Thursday, July 01, 2004 - Page updated at 12:00 A.M.
Society Expeditions, a Seattle company that specializes in high-end cruises to remote and often dangerous places, has filed for Chapter 7 liquidation bankruptcy following creditors' seizure of its only ship two weeks ago in Alaska.
The move likely spells the end for a 30-year-old company that helped to pioneer the adventure travel industry and boasted such feats as offering the first crossing of the fabled Northwest Passage by a cruise ship.
No one from Society Expeditions returned calls yesterday, and a lawyer representing the company declined to comment. A posting on Society's Web site blamed the company's financial troubles on poor bookings for its spring and summer excursions.
The company's preliminary bankruptcy filing put its debts at $500,000 to $1 million, against less than $50,000 in assets. Society estimated it has between 200 and 999 creditors.
The 160-passenger World Discoverer was seized June 18 in Nome while preparing for another cruise. The ship had a crew of 100. Passengers arriving for the cruise — which typically ran two weeks and cost $6,000 to $7,000 — were sent home.
The market for high-end cruises has been strong and seems to be picking up steam, based on 2005 bookings, said Tim Jacox, vice president of American Safari Cruises in Lynnwood. But he said Society faced tough challenges.
"The way they phrased it, they were seeing some good sales success for 2005, but they didn't have a strong enough 2004 to get them over the hump," Jacox said.
Founded in 1974, Society's cruising grounds ranged from the Antarctic Islands to Siberia and from Cape Horn to the Middle East. It offered lecturers from archeologists, collected data about whale migration and catered to passengers with a taste for luxury.
"If you wanted to go to Antarctica with white table clothes and white gloves, that was the way to go," said Bruce Fisher, director of Hibernia Nordic Cruise Line, which is involved in a financial dispute with Society.
The past few years were rocky for Society, which lost a ship and then faced an involuntary bankruptcy petition in Seattle. Its troubles started in 2000, when its previous ship, also called World Discoverer, struck an uncharted coral reef near the Solomon Islands. The ship was lost after the captain ran it ashore to evacuate passengers.
The company survived two years before launching its new World Discoverer in 2002 — a recently refurbished "ice-class" ship capable of sailing in extreme environments. But the company soon ran into financial straits.
In an attempt to take over the company, Fisher said he filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Society last year after another creditor, The Bank of Scotland, briefly seized the World Discoverer.
Fisher said his company owns a 50 percent stake in Society for arranging financing for the new ship, a claim Society disputed. The case was dismissed in November after Fisher failed to post a $500,000 bond.
Society is a subsidiary of Society Explorer International, based in Bermuda. The company runs another subsidiary in Germany.
Fisher said he has not given up on gaining control of Society. "We are definitely going to pursue it and we will pursue it internationally if we have to," he said. "We don't anticipate there will be a whole lot left in America."

