506 Email from Nina to Dwight, Sent Fri 4/30/04 2:31 PM

Hello Dwight

I was surprised,but pleased to hear from you. I will do my best to tell you about my volunteer activities (I don't know if you are interested in what I did in my younger, or work years) much has been either lost or is in storage. I had a wall full of framed certificates in the house in Denver, but they are all in storage now.

I did locate an old file with some of the information you might want. This is going to sound a bit like an obituary I expect,though.

I was State Director of AARP in Colorado from December of 1981 to December of 1985. By the way, how in the world did you come across the newspaper clipping of a letter I wrote so long ago?

As Sate Director (I believe they call that office State President now).. both Bill and I had many opportunities. I not only travelled over the state visiting chapters, but attended yearly conventions in different cities, as well as trips to Washington DC and other meetings requiring my presence. In 1986 I served on the Resolutions Committee requiring me to go to Washington DC. This is a committee that sets up priorities that AARp will work for at the next convention. All of my expenses were covered, but there was no salary.

Before I took that office I was president of my local chapter for some years, then served as Assistant State Director for a few yeaars. There were a number of people serving in that office under the SD.

After serving my term as SD, I was a member of the AARP Legislative Committee. We met weekly and went over bills that had priority for us with the Legislature. We attended the sessions, and I sometimes testified for a bill.

I served as a member of the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) in 1994, then resigned, for what reason I don't presently recall.

Served in 1983, for how long I don't have record, under Mayor Federico Pena on the Commission on Aging, and have a beautiful wooden plaque from him for my service.

I don't have a date on this, but I served on the Board for OASIS, a senior activity and study group which started out in Denver at space given them by May D&F. Mayor McNichols and I cut the ribbon upon its opening there.

In 1986 I served on the Denver Commission on Aging, don't have a record of how long--and have also a very nice certificate from Governor Lamb.

I worked with Congressman Tim Wirth with a senior group who lobbied for him and through that, met and shook hands with President Carter. i have a picture of the President and myself.

Locally, im my community, I worked with City Councilman Sam Sandos to get a senior center in the Barnum Community. I wrote many letters, attended many meetings and testified at City Council to achieve that. I had assistance from other local people. It is a beautiful center and has served the BarnumCommunity well. I have taken part in a lot of the activity there, and before moving here had led a discussion group for six or more years, on every topic you can think of.

In addition to that I was active in the Bethany United Methodist Church in many offices and received some wonderful recognition and plaques from them.

This is as much as I can think of currently. If you are interested in any part of my life before retirement, I will be glad to see what I can put together for you.

Incidentally, have you read the book "An Owl On Every Post"? This is a story--mostly true--about the area where my dad and mom homesteaded and where I was born. My great granddaughter, Laura Frank, presently has the book and is working up a report on it for one of her classes. It would give you an insight to where your grandmother lived, and what her life was like there.

Hope this is what you want.

I have my ups and downs, lbut so far am staying in there.

Love,

Nina 		Nicholas, Nina Bertha (I222)

I also have Brose, Ehredt and Schulte in my Hamann B and Schulte 2b Family Trees. Brose family information is what I lack...
My Emil Albert Schulte (married Louisa/Louise Wilhelmina (Ehredt)) is the youngest son (nine siblings)of Friedrich Carl/Karl/Charles and Ida Henriette (Hamann) Schulte and was born in the Schulte family home in the Township of Colby, Clark County, Wisconsin.
Before the move to Clark County, Wisconsin, the Hamann family was situated in South Manitowoc Co. Wisconsin and North Sheboygan County, Wisconsin.

508 Email received from David Christen about the Rath family received 17 Sep 2011:

Dwight,

Sarah's father (C. Adam Rath) was the eldest brother of my (maternal-paternal) great-grandmother [Magdalena "Lena" M. Haring (née Rath)]. They came from a rather large family in Washington Township, Carroll County, Illinois.

Father: Johannes "John" Rath, Jr.

1st Wife: Katharina Barbara Rath (née Schmidt)

1. C. Adam Rath
2. Heinrich "Henry" Rath
3. Gottlob Rath
4. Albert Frederick Rath
5. Rosina / Rosena "Rosie" Kathlene Wurster (née Rath)
6. Magdalena "Lena" M. Haring (née Rath)
7. John W. Rath

( remarried after 1st wife passed away )

2nd Wife: Katharina "Kate" Rath (née Meyers)

8. Emilie C. Wurster (née Rath)
9. Caroline "Carrie" Phillipine Groezinger (née Rath)
10. Charles J. Rath
11. Sarah G. Rath
12. Emma Lister (née Rath)
13. Agnes A. Reibel (née Rath)
14. George J. Rath
15. Lewis H. Rath
16. Lillian "Lillie" Dorthea Barbara Messmer (née Rath)

The only photos I have of this family at this time (other than tombstones) are of my great-grandmother [Magdalena "Lena" M. Haring (née Rath)] and unfortunately the quality is not that good -- I was given a photocopy of three old photographs --

I also have many birth dates, dates of death, cemetery information, marriage dates, relatives, etc. If you are interested, just let me know what information you would like. I just started researching our family tree two years ago, so I'm still rather new at this.

