Honors US History
Delaney
Jefferson Vander Wolk Info
born in 1930, on the cusp of the Great Depression
“I’ve been a pretty lucky guy, starting with being born American.”
rebellious nonconformist and taking matters a step further, a “peck’s bad boy”
got acquainted, earlier than virtually all of his friends, with the Town’s Chief of Police
devoted much of his spare time to his first entrepreneurial pursuit: purchasing and “renovating” Model A Fords
At fourteen, he worked as a line boy at Barnes Airport in Westfield, Massachusetts, where a friendly pilot taught him how to fly in a Piper Cub
was already planning to get into this or that business (as a teen)
Never really excelled as a high school student
parents were neither rich nor poor
between brother’s record and a deathbed plea from mother (who died a few months later from cancer), Exeter decided to take a chance on him
father was a Harvard graduate, but consistent with his normal behavior, I chose to go to Yale
a “good-time Charlie” and less-than-serious student
father thought he needed a year’s sabbatical from school in which to discover “the real world,” so he suspended the financial support needed to go to Yale
“That kid of yours is going to wind up either a millionaire or in jail”--father's friend
During “sabbatical” from college, he started a business in Florida
Two jobs later his father said he was ready to send him back to college
the most appropriate of these options was a business school in Wellesley, Massachusetts
roommate (during Armed Forces), aware of his interest in business, had put a jet chart of the Southwest on the wall with a red circle around Big Spring and the notation, “Land of better business opportunities.”
took up residence in Midland and completed a mail-order course called “How to Build a House”
Within 24 months, the he and a partner were building mostly custom homes at a rate of more than 50 a year and becoming affluent faster than either would have previously dreamed possible
Father provided funds for a subdivision in building rental apartments
Approached by an officer of Midland's largest savings and loan association about building a better lodging facility downtown
Bank offered to lend him and his business partner whatever they needed to build the property
This hotel later became the Sheraton and opened in 1962
Took a break from building to manage apartments and hotels

Research Overview
Bruce Zetter is a pioneer in understanding how cell movement affects tumor metastasis. In 1980, he made the key discovery that interferon alpha, which inhibits viral proliferation, also inhibits the locomotion of endothelial cells necessary for angiogenesis. His work led to the use of interferon alpha to treat hemangiomas.
Dr. Zetter's laboratory's current focus is on tumor metastasis and on identifying diagnostic and prognostic markers that can guide treatment decisions, including a new prognostic marker for prostate cancer. Specifically, the investigators are looking at:
The mechanisms used by cancer cells to spread or metastasize to distant sites.
The genetic, molecular and cellular changes that occur as tumors undergo progression from benign to aggressive.
The development of new markers for the diagnosis and prognosis of human cancers.
The development of novel therapeutic treatments for metastatic human cancers.
The Zetter lab has developed a panel of markers to predict which tumors are likely to metastasize or to have already produced metastatic colonies. The prototype for this type of molecule is thymosin Beta-15, which stimulates cell migration and promotes metastasis in prostate cancer cells. Tumors in which thymosin Beta-15 cannot be detected are unlikely to develop metastases and may not warrant aggressive treatment, while those expressing thymosin B -15 are more likely to have disseminated metastases and are candidates for aggressive systemic therapy.
About Bruce Zetter
Dr. Zetter received a PhD from the University of Rhode Island. He completed postdoctoral fellowships at MIT and at the Salk Institute in San Diego. He has received numerous national and international awards for his work in the field of cancer research, including a Faculty Research Award from the American Cancer Society and the MERIT award from the US National Cancer Institute.

