 Hi! I am going to be on a roll here so get ready!
In OAISTER the SD I chose happened to be four Navy ships in Santa Monica Bay in 1908. Lots of pics and description of the event and events in Santa Monica listed 24 items. All words will take you to anything with that word in CA, Santa Monica. Being from VA where the largest naval ship yard it was fun to check out the ships in the CA area.

On to #8: The autographed card under Sitting Bull was of American Indians posing for a photographer @ SD exhibit @ Court of States 9133-34 Expo. in Chicago IL. Click on SD & up comes more photos and articles. Click on a photo and that photo & citing comes up-lots of detail for each title.
I learned from Sitting Bull @ Cornell Univ. Lib. his name  "Tatanka or Tataka Iyotankaor Ta-Tanka I-Yotan. He was a Shaman, laeder of Hunpapa Sioux and he toured with Buffalo Bill. He was killed @ an 'outlawed' Ghost Dance. How sad!

I researched Gary Paulsen. There is a collection in Minn. MN @ 113 Elmer L Anderson Lib, Univ. of MN, "The Children's Literature" research collections.
this is great for school classes and research and artists could make great use of this site.

1. In CAMIO I found that Paul Revere made teaspoons, tea urns, sugar bowls w/ covers, sauce