $16, but for reasons unknown, were not specified.
Getting back to the confusion surrounding the Coronet 440 nameplate, it stems from the Coronet marketing hierarchy which was made up of (from bottom to top) the Coronet Deluxe, Coronet 440, Coronet 500 and Coronet R/T. Following the commonly mistaken logic that would assume every Coronet 440 packs a 440-cubic-inch Magnum, the Coronet 500 would be the ultimate muscle machine, with 500 cubic inches. But it was not so. The top muscle machine for 1967 was the strictly two-door Coronet R/T series (R/T stands for Road and Track … but you knew that) that came with base 440 Magnum or optional 426 Street HEMI engine power. This 383-powered four-door may not be a HEMI engine-powered vehicle, but its 383 surely surprised many a GM 350 owner.
1967 PLYMOUTH FURY I POLICE: LOT #86
The fender tag reads "Special Order" and this 1967 Plymouth Fury I four-door sedan (Lot Number 86) certainly is special. Beyond the austere hub caps and special 15×5.5-inch fleet rims with their riveted retention clips, the absence of flashy trim, A-pillar mounted spotlight and Commando V8 fender emblems alert the presence of a police car. Often called "muscle cars with an extra set of doors," police cars often – but not always – contain high-performance driveline and suspension equipment.
Here, the VIN reads PK41G74235810, the "P" confirming the police model and the "G" in the fifth spot identifying the 383 big block V8. But unlike the more typical 383 four-barrel or even 440 Super Commando power expected in a police car, the G-code 383 is the more economical unit with a single exhaust tract and small two-barrel carburetor. Regardless, it's a big jump above the possible 225 Slant Six or 318 small block V8. Yes, these low-power engines were available for inner city patrol work where high speed wasn't required but maximum fuel economy was.
Under the skin, as a police unit, its got heavy-duty suspension with thicker torsion bars, full-size 11-inch drum brakes – the same stuff used on 426 Street HEMI engine-powered vehicles – special zinc liners between the leaves of the rear leaf spring suspension and inside, a certified 120 mph speedometer, thick molded rubber floor mat resists the stains and wear that would have plagued a family-style carpeted interior. Though the "RXX982" license plates suggest Arizona origins, there are some rusty spots on the floors and signs of delaminating plastic filler pock mark the body. Regardless, while records show that Plymouth built 29,354 Fury I four-door sedans in 1967, a small fraction of them were PK series police units. The number remaining today is surely minute.
1967 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY: LOT #85
Chrysler Corporation made automotive – and cultural – history with the introduction of the so-called "minivan" in 1983. With its economical and practical union of front-wheel drive, great fuel economy and smart utility-minded design, the traditional American station wagon was soon rendered obsolete – and an entirely new market segment was created to serve "soccer moms" across the world. This 1967 Chrysler Newport Town and Country (Lot Number 85) is a classic example of the massive station wagons the minivan helped to dethrone.
One of 14,703 Newport Town and Country wagons built, this one has the optional 440 four-barrel, a $79.40 upcharge over the base 383 two-barrel big block V8. The legendary performance of the 440 doesn't need retelling here, but the fact it's still under the hood speaks to this car's incredible luck over the past 55 years, Ever since the tall deck 440 appeared in 1966, these full-size Chryslers were targeted by Slant Six and 318 small block owners looking to snatch their hearts for Dart and Duster conversions.
Typically equipped with Airtemp air conditioning ($406), power steering ($107), power brakes ($47), power windows ($106) and add-on (non-factory) electric trailer brakes, this family mover probably hauled a large camper or fishing boat trailer. In pristine condition with minimal surface rust, this surviving 440 station wagon appears to wear its factory-applied white paint. And as always, there is a distinct possibility the rear axle contains a nifty Sure Grip surprise within its beefy 8-3/4 inch carrier. We couldn't lift the tail to find out but as a trailer towing workhorse, its original owner likely saw the value in the $50.70 outlay for Sure Grip.
