Download or read book Legendary Locals of Latrobe written by Joseph A. Comm and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located at the base of the rolling hills of the Laurel Highlands, Latrobe is best known as the birthplace of children's television pioneer Fred Rogers and golf legend Arnold Palmer. It is the home of Rolling Rock Beer, Pittsburgh Steelers training camp, and St. Vincent College. Latrobe has also been recognized for many famous firsts, like the first banana split, first all-professional football team, first Benedictine monastery in the United States, first nonstop airmail pickup, and first female nuclear scientist at Westinghouse Electric Company. It is a community of individuals who collectively exemplify the strong, hardworking culture of Western Pennsylvania--people like Oliver Barnes, a railroad engineer and Latrobe's founder; Philip Mowry McKenna, innovator in the machining of steel and father of "Kennametal" tools; Joseph E. Greubel, who transformed his family's ice cream-centered dairy stores into the thriving Valley Dairy Restaurants; Dr. Sara Carr McComb, a "legendary" librarian; and Robert Mendler, a Holocaust survivor who spent his life educating young people to respect one other. Legendary Locals of Latrobe celebrates these and nearly 200 other noteworthy figures and groups who have shaped and continue to shape the community.
Download or read book Growing up in Mister Rogers Real Neighborhood written by Chris Rodell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a world that cries out for civility and healing, this is the only book about Mister Rogers' Neighborhood by an author who actually calls the place home. Known for his joyful humor, author Chris Rodell tells the story of how Latrobe influenced a young Fred Rogers, how the adult Fred Rogers influenced Latrobe and how both combined to influence him and the world. It relates how visionary educators are beginning to equate Mister Rogers with spiritual leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. It tells the stories of couples he married, souls he saved and asks if calling him "Christ-like" is blasphemous or accurate. It has previously untold stories of Rogers being a life-saving superhero and of him being perfectly human. Governor Tom Ridge in his admiring foreword says: "Rodell writes about Latrobe and its native son the way Sinatra sings about New York, unflinching about the gritty realities, but with abiding affection and relentless positivity about the future." In the end, the book is about how we can turn the entire planet into Mister Rogers' Neighborhood beginning inside our very own hearts.

Download or read book Interviews with American Composers written by Barney Childs and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2022-01-25 with total page 737 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1972-73, Barney Childs embarked on an ambitious attempt to survey the landscape of new American concert music. He recorded freewheeling conversations with fellow composers, most of them under forty, all of them important but most not yet famous. Though unable to publish the interviews in his lifetime, Childs had gathered invaluable dialogues with the likes of Robert Ashley, Olly Wilson, Harold Budd, Christian Wolff, and others. Virginia Anderson edits the first published collection of these conversations. She pairs each interview with a contextual essay by a contemporary expert that shows how the composer's discussion with Childs fits into his life and work. Together, the interviewees cover a broad range of ideas and concerns around topics like education, notation, developments in electronic music, changing demands on performers, and tonal music. Innovative and revealing, Interviews with American Composers is an artistic and historical snapshot of American music at an important crossroads.

Book excerpt: About 40 miles east of Pittsburgh is the small town of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the place Arnold Palmer called home. The world knew Palmer as The King. But the Palmer Latrobe knew was funnier, goofier, saltier, and less grandiose than the one justifiably loved around the globe. In Arnold Palmer: Homespun Stories of the King, journalist, Latrobe resident, and accidental Palmer insider Chris Rodell draws upon over 100 interviews with the golf great conducted over 20 years, providing an intimate, charming, and at times irreverent glimpse at the icon outside the spotlight.
