Years ago. It was then that Irena Webster and Barbara Spencer dunn joined with the woman who became my first boss at the aspca. They had the vision to get right to support the works the Parks Service was doing to protect the africanamerican experience. Sadly, irena passed away at the start of this year, and i wanted to take a moment to talk about the preservation of the history to achieve black Voting Rights to remember my boss, my friend, and the true pioneer in the long and ongoing process to make conservation and preservation organizations like npca more inclusive. For our panel today, people will understand that it is wideranging, multifaceted and current. Its still going on. What we want to do with this panel of experts and people who are my friends, folks that i admire, is to get their insights on this issue, but maybe in more specific and direct ways.

I know going to a bad Army Hospital was not the worst thing that could happen to you, but i dont know if these hospitals were segregated or theres because having a crazy uncle somewhere in your house is a trope in fiction from that period of time. The crazy uncle probably also had a child with a french nam

Even after advisory goes down you will still experience some high wind, and those chilly, temperatures. The those are all of the counties, the ones highlighted that have wind advisory. Look at this, a 45 miles an hour wind gustness mount pocono at this hour. That is Tropical Storm force. 36 miles an hour wind, and gusts in philadelphia, wind gusts of 33 miles an hour in wildwood.

Factor in that 26 miles an hour wind and it feels like 28. It feels like 28 outside. Bob kelly, we told to you get your winter coat out of the clea