MLB proposes three-batter minimum; MLBPA proposes NL DH in 2019
By Bill BaerFeb 5, 2019, 10:24 PM EDT
Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have sent proposals to each other focusing on ways to improve the game, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. MLB's biggest suggestion would create a three-batter minimum for pitchers in an effort to reduce the amount of pitching changes made by managers, oftentimes grinding the game to a halt — particularly if it's a mid-inning substitution.
Among the union's suggestions is a universal designated hitter beginning this year. According to Rosenthal, citing commissioner Rob Manfred, the union has been trying to get the DH in the National League for more than three decades. The American League adopted the DH rule in 1973.
The union also suggested lowering a team's draft position if it fails to reach a certain number of wins across multiple seasons. That would address the issue of tanking which has plagued baseball for close to a decade.
Per Rosenthal, if the union and MLB don't reach an agreement, Manfred still has the power to unilaterally implement three rules changes he proposed last year: a 20-second pitch clock, reducing mound visits from six to five, and placing a runner on second base to start extra innings beyond the 10th inning in spring training games and the All-Star Game. In the current proposal MLB sent to the MLBPA, the league seeks to reduce mound visits from six to four in 2019 and then down to three in 2020. The league also seeks, for the 2020 season, to expand to a 26-man roster while reducing expanded rosters in September from 40 to 28.
These ideas are certainly interesting, to say the least. I'm not sure I buy any of them as they are presented. Implementing a universal DH rule with less than two months before the start of the regular season seems unfair to NL teams that don't have the right roster construction and wouldn't have enough time to properly address it. That being said, a universal DH would help boost offense, which has been lagging for most of this decade.
Creating a three-batter minimum would reduce scenarios like the one Rosenthal mentions in his article — Brewers manager Craig Counsell using lefty Wade Miley for one batter before replacing him with right-hander Brandon Woodruff in Game 5 of the NLDS against the Dodgers — but it would limit managerial strategy, which is one of the aspects of baseball that, at least in this writer's humble opinion, make it interesting. Perhaps a better alternative would be to create a discrete limit on the amount of pitchers a team can carry on its active roster. If we make that number, say, 12 on a 26-man roster, then teams still have the flexibility to make their pitching changes when they want to, but they would have to consider a faster depletion of resources.
Speaking of the 26-man rosters: great idea. One more active roster spot creates at minimum 30 more major league jobs across the league, which is terrific in and of itself. The added space may make teams more willing to sign less-versatile players, as we've seen a dearth of interest in power-hitting first-base types in recent years in favor of more versatile, defensively-capable players.
Shrinking the September rosters from 40 to 28 would hurt prospects and so-called "AAAA" players — players who aren't quite good enough to make a regular 25-man roster, but are more than good enough to handle Triple-A competition. September call-ups accrue service time just like any other player and since there would be 360 fewer spots available, at least 360 players would have slower progress towards arbitration and free agency. On the other hand, September is a critical month of the season for obvious reasons, and it is often marred when teams that are dead in the water don't try to win since they have the opportunity to give their younger, less experienced players major league at-bats and innings. Teams in the hunt for a playoff spot that just happened to get lucky and play fourth- and fifth-place teams in September get what are essentially free wins against these teams. Teams that aren't so lucky may miss out on a playoff spot through no fault of their own.
The best idea of the bunch is the penalty for teams failing to hit a certain win threshold over multiple seasons. It is unclear if the suggestion is that a team must hit at least X wins once in a span of Y years, or an aggregate total of Z wins over Y years. Either way, incentivizing teams to be at least somewhat competitive is a good thing. It will reduce teams shamelessly tanking and it very likely would also prevent teams from shamelessly manipulating the service time of their top prospects. Ah, who are we kidding? Teams are going to game players' service time until there's an explicit rule changing it.

