"The Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith delivered the keynote address on "A Season of Nonviolence." Both Roots Kelso and Topaz described the speech as "inspiring."
"He spoke of how every little step towards nonviolent solutions is backed by multitudes, all of those who have come before and worked for peace. Consider the lineage of Gandhi and King, and we never need to feel alone," Roots Kelso said.

Remnant of Beckwourth trail removed from Reno-area land sale
Remnant of historic trail removed from Reno-area land sale: "The remnant of a pioneer trail near Reno that's believed to still bear the marks of California-bound settlers has been removed from Washoe County's surplus auction block.
A stretch of the Jim Beckwourth Trail about the length of three football fields had been included in a 3.3 acre parcel. It includes a 300-yard swale or depression in the soft ground left by wagon trains.
The county bought it as a potential site for a new juvenile detention center, which since has been built elsewhere. County commissioners agreed Tuesday to preserve the land.

Sylhet
Sylhet: "Nestled in the picturesque Surma Valley amidst scenic tea plantations and lush green tropical forests, greater Sylhet is a prime attraction for all tourists visiting Bangladesh. Laying between the Khasia and the Jaintia hills on the north, and the Tripura hills on the south, Sylhet breaks the monotony of the flatness of this land by a multitude of terraced tea gardens, rolling countryside and the exotic flora and fauna. Here the thick tropical forests abound with many species of wildlife, spread their aroma around the typical hearth and homes of the Mainpuri Tribal maidens famous for their dance. "

NASA Cancels Trip to Supply Hubble, Sealing Early Doom
For now, of course, the Hubble lives. Dr. Beckwith said: "We at the institute are devastated by the potential loss of Hubble. But we will do our absolute best to make the final years of its life the most glorious science you've ever seen."
Let the administration know that you support the great work of Dr. Beckwith and his colleagues...who have expanded our knowledge and appreciation of the universe perhaps more than anyone in our lifetimes.

Griswold Shakespeare and Becket
Griswold Shakespeare and Becket
FROM HARPER'S 1876 via PioneerPictures.com:
† The Griswolds and Wolcotts were of the old English gentry. Matthew Griswold, the first magistrate of the Saybrook colony, married Annah, the daughter of Henry Wolcott. Matthew Griswold was a descendant of Sir Humphrey Griswold, whose seat was at Malvern Hall.
Malvern Hall
Henry Wolcott was the son and heir of John Wolcott, of Golden Manor. The manor-house is still standing, an immense castle of great antiquity, designed for the purposes of defense against the excesses of a lawless age, as well as for a permanent family residence. It is richly ornamented with carved work, and upon the walls may be seen the motto of the family arms, "Nullius addictus jurare in verba magistri" --inclined to swear in the words of no master. It was in keeping with the independent spirit of an English gentleman of the Middle Ages, and with that of a Puritan of a later date, who spurned the dictation of ecclesiastical wisdom. Wolcott sold a portion of his estate before he left England. He was a magistrate in the Connecticut colony, and his descendants in the direct line were magistrates, judges, and Governors for a period of over one hundred and eighty successive years.

St Thomas à Becket's Chapel, Solihull Parish
In the stonework behind the reredos can be seen the tower buttress on to which the wall of the north transept was built. In the angle between the buttress and the archway, later blocked, was the original chapel of St. Thomas à Becket. The builders of the first church would have shared the popular reverence for the martyred Archbishop who was murdered in 1170 and canonised in 1173.
...
The pediment contains the shield of Henry Greswold Lewis of Malvern Hall and was part of the screen to the family pew. On the south wall of the chapel is a Jacobean monument containing a brass, dated 1610, to William and Ursula Hawes, the builders of Hillfield Hall. Below it in a modern window opening is a stained glass panel from Hillfield Hall, containing the coats of arms of Fielding, Greswold and Aston. Opposite, in the north wall, is a dramatic portrayal of the martyrdom of Thomas à Becket.

Hildene and the Robert Todd Lincoln family
Hildene
Hildene - Historic Home of Robert Todd Lincoln in Manchester, Vermont
The PBS special, "Abraham and Mary Lincoln: A House Divided" has renewed a lot of interest in the Lincoln's and their kin. The beautiful Hildene, the home of Abraham and Mary's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, is a good place to start. Hildene is remarkably reminescent of the ancient home of Landon Carter, Sabine Hall (pictured below), located on Virginia's Northern Neck...which also shares Lincoln/Todd roots. (See post below)
Sabine Hall
Robert Todd Lincoln & the Lincoln Family
Robert Todd Lincoln, the only son of President Abraham Lincoln and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to maturity, married Mary Harlan, the 22 year old daughter of a U.S. Senator from Iowa. They had three children - Mary, Abraham II and Jessie. Abraham II, their only son, died at the young age of 16. Mary married Charles Isham and had a son, Lincoln Isham. At this point I would direct the reader to composer and musician, Mark Isham, whose music if often as glorious as a Lincoln address.
Jessie bore two children by her first husband, Warren Beckwith -- Robert "Bud" Lincoln Beckwith and Mary "Peggy" Lincoln Beckwith. Peggy never married and was the last Lincoln descendant to occupy Hildene. Lincoln Isham and Robert "Bud" Beckwith both married, but neither bore fruit. Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith died in 1985.
Warren Beckwith's ancestry includes the ancestors of Marmaduke Beckwith of England and Matthew Beckwith of Connecticut.
The Beckwiths
"Mary Lincoln Beckwith, more affectionately known as "Peggy," inherited Hildene in 1938 at the age of 40. She was an active woman with a fondness for animals and a love of the outdoors. Peggy piloted her own planes and flew in and out of Manchester from a hangar and airstrip which existed on Hildene's Meadowlands. Photography, art, sculpting and skiing were just a few of her hobbies. She was known by Manchester residents to be a shy, but generous and caring person. Never married, Peggy lived at Hildene until her death in 1975."

In the 13th century the monasteries owned much of the land and had granges where sheep were grazed. The monks used tracks, such as Scotland Lane and Staircase Lane, as they travelled from their outlying granges to Kirkstall Abbey. At the dissolution of the monasteries Henry VIII gave the land to the Earl of Cumberland. In the 16th century the Dyneley family moved into the area and acquired Bramhope Hall. In 1649 they built the Puritan Chapel, which was taken over by the Church of England after the Restoration.

Campsall Church is very ancient and reputed to be the place where Robin and Marian were married. Near the end of the Geste, Robin begs the King to allow him to return to the north to pray at the chapel of St. Mary Magdalen in Barnsdale. The Cluniac priory of Monk Bretton, near Robin Hood's Well, is dedicated to that saint, as too was Campsall and one of the chantry chapels in Wakefield. The Magdalen cult was strongly involved with the legends of the Holy Grail, the Merovingian royal family in France, Knights Templar and the medieval Cathar heresy, although it is not certain whether any of these influences had found their way into the English Church.
