Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965)

On one side of the family, Albert Schweitzer was the grandson of a pastor; on the other side, the grandson of an organist. His mother was the daughter of the pastor; his pastor father was the son of the organist. Schweitzer lived in a country that was sometimes French, sometimes German; the predominant religion was protestant (mostly Lutheran), whose pastors were forced by Louis XIV to share their church with catholics. The Alsation dialect was a practical mixture of German and French – whichever offered the shortest way of saying a particular thing. Like his country and his church, Schweitzer learned to blend opposite entities into one personality, however not always simultaneously: theology and music, philosophy and medicine, a comfortable life and one of chosen poverty, intellectual lifestyle and a life of service that allowed no time for organ playing and intellectual pursuits. These opposites were results of choices made as a boy and as a young man. These choices made him famous. The fame did not interfere with his humility, and Albert Schweitzer is still considered a man worthy of recognition and emulation. Most of us, however, apparently do not have the motivation or the self-control to emulate this great man!

New Brunswick, Graveyard Dance: Millenium series 32

This journey is a little different than most, as we say goodbye to Campbellton, known for it's salmon festival and Restigouche Sam, today in his pool of soapsuds. (student prank) Our tour is more of a journey, into the past, to the small villages, with names Like Jacquet River, Charlo, Belldune and Nash Creek where my relatives settled in the 1800s. Not only do we connect with living relatives , but those of long ago, as Graveyards tell many stories. Our reaction is one of surprise and delight, as we do our graveyard dance. We also learn about fiddleheading. Please join us on this geneological journey. There are many photos and more information about Campbellton and small villages of the Restigouche. Please join us. ME

Be a Guest Curator at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

In looking for some links to works by Elmer Bischoff, I stumbled over this gold nugget of a site! You can go to the art works (75,000?) conserved in these two museums which are "The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco." The de Young and the California Palace of the Legion of Honor have combined a lot of their energies for fund-raising, advertising, and other mundane functions that museums employ in order to stay afloat. Go over there and look through these collections! And you can make up a small virtual exhibit. Name it, and get it onto the Index, and then let us know where to find it. This techie stuff is totally amazing!