The Preferred Stock Puzzle
This content is from: Portfolio
Banks that had big losses and were bailed out should, in theory, have suspended preferred-stock dividends. They didn't, creating a value play — and confounding notions of capital structure.
By Eric Uhlfelder
Combining Tech and Talent to Solve Allocators' Portfolio Management Challenges
Most observers expected big banks that survived the credit crisis to reflexively suspend preferred stock dividends to husband cash. Instead, virtually all banks — domestic and foreign — continued to pay dividends on their U.S.-traded preferreds.
"I surmise that banks kept on paying because to do otherwise would have been a confidence killer, and in today's market environment, they simply couldn't afford not to pay," says Brian Gonick, a principal of Senvest International, a New York hedge fund.
The continued payments imply that "preferred stocks may offer greater returns with less dividend suspension risk than we had thought, especially given the severity of the crisis," explains Barry McAlinden, a preferred securities analyst at UBS Wealth Management Research. "The results have been common equity–like returns from large-cap investment-grade bank preferreds."
In fact, bank preferred stocks haven't been behaving at all normally, considering their place in these institutions' capital structure. "For the first time since the 1980s, when preferreds started to become a major source of bank capital financing, these shares got pummeled indiscriminately" in the financial crisis, observes Daniel Campbell, the former head of hybrid securities at both Merrill Lynch & Co. and Deutsche Bank. Although preferred shares are considered income securities whose prices move in response to interest rates, credit issues and yield spreads, many bank preferreds ended up tracking common shares, Campbell says, as fear of insolvency, reorganization or nationalization slashed their values to unprecedented lows.
For example, Deutsche Bank saw one of its $25-par trust preferreds, which are backed by subordinated debt and pay a coupon of 6.375 percent, collapse from $20 in mid-2008 to below $5 in early March 2009 — producing a yield at the time of nearly 32 percent. Investors who didn't buy the end-of-the-world scenario could have made out like bandits: On January 14 these shares closed at $23.63.
Although such extreme opportunities are gone, there is still significant dislocation in the preferred market, making it one of the most attractive places to invest, according to William Scapell, head of fixed income at New York–based mutual and hedge fund firm Cohen & Steers. Until recently, he notes, preferreds were typically rated two notches below senior unsecured debt, reflecting their place in the corporate capital hierarchy. "Today," says Scapell, "we are seeing much greater rating gaps, and that is putting further pressure on preferred prices." For example, whereas Citi's senior debt is rated A, its hybrid preferreds are rated eight notches lower, at B plus.
This differential is making for generous yield spreads on bank preferreds. In late December the BofA Merrill Lynch Core Fixed Rate Preferred Securities index of investment-grade securities was 400 basis points above ten-year Treasuries. Scapell acknowledges that investors view bank preferreds as risky and also anticipate rising Treasury yields. But, he says, he doesn't foresee "a second wave to hit banks because the toughest news is already behind us."
Perhaps the most intriguing opportunity in preferreds revolves around corporate actions: tendering cash, common stock or fresh preferred shares for existing preferreds or even warning of a dividend suspension. In February 2009, Citigroup said it was suspending dividends on certain perpetual preferreds. But investors were offered the chance to exchange each of these shares for 7.3 shares of common.
At about this time investors realized the government was committed to seeing Citi through the crisis without nationalizing it, which helped propel the bank's common shares from less than a buck to $5. Thus those who converted and held the common for a month saw their investments peak at an equivalent of more than $36 per share. Before the conversion was announced, affected preferreds were trading below $5.
Even after this recent run-up, Senvest's Gonick believes that preferreds whose dividends are threatened with suspension are attractive plays and likens them to zero-coupon bonds. If the dividends are reinstated in two years, investors could see these shares climb by a third or more. Announcement of an exchange offer could give a similar boost.

IN A NUTSHELL: A battling second half gave Swifts a dramatic victory after they trailed 2-0 at half time to a plucky Basildon side.
KEY ACTION: Swifts dominated possession in the first half but were shocked on 28 minutes when a break saw Zanone beat the offside and go past keeper Chris Haigh before slotting Basildon into the lead. And the visitors doubled their advantage ten minutes later when Rhys Flatt intercepted a poor square pass from to race away and slot home. Swifts boss Julian Dicks had some harsh words for his side at half time and brought on Harrison Chatting for Dan Walker. And the hosts got a lifeline just after the hour mark when Krasniqi was tripped for a penalty. Basildon defender Hodgson was shown a red card for his protests against the decision. Swifts centre back Luke Wilson stepped up to crash the spot kick home emphatically. Dicks then brought on striker Price for midfielder Elliott Ronto and were soon level, this time from a Price penalty after a cross was handled. And Heybridge completed the turnaround with four minutes to go when Krasniqi (pictured celebrating his winner by Alan Edmonds) smashed home a winner at the near post after a clever lay off by Price.
SWIFTS STAR MAN: Chris Millar. A solid display in an important win.