Happily, today we have several aftermarket and reproduction 440-type engine blocks and crate engines to choose from. That means this nicely preserved wagon can stop shaking in fear every time a hot rodder walks near. We hope…
1966 DODGE A100 SPORTSMAN VAN: LOT #84
The Dodge A100 wasn't the first compact van on the scene. That designation goes to Ford's trend-setting Falcon Econoline of 1962 – or to some minds, Chevrolet's Americanized Volkswagen Microbus, the 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Corvan. Regardless, when Dodge entered the compact van market in 1964 with the A100, it was the only one with an optional V8, the all-new 273 small block, also introduced in 1964. And let's not forget how Jay Howell and Dick Branstner's Little Red Wagon A/FX A100 pickup (later adopted by Bill "Maverick" Golden) helped launch the 426 Race HEMI engine to race fans late in 1964. And we do mean "launch." When Howell couldn't keep the front tires on the strip, Golden cultivated the "Little Red" into a single-purpose wheel-standing exhibition machine.
This amazingly original 1966 Dodge A100 Sportsman passenger van (Lot Number 84) is one of the 9,536 V8 powered A100s that year. The other 35,190 (of 44,726 total built) were motivated by the trusty Slant Six. As a Sportsman people mover, this 273 V8-powered machine has eight windows for optimum visibility and comfort on long road trips. By contrast, the more utilitarian A100 vans could be had with several possible window and door configurations, including no windows at all (one of these is part of the Great Texas Mopar Hoard Auction Event and is offered as Lot Number 55). More typically, worker bee A100s had windows on only the passenger side so the delivery driver could see the curb and sidewalk for parking (and yes, one of these is also offered in the auction as Lot Number 59).
Here, a 727 TorqueFlite® automatic transmission sends power to the 3.55:1 gears within the 8-3/4 rear axle. We know it was built with the 3.55 gear ratio thanks to the metal data tag riveted atop the driver side front wheel arch – a helpful detail found on all A100s – that also spells out suspension details, the VIN and other features. Speaking of VIN tags, another A100 van in this auction (Lot Number 11) wears serial number "2000604", which verifies it as the six hundred and fourth (604th) A100 van ever assembled! That van also happens to have the extremely rare "walk through" body – with swing out cargo doors on both sides, driver and passenger. Again, that one is Lot Number 11 and can be seen at the Steve Magnante YouTube Channel or at the Spanky's Freedom Car Auctions website (FreedomCarAuctions.com).
But getting back to this 1966 Sportsman, though the engine cover has been disassembled for some unfinished business and the rear passenger bench seats seem to be missing, the beauty here is how original and unmolested the basic structure is. They just aren't found like this anymore.
Well, that's it for this week's preview of the Great Texas Mopar Hoard Auction Event. We'll be back next week with another "bouquet" for your enjoyment. See you then! –Steve "Scat Pack" Magnante

THE GREAT TEXAS MOPAR® AUCTION: PREVIEW
****COURTESY OF DODGEGARAGE.COM*****
By Steve "Scat Pack" Magnante 6/4/2021 4:00 PM EventsVideo5 min readAUCTIONSDODGE CLASSICSPLYMOUTH CLASSICS
There's something BIG brewing in the Texas prairie! It's the Great Texas Mopar® Hoard auction event, an online-only collector car auction featuring over 200 choice Mopar vehicles from the estate of a lifelong Mopar collector. And best of all, the auction will be a "no reserve" event, meaning that each and every lot number will sell to the highest bidder.
Scheduled to take place in October of 2021, these great project cars and trucks will all find new homes thanks to the services of Spanky's Freedom Car Auctions. If the name Spanky sounds familiar, then you will remember him – Spanky Assiter – as Barrett-Jackson's lead auctioneer for several successful years.
And if you remember that, then you probably also remember Spanky's wife Amy Assiter, one of the Bidder's Assistants, her long brown hair flying on the TV screen as she shouted bids to the auction block. Today, Spanky and Amy operate Assiter Auctioneers, the parent company of Spanky's Freedom Car Auctions.
With the meet-and-greet out of the way, let's preview some of the 200-plus vintage and special interest Dodge, Plymouth, DeSoto, Chrysler and Imperial vehicles that will all find new homes in October. To see more, go to freedomcarauctions.com or to the Steve Magnante YouTube channel where live-action walk-around videos exist to add even more information on each lot number.
