One post to the UChicago Mutual Aid Facebook group claimed that “the new general manager fired Gracie and without giving her any kind of retirement/severance.” The post further alleged that the manager “had the gall to call her and ask her for her recipes for the pastries without offering her any compensation for them.” The owner and general manager of the Medici both told The Maroon that Gamero was not fired but she was furloughed due to concerns for her health while COVID-19 cases in the area remain high Kirsten Esterly, who retired as general manager of the Medici in August, said that Gamero did not support the boycott in a post to the closed Hyde Park Classics Facebook group “While I’m very disappointed in the manner Gracie left the Medici I can say that she was planning on retiring in the near future and that she has asked that I post this on her behalf since she is not on Facebook,” Esterly said The Maroon could not reach Esterly for comment Medici owner Kathy Morsbach told The Maroon in an email that Gamero “was furloughed because of concerns about her health which make her a high-risk for COVID-19 It was for this reason that my management staff and I felt that it was safer for her to be home until the incidence of COVID in the community declined.” 60637, the ZIP code the Medici resides in, reported 944 confirmed cases of COVID-19 out of 21,797 tests, as per the Illinois Department of Public Health another ZIP code heavily served by the Medici reported 648 confirmed cases out of 17,079 tests Morsbach also responded to rumors that the Medici had been sold following the hiring of new management after Esterly retired “The ownership of the restaurant remains with the Morsbach family as it has for over 50 years,” Morsbach said we have maintained constant and open communication with Gracie and her family to monitor the evolution of pandemic circumstances and her return to work,” Medici general manager Pablo Manriquez said in an email The Maroon was unable to reach Gamero for comment Your support will ensure that we can continue producing powerful and accessible reporting that serves the University of Chicago and Hyde Park communities Your email address will not be published.

What: "I Am My Own Wife," by Doug Wright, a UNCW student production presented by the Red Barn Studio Where: Red Barn Studio, 1122 S. Third St., Wilmington Tickets: $12, $10 for students and seniors Details: 762-0955 or www.RedBarnStudioTheatre.com Rylan Morsbach and Trey Morehouse graduated from the University of North Carolina Wilmington earlier this month with double majors, both including degrees in Theater. But while they're technically free men now, there's one piece of unfinished business before they forever depart the world of undergraduates. On Thursday, May 17, Morehouse will direct and Morsbach will star in "I Am My Own Wife," a play by Doug Wright about the extraordinary life of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, who was a biological male but lived most of his life as a woman. The play, which won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is being presented by and at the Red Barn Studio, but is being staged entirely by UNCW students. "We're doing it for ourselves at this point," Morsbach said. He recently completed his final honors project on the historical and gender issues in the play. He and Morehouse, who are roommates, have been kicking around the idea of staging "I Am My Own Wife" for more than a year now, but "there's always been that other thing, job or school," Morsbach said. It's probably best that they cleared their schedules, because the degree of difficulty here is high. Still, if anyone is up for the challenge of portraying the 35 roles in the one-man show it would be Morsbach. One of the finest young actors in town, he has appeared in plays for both UNCW and various local theater companies. Only five or six characters are really fully developed in "Wife," Morsbach said, and he's trying to make subtle transitions in a way that "eschews the stereotypes and cliches of one-man shows," a process aided by Wright – who eventually turns up as a character himself, "Adaptation"-style, in the play. Von Mahlsdorf eluded the Nazis and the East German Stasi before going on to amass a museum-quality collection of 19th century furniture. In fact, she (von Mahlsdorf preferred to be referred to in the feminine) eventually turned her home into a museum before dying in 2002. Approximately 3% of American children are affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), yet Black children are 2–4 times more likely to experience OSA compared to White children. Little is known about parental experiences in detection, diagnosis, and treatment of OSA in their child, and how these experiences may differ by race. The study objective was to highlight convergent and divergent experiences between and across Black and White parents in the OSA detection process for their child. Black and White mothers experienced different paths to detection and