George Field (1877-1925) was an American actor and director of silent films. From 1913 till 1916, he worked for Flying A in Santa Barbara. Field starred in 207 films until 1924.
George Field was born George Blankman Field in 1877 in San Francisco, California. His parents were George Durgin Field and Elizabeth Blankman. He began as a stage actor on the West Coast. Around 1912 he became a silent screen actor. He starred for the Nestor company in such short silent Westerns as Young Wild West's Mexican Mix-Up (Al Christie, 1912) and Young Wild West Cornered by Apaches (Al Christie, 1912). From 1913 till 1916, he worked for Flying A in such short Westerns as The Fugitive (Wallace Reid, 1913) and The Cowboy Heir (N.N., 1913) and dramas like The Hermit (Tom Ricketts, 1914) opposite Edward Coxen and Winifred Greenwood. In 1913 he married his leading lady, Winifred Greenwood. They divorced in 1918.
After a short intermission, George Field returned in 1918 to the screen in the William S. Hart Western Riddle Gawne (William S. Hart, Lambert Hillyer, 1918). George later worked for another cowboy star, Dustin Farnum. During the early 1920s, George Field continued to appear in well-known silent films such as Blood and Sand ( Fred Niblo, 1922) and The Young Rajah (Phil Rosen, 1922), both starring Rudolph Valentino. However, illness cut his career short and he was forced to leave acting in late 1924. That year, he starred in his last film, the Western Trigger Fingers (B. Reeves Eason, 1924) with Bob Custer. George Field died of tuberculosis in 1925 in Los Angeles, California. He was 47. Wikipedia: "George's funeral notice appeared in The Los Angeles Times and stated that he was the beloved husband of Mary L. Field, so his divorce from Winifred is almost certain."

History of Butler County Kansas by Vol P. Mooney, Illustrated, Standard Publishing Company,Lawrence, Kansas 1916
George William Ohmart, a Civil war veteran who has been identified with industrial Augusta for the past sixteen years, is a native of Illinois, born in Montgomery county in 1846. His parents were natives of Pennsylvania, and his mother died when he was three years of age, leaving the following children : Rachael Catherine, married a man named Miller, and died in Oklahoma; Samuel died at the age of five; Charles E., Augusta ; and George W., of this review.
George W. Ohmart received his education in the public schools of Logan county, Illinois, and at the age of sixteen enlisted in Company B, Seventy-third Illinois infantry. His regiment was attached to the Army of the Cumberland, and he saw severe service for a period of about three years. He was at the battles of Perryville, Stone River, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Atlanta, Franklin and Nashville, and during the Atlanta campaign, he was under fire almost continuously for four months. At the battle of Franklin, which history records as one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil war, he received a wound which nearly ended his military career. A musket ball penetrated his hat inflicting a flesh wound on his right temple and glanced from his skull, and passed through twenty-four thicknesses of his blanket which he was carrying on his shoulder. Mr. Ohmart was unconscious for an hour or more, from the effect of the wound. He was "clipped" by bullets, as he calls it, on two other occasions, and at another time received a cut on the lip from a sword in a hand to hand conflict.
At the close of the war he returned to Illinois, and learned the blacksmith's trade. In 1880, he went to Nebraska, and settled in Otoe county where he remained twelve years ; and then to Valley county, Nebraska, remaining two years. In 1894 he came to Kansas, and after spending one year at Andover went to Benton, remaining there until 1900.
He then came to Augusta where he engaged in farming about two years, when he opened a blacksmith shop which he has since conducted.
Mr. Ohmart was united in marriage at Jacksonville, 111., in 1873, to Miss Oella Robbins, a daughter of Randolph Robbins, an early settler of Mason county, Illinois, who located there in 1854, and later removed to Jacksonville. To Mr. and Mrs. Ohmart have been born eight children, five of whom are living, as follows : George R., Enid, Okla. ; Mrs. Ida May Runion, El Dorado, Ivans. ; Albert R., Wichita ; Charles E., Great Bend, Kans., and Myrtie E., at home. Mr. Ohmart is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, L. E. King Post, No. 105. He is one of the progressive business men of Augusta, and has built up an extensive business in his line.