1974 DODGE D200 CLUB CAB: LOT # 1
In its third year on the market, Dodge's fully redesigned D-series pickup truck line was far more refined than the 1961-71 Sweptline D-series that came before. The primitive leaf spring, live front axle was replaced by independent coil springs and the interior was far more luxurious with padded surfaces in place of cold, hard steel.
This Club Cab model, new for 1973, offered an extra 18 inches of wheelbase to make room for the longer cab floor and convenient behind-the-seat storage area. Also new for 1974 was the mighty 440 big block engine, which replaced the 400 that was used in 1973. This original paint D200 Club Cab packs the top dog 440, heavy-duty 727 TorqueFlite® automatic transmission, Dana 60 rear axle, factory optional chromed trailer towing mirrors, bucket seats, air conditioning, power brakes, power steering and cruise control. As a Texas truck, it's solid and rust-free except for a couple of small patches seen in the walk-around video.
1973 PLYMOUTH FURY FLEET SEDAN: LOT # 2
Packing the P-code High Performance 400-cubic-inch big block with dual exhaust, a dual snorkel air cleaner and 140-mph certified speedometer, this 1973 Plymouth Fury probably has a law enforcement background. Rolling on 15×6.5-inch body-colored "steelies" with "poverty caps", it's essentially a muscle car in disguise. Though the data tag is missing, a second tag reading "special order" sets this one apart from the crowd.
The "fuselage body", making its final appearance for 1973, still wears its original Honey Gold paint and is free from structural rust, while the interior is complete down to the front and rear bench seats. While the light-duty Salisbury-type 8-1/4 inch rear axle was standard issue under most Furys, this one packs the same heavy-duty Hotchkis-type 8-3/4 rear axle used under most Mopar muscle cars of the day. A heavy-duty 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission takes commands from a column-mounted shift lever. If you appreciate a "sleeper" muscle car, this one is for you!
1965 PLYMOUTH FURY III: LOT # 5
After going without a full-sized model line since 1961, Plymouth reintroduced the full-size C-body for 1965 in the form of the Fury. Offered as the Fury I, Fury II, Fury III and Sport Fury, these extra-large models helped increase Plymouth's overall sales by 31.5 percent over 1964 when only the compact A-body and mid-sized B-body platforms were offered.
This 1965 Plymouth Fury III four door sedan (Lot Number 5) is one of 50,725 built and packs the optional 383 2-barrel big block and 727 TorqueFlite automatic transmission, a $396 surcharge over the base Slant Six and "three-on-the-tree". And speaking of this car's TorqueFlite transmission, know that it is a one-year-only big block unit with the cable-operated valve body and new slip-yoke tail shaft configuration. These transmissions are in high demand among builders of 1962-65 Max Wedge and Race HEMI® clones who want the push-button transmission controls without the hassle of the ball-and-trunnion driveshaft. Not that you'd want to harvest this particular item. Just sayin…
Other goodies include manual drum brakes, power steering, a factory clock and RADIO DELETE. That's right, if you didn't want to pay $59 for the Transaudio AM radio, Plymouth graciously plugged the hole in the dash with an ornate plastic delete plate, as seen in this one. Re-sprayed in the original turquoise and white, this first-year full-size Fury would make a great family cruiser.
1964 DODGE A100 WALK-THROUGH VAN: LOT # 11
The A-series compact van of 1964-70 was Dodge's answer to Ford's 1962 Econoline van, which was Ford's response to Volkswagen's Microbus of the 1950s. This 1964 A100 van is very special for two reasons. First, it was ordered with the rare "walk through" door configuration, and secondly, the sequence number on the VIN tag (1962000604) tells us this was the 604th A100 van ever built! If that's not cool, we don't know what is.
Powered by the 225 Slant Six with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, this first-year A100 is exceptionally solid and nearly rust-free. Though some small areas of rust bubbles and perforation are visible on the lower body surfaces, the floors and foot wells are nice and clean. These A100 compact vans are becoming more and more popular every day and surviving examples are very hard to find. And being a walk-through makes this one all the more unique. Imagine stuffing a Mopar Performance 426 HEMI crate engine between the Bostrom Thin Line front bucket seats. With its double-side-door body configuration, you could showcase the engine from either side!