diagnosis for their child's sleep disordered breathing, that are affected by individual awareness, education, patient-provider interactions, and experiences with the healthcare system. Divergent themes such as Misplaced Blame among Black mothers were a potential indication of racism and health disparities. Volume 2 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389/frsle.2023.1193539 This article is part of the Research TopicWomen in Pediatric and Adolescent SleepView all 6 articles Introduction: Approximately 3% of American children are affected by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) yet Black children are 2–4 times more likely to experience OSA compared to White children Little is known about parental experiences in detection and how these experiences may differ by race The study objective was to highlight convergent and divergent experiences between and across Black and White parents in the OSA detection process for their child Methods: We conducted 27 semi-structured interviews with mothers whose child was referred for a diagnostic overnight polysomnogram (PSG) to assess for OSA Parents described how their child was referred for a PSG and their perceptions and feelings throughout the detection process Data were analyzed using a thematic descriptive approach Themes that were unique to one racial group were categorized as divergent whereas themes described by individuals from both groups were categorized as convergent we examined the prevalence within each racial group noting those that were more prevalent (>10% difference in prevalence) in one race or the other Results: The sample included 19 Black and 8 White mothers Qualitative analysis yielded 21 themes across 5 categories that captured divergent and convergent experiences across Black and White mothers during the OSA detection process for their child Divergent themes that were unique to Black mothers included It Takes a Village—Teacher Only one divergent theme among White parents emerged Additional convergent themes were identified that were more prevalent in one race compared to the other Discussion: Black and White mothers experienced different paths to detection and diagnosis for their child's sleep disordered breathing and experiences with the healthcare system Divergent themes such as Misplaced Blame among Black mothers were a potential indication of racism and health disparities We posit that this path is influenced by parent experiences that are shaped by race While OSA affects up to 5% of American children, black children are 2–4 times more likely to experience OSA compared to white children (Levers-Landis and Redline, 2007; Paruthi, 2022). Evidence suggests that median time to diagnosis can be up to five times longer among black children compared to their white counterparts (Kilaikode et al., 2018) Delayed diagnosis may contribute to broader disparities in health and academic functioning Given that race is a social construct influenced by historical and contemporary manifestations of structural racism it is important to examine how parents' race may affect their OSA detection journey experience (e.g. interactions with the education or healthcare system) are studies examining the role of race in parental experience with pediatric OSA detection our objective was to examine shared and unique parental experiences with pediatric OSA detection in black and white parents We applied grounded theory as our methodological approach to guide qualitative analysis. Grounded theory is an evidence-based method for analyzing qualitative research that enables the generation of new understandings of a phenomenon to emerge from data that has been collected and organized in a systematic way (Noble and Mitchell, 2016) This theoretical approach was selected as it places the parent experiences at the center of the analysis identifying themes driven by the data rather than through a-priori codes This methodological approach is well-recognized in qualitative research and is described in greater detail below Participant interview data was selected from a larger sample described in detail elsewhere (Honaker et al., 2022) all participants were parents of a child who had been referred to the Riley Sleep Disorders Center in Indianapolis Indiana for a diagnostic sleep study (polysomnogram; PSG) for the indication of sleep-disordered breathing Parents of Black children and/or children living in historically disinvested neighborhoods were over-recruited given their high-risk for OSA and under-detection rates The sample size (n = 30) was not selected a-priori but interviews were conducted until thematic saturation was reached For the current analysis (n = 27), parents were included only if they identified as: (1) White non-Hispanic (n = 8), with no additional races or ethnicities endorsed, or (2) Black, with or without additional races or Hispanic ethnicity endorsed (n = 19). We classified parents who self-identified as Black and another race as Black, given that bi-racial or multiracial Black