My mother's maiden name is 'Haring' and we're actually having the 'Haring' family reunion tomorrow (Sept. 18th). I found out that her sister, my aunt, goes to the 'Rath' family reunion each year. I believe they have it in Mt. Carroll, Illinois and I think they just held it last month.

I live in Lena, Illinois which is about 15 miles from the area where the Rath family lived. My mother was born and grew up in that area.


Glad to help,
David Christen

522 Excerpt from an email from Jan McAlpin:
From Jan Mc Alpin
To Dwight Thompson

Subject Re: Proposed Change: ? McAlpin (I2554)
My father Hugh Bain Mcalpin was the youngest of the boys. There was a period of time
when I was very young, in the early 1960?s, when Uncle Norman used to visit on
Sundays. He and Dad would often have a jam session. I adored both my father and Uncle
Norman. both of them had good senses of humour, and were kind to children, altho
Uncle Norman had his limits, lol. Sadly, my wowser mother put a stop to these visits.
Along with everyone else. Uncle Norman was at the time, not allowed to see his kids,
as I was told. When he got sick, and was in Fairfield, I wasn?t allowed to go and
see him before he passed away. It was very sad. I remember a part of his funeral.
But, and you don?t have to believe this, most wouldn?t. I saw him about three
weeks after his death. He didn?t speak, just smiled at me. And it was comforting
at the time.

I only have a couple of photos. One of my dad, and one of Uncle Norman in the backyard
of his brothers place at Edithvale. He lived in a bungalow there, and tended vegetables,
as can be seen in the pic. He worked, so I was told, at the Lucas Factory in Dandenong,
and was the source of beaut green glass tombola (large) type marbles. Raw product
for the windscreens and head and taillights of Holdens, etc.

So Uncle Normans son has passed also, I am sorry to hear that. I never met Normans
kids. It was a shame, but we became isolated from both sides of family over time.
In the end, Dad was the last of the boys, as it would be, and missed his family too
much.

Kind regards,
Janm 		McAlpin, Hugh Bain (I2556)

As far as I know, the musical streak, or ear runs thru the family, and either you
got it, or you ain?t. Uncle Bob played the violin, until he lost an arm at the
sawmill the boys ran at Gembrook. As mentioned previously, Uncle Norman played the
guitar, the banjo, and the saxophone and probably could fudge it on the clarinet
as well.. Mainly guitar and banjo. As for Uncle Ron, don?t remember, and Alan died
in 1946, or thereabouts. Musically, there was an pedal organ owned by Normans grandmother
that got passed down thru the girls. Great aunt Helen? And Normans sister wrote ?flowery?
poetry. I listened to a recitation once. Politely. As one did.
I did meet a great aunt, Great Uncle Roberts widow at Seymour, at her house on Station
Street called Banavie, as far as I remember. In the 1960?s.

Dad was an older father, so to meet one of his aunts was in retrospect amazing.
He was 49 when I arrived, and 52 when my brother was born.

So one grows up between two generations.

Anyway, sorry to ramble, runs in the family, hoho.

Cheers,
Janm

As far as I know, up until 1923, Norman grew up at Tooradin. The Mcalpin boys also
ran a chaff cutter down there, hired out, along with their labour, around the district
for a time. Uncle Ron had bought land there, and my grandfather then also bought
land, along Muddy Gates Road.  		McAlpin, Hugh Bain (I2556)

Subject Re: Proposed Change: ? McAlpin (I2554)
Have gone and visited Uncle Norman at Springvale. And his mother, my grandmother,
Anne Bain, who is in a numbered section on the left of the main gate when you drive
in. Should I be there for any reason, I shall do so again.

The one I can?t find is my grandfather John McAlpin. I know he died in Dandenong
Private hospital in 1923. I have one photo of him which I must put up in Ancestry.
It, and a photo of Norman were the only photos Dad had. Other Mcalpins will probably
have more.

Cheers, Janm 		McAlpin, Hugh Bain (I2556)