1959 CHRYSLER WINDSOR: LOT # 14
1959 was the final year for body-on-frame construction for the Chrysler line. Unitized construction would replace it for 1960 (except on the top-tier Imperial line). This 1959 Chrysler Windsor wears Arizona license plates from the 1959 model year and passes the "magnet test" in all of the usual rust areas except for some small bubbles popping through on the lower quarter panel extensions. Inside, the original upholstery covers the seats and the factory AM radio is still present.
Under the hood, a 383 2-barrel big block wears factory air conditioning with an early version of the clutch-type fan that would later help Street HEMI vehicles stay cool while reducing parasitic drag. Factory power drum brakes and power steering help make this Windsor a breeze to drive. All of the hard-to-find chrome grille, bumpers and trim are present and in great condition. This would make a nice cruiser or – shun the notion – a solid parts car for the restoration of a less common two-door model or convertible.
Stay tuned to DodgeGarage for more interesting vehicles from the Great Texas Mopar Auction!

Should we be automating CX?
My husband and I have interesting dinner conversations. He truly believes that we're on the brink of a major financial collapse. He also believes that attempts to stimulate the U.S. economy are doomed to failure, because, as he puts it in one of his blog posts: "The jobs are gone and they're not coming back!"
Automation is wonderful. What would we do without all of our labor-saving devices? Who wants to return to waiting in line for hours or days to register a car, apply for a loan, book an airplane flight, etc.?
As a customer experience guru, (and a customer) I appreciate it when technology assists save me time, make my life easier, and let me get things done at my convenience. I prefer never to have to make a phone call to conduct business (unless it's a professional whose advice I need) or a client I want to connect with. I believe that human touch is important, but it should be used for the right things. When I'm confused, frustrated, angry, or have a lot of context I want to impart, I much prefer talking to a well-informed, empathetic, and empowered person. But, if I'm just trying to get something done, give me an automated solution any day!
In reading Mitch Kramer's latest product evaluation of a Virtual Assistant solution from Next IT, I found myself wondering how many people this kind of technology--Virtual Assistants can now pop up on your mobile phone or on the Web to answer questions and to guide you through even quite complex transactions--is putting out of work. And, is this valuable work that people should be doing?
Of course, there is other, higher value work that needs to be done to make Virtual Assistants work: you have to understand what it is that customers are trying to do, and to anticipate all the combinations of things they might need help with. But for every analyst who can design the knowledgebase, dialogs , and workflows that virtual assistants do, there are probably 200 call center agents who are no longer needed to do that work.
Will the people whose jobs are disappearing find other, more rewarding things to do to earn income? Will they find other, better ways to contribute to society?
When it comes to Customer Experience, what's the right mix of high tech/high touch?
I remember on my first trip to China in early 2000, being impressed by the number of people standing by to help customers find the products they wanted in a supermarket. It was actually wonderful not to have to look around for someone to help.
On the other hand, when I'm online, if a virtual assistant can help me get something done more quickly and easily, I'm thrilled! I love technology that delights the customer.
What are your thoughts about automating CX?


With the fate of their Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in jeopardy, immigrants from Honduras and Nepal brought a class action lawsuit against the federal government this week to stop the Trump administration from ending TPS for their respective countries.
The case's plaintiffs—six adults with TPS and two of their U.S.-born children—maintain that the termination is arbitrary and racially motivated, meant to remove "non-white, non-European immigrants" from the United States.
TPS was created by Congress in 1990 as a mechanism to permit certain foreign nationals to remain in the United States if returning to their country would expose them to harm due to unsafe conditions such as war, famine, or natural disaster. They have lived in the United States for many years, bought homes, created community ties, and contribute billions to the economy.
As a result of the termination of TPS for Honduras and Nepal, nearly 100,000 people would lose their legal status in the United States, also affecting tens of thousands of U.S. citizen children. Many would be forced to choose between their home and a country they have never seen.