groups, tend to ascribe to Black identity and political views (Davenport, 2016) and that our focus on parent experiences with OSA detection shaped by race A research associate invited and consented eligible participants over the phone. During the 15-min phone call, demographic and OSA knowledge questions were administered, in addition to scheduling the subsequent phone call. Interviews were conducted via phone. The interviewer used a semi-structured interview guide (Appendix A) that incorporated questions about how children came to be referred for a PSG as well as parental experiences and feelings throughout the detection process Interviews lasted ~30 min and participants received a $40 gift card The study was approved by the Indiana University School of Medicine Institutional Review Board Informed consent was obtained from all study participants during the initial phone call The parent of the target child referred for PSG reported their age Convergent themes thus could be comparable between groups (i.e. occurring in both group at similar frequency) Participant sociodemographic characteristics Parents interviewed were at a variety of stages in the OSA detection process (e.g. treatment completed; surgery pending; no treatment needed; PSG scheduled; decided not to complete PSG) These estimates are presented descriptively as the study was not powered to conduct statistical comparisons nor was this consistent with the study objective The rate of OSA diagnosis was 58% for Black children and 50% for White children PSG completion rates were comparable for both Black and White children 16% of Black children and 38% of White children had received treatment for their OSA Twenty-one themes were classified into five categories (Table 2): Variable Signs and Symptoms, PSG Facilitators and Barriers, OSA Knowledge, Healthcare Experiences, and Parent Experiences. A description of the themes is included in Table 2. Additional details and examples of themes can be found in our previously published work with the larger sample (Honaker et al., 2022) Parental experience with pediatric OSA detection: categories Convergent themes were reported in both Black and White mothers. Divergent themes were only reported by one race of mothers. Table 3 illustrates select quotes by Black and White mothers, organized by theme. Classification of themes as divergent or convergent are presented in Figure 1. Figure 1 is a Venn diagram of the convergent and divergent themes identified by mothers This figure visually depicts themes that are overlapping experiences among all mothers Select quotes of parent experiences with OSA detection by theme Venn diagram of the convergent and divergent parent experience with OSA diagnosis for their child by race Convergent themes (reflecting those experienced by both Black and White mothers) are presented in the middle overlapping section of the two circles in the diagram Convergent themes without an arrow were less experienced by both groups at comparable rates Convergent themes with an arrow indicate a ≥10% difference in prevalence between Black (arrow pointing left) and White parents (arrow pointing right) Divergent themes (uniquely experienced by one racial group but not the other) are in the non-overlapping portions of the circles Six themes classified as divergent themes unique to Black parents included Misplaced Blame One identified theme that was unique to White parents namely OSA Knowledge—Dying in Ones Sleep with comparable prevalence between Black and White parents and Lack of Knowledge (Cardiovascular Consequences) Two themes that were present among both racial groups were more prominent among Black mothers compared to White mothers 50%) as a facilitator for completing the PSG and Healthcare Provider as Source of Knowledge (63 vs Themes more prevalent in White mothers than in Black mothers included It Takes a Village (Parent; 88 vs 63%); It Takes a Village (Medical Specialist; 63 vs Institutional Delays (Parent-Perceived; 38 vs and Lingering Questions and Concerns (38 vs this is the first qualitative study to examine parental experiences with pediatric OSA detection by race Racial differences were identified in the path to child OSA diagnosis As all parents in the study had children with Medicaid insurance differences were likely driven primarily by racial factors and not socioeconomic status Negative parent experiences due to bias or interactions with the school system may be an indication of racism and health disparities Misplaced Blame was a divergent theme only reported by Black mothers One Black mother described her perception of being blamed for her child's sleepiness “The school was always—when they brought him home they were always telling me he was sleeping at school You all are saying it like I just don't put him to bed on time or something.” (ID3) “She would fall asleep more than once The lack of OSA awareness among both the teacher and mother may be at play during early stages of the detection process The negative parent-teacher