This images is from a 35mm slide. Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive

This one of the many surprises you get in the Chapada... this image has no treatment (ok, ok... some levels...) the water is so blue because of the magnesiums.
During Mass for the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time at the Cathedral of Saint Andrew on Oct. 9, 2022, the Diocese honored in a special way the sacred vocation of marriage as Bishop David Walkowiak celebrated the annual Wedding Anniversary Mass. Among the congregation and our online and TV Mass viewership were couples celebrating milestone anniversaries this year from parishes throughout the 11-county diocese. The liturgy included a blessing for married couples. A reception at Cathedral Square Center was held following the Mass.

"Ô velho pescador
Mão no leme, a navegar na proa
Nas ondas, nas ondas do mar
Ô velho pescador
Mão na rede pra puxar
E agora, a aurora vai despontar
Uma arrancada a mais
A rede sobe mais
São Pedro trouxe cheia
Lá do mar, ô
Ô velho pescador
Velas às bandas pra voltar
Que agora é hora
De ir descansar"

TONY HADLEY – PROFILE
Tony Hadley, the eldest son of Josephine and Patrick, was born at The Royal Free Hospital, Islington, London on 2 June 1960. Tony attended Dame Alice Owen’s Grammar School and thought his future lay in medicine but, after winning a holiday singing competition, decided that his vocation was as a singer … the rest is history …
SPANDAU BALLET – THE 80s PHENOMENON
Pioneers of the 80s Romantic movement, Spandau Ballet formed in 1978 and had numerous chart topping singles and albums all over the world, some of the most memorable being the singles “Gold”, “Only When You Leave”, “Lifeline”, the epic “Through the Barricades” and of course the international number one “True”; the latter famously sampled by PM Dawn in 1991 and featured on Paul Anka’s Rock Swings in 2005.
As lead singer of Spandau Ballet, Tony Hadley has, over the years, earned the accolade of being one of pop music’s greatest vocalists. In addition to all the band’s songs, many will remember his prominent vocal contribution to the Band Aid UK charity single “Do They Know It’s Christmas” and subsequent 1985 London appearance at Live Aid. He also performed solo at the Nelson Mandela Concert at Wembley in June 1988.
A LIFE IN MUSIC
Turning the page on Spandau Ballet (after they disbanded in 1990), Tony has stuck to the same raw instincts that brought him early success. Tony is now a solo artist in his own right who has spent the past twenty five years entertaining audiences all over the world with his stunning rich voice that has lost none of its power.
He has continued to write and record, and to date has released four solo studio albums; ‘State of Play’ on EMI Records, two albums through Universal Records, a self-titled album in 1998, and ‘True Ballads’ in 2003. In 2006, on his own label, Slipstream Records, he released his swing album ‘Passing Strangers’ in 2006. He has also released three live albums, two live DVDs and has had European success with several dance music collaborations. The Live CD/DVD 'Live from Metropolis Studios' was released in 2013.
On the live music front Tony is a regular performer, delighting audiences at home and abroad with his own UK and European solo tours, also appearing at many festivals around Europe.
In 2005 Tony's contribution to the music industry was officially recognised with the award of a Gold Badge from the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters.
Subsequently, in 2007 he won a new legion of fans following his critically acclaimed performance as Billy Flynn in Chicago on the London’s West End Stage. Tony’s appearances in the show gave the musical one of its most successful runs ever and earned him an invitation to perform in the 10th Anniversary Show in 2007.
A PASSION FOR SWING
Aside from his own live band, Tony also has a passion for ‘Swing’; Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Jack Jones being just a few of his personal favourites and has performed with some of the greatest jazz orchestras in Europe.
In 2006 Tony released his swing album ‘Passing Strangers. It was a personal project that had been months in the planning and truly reflects his passion for swing. The album features some of his favourite songs and was released to coincide with Tony’s first UK Swing tour, aptly-named ‘Swinging True’.
TV, RADIO AND PUBLISHING
Tony’s talents as an artist extend beyond the stage and in recent years his profile has increased dramatically in the UK. His participation in the UK reality TV show ‘Reborn In The USA’ in 2003, which saw him travelling across The US in a tour bus with eight other British artists, eventually won him the public vote and the overall “crown”.
He also became a successful Radio DJ at Virgin Radio , bringing his own brand of chat and music to the national airwaves every Friday and Saturday night. Tony left Virgin in October 2008 . He is currently a DJ on Absolute 80s every Saturday night.
In May 2004 Macmillan Books released Tony’s autobiography ‘To Cut A Long Story Short’. The book charted Tony’s youth, his early days in the school band, and the heady heights of worldwide super stardom as lead singer of Spandau Ballet.
CHARITABLE WORK
Tony likes to donate time to support charitable causes. As patron and a Vice President of Shooting Star Chase Children’s Hospice Care he has worked and performed at their fund raising events and, alongside his great friend and drummer from Spandau Ballet John Keeble, they won £64,000 on British TV’s cult quiz programme Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
Tony also has a major involvement with Action Medical Research, participating in their treks to Machu Picchu, The Lost World (Venezuela) and the Eden Trek, trekking from the Pacific to Caribbean coasts in Costa Rica, resulting in a huge sum of money being raised for the charity’s “Touching Tiny Lives” campaign, looking at research into and help for premature birth. Each autumn, Tony hosts his own celebrity golf day to raise money for this charity.
Tony is patron of the following four charities:
www.shootingstarchase.org.uk/ Shooting Star Shooting Star Chase is a leading children’s hospice charity caring for babies, children and young people with life-limiting conditions, and their families. It costs £9.5 million a year just to maintain their current level of care. Around 10% of that income comes from government funding.
www.lowetrust.com The Lowe Syndrome Trust is a UK Charity formed in June 2000 by parents of a Lowe syndrome child. The charity supports families and initiates and funds medical research into Lowe Syndrome. Lowe Syndrome is a genetic disorder that can occur with no family history, affecting boys and multiple physical and mental handicaps including cataracts in both eyes, muscle weakness (hypotonia or floppy baby syndrome), kidney problems, cysts, brittle bones, arthritis, poor growth, mental impairment with behaviour problems (autistic spectrum disorder) and epilepsy.