Through a separate lawsuit filed in 2018, the administration was outed for misconstruing country conditions in order to justify ending TPS for other countries. A federal court ruled that the administration had in fact violated the law when it ordered TPS terminations for El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Sudan. The decision argued that the administration had racist motivations for ending TPS for those countries.
The plaintiffs in the newly filed litigation argue that the termination for Nepal and Honduras should be stopped for the same reasons. This most recent lawsuit means all of the TPS designations terminated by the Trump administration are being challenged in court.
Yet, even a successful outcome in these lawsuits will not provide a permanent solution for TPS holders and their families. Neither Congress nor the executive branch is working on a path for TPS holders to remain in the United States permanently.
Congress must act to address the realities of a system they have thus far ignored, and the administration must stop its arbitrary attack of families living and contributing to American prosperity.

Should attacks on politicians families be out of bounds?
by keithold thanks all baggers 3 hours ago
keithold thanks all baggers
Tom 47 is back in his bear COAT
Should be, but never will be. Even if an opposing candidate does not bring up any family matters, the media always will. A gonk is a gonk is a gonk. The "noble profession" of journalism is forgotten as soon as a little gonk graduates and gets hired by a major media corp. The only reason they aren't working for National Enquirer is because NE didn't have any openings at the time or they were offered a job closer to NYC or DC. I knew so many of these little people in college that I used to draw cartoons of them. They even used to print the cartoons in the school paper...until it dawned on them that they were the cartoons...(smile).
Austinius SillyVilles Resident Lothario
It should be but it hasn't been since John Quincey Adams.
it depends on the level I wouldn't want a first lady who was a criminal
Alvar Hanso
The first amendment gives people the right to say what ever they want AS LONG as what they say does not hurt another person. People have the right to be offended, people these days equate having their feelings hurt to being physically harmed, this is not true. Nothing is out of bounds. If you want to have freedom of speech for yourself you also have to give it to the scum of the Earth even the Nazis who want to have a parade in a Jewish section of town.
Nice Guy In Bay Area
I think so. But, the days of playing fair and by the Marquess of Queensberry rules is over.
High Shaman
I believe so .... The wife, Husband, and Children etc .... should NOT have to be made of the public spectacle in what we call politics thesedays .... Yes; we have the right to Free Speech ; BUT when that speech intrudes into others PRIVATE lives and offends, hurts , and humiliates them ... we are crossing the boundries ...
Todays Media are sharks and don't care about morals or fair play they do anything they can to get a story regardless who it hurts its all about ratings and not getting the facts anymore and if that means picking on the children of a politition so be it .
Legend In Your Own Mind
No..if you want to run the affairs of a nation then you put not only yourself in the spotlight, but your entire family not to mention almost all your friends as well. Don't like it? Don't run. As for small children they hardly count. A president or senator or whatever can say off limits, but if those children cross the line then they are no longer off limits either. Picking on Palins grandkids.. I know NOBODY who has picked on the babies, just their parents. Picking on a small baby will win nobody any brownie points and they sure won't be granted any further interviews. Sure, some idiots will want to hear that sort of drivel, but those "reporters" and media outlets do so at their own peril.
jackpipe30
I think that the family members as long as they are not taking an active part in the campaign should be left alone, unless there is something criminal in nature that is going on.
xhepera
Depends on how one defines "attack" actually. Yes, egregious and pointedly malicious "going after" a politician's family members should be considered out of bounds. The fact remains, though, that politicians are celebrities and you know how the American public (and not just Americans, really, but that's the only situation I can discuss knowledgeably) loves celebrity gossip. That being said: Reporting that Dick Cheney's anti-gay policies are ironic in light of his daughter's open lesbianism is not an attack. Reporting that Lynne Cheney's pulp novel has a torrid lesbian love scene is not an attack. Reporting that Todd Palin was under investigation for allegedly shady activities is not an attack. Reporting that Bristol Palin was pregnant out of wedlock was not an attack. Reporting on the Bush daughters' underage drinking and abuse of their Secret Service protection is not an attack. Reporting that Obama's aunt is in the U.S. illegally is not an attack. Calling Chelsea Clinton a "dog" *WAS* an attack.
Lets Go Sharks
yes. Families should be off limits.Espeically kids.
Yes. In a perfect world.