interactions associated with parent blame may feel more pronounced among a minoritized population Providers caring for Black patients should examine their racial consciousness and consider how race may affect their interpersonal relationship While treatment guidelines recommend universal OSA screening (Marcus et al., 2012) in many cases the detection pathway is initiated by parents raising concerns to their child's provider Considering themes related to parental knowledge about OSA both Black and White mothers reported OSA knowledge gaps that may have delayed their child's path to detection Snoring is Normal and Missing the day-night Connection Normalized snoring and not connecting daytime and nighttime symptoms suggest a knowledge gap in Black mothers that could delay OSA detection OSA Knowledge—Dying in One's Sleep was a divergent theme among White mothers indicating a clear lack of understanding of OSA consequences may contribute to higher severity of disease state The experiences of families in our study are consistent with this disparity as Black children were about 2 years older than White children on average at the time of diagnosis This OSA disparity may be due to a combination of lack of awareness and miscommunication by the healthcare system “I just wish the primary care had gotten back with me I'm not certain as to who was supposed to let me know Like the ENT called and told me about the breathing part but she was like that's all we know.” (ID7) Timeliness from detection to diagnosis is of paramount importance given the developmental affect untreated OSA may have on a child's physical health and development there also may have been differences in how mothers interpreted and acted upon observed OSA symptoms A convergent theme more prominent among White mothers was a perception that These themes fall in contrast to each other as one serves as a facilitator to detection Wanting to Know what was wrong with their child as a PSG facilitator Other convergent experiences around Worries were reported among mothers from both racial groups Black mothers were more likely to describe positive experiences about the Benefits of OSA Detection and Treatment,” highlighting the importance of timely detection in Black children Study limitations include the small sample size given that study findings may only extend to the geographic and racial population similar to the sample in this study (e.g. all participants were enrolled in Medicaid measures of socio-economic diversity were limited to insurance type and maternal education the experiences of parents of children older than 12-years-old were not reflected in this study Each parent has a unique experience with OSA detection and diagnosis for their child “She breathes easily and easier now and its more consistent breathing pattern and it made all the difference.” (ID14) A parent's journey to OSA diagnosis and treatment for their child may be taxing Future research should further investigate the impact of race on parental experiences related to pediatric OSA detection and diagnosis promote validation of screening instruments in non-White groups and evaluate strategies to reduce the barriers to diagnosis and optimal treatment among minoritized children OSA detection strategies should be initiated during infancy and early childhood to avoid potential delays in detection Further implications for the field include the need for educational programs in medical schools and other post-graduate health curricula to prevent the under-diagnosis of pediatric OSA minority-specific interventions and public health campaigns targeting high-risk families are needed to bridge the gap in knowledge and cultural behaviors Further research can address these gaps in research and parent awareness and knowledge of OSA symptoms and how they may present themselves in a child of color to ameliorate disparities and support better parent experiences There are both commonalities and differences on the OSA detection pathway for Black and White children and their parents Differences in parent experiences are affected by individual awareness and experience with the school system that reflect bias Parents and other adult figures in a child's life need targeted awareness of OSA and its behavioral and developmental consequences Findings from this study are being applied toward the development of a health communication message to raise parental awareness about the signs and symptoms of OSA structural changes are needed in the healthcare system to improve responsiveness and engagement with high-risk communities to reduce the effect of pediatric OSA disparities The original contributions presented in the study

