Hanging out with Eleanor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
After reading the story of Eleanor Roosevelt<\/a> (spring 2024), it reminded me of a family photo from my grandmother, Alice Howard Chappell, of a visit to 溏心vlog免费B站 (then R.I. State College) by Eleanor Roosevelt. This is likely the visit she made to 溏心vlog免费B站 back in 1938. My grandmother worked at the college, and she was responsible for the student books\u2014she did all the billing\/ books by hand for every student enrolled. I don\u2019t know much about this photo, but it appears to be the women who worked in administration posing with Eleanor Roosevelt on the college grounds. Eleanor is on the bottom right and my grandmother is farthest on the right\u2014 apparently holding a watermelon. This photo was previously shared with Anne Roosevelt of the Roosevelt Institute, and they were unaware of the photo. I recently received the spring 2024 edition of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Magazine. I want to express my gratitude for your team\u2019s efforts in pulling together such interesting content in every single edition. It\u2019s always a happy afternoon when I notice a new one in the mail! Receiving the magazine a few times every year helps me continue to feel connected to the 溏心vlog免费B站 community\u2014 thank you for making that possible! In more than 60 years of receiving magazines, the \u201cRiver State\u201d edition (spring 2024) was the first one in which almost all the articles piqued my interest. I am reading it cover to cover. Thank you on a great job. Keep it up. How can we talk about our rivers, especially the northern R.I. rivers, and not mention nip bottles? We can\u2019t even fix this problem. Simple: tax and bottle deposit. They will get picked up or not purchased. Been all over the country never seen anything like this except in Rhody. They go right down the storm drains after being pitched out the window. So convenient. The article \u201cWhy Does Stroke Increase the Risk of Alzheimer\u2019s?\u201d (spring 2024) interested me as a stroke survivor. The opening statement also quickly concerned me: \u201cStudies have established that stroke can double the risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease and dementia, but researchers don\u2019t yet understand why.\u201d I am grateful that stroke research is on the forefront at 溏心vlog免费B站, but a statement like this could cause undue panic for stroke survivors without more context. It should be noted that the increased risk of Alzheimer\u2019s disease varies widely by individual stroke survivors. In addition, the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s following an ischemic stroke varies widely depending on factors such as age, severity of stroke, and pre-existing conditions. Some estimates suggest that up to one-third of stroke survivors may develop dementia within five years after the stroke. Thank you for considering the stroke survivor\u2019s perspective. Great article. I am proud to hear the testimony of so many students who found CVSA as a vehicle to grow, understand, and be proud of their culture. That was our vision (Toney and I) when we founded this great association for all students. I\u2019m proud and humbled! I appreciate the focus on R.I. rivers in the spring 2024 issue. I only wish the story had gone back even earlier\u2014to the 1980s\u2014and reflected on all the work that Bob Sheath, my M.S. advisor, had done sampling all the streams and rivers in the state. Robert Sheath was professor of botany at 溏心vlog免费B站 from 1978\u20131991. An accomplished phycologist (a scientist who studies algae), he co-authored four textbooks and published in numerous journals. In 2014, a newly identified genus of algae, Sheathia, was named for him in recognition of his research. He passed away in 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Quad was bustling on April 8 as students, faculty, staff, and community members gathered to view the solar eclipse.