Airlines Call for Immediate Gov't Support amid Growing Virus Impact
Posted on April 3, 2020 by Korea Bizwire in Business, Industries, Services and Others with 0 Comments
South Korea's nine airlines have suspended most of their flights on international routes as more than 180 countries and territories imposed entry restrictions against passengers from South Korea. (Yonhap)
SEOUL, April 3 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean airlines pressed the government Friday to take immediate action to help the financially troubled airline industry stay afloat amid the growing coronavirus impact.
The Korea Civil Aviation Association (KCA) asked the government to offer massive low-rate loans, payment guarantees for airlines' corporate bonds and steep tax cuts to airlines as the airlines' self-rescue measures won't be of a big help in the unprecedented crisis.
"The airline industry is collapsing, with 840,000 jobs in airlines, tourism and other related businesses at risk," the association said in a letter sent to the transport ministry, finance ministry and the financial authorities.
The association, which speaks for the airline industry, warned that the airlines could go bankrupt if the COVID-19 pandemic prolongs, though many airline employees are taking turns staying home without pay or at reduced pay, with executives returning some of their wages.
South Korea's nine airlines have suspended most of their flights on international routes as more than 180 countries and territories imposed entry restrictions against passengers from South Korea.
They are two full-service carriers — Korean Air Lines Co., Asiana Airlines Inc. — and seven low-cost carriers — Jeju Air Co., Jin Air Co., Air Busan Co., Air Seoul Inc., Eastar Jet, T'way Air Co. and Fly Gangwon.
The association said a whopping 900 billion won (US$730 million) worth of fixed costs are piling up on a daily basis for airlines, and they face 5.3 trillion won worth of debts maturing by December.

Sydney-based consultancy CAPA Centre for Aviation said in its latest outlook that most global airlines will go belly up at the end of May without their governments' financial support.
"The airline industry is a backbone industry essential for the country's security and economy, taking responsibility for 30 percent of the country's exports in terms of value. That's why it should be protected from an impact of the coronavirus," KCA said.
Once again asking for the government's swift action to help local airlines, the association cited global governments' decisions to help their airlines.
The United States and France recently decided to extend 74 trillion won and 60.5 trillion won, respectively, in financial support.
The government has said large conglomerates need to raise funds in the markets first, while utilizing their cash reserves and available assets to ride out this virus crisis.
Last month, the government unveiled an emergency relief package worth 100 trillion won to help smaller companies hit hard by the virus and stabilize financial markets.
The Financial Services Commission said Friday it is closely monitoring the airline industry and is in consultations with the transport ministry over necessary steps.
Last month, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) sent a letter to President Moon Jae-in to ask Seoul to urgently extend direct financial support, loan guarantees by the government, support for corporate bond issuance and tax relief.
"The COVID-19 pandemic is challenging the viability of the global air transport system as never before in history," IATA said in the letter, noting the current industry crisis is much worse and more widespread than the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S., severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or the 2008 global financial crisis.
IATA estimated the Korean air transport industry's contribution to the economy reaches US$47.6 billion, supporting 838,000 jobs and contributing 3.4 percent of the gross domestic product in Asia's fourth-biggest economy.
COVID-19 could result in a 22 percent drop in passenger volume and a $4.4 billion loss in passenger base revenue for the Korean air transport market this year.
It could also lead to the loss of about 160,000 jobs and $9 billion in GDP, IATA said.

Q: Pseudoforce and friction: confusion Consider the following situation. A block of mass $M$ is resting on a rough horizontal ground, and a frame is moving towards the right horizontally with an acceleration $a$. Suppose the coefficient of static friction on the ground on which the block is standing is $ \mu > a/g$.
Clearly the block is moving towards the left w.r.t. the frame with acceleration $a$. Suppose we try to explain this from the non-inertial frame. Then we add a pseudoforce $Ma$, towards the left, on the block. But observe that $Ma < \mu Mg$ as $\mu g > a$. So the block shouldn't move, due to static friction.
How is this possible?

A: The block is accelerating, but that's due to the pseudo force, not the frictional force, which is zero.

You can't just look at the horizontal forces on the block to determine whether or not static friction will hold. You have to consider what's going on with the other surface as well.
Here's a simpler situation to consider first in an inertial frame. Imagine two identical blocks stacked on top of each other. There is friction between the two blocks, but there is no friction between the lower block & the horizontal surface. Now push on the upper block while holding the lower block in place. It will slide if $F_\text{applied} > \mu M g$, as you describe. But if you instead push on each block with identical forces, they will move together and there will be no frictional force (because alone they would have identical motions). Here, the top block is accelerating even though the frictional force is zero; it's the applied force that's causing it to accelerate.
Same thing with your situation. The block and surface alone would have the same motion as each other in the non-inertial frame, so there will be no frictional force. Yes, the block is accelerating, but that's due to the pseudo force, not the frictional force, which is zero.