that included a show written and starring the faculty members’ better halves The choice to title the production Madness at the Medici was “not because [the play] has anything to do with Italy but because the setting is the Medici coffee shop on East 57th Street,” wrote Patricia Moore in a newspaper column titled “Society in Chicago.” In covering the event the Chicago Sun-Times described the Medici as “a favorite campus hangout which serves croissants on Sunday.” and hundreds of thousands of croissants later the Sun-Times’ description has remained fairly accurate The Medici has now moved a few blocks west from its original space at the back of Green Door Bookshop (now B’Gab’s Goodies) almost certainly unavoidable to anyone who spends time on campus or in Hyde Park The graffiti scratched onto every surface of the wooden furniture—a popular tradition that owner Hans Morsbach eventually embraced—still harkens to the “Bohemian coffee house” that the faculty wives perceived the Medici to be in 1962 He couldn’t change the name because he couldn’t afford to In the decades after he purchased the coffee house Morsbach grew the business into the neighborhood joint that the Hyde Park community knows today Morsbach stayed with his job at the plastics company but eventually he left to run the restaurant full-time Morsbach took over the whole space and expanded the coffee house into a restaurant—adding a deep-dish pizza to the menu Some of the books left over from the Green Door’s glory days remain in the Morsbach house to this day he opened six Medici locations in the Chicagoland area with restaurants as far north as Evanston and as far south as Normal as well as one just a few blocks north at Harper Court two locations of the Medici remain: the ones on 57th Street and in Normal Morsbach moved the original restaurant westward on East 57th Street to its current location Morsbach intentionally replicated the design of its predecessor The Morsbachs even kept the wooden booths in their backyard in between the moves “We didn’t want to get rid of the furniture because we wanted [the new location] to have the same feeling with the table carving and all of that,” Kathy Morsbach recalled Because the old look was so well-preserved noted that some older customers will still ask her if she is sure they moved locations at all which Hyde Parkers and UChicago students shorten to “the Med,” has served everyone from Barack Obama to Tanya Sullivan a beloved crossing guard who has watched over the children in Hyde Park for the past 17 years ]the last three of which she has spent stationed at Ray Elementary School—right across from the Med Sullivan said that she likes to reunite with former students at the Med She recently caught up with one student whom she first met fourteen years ago and she showed me all her pictures,” Sullivan recalled “[She’s] growing up—the time went so quick.” Sullivan said she usually enjoys a hot chocolate and muffin in the morning “But now I’m on a diet,” she chuckled The relationship that many Hyde Parkers have with the establishment is not just one-way: In addition to working in the neighborhood many of the Med’s staff and management live and raise children in Hyde Park Her husband went to the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools; her two kids went to Ray Elementary and now to The Ancona School on 47th Street and Dorchester Avenue Her history with Hyde Park spans two decades: After graduating from college with a chemistry degree Esterly moved to Chicago and was hired to work as the general manager of the Medici at Harper Court The two eventually became business partners for another business venture When the general manager at the Medici on 57th left Esterly took over as general manager of the Med as well The changes in Hyde Park have also affected the Medici community: When the University raised rent on the building that housed University Market in 2009 Esterly and Morsbach decided to close the shop “The neighborhood has really grown,” Esterly noted “[But] my goal for the restaurant is to stay true to what the Medici has always been.” Esterly’s goal seems to reflect the community it serves: “Hyde Parkers are resistant to change,” waiter Michael Kennedy said with a chuckle he has collected his fair share of stories He recalled the senator ordering a bacon cheeseburger and green tea with honey and lemon—“because his throat was hurting.” He noted that Representative Bobby Rush and State Representative Barbara Flynn Currie were also frequenters of the Med I missed the day [ER actor] Anthony Edwards was in the bakery,” Kennedy quipped the Medici thrives on the traditions it has collected have gone from being a Sunday specialty to the bakery’s daily bread Gamero sits in her usual corner of the Med kitchen cutting out triangles of croissant dough Her chair might as well be her throne: Having worked at the Med for 30 years she currently is the head baker and oversees five bakers every morning Her eponymous apple pie has won the stomachs and hearts of regulars and visitors alike When she first started working at the Med in 1986 the restaurant was still at its previous location the backdrop for the Faculty Wives show 24 years before She started off making pies and cakes for the restaurant though they were only available on the weekends back then as the restaurant moved