Christian E. Ohmart, brother of George W., whose sketch appears on a preceding page of this volume, was born in Montgomery county, Illinois, in 1842. He received a common school education in the district schools of Logan county and spent his early life on the home farm. On November 21, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, Fourth Illinois cavalry, when he was nineteen years old. He participated in many important battles, and skirmishes without number, as was the common lot of the average cavalryman in the Civil war. He was in the battles of Fort Donelson, Corinth, Shiloh and many others.
Mr. Ohmart was mustered out of service at Natchez, Miss., in 1864, and returned to Logan county, Illinois, where he remained until 1879. He then went to Camden county, Missouri, remaining there until 1909 when he came to Butler county. Mr. Ohmart learned the blacksmith's trade while in the army, and has made that his life work. He came to Butler county in 1909 and since that time has been associated with his brother, George W., a sketch of whom precedes this article.
Christian E. Ohmart was united in marriage in 1884, to Miss Frances Wooley, a native of Missouri, and they had four children, as follows: John. Augusta; Sarah, died at the age of two; Stephen, Augusta, and Frederick, died at the age of four.

"Georges' beautiful greys are well known to all who live in Bristol. The grey horse is the Firm's trade mark and the draymen are keenly interested and proud of their charges. The horse drays are all being fitted with ball-bearing wheels and pneumatic tyres, which eases the load these magnificent horses have to draw. The well kept hygienic stables; are worthy of a visit"

George Washington was the 1st President of the United States. He was also a member of the Continental Congress that would sign the Association and later the United State Constitution. His rise to glory started as a General during the French and Indian War and would go on as Commanding General during the Revolutionary War, although he would always introduce himself as just a farmer.
In 1753, the French Army sided with all Indian tribes to force British out of the country. Their first act was to occupy the Ohio Valley. This was controlled by the British and considered split land between Pennsylvania and Virginia. The British sent Washington to the valley to deliver a message to the French asking them to vacate the area. The French refused and this starting the French and Indian War.
Washington was put as an aid to British General Edward Braddock. In 1755, Braddock would be killed in battle and George Washington would take charge to lead the army. The troops were forced to retreat but Washington was promoted to General for his heroism for taking charge and his composure on the battlefield. Washington was given General of Virginia Regiment and is considered the first Regiment or army controlled by colonies. All other parts of army was British ruled or just militia. Washington would take his army and march west where he would lead a charge against Fort Duquesne in present day Pittsburgh forcing the French to retreat and open up the Ohio Valley.
Soon after this major victory, Washington would retire from the British Army. He would return back to his home, Mount Vernon, in Virginia, where he would continue his job as a farmer. It was as a farmer that Washington would take pride, and when introduced, he would always be referred to as George Washington, the farmer, not President or general. He would soon meet and marry widower Martha Dainbridge Custis. She would have 2 children who George would raise as his own because he would never have children with Martha.
With the outbreak of the Revolutionary War coming, all colonies called what they referred to as a Constitutional Convention. Washington would attend Virginias and be elected as a delegate to join the Continental Congress in Philadelphia. In 1774, as a member of the 1st Continental Congress, Washington would help right and sign the Articles of Association. These articles were sent to the Queen of England and highlighted the cruelties of the throne and British control over the colonies. The Association would later serve as a rough draft for the Declaration of Independence. The Articles of Association were ignored by the Queen and the Colonies were forced to declare their independence from England.
In 1775, when the 2nd Continental Congress was decided, Washington would again serve as delegate from Virginia. He would arrive in Philadelphia in his war suit ready for war. So instead of serving in the Congress, John Adams of Massachusetts nominated Washington as General and Commander of all Continental forces. Washington thought he wasnt capable of this honor but accepted. Washington, however, served in the British Army where he was a General and learned how to lead a British Army and fight with a British Army. It made him an easy candidate.
Washington would take over the army with different goals. He would train the Army, since most men were common men and never served in the Army. He would also lead this army he trained and put together against the Crown without surrendering until the war was over. And that he did.