Последний вздох корабля — памятник в центре города Палдиски, знаменитого скульптора Амандуса Адамсона (автор копии эстонский скульптор Рене Рейнумяэ).

В 2013 году был демонтирован из-за неудачного местоположения. Тем не менее, власти города пообещали установить памятник в другом месте.

История
По опросу горожан был выбран для установки в Палдиски — месте рождения скульптора. Мысль об установке в Палдиски одной из скульптур скульптора Амандуса Адамсона появилась в 2006 году.

В 2013 году памятник был демонтирован. По официальным заявлениям сделано это было в связи с тем, что статуя была плохо закреплена и вообще располагалась в не совсем удачном месте: памятник подвергался разрушению из-за погодных условий и, кроме того, находился недалеко от детской площадки.

Описание
Аллегорическое наиболее известное произведение скульптора Амандуса Адамсона «Последний вздох корабля» (вылеплен в 1899 г., авторское повторение в мраморе в 1926 г.). Представляет из себя прекрасный образ женщины — гимн природе, человеку, красоте, мечте, надежде. Но ведь не вечны и жизнь корабля, и человеческая жизнь: обвис парус, сломаны мачта и борт. Последней гибнет надежда, морская вода уже касается её тела. Единство человеческой судьбы и моря заставляет зрителя остановиться в глубоком и печальном раздумье.

Bayliss keen to learn from Bangladesh
England coach Trevor Bayliss wants to take the positives out of the tour to Bangladesh as his team prepare for a tough tour of India that includes five Tests.
The English batting was poor throughout the series with Joe Root's average of 24.50 in four innings the highest among batsmen in the top five.
Bayliss told Sky Sports: "I think, from a batting point of view, there's been some good signs during this series.
"We don't come across those types of wickets very often at all, or at all.
"The only thing you can do is experience it more often. There's no quick fix but, as we saw, there were batters in the two tests that were able to bat for a period of time and score runs.
"If they can do it once they've got it in them but it's just about doing it more often and more consistently and learning from those innings."
Gary Ballance finds himself under extreme pressure having made just 24 runs across four innings and with the impressive young Haseeb Hameed waiting in the wings.
Bayliss indicated the team's leadership would discuss the batting lineup in India: "I'm sure that will be one of the things we discuss.
"It was one of the things we discussed before the series started, the different options we have available to us going forward, so that we weren't surprised by anything. There will be a number of players that we will be discussing and what we might think is our best and strongest team."
Should Hameed be included he is likely to open the batting with Alastair Cook and Ben Duckett would slot into the middle-order.

Q: How can I remove an "ALMOST" Duplicate using LINQ? ( OR SQL? ) This should be and easy one for the LINQ gurus out there.
I'm doing a complex Query using UNIONS and CONTAINSTABLE in my database to return ranked results to my application.
I'm getting duplicates in my returned data. This is expected. I'm using CONTAINSTABLE and CONTAINS to get all the results I need. CONTAINSTABLE is ranked by SQL and CONTAINS (which is run only on the Keywords field ) is hard-code-ranked by me. ( Sorry if that doesn't make sense )
Anyway, because the tuples aren't identical ( their rank is different ) a duplicate is returned.
I figure the best way to deal with this is use LINQ.
I know I'll be using the Distinct() extension method, but do I have to implement the IEqualityComparer interface? I'm a little fuzzy on how to do this.
For argument's sake, say my resultset is structured like this class:
class Content {
  ContentID int //KEY
  Rank int
  Description String
}

If I have a List<Content> how would I write the Distinct() method to exclude Rank? Ideally I'd like to keep the Content's highest Rank. SO, if one Content's RAnk is 112 and the other is 76. I'd like to keep the 112 rank.
Hopefully I've given enough information.
EDIT
Here's a sample of the SQL for anyone who has an Idea on how to do this in SQL:
UNION ALL
SELECT
    p.ProductID     AS ContentID
  , p.ProductName   AS Title
  , K.RANK          AS Rank
  , 'Product'       AS ContentType
  , p.AddedDateTime