to its current location and eventually opened its bakery wing in 2001 and pies every day of the week—meaning Gamero has also been waking up before the sun for years she walks from her Hyde Park apartment over to the bakery to start preparations for the day “I used to come exactly at 4 o’clock or 3 o’clock,” she said as she cleaned out the industrial mixer “But it all depends on how much work we have to produce.” Gamero’s secret to tolerating such early mornings is not coffee “My philosophy is you have to do something that you love nothing is good,” she said as she lined up apple slices for a batch of turnovers the bakers were preparing pastries for the weekend With UChicago homecoming festivities drawing families and alumni to Hyde Park An inventory clipboard indicates that they plan to churn out 1,291 items that morning the bakery was already in full swing: Multigrain loaves and rolls all made their way into a 500-degree industrial oven Most of the items are displayed at the storefront and sold by the end of the day Others get delivered to local establishments like Hyde Park Produce Any leftovers are either made into breadcrumbs and croutons or they’re donated to local shelters or staff members’ church communities Mario Silva stands in front of the oven dusting browned flour from the countertop he pushes trays of dough into the heat and draws out golden brown loaves He has worked in the bakery since it opened 14 years ago cooking in the kitchen and bussing tables for nine years which makes this his 23rd year at the Medici “I wanted to learn; so I moved over to the bakery,” Silva said The bakers spend every morning finishing up loose ends and preparing for the next morning of baking while Hyde Parkers and University affiliates alike gather at their neighborhood watering hole “It’s good food at a reasonable price,” Kathy Morsbach said “Some people think the food has gotten too expensive but the menu has pretty much stayed the same.” Four-year-old Tessa Holmquist-Kuhn has lived in Hyde Park with her family for almost two years in the words of her mother Sabrina Holmquist and the chocolate croissant,” she listed but I come here quite a lot,” she said She fondly recalled carving her name in one of the tables “It’s fun to see your name there,” Hamlish said Fourth-year Catherine Cove has also left her mark on the restaurant She has been coming to the Med “since prospie weekend,” when her family friend suggested visiting the Hyde Park staple so I’d rather not say,” she said with a laugh The tables and benches in the Med now bear the names of over 50 years of Hyde Park residents and sojourners all part of a tradition that Morsbach kept alive He thought [the table carving] was kind of cool leaving his legacy in the establishments that outlived him [Hans] was a guy so unique that he created a hole that nothing else would ever fill,” Kathy Morsbach said but it’s Esterly who is at the forefront of day to day business Hyde Park continues to shed old layers and grow new ones With the recent opening of the new Harper Court memories of the old Med location fade further into memory in the space that housed Edwardo’s Natural Pizza for 36 years But 1327 East 57th Street has stayed the same that’s always there in my mind: Making sure I’m carrying on the Medici tradition in a way that he [Hans] would have wanted,” Esterly said “I think he would be pleased with what we have done and how it’s carrying on.” Medici on 57th employees pose with a statue of a bishop Welcome to motorship.com.

She was excited to be cast as a woman — Marian Paroo — in this year's production Paroo is a librarian who almost immediately detects Hill's duplicity but becomes increasingly smitten with him kind of lovey-dovey side of her when she's singing her big songs," Aguero said Another reason Paroo doesn't report Hill to the authorities is because the band has given her shy brother the younger Paroo is supposed to represent Willson's perspective as a little boy "The show for me really comes from his eyes," the director said has managed to gain some significant acting experience during a short period of time Daly first cast him as Tiny Tim in the organization's "A Christmas Carol" production in 2015 Hoffman enjoyed performing for a different audience "I loved putting on shows for my family," he said Now his professional colleagues get to appreciate and provide feedback on his work Aguero stressed that this mentorship has been a reciprocal process: While young actors like Hoffman have undoubtedly benefited from their elder peers' instruction the more experienced ones learn from their younger colleagues "You have these wonderful 10-year-olds running around who are inspiring you and giving you life so it's just a wonderful environment to be around I'm the happiest here that I've ever been," she said Hill eventually finds himself having similar feelings about River City BTG's recruitment of actors who hail from different parts of the country means the show's influence will stretch beyond the Berkshires "It's affecting a lot of lives all over this country," she said the audience in Pittsfield will be the judges of this year's show the play's ability to move young people to become more involved in theater will define its success "My hope is that at least one kid who sees one of these 37 performances really gets inspired and says This inventive yet uneven take on "The Crucible" blends devised theater historical satire and heartfelt performance the Berkshires hosts a variety of art exhibitions photography and installations that explore contemporary themes of nature Wendel Patrick celebrates 10 years of Out of the Blocks with a May 2 performance at the MOSAIC EventSpace honoring Baltimore’s voices through music and storytelling This provocative group exhibition challenges viewers with works that explore the aesthetics of disgust "Polishing Shakespeare" dazzles with verse but falters under its own pretension and wears thin early on TheaterWorks Hartford presents an emotionally resonant revival of Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play ‘Primary Trust.’ Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device Link IconCopy linkFacebook LogoShare on FacebookXShare on XEmailShare via EmailLink copied to clipboardA Fergusson die 9 days apart: a 70-year love story"Carter" and "Dudy," as they were called Their love was nurtured by the hour they spent each day They met at the Riverton Country Club in Cinnaminson on Sept known as "Dudy," were meant for each other The marriage was nurtured by the hour they spent alone each day they died nine days apart at Beaumont at Bryn Mawr — he on Saturday 'You couldn't say one name without mentioning the other,'" their daughter said He graduated from the Haverford School in 1942 and went on to earn 10 varsity letters in a variety of sports He was inducted into the school's Hall of Fame as an individual athlete in 2009 Fergusson was a 1945 graduate of Yale University he led the team to two national championships He was inducted into the College Squash Association Hall of Fame in 1994 Squash recognized his prowess in the sport by renaming an important award in his honor Carter Fergusson Grand Master Honor Roll "will recognize his tremendous legacy," the website announced a Philadelphia manufacturer of industrial chemicals He was a member of the Jesters racket sports club for 64 years Following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather He gave money to ensure the completion in 2007 of a monument along the Delaware River waterfront to commemorate the contribution of Scots to the building of America Fergusson joined the governing board of the Friends of Independence National Historical Park "If you told him where you were from," he could tell you the fine details of that place After attending what is now the University of the Arts she returned to George School from 1947 to 1949 as an assistant in the fine arts department Fergusson was a member of the Junior League of Philadelphia from 1951 until 2008 She was a 22-year member of the Acorn Club of Philadelphia and expressed that talent in home decorating and flower arranging and in the way she liked to weave colorful descriptions into lively stories The Fergussons were longtime supporters of the Philadelphia Museum of Art They joined the Associates Program in 1984 and made gifts to bolster exhibitions and values which they exemplified by their actions," their daughter said the Fergussons are survived by daughters Margie Foraker and Laurie Plumb;

Sign up to be a Frontier member winery and restaurant and remains the largest of Myanmar’s two producers of Western style wine Myanmar-made wine is still eclipsed by imports which account for more than half of the million bottles of wine consumed in the country each year That’s a massive increase from a decade ago but is still only the equivalent of half a glass of wine per person each year Myanmar 1st Vineyard Estate partner Hans-Eduard Leiendecke Myanmar’s relatively new winemakers are out to shed their tourist-wine reputation Mr Morsbach wants to see the domestic wine industry double in the next few years creating a market for higher quality products and putting Myanmar-made reds It would be a feat that flies in the face of wine history “It is no accident that Myanmar has not had wine in the thousands of years humans have been making it,” Mr Morsbach said Grapes do not grow well in Southeast Asia because most wine-making varieties cannot produce fruit in the region’s relatively short days and hot Winemakers have only been able to grow wine-making varieties in highland areas such as the Shan Hills which have cool nights and limestone-based soils and only by using modern agricultural techniques The result of their persistence has been a new product category the so-called New Latitude Wines cultivated in tropical climates “This is totally new,” said Hans-Eduard Leiendecke a Myanmar 1st Vineyard Estate partner and its resident viticulturist Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc vines “This is a challenge for me to do pioneer work.” Mr Leiendecke grew up at his family’s winery in Germany He joined Myanmar 1st after answering a positions vacant ad in a German wine magazine for a viticulturalist and has spent the last nine years working with Mr Morsbach –to establish a domestic wine industry almost from scratch There is a modest table grape industry in central Myanmar but Mr Morsbach and later Mr Leiendecke had to learn to grow the delicate complex grapes suitable for wine the hard way They experimented with different grapes and parasite-resistant rootstock and sponged each plant with a hormone naturally produced in Europe’s frosty nights Some varieties would not produce fruit because there was not enough sunlight in a region drenched with four months of rain Sometimes a lesson cost an entire harvest to learn Myanmar 1st sources some grapes from contract farmers each of whom needs to be trained and provided with rootstock Mr Morsbach and Mr Leiendecke created an entire Myanmar language encyclopedia for fungus we don’t have the grapes and we are not successful,” Mr Morsbach said Although the finished products of this new winemaking ecosystem are not particularly varied they have established a strong presence in the domestic market Aythaya wines are on sale at about 400 outlets throughout the country including in about 80 percent of the higher-end hotels Red Mountain sells about 120,000 bottles a year and Myanmar 1st Vineyard Estate about 200,000 plus 50,000 more imported in bulk from Monte Vino in South Africa if it’s something that’s a little more expensive that’s OK but give us something that shows Myanmar at its best,” said Jane Brooks a partner of Sharky’s restaurants and artisanal food stores in Yangon who oversees a growing list of fine wines from France Sharky’s founder U Ye Htut Win spent 20 years in the restaurant industry in Geneva and then made a name for himself in Myanmar marketing top-quality products made from local ingredients Mr Morsbach said U Ye Htut Win was optimistic about Myanmar’s place in the wine spotlight when the country’s wineries began bottling their first vintages but Myanmar wines remain absent from the Sharky’s menu I don’t mean in the age of the people And I think it takes a while to get consistency,” Ms Brooks said “And we can offer better value for the same quality with some of the other wines we have.” Ms Brooks isn’t interested in Myanmar products simply because they were made in Myanmar She wants local products that are good in their own right Myanmar wines are drinkable and approachable for tourists and locals but not of a high enough standard for a sommelier’s wine list but simply an inevitable phase of an adolescent industry In an field dominated by centuries-old winemakers Myanmar’s has started off comparatively well “I’m sure it will have a place on Sharky’s list,” she said “I respect Bert and Hans and the Red Mountain people because they’re the experts There are other hot country regions that have similar challenges and produce good wine Mr Leiendecke admits that Myanmar 1st could be producing finer products if there was more demand “Many Myanmar people cannot discern the difference and don’t want to pay the higher price,” he said “Premium products are just not affordable for the people High-end products may soon find a place in Myanmar but the country first needs a wine culture director of Yangon-based distributor Myanmar Fine Wines When it comes to the Myanmar wine on the market Myanmar Fine Wines became one of Myanmar’s first licensed wine importers after the government allowed wine imports in May has spent the last two years trying to establish a wine culture “The people who come to my shop know what they want,” he said Myanmar who appreciate wine are usually affluent and have lived abroad and been exposed to Western lifestyles but often have their favourite varieties and suppliers cannot afford to experiment with anything else Mr Ong has spent the last two years trying to foster a wine culture in Myanmar he believes Myanmar’s own robust wine culture will develop The domestic wine industry will shed its tourists-only reputation as Myanmar’s emerging bon vivants begin to taste and explore Tourists are an important source of income for both Red Mountain Estate and Myanmar 1st Vineyard Estate which attract a steady stream of day-tripping visitors from nearby Inle Lake Both vineyards have restaurants and for those with more time to enjoy the Shan Hills Tourist wine tastings and a showroom are essential it would be very difficult to survive,” he said adding that Myanmar 1st would soon open another winery near Meiktila These attractions are quickly becoming the foundation of an emerging wine culture The tours and tastings are for many their first taste of what he hopes will become part of everyday living in Myanmar The idea is not just to make and sell wine but to bring people together and give them a chance to like and appreciate it “Most people in Southeast Asia don’t know what wine