OUTLINE:
1. introduce subject and state facts
-youngest of 10 siblings
-grew up in Brittany France
-mother died when Anne was 6
-aunt raised her
2. german occupation of france
-young german soldiers who tried to scare everyone in town and would sleep with all the young women (prostitutes-> good thing for her because otherwise she could have been raped)
-15 to 16 years old during the occupation
-people occupying the house were older soldiers who didn't really want to be stationed there and treated her well
-people were hung
-she went to get food from the local village and saw one person who had been hung in front of their house
-Hitler's mistress in her town
-group assembled to deoccupy the town
*the group had some of the mistress's brothers, who she then told on them to one of the german soldiers and the group was hung but the brothers hid in a chimney and got away and killed the mistress aka their sister (elaborate later)
-order to evacuate everyone in the town to the fields and then shoot them. Anne's friend knew of this and told her so she could escape with others over the river and hid on the island. Order never went through, murders were cancelled
-Americans showed up shortly after
-Relieved when the Americans showed up and saved her
3. Immigration
-looking for a better life
-can always go back to France if she didn't like Quebec, then went to America
-while in Quebec she lived with Jewish people and met her husband and moved to Cali
4. Justified War?
-"War is War."
-We think it is a justified war for America to join simply based off the fact that Hitler and his power and the holocaust. Main thing to realize, if he war isn't over something incredibly important it is most likely not worth it because so many people (even those not directly involved), are affected in traumatizing and dramatic ways.
Script:
Anne Felipe was born in Brittany, France in 1928. Anne was the youngest of eleven children. At the age of six, her mother died, and she was raised by her half sister Millee. Even before Anne was born, her family was affected by war: her mother’s first two husbands died of complications of being gassed in World War I.
When Anne was eleven years old, World War II began. (possible video clip) The Axis powers of Germany, Italy, and Japan were at war with the Allied powers of England, the Soviet Union, and eventually the US. German soldiers arrived in Anne's small French village when Anne was fifteen. Once they arrived they preceded to overrun the village and occupy people's homes, including Anne's.
Many of the soldiers occupying Anne’s village were young men, who were members of the dreaded SS. These soldiers instilled fear in the villagers. Riding their motorcycles through the streets, clicking their boots together while giving the Nazi salute and declaring “Heil Hitler!” they attempted to intimidate the
civilians. Anne heard the SS were capable of horrible acts.
Anne witnessed many women heading out of the village to the surrounding fields for “rendez-vous” with German soldiers. Many of these women were prostitutes, and Anne today feels that their “services” likely saved many of the village women from being raped. Anne felt that she was lucky to have older, non-SS soldiers occupying her home. She said that they were tired of war and just wanted to get home to their own families.
Many people in Anne’s village were outraged to have the German soldiers involved in their lives. A group of young men in the town started to hold meetings in hopes of forcing the German’s out of the town. They were part of the French underground, or “resistance”. Meanwhile, a young woman who happened to be related to one of the rebels frequently hung out with the German soldiers. She had taken many trips to Germany. It was reputed that she was a mistress of Hitler. Because of her close relationship with the Germans, this woman was later suspected of a horrible crime that Anne will never forget. As Anne was walking to the store one day, she witnessed something that no 15 year old girl should have to encounter.
VIDEO CLIP
The two rebels that hid in the chimney were lucky to escape. After the war, the woman who was presumed to have informed on the group was found face down in the river, strangled and shot. It was rumored that her brothers were the ones who exacted the revenge on her.
The stress of the German occupation seemed to last forever to Anne. From her house, Anne would watch the Allied airplanes go by and would hear the bombing occur and witness as the towns lit up. She thought this was a beautiful sight, and from her windowsill was the only way she knew that the war was still going on. The German’s banned the French from listening to the radio because the allied forces would broadcast war updates. The Germans wanted Anne‘s town to be completely isolated and for the people to have no clue how the war was turning out. If the villagers were caught listening to the radio, the soldiers would have done awful things to punish them, such as hanging them or shooting them. Actually, Anne’s best friend and her mother were turned in by a neighbor for supposedly listening to the forbidden broadcasts. They were sent to separate concentration camps. Luckily they survived the war, but they came home looking like human skeletons.
As the Allies started to gain momentum in the war, the German troops were forced to retreat. Anne later learned that in an attempt to be as vindictive as possible, the Germans were given specific orders to evacuate Anne’s village. Once the villagers were in the fields, they were to be executed en masse. Anne’s brother, who had escaped from German captivity, and had seen indescribable things at the front, decided the family should flee rather than evacuate under the Germans. They left the village one night, crossing a river to hide with family in a neighboring village. From there they were able to see several homes burning; the Germans were destructive on their way out. Thankfully, the orders to kill the villagers were cancelled at the last minute and Anne’s villagers were spared.
Anne was overjoyed when the Americans came to her town. She still remembers the sound of the church bells ringing to announce the news. She had kept her hair in curlers for three days in anticipation of the Allies arrival, just so she could look beautiful for the American soldiers!
VIDEO CLIP
After the war Anne eventually immigrated to America in hopes of a better life. She realized that the opportunities that awaited her were full of hope, and she knew that if things didn’t work out abroad there was always a place back home in France. She first immigrated to Canada, where she met and married Jose Felipe. The two then moved to California, where they raised two children. Although Anne has not visited France in quite some time, her daughter lives just outside of Paris. She was able to overcome the devastation of war and build a new life in the US; however, she has never quite put the memories behind her.
Even though the French decided to stay out of World War II, it is evident that war can have devastating effects on a wide range of people, even those who are not directly involved in the war. Perhaps this teaches us that war should be avoided as much as possible, for its affects can devastate an entire generation of combatants and non-combatants alike.

The Women Appointed for Voluntary Emergency Service, or WAVES, the women's branch of the navy, also was founded in 1942. It was headed by Mildred McAfee Horton (1900-1994). In August 1944, the navy ship the Santuary became the first ship to have women serving on board, with two officers and 60 enlisted women. In October of that same year, the WAVES admitted the first black women to military service. The Marine Corps Woman's Reserve, or MCWRS, for which there was no nickname, began operation January 29, 1943, with Ruth Cheney Streeter (1895-1990) as its director. In all, nearly 350,000 women served in the armed forces during World War II.
U.S. Navy's WAVES gave women full military pay and status for non-combat jobs.