FROM Products AS p
 INNER JOIN CONTAINSTABLE(NaturalFactorsPIM.dbo.Products,*, @SearchPred, @TopN) AS K ON K.[KEY] = P.ProductID
WHERE @IncludeProducts = 1
  AND p.ProductStatus = 1

UNION ALL
SELECT
   p.ProductID    AS ContentID
 , p.ProductName  AS Title
 , 80             AS Rank
 , 'Product'      AS ContentType
 , p.AddedDateTime

FROM Products AS p
WHERE FREETEXT( p.ProductKeywords, @SearchPred)
  AND @IncludeProducts = 1
  AND p.ProductStatus = 1

ORDER BY Rank DESC

A: This should do what you want:
Var List<Content> AllTheData = GetTheDataForThisExample()
Var DistinctDataWithMaxRank = From C in AllTheData
    Group C by C.ContentID, C.Description
         Into G
    Select New { ContentID = g.ContentID
                 Rank = (From rmax in g select rmax.rank).Max()
                 Description = g.Description
               };

But, if I understand you correctly, this would be very easy in SQL:
Select ContentID, Max(Rank) As Rank, Description
From (Select * From ComplicatedFullTextSearchQuery()) As Q
Group By ContentID, Description

I arranged this sql like your main query was a UDF; whatever your original query is, put it in the () on the second line.  If performance matters, have a procedure/function put your original query into a temporary table, an then just do:
Select ContentID, Max(Rank) As Rank, Description
From TempTable    Group By ContentID, Description

A: Group By ContentID, then OrderBy Rank and select the First item from each resulting group:
var result = myContent.GroupBy( c => c.ContentID,
                                g => g.OrderBy( x => x.Rank ).First() );

Using query comprehension syntax:
var result = from c in myContent
             group c by c.ContentID into g
             select g.First() order by g.Rank;


I merely know Schiap by hearsay. I have only seen her in a mirror. She is, for me, some kind of fifth dimension.
She is unpredictable but, in reality, disarmingly simple. She is profoundly lazy but works furiously and rapidly. Her laughter and tears collide; on a job of work she is fun, soaring from despair to heavenly delight. She is generous and mean, for there are occasions when she would rather give away half her possessions than the handkerchief in her hand-bag.
Intensely human, she both despises and loves human beings: those whom she dislikes find themselves looked right through as if they were transparent.
Sorrow and loss she readliy accepts, but she does not know how to deal with happiness.
Her life has been a means to something else – an everlasting question-mark. Truly mystic, she believes in IT, but has not yet found out what IT is.
She is now of concrete age, but in reality has never grown up. Believing tremendously in friendship, she expects too much of her friends: sheer disappointment in their capacity to respond has often made her enemies. Flattery and small talk bore her, and she has never understood how anybody can consider life an achievement in itself.
If she is charming she can also be the most hateful person in the world. She is aware of this but cannot help it.
People believe that she is a good business woman and not, perhaps very tender in love. In fact, she is a very poor business woman, continually taken in – exploited – and few people have been so deeply hurt in their feelings or so cruelly wounded in their pride.
I have seen her in the mirror.