Throughout this war, Washington would lead this army with his head held high and ready to take down any obstacle in their way. He would however be defeated in over half the battles he led. But he never surrendered. He would almost be captured at the Battle of Long Island but was able to escape and flee New York. In 1777, he had his men camped out at Valley Forge for the winter. Over the next 6 months, thousands of his men died at Valley Forge from disease. Congress did not have the money to send supplies like clothes or food. The army almost decided to over throw Washington but Washington would help raise the morale of the soldiers. He would have all local farmers donate food and would bring in Generals Marque de Lafayette and Frederick Von Steuben. They would train the soldiers in gorillia warfare and how to beat the British Army. The next few years, the Army started defeating the British one battle at a time. It would all come to an end in 1781 when Washington would lead his men to Yorktown and surround British Major General Lord Cornwallis bringing an end to the war.
After the war, Washington would give his farewell speech to his troops at Fraunces Tavern in New York and then retire to his home Mount Vernon. He would again be sent to Philadelphia in 1787 to help rewrite a new Constitution because the Articles of Confederation were to vague and causing problems in the newly formed states. Washington would preside over the congress and help write the new Constitution. He would then be one of the signers to sign the United States Constitution. One thing in the Constitution was that a new government would be formed with one man presiding it. Washington would be voted and sworn in as the 1st President of the United States.
Washington serves as 1st President with no idea on how to run a whole government. But he considered himself a man of the people and it was his duty to serve the people. Washington helped set up a nation built on laws and government. He set up a good Judicial System to preside over cases instead of having one man decide the outcome. Washington also set up a treasury to control government spending and helped set up a banking system. Washington spent 2 terms as President of the United States but spent all his time setting up a nation for the future. He retired after 2 terms because he felt that he would always be elected if he ran, and if only one man serves as President, he would be no different then a king, which is why we declared our independence from England in the first place.

The George Washington Bridge (known informally as the GW Bridge, the GWB, the GW, or the George), is a suspension bridge spanning the Hudson River, connecting the Washington Heights neighborhood in New York City to Fort Lee in New Jersey. Interstate 95 and U.S. Route 1/9 cross the river via the bridge. U.S. Route 46, which is entirely in New Jersey, ends halfway across the bridge at the state border.
The bridge has an upper level with four lanes in each direction and a lower level with three lanes in each direction, for a total of 14 lanes of travel. A path on each side of the bridge's upper level carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic. As of 2007, the George Washington Bridge has the greatest vehicular capacity of any bridge in the world, carrying approximately 106 million vehicles per year, making it the world's busiest motor vehicle bridge, according to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Groundbreaking for the new bridge began in October 1927, a project of the Port of New York Authority. Its chief engineer was Othmar Ammann, with Cass Gilbert as architect. The bridge was dedicated on October 24, 1931, and opened to traffic the following day. Initially named the "Hudson River Bridge," the bridge is named in honor of George Washington, the first President of the United States. The Bridge is near the sites of Fort Washington (on the New York side) and Fort Lee (in New Jersey), which were fortified positions used by General Washington and his American forces in his unsuccessful attempt to deter the British occupation of New York City in 1776 during the American Revolutionary War. Washington evacuated Manhattan by crossing between the two forts. In 1910 the Washington Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a stone monument to the Battle of Fort Washington. The monument is located about 100 yards northeast of the Little Red Lighthouse, up the hill towards the eastern bridge anchorage.
When it opened in 1931, the bridge surpassed the Ambassador Bridge for the longest main span in the world . At 3,500 feet, it nearly doubled the previous record of 1,850 feet. It held this title until the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge. The total length of the bridge is 4,760 feet.
As originally built, the bridge offered six lanes of traffic, but in 1946, two additional lanes were provided on what is now the upper level. A second, lower deck, which had been anticipated in Ammann's original plans, was ordered by Col. McCammon, USACE, opening to the public on August 29, 1962. This lower level has been waggishly nicknamed "Martha". The additional deck increased the capacity of the bridge by 75 percent, making the George Washington Bridge the world's only 14-lane suspension bridge, providing eight lanes on the upper level and six on the lower deck.