It depends how much the family inserts itself into politics. Chelsea Clinton and Meghan McCain aren't out of bounds because they do insert themselves into political discourse. (I think some things are out of bounds. Frequently those two women are attacked because of their looks, not because of their arguments. That's not right either. Some pinhead right-wing radio host named Laura Ingraham has been making fun of Meghan's weight, for instance.)
Wynper
If the candidate's private actions contradict their public stance then yes it is fair game. If there is no constructive argument behind the comments then they shouldn't be made. The politician who preaches abstinence but has a pregnant teenage child, the politician who says conserve energy but lives in a huge energy sucking mansion, the anti-gay rights politician who has same sex relations or family members, the anti-immigration politician who has an illegal nanny or other staffer...these issues are fair game and worthy of mention in the public arena.
weareallhypocrites
Depends on how you define attack. Defining a comedians poor joke as an "attack" is a stretch. Comedians are going to joke about anything they think will get a laugh. If you don't want comedians making jokes about your kids drug habits or promiscuity then, um, maybe you should address your kids drug habits and promiscuity. I also noticed that politicians like Palin have a habit of taking attacks on them that mention their children are twisted into being an attack on her children. Example: Palin was criticized for being such a strong opponent of sex education except for teaching abstinence. When her daughter got pregnant, people called HER on it because it obviously was not working in her on home. I did not see any of her opponents say anything disparaging about her daughter. It was all lumped on Palin and the hypocrisy of the right wing in general. I have seen right wing Christian politicians go on about the lack of morality but seem to find a glut of "forgiveness' phrases when it comes to the fact that they don't seem to be any more moral than anyone else. Palin likes to be an attention whore and then act like a victim when the spotlight she seeks reveals more than what she wanted revealed. When you are famous, the actions of those around you are going to come to light whether it is relevant or not. When those actions are directly tied to your policies , you cannot expect it to be ignored. If the drug czar's son is busted for meth, damn right comedians are going to have a field day. If the Grand Wizard of the KKK's daughter is doing interracial porn, there is no way that's being ignored.
Only if those particular family members keep their snouts out of the politician's business. Michelle told Obama to create a council for women and girls, to further endorse the myth that women are victims by default, all the while men and boys are ignored, they're far more likely to be the victim of violent attack, fall further behind in schools, make up 98% of the homeless, and 95% of work-related deaths are male, yet they're ignored while females are catered for, for these reasons and more, Michelle is a perfectly legitimate target to attack. His children are not however, they're not involved in his decisions like Michelle is, even though she hasn't received one American vote, so they're off bounds. Anyone who uses family members to get to someone else is the lowest of the low, and extremely low in intelligence, because it means they can't get to the original target, due to weakness and lack of intelligence, so attack others instead in the sad hope that it'll affect the original target. This does not just apply to politics, but in all areas of life.
Jonathan... is back
Malicious & crude attacks Yes! Humorous one's No! Remember Billy Carter? What an f'n Nitwit! lol +5
Shoulds or not it's just not going to happen. The media is only too happy to report this garbage and a good share of the public does not expect or demend better. +5
Mr. Knowitall- The Poli Sci Guy
out of bounds, no, but is it a bad political move to attack families, yes
LarryH54
They usually are. Or were, anyway.
Moongrim
If the politician wishes to include their family as part of the need to vote for them, then they're gonna have to accept that their families will be a media target.
Do you really believe democratic politicians care about the sexual abuse of women?
What evil on Earth should be rid of?
What do you think should be done to reduce the amount of human trafficking?
Do you think politicians should have to take lie detector tests?
Should US conduct surgical strikes on Iran to take out their nuclear facilities?
Should we be more concerned with seeing the tax returns of a billionaire who became a politician?
Do politicians and diapers need to be changed often for the same reasons?
Do our politicians listen to the voice of the people or their potential voters?
Should Satan temple be destroyed?
Do politicians truly make sense?