Publication of The Gages of Hengrave and Suffolk Catholicism, 1640-1767
Today my monograph for the Catholic Record Society, The Gages of Hengrave and Suffolk Catholicism, 1649-1767, has been published by Boydell and Brewer. Members of the CRS should receive their copies shortly.
The Gages of Hengrave has been a long time in the making; I began it in the summer of 2009 and the project was accepted for publication by the CRS at the start of 2010, but owing to the CRS's publication schedule it has not appeared until now. However, the long delay has allowed me to correct, revise and tinker with the book in accordance with my own developing understanding of English Catholic history. The Gages of Hengrave is perhaps best described as a collective biography of one Catholic family. It is based primarily on the Hengrave Manuscripts in Cambridge University Library, the most complete collection of the personal papers of any East Anglian recusant family. The Hengrave MSS are a collection begun by Margaret Donnington, the wife of Thomas Kytson the Elder (d. 1540), the builder of Hengrave Hall, and continued by her descendants. Some of the collection is well known, because a number of items were published as early as 1822 by the antiquary John Gage-Rokewode (the owner of Hengrave Hall from 1838) in his History and Antiquities of Hengrave in Suffolk. These include letters from Mary I, Elizabeth I and Sir Phillip Sidney, as well as detailed inventories of the Tudor hall. However, Gage-Rokewode's transcriptions end in the 1640s.
My first encounter with the Hengrave MSS occurred on 1 September 1998 when, as an A Level student spending the summer working as a tour guide at Hengrave Hall (which was then a retreat and conference centre run by a religious community), I decided to take a look at the primary sources for the hall's history. Even on that first encounter I became aware that there was a vast body of manuscripts beyond those edited by Gage-Rokewode, and it occurred to me that a 'second volume' to supplement his History and Antiquities of Hengrave with material after 1640 would be an excellent project. However, the Hengrave MSS disappeared for a few years after the insurance company that owned them required the University Library to buy them, which finally happened in 2005, so this delayed the start of my project of transcribing the key documents.
The reason why 1767 was chosen as the terminus ante quem of the study is that the senior line of the Gage family died out in that year, to be replaced by the Rookwood Gages, who were simultaneously the inheritors of the Gages of Hengrave and the Rookwoods of Stanningfield. Shortly after I began work on The Gages of Hengrave, Joy Rowe made me aware of the existence of extensive documentation on the wider Catholic community in Bury St Edmunds and the Lark Valley, which is reproduced in the appendices: notably the Hengrave Register kept by the Benedictine missionaries from 1731 (now at Downside Abbey) and the Bury Register kept by John Gage SJ from 1755. My analysis of these and other documents adds an additional perspective to the study, making it more than just a family study of the Gages but also a complete history of the Catholic community in Suffolk's Lark Valley during the period in question.
A 'companion volume' to this book, Rookwood Family Papers, 1606-1761 will appear next year, published by the Suffolk Records Society and Boydell and Brewer.