The original design for the towers of the bridge called for them to be encased in concrete and granite. However, because of cost considerations during the Great Depression and favorable aesthetic critiques of the bare steel towers, this was never done. The exposed steel towers, with their distinctive criss-crossed bracing, have become one of the bridge's most identifiable characteristics. Le Corbusier (Charles-Edouard Jeanneret) said of the unadorned steel structure:
"The George Washington Bridge over the Hudson is the most beautiful bridge in the world. Made of cables and steel beams, it gleams in the sky like a reversed arch. It is blessed. It is the only seat of grace in the disordered city. It is painted an aluminum color and, between water and sky, you see nothing but the bent cord supported by two steel towers. When your car moves up the ramp the two towers rise so high that it brings you happiness; their structure is so pure, so resolute, so regular that here, finally, steel architecture seems to laugh. The car reaches an unexpectedly wide apron; the second tower is very far away; innumerable vertical cables, gleaming against the sky, are suspended from the magisterial curve which swings down and then up. The rose-colored towers of New York appear, a vision whose harshness is mitigated by distance." (When the Cathedrals were White)
The George Washington Bridge was designated as a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Civil Engineers on October 24, 1981, the fiftieth anniversary of the bridge's dedication ceremony.
If weather allows, on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day, as well as on dates honoring those lost in the September 11, 2001 attacks, the bridge sports the largest free-flying American flag in the world; 90 feet long and 60 feet wide, the flag weighs 450 pounds.
I've always been a fan of George Takei. I really only knew of him through Star Trek and guest appearances on shows here and there, along with a few brief interviews of his. Even in character, he has always come across as a great guy. At this con I took the time to sit in on most of his panel discussion. Wow, did he blow me away.
He is very open about his life. He discussed the recent law in California which will allow him to marry his partner of 30 plus years (I think that is the right amount of time) and the upcoming vote that will be on the ballot to change the California constitution to amend that law. He is such a well spoken man and a fantastic spokesman for equal rights, not only for the gay and lesbian community, but for all people.
He also spoke about his early life and being sent, with his family, to an internment camp. At five his family was rounded up and shipped out after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and how he, as a young boy initially thought it was great fun to be able to sleep where the horses did.
He has lived a fascinating life and is such a fantastic speaker. As much as I respected him, his sense of humor (see him in Season 1 of Psyche) and his drive and passion, after hearing him speak that respect has increased. I'm glad I took the time to catch at least part of his panel.

Georges Braque 1882 – 1963 was a major 20th century French painter and sculptor who, along with Pablo Picasso, developed the ideas of Cezanne and Cubism. His later work continued to explore still life and a number of novel approaches to picture making and surface.
It was very interesting to listen to Gilbert & George talk about their life & art. The conversation was moderated by Michael Bracewell at HAM. www.henipublishing.com/tag/michael-bracewell/
"Gilbert & Georges’ art expresses their own array of feelings and thoughts. Their art is intended to confront, provoke, interrogate, disrupt, inspire, and even de-shock the audience. They prompt visitors to ask vital questions and reflect on their own lives and experiences, and of art. Whilst posing questions that may not be answerable they also encourage visitors to contemplate on the experience of looking at art itself. Yet it is an anarchistic seriousness that forms the essence of their pictures. It serves to engage viewers through contrasts, reversals, paradoxes, or just sheer truth. Gilbert & George are not only the creators of their art but also the central subject, or embodiment, of it. They consider themselves as one artist; seeing, experiencing and celebrating life with a singular vision. Gilbert & George are the art of Gilbert & George, and life of Gilbert & George is art."

George introduces his sister Kali to the group. 90% of the time George gets the object that is being thrown, 9% his brother Rookie gets it (you would think his percentage would be higher given he's the retriever and bigger, but it's not), and the other 1% Kali gets it. I took Rookie out of the equation for getting these shots. But add in the fact that the game is usually over when Kali gets it (she doesn't bring it back) it was a bit harder than I thought it would be to get what I was after for his final shot. She does however always nag at him once he gets the object, and tries to snag it from him. We are trading out our traditional sable & white sheltie, for a blue merle.