Mt. Olive Funeral Home
Send Flowers for Roy
Plant a Tree for Roy
Roy Kenneth Tillerson
May 29, 1930 ~ June 28, 2022 (age 92) 92 Years Old
Roy Kenneth Tillerson, 92, passed away on June 28, 2022 at his home in Boswell, Oklahoma. Roy was born in Wichita Falls, Texas on May 29, 1930, the son of Roy Spencer and Sylvetta Pearl (Bennett) Tillerson. His father worked as a rancher and farmer on the family's property in North Texas. When WWII started Roy's dad volunteered for military service, but was denied as three of his brothers had already enlisted and his occupation was deemed vital to the war effort. Regardless his parents moved the family to Bellflower, California in 1942 where Roy's dad and mom worked for the Douglas Aircraft Company Plant in Long Beach as metal fabricators and welders building military aircraft for the war effort.
Roy graduated from Excelsior High School in 1947 and went into the U.S. Army shortly thereafter. He was in the service as a combat parachutist and served in the Korean War. While serving in the U.S. Army Roy met and married his first wife, Hazel Marie Tillerson in 1950 and they had two children Roy Daniel (Danny) and Theresa Ann Tillerson. After completing his military service he settled in Lakewood, California. His primary occupation was as a long haul truck driver (18-wheeler) where he traveled throughout the United States for over 45 years, retiring from Jimmie Tucker Trucking of Broken Bow, OK
He married Hope Veneta (Parson) Tillerson a native of Boswell, OK in 1966, and purchased 80 acres of land in Boswell in 1968 while still living and working in California. They moved back to Boswell in 1976 and built a home there which was completed in 1977. Roy owned this land and managed his own cattle ranch after moving permanently to Boswell in 1976. He was married to Hope for 29 years and cared for her during the latter part of her life when she suffered from lung cancer and passed away in 1995. Roy was a man of many talents and had a tremendous amount of love and respect for all of his family members and country.
He married Anita (Trout) Tillerson in 1996 another Boswell native, whom he loved and cared for over the next 18 years on the ranch which they fondly called the RAT Ranch for Roy/Anita/Tillerson. They had a wonderful time traveling and visiting children and grandchildren throughout Texas and Oklahoma. Unfortunately Anita had serious health issues later in life and she passed away in 2014. Roy loved the beauty and expanse of our country. He loved to drive or simply view the scenery. The road was his home away from home as he spent his entire life traveling through many States hauling everything you could imagine always returning to his Gentleman Ranching endeavors, feeding those cattle. They always said, "feed me".
Roy is preceded in death by his parents, older brother William E. Tillerson, children Danny and Teresa, and his former wives. He is survived by his loving nieces and nephews: Toni Crowe Pierce of Hugo, OK, Terry Crowe of Boswell, OK, Randy Crowe of Locust Grove, GA, Gene and David Tillerson of San Diego, CA, and Susan Tillerson, of Los Angeles, CA, Hope's daughter Minna Schlath of Tyler, TX, Anita's children, Casie Hemphill and Patty Benton of Lubbock, TX, and Linda James-Key of Dallas, TX, nine (9) beloved grandchildren, twenty (20) great grandchildren, and three (3) great great grandchildren, and many wonderful dearly loved family members from California to Georgia. He greatly appreciated and loved the many close friends he had in Boswell, Oklahoma and surrounding towns. Roy had a wonderful smile that was contagious when presented. He will be forever missed.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations to the American Heart Association and any Veterans Organization of your choosing.
Memorial Services and Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at 10:00 am at the Restland Cemetery in Boswell, OK.
Family and friends are invited to sign the guest book or send private condolences to the family at www.praterlampton.com .

Poly-pack: A method of packaging using various kinds of plastic. Introduced as an alternative to wax packs, it was successful because it prevented wax stains, but the transparency of the plastic usually left packs vulnerable to pack searching. Poly-packs made their debut in 1991 Stadium Club, but were phased out by the end of '93.

Now that I've got my photos and notes done for last year's spring trip to Nepal, it's time to turn my attention to this year's Manaslu Circuit Trek.
Having a bit more time than in recent years, I visited the nurse at my local GP's back in January to work out what I'll need for Nepal and Ladakh. Given that I'd suffered a bit with altitude sickness for the first time last summer in Peru, I wanted a prescription for some Diamox (The University of Utah is currently conducting a medical study into lower doses), and my WHO International Certificates of Vaccination log book was telling me that my Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio and Typhoid vaccinations were due to run out in 2016.