www.hda.org.uk The Huntington's Disease Association exists to support people affected by the disease and to provide information and advice to professionals whose task it is to support Huntington's disease families. Huntington's disease, which is often called HD, is an hereditary disorder of the central nervous system. It used to be known as Huntington's Chorea or HC. Huntington's disease usually develops in adulthood and can cause a very wide range of symptoms. The disease affects both men and women.
THE ENTREPENEUR
Aside from his life in the music industry, Tony has other business interests. In 2006 he became a co-owner of the Red Rat Craft Brewery, and became a brewer, with award-winning ales, including Hadley’s Golden Ale, Hadley’s Crazy Dog Stout, Hadley’s Gold and Hadley’s SB. Sadly this business closed and in 2013, Tony teamed up with the The Great Yorkshire Brewery www.thegreatyorkshirebrewery.co.uk/ and launched a new golden lager which is available in cask and bottled form.
He is also involved in the set up of a new satellite TV channel, featuring programmes on music, beer and sport with a light-hearted emphasis.
THE FAMILY LIFE
As father of five children, Tony likes to keep fit and keep up with the kids!! He regularly runs and exercises. He loves his annual ski holiday and savours scuba and water skiing in the summer. One of his biggest passions is football – he’s a regular at Arsenal matches – and sometimes plays for Arsenal ex-Professional and Celebrity XI team. His speciality is the “own goal”!
SPANDAU BALLET REFORMATION
2009 saw the reformation of Spandau Ballet with all the original members. With UK Arena Show dates in the Autumn of 2009 and European, Australian, New Zealand and South African dates in the Spring of 2010, the tour celebrated the band’s greatest hits and lead singer Tony once again captured audiences with his distinct style and powerful voice.
ORCHESTRA TOUR
In the Autumn of 2014, Tony toured across the UK, singing songs from the forthcoming new album, songs he loves and Spandau Ballet's back catalogue accompanied by his pop/rock band and The Southbank Sinfonia Orchestra.
SOUL BOYS OF THE WESTERN WORLD TOUR
Following the release of the documentary film Soul Boys of the Western World in September 2014, Spandau Ballet are on the road again in 2015 playing in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, Spain, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai and Singapore.
WHAT'S NEXT
Tony has been back in the studio working on tracks for his new solo album due for release in 2016. He regularly takes part in music festivals around the world.
Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment.
Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone's task is unique as his specific opportunity to implement it.

"“Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd of our souls, you who know your sheep and know how to reach the human heart: Stir the hearts of those young people who would follow you but who cannot overcome doubts and fears. You who are the Word of the Father, the Word which enlightens and sustains hearts, conquer with your Spirit the resistance and delays of indecisive hearts. Arouse in those whom you call the courage of Love’s answer: “Here I am, send me”."