It's 50 years since a certain Mrs Johnson, resident of Harper Valley, USA, marched into her daughter's school and disrupted a meeting of the Parent Teacher Association. In 1968, singer Jeannie C Riley took Tom T Hall's song Harper Valley PTA to the top of the charts, and plunged us into a world made familiar by books, films and songs.
The song immediately creates the atmosphere of a close-knit community in a picket-fence town, with a church or two, a minister, a doctor, a diner, a bar, a milk bar, a high school, right and wrong sides of the tracks, and a cast of people, saints and sinners with quirks and oddities.
Wild Talk
Harper Valley PTA tells a dramatic story. It focuses on Mrs Johnson, a widow bringing up her teenage daughter by herself. She has quite a social life, it seems. She goes out on dates and dresses a little sassy. Well, good for her. But some people in town have their eye on her, namely the worthies who constitute the junior high school's PTA. They decide that Mrs J is not a fit mother, and they feel it is their duty to write her a letter outlining her failings.
These failings are summed up in a line or two, based on gossip and tittle-tattle. She's wearing her dresses 'way too high', and it's reported that she's been 'drinkin' and runnin' round with men and going wild'.' This is enough for them to tell Mrs Johnson they 'don't believe you oughta be a bringin' up your little girl this way'.
Having written the letter, they give it to her daughter to take home. Now considering that the mission of the PTA is to take an active role in supporting children and promoting family and community engagement, you might query every part of this procedure. But Mrs Johnson is right ahead of you.
She puts on her mini-skirt, and, I like to imagine, a pair of cowboy boots, which would give a more satisfying, powerful clunk than the high heels which may have formed part of her wardrobe. She marches right into the meeting room and claims the right to address the PTA. Then she calls them out, one by one, exposing their own behaviour.
Who do we meet? For a start, there's Bobby Taylor and his missus. He's out of town a lot. Seven times, he's asked Mrs Johnson for a date. In his absence, his wife drinks — or, as Mrs J neatly puts it, she 'seems to use a lotta ice, whenever he's away'. How about Mr Baker, whose secretary had to leave town suddenly? And there's another widow, Jones by name, who leaves her window shades open, just enough. Shirley Thompson is sitting there in judgement, with a hint of gin on her breath. Mr Harper couldn't make it. He stayed too long in Kelley's Bar — again.
Home Truths
How dare they say that she is an unfit mother, Mrs Johnson declaims. The town is like a little Peyton Place, and they are a bunch of hypocrites. We know that all this happened, because her daughter, bursting with pride, tells us the story of the day her momma 'socked it to the Harper Valley PTA'.
Mrs Johnson fights fire with fire. She asks how can she be accused of drinking too much and having sexual liaisons by people who are doing the very same things. There is no philosophical discussion about how a woman can be a good mother (whatever that means) and also go out with men and wear mini-skirts, and how many a bad mother (whatever that means) presents a socially acceptable facade.
This story isn't about theories of child-raising and education. It doesn't engage us in speculation about appropriate behaviour. It's all about not letting people get away with hypocrisy. It's an attack on the sanctimonious and the self-righteous. Amen to that.
But there is a sharpness and a tang to the song which makes its images linger, and elicits some fellow feeling for the cast of sorry characters who call down judgement on the town's good-time gal. We see a number of brief vignettes, presented in a filmic or novelistic way, which hint at sadness, frustration, despair.
Bobby Taylor, unhappily married, compulsively cheats on his wife, using excuses to stay away from home. And she sits by herself, drinking into the early hours, wondering if there is anything going on between her husband and that woman who runs around town in her mini-skirts, who he clearly fancies. She wonders what he is doing and who he is with. She fears that someone is sharing his hotel room.
Why did Mr Baker's secretary leave town? We imagine she has gone away to have her baby, the product of their illicit affair, maybe to a city like New York, where she can be anonymous, or perhaps to stay with a relative or friend. There's a story here, one which tickles at our imagination.
We feel we know Kelley's Bar, full of men who don't want to go home, or have no home to go to. What is Mr Harper's story, we wonder? How does he fit into the bar's clientele? He misses the PTA meetings because he can't drag himself away. What else is missing in his life? Perhaps he sometimes sees Shirley Thompson in the bar, she who likes a nip of gin. Maybe she needs a stiffener before attending those meetings.
Another Time, Another Place
Here's something interesting about Mrs Jones the widow — Tom T Hall, the writer of Harper Valley PTA and other songs which stand proudly in the canon of story-telling country music, penned another one actually called Widow Jones (which was also recorded by Jeannie C Riley). The characters in the two songs might be one and the same. In Widow Jones, the eponymous persona makes a major contribution to the 'education' of the young boys in town. Is this what is glimpsed through the crack in the window blinds? Or maybe they are open as a signal...
The reference to Harper Valley being 'a little Peyton Place' also reverberates. Peyton Place was a sensational best-selling novel by Grace Metalious, published in 1956. It was turned into a popular TV series which ran from 1964 to 1969. However, although the song was written during the latter period, the vibe of Harper Valley PTA resonates strongly with the atmosphere and style of the novel (as well as echoing the vibe of the early Mad Men episodes).
Tom T Hall, who was dubbed The Storyteller, has said that the song is his novel and was inspired by his admiration for Sinclair Lewis, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1930. Tom's understated, pared-down treatment of the devastating effects of vicious gossip, the shredding of reputations and the sense of male power and hierarchy in small towns and elsewhere shows a novelist's craft and sensibility.
The PTA might have considered that young Missy Johnson was not getting a good upbringing, but what an education she received that day. She learnt not to crumble under criticism, and that you can speak up and defend yourself when you are wrongly accused. She learnt that women are often subjected to double standards, but that they can challenge such judgements and attitudes.
She might also have become aware of the dangers of casting the first stone, and of the need for understanding and compassion when we consider other people's behaviour and our own fallings from grace.