The nurse looked through my log book and gave me the current thinking on fresh jabs and boosters recommended for trekking / camping in remote areas, taking into account my habit of tripping and grazing knees/palms and/or falling over when failing to cross streams, plus what might happen if I had a serious accident (needles, blood transfusions etc).
Diphtheria–Tetanus-Polio (Revaxis) – I'll be getting this redone in August, 10 years since my last shot.
Typhoid (Typhim Vi) – Another one pencilled in for August. These only last 3 years.
Altitude Sickness (Diamox Tablets 250mg) – A two week supply, at 1/2 tablet a day, with a couple spare = a prescription for 10 tablets. We'll be acclimatising very gradually on the Manaslu trek so these are "just-in-case" and mainly so for Ladakh. Cost: £8.20 (prescription charge) TBC – it's a private prescription.
Malaria and Japanese Encephalitis – I'll be covering up, using mozzie repellant and taking Vit B tablets.
Cholera – Val's camp hygiene is second to none.
… even if that sentence is a little hard to parse.
I use the Austrian Alpine Club UK for mountain rescue and medical cover, and a basic annual travel policy for everything else (travel delays, theft etc). I usually go for one of the current recommendations on MoneySavingExpert. I've still got my basic policy from last summer's trip to Peru, and I've just renewed my membership of the AAC.
30 days single entry, USD40 cash. I'm a UK passport holder, and it's straightforward to get a visa on arrival at the airport – in fact based on the queues it looks like most people do. It looks like you need 2 passport photos too, although I've a recollection from last year the new "electronic system" provided that – but doesn't do away with the need to queue to get the visa put into your passport, so it was quicker overall to have a couple of photos with you. You fill out the form in the arrivals hall (usually in the queue).
We'll need to take 4 passport photos for trekking / park permits. I made mine using http://www.idphoto4you.com/ last time, and they worked fine for visa-on-arrival and permits.
A big bag of warm / waterproof clothing to donate to our trek crew.
Destination: Nepal, on a three week Manaslu Circuit trek (excellent map) anticlockwise around the mighty Manaslu (मनास्लु) – the eighth highest mountain in the world (8163 m / 26781 ft).
Why: More high altitude trekking in the Himalaya with the excellent Val Pitkethly, crossing the Larkya La (5135 m / 16847 ft) and joining the dots between last year's Tsum Valley trek and 2009's Annapurna Circuit. Steffi and Charles are coming too. We're promised some "Val specials" in terms of side treks. Plus it will be an opportunity to support the local communities at the centre of the April 2015 Nepal Earthquake, in an area where Light Education Development (LED) funds have provided school and medical supplies for many years.
How: On a private trek with Val Pitkethly, plus, I hope, Sirdar Chhiring. Flights booked with Jet Airways this morning.
Weather forecast for Gandaki zone: Kathmandu, Barpak, Lokpa (turn right for Tsum), Sama, Manaslu Base Camp, Samdo, Larkya La, Bimthang, Dharapani (where the Annapurna Circuit connects), Chyamje, Besi Sahar.

Q: How to grab each column's unique values in multiple csv files I am relatively new to R so bear with me. I have 50+ csv files and am looking to run through each of them and grab each column's unique values. They are all formatted with first row being the headers.
The ideal output would then be a data frame indicating filename, column headers, and unique values for each csv. These are unique values for each column, one at a time, not for any uniqueness across a combination of columns.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here is how I'm getting unique values as a list, but I'm not sure what to do next:
lapply(files, function(x) {
  t <- read.csv(x, header=TRUE) # load file
  unq <- apply(t, 2, unique)
})

A: This should do the trick:
do.call(rbind, lapply(files, function(x) {
  dat <- read.csv(x, header=TRUE)
  do.call(rbind, lapply(seq(ncol(dat)), function(idx) {
    data.frame(filename=x, column=colnames(dat)[idx],
               value=unique(dat[,idx]))
  }))
}))

The outer lapply returns a data frame for each of your files x, and the inner lapply returns a data frame for each column numbered idx within x.