L’Anneau, nouvelle icône de Montréal
Daniel Bromberg
Cet article a été mis à jour le 9 juin 2022.
L’annonce et l’arrivée de l’Anneau, un cercle d’acier d’un diamètre de 30 mètres suspendu au-dessus de l’escalier nouvellement réaménagé de l’Esplanade Place Ville Marie, viennent véritablement couronner la revitalisation et la relance du centre-ville de Montréal. Conçu pour redonner au site sa vocation originale comme lieu de rassemblement dans le quartier des affaires et pour ajouter au dynamisme, à l’esprit et à la résilience de la métropole, l’Anneau est un témoignage brillant du lien fort qui unit Montréal, ses citoyens et ses visiteurs, alors que les résidents comme les touristes recommencent à profiter de ce que le centre-ville a à offrir.
Cette installation artistique audacieuse et visionnaire est le point culminant du projet de revitalisation de la Place Ville Marie. D’une durée de cinq ans et d’une valeur de 200 millions de dollars, ce projet a permis le réaménagement complet de l’esplanade, ainsi que l’ouverture du restaurant gastronomique Le Cathcart. La réalisation de l’Anneau a nécessité près de deux ans de travail et a impliqué une équipe multidisciplinaire composée de personnes talentueuses de Montréal et de Trois-Rivières. C’est grâce à leur étroite collaboration qu’a été créée cette structure symbolique au cœur de la plus grande métropole du Québec.
L’Anneau lui-même se veut une fenêtre sur plus de 200 ans d’histoire, établissant un point de vue direct de l’hôtel Reine Elizabeth et de l’Esplanade PVM jusqu’à l’Université McGill, l’ancien hôpital Royal Victoria et le mont Royal. En outre, l’éclairage nocturne de l’Anneau fera écho à un autre symbole montréalais, la croix illuminée du Mont-Royal, évoquant encore davantage l’importance historique des édifices patrimoniaux construits le long de cet axe important du centre-ville de Montréal — d’autant plus que le projet de REM progresse et que l’avenue McGill College fera l’objet d’une transformation « verte » dans les années à venir.
Conçu par les architectes paysagistes primés Claude Cormier + Associés, L’Anneau est le plus récent projet de l’équipe à l’origine d’autres impressionnants projets de rénovation urbaine à Montréal, comme les boules roses et l’installation « 18 nuances de gai » dans le Village, la plage de l’Horloge du Vieux-Port de Montréal, les escaliers et la fontaine à l’extrémité nord du square Dorchester, et l’installation « Nature légère » au Palais des congrès.
Ce projet a été réalisé grâce au soutien financier du Fonds de maintien des actifs stratégiques en tourisme (FMAST) de Tourisme Montréal ainsi que du gouvernement du Québec et de la Chambre de commerce du Montréal métropolitain.

The Oval, Montreal's New Icon
Daniel Bromberg
This article was last updated on June 9, 2022.
The announcement and arrival of the Ring, a 30 meter diameter steel circle suspended above the newly redesigned staircase of the Esplanade Place Ville Marie, truly crowns the revitalization and relaunch from downtown Montreal. Designed to restore the site to its original vocation as a gathering place in the business district and to add to the dynamism, spirit and resilience of the metropolis, the Ring is a shining testimony to the strong bond that unites Montreal, its citizens and its visitors, while residents and tourists alike are once again enjoying what the downtown has to offer.
This bold and visionary art installation is the culmination of the Place Ville Marie revitalization project. Lasting five years and worth $200 million, this project enabled the complete redevelopment of the esplanade, as well as the opening of the gourmet restaurant Le Cathcart. The realization of the Ring took nearly two years of work and involved a multidisciplinary team made up of talented people from Montreal and Trois-Rivières. It is thanks to their close collaboration that this symbolic structure was created in the heart of the largest metropolis in Quebec.
The Ring itself is meant to be a window into over 200 years of history, establishing a direct vantage point from the Queen Elizabeth Hotel and Esplanade PVM to McGill University, the former Royal Hospital Victoria and Mount Royal. In addition, the nighttime illumination of the Ring will echo another Montreal symbol, the illuminated cross of Mount Royal, further evoking the historical importance of the heritage buildings constructed along this important axis of downtown Montreal. — especially since the REM project is progressing and Avenue McGill College will undergo a “green” transformation in the years to come.
Designed by award-winning landscape architects Claude Cormier + Associés, L'Anneau is the latest project from the team behind other impressive urban renewal projects in Montreal, such as the pink balls and the installation "18 shades of gai” in the Village, the Plage de l'Horloge in the Old Port of Montreal, the stairs and the fountain at the north end of Dorchester Square, and the “Light Nature” installation at the Palais des Congrès.
This project was made possible thanks to the financial support of the Tourism Montreal Strategic Asset Maintenance Fund (FMAST) as well as the Government of Quebec and the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal.

I am using a mind mapping technique to gather my thoughts and make connnections about my own vocation to write my paper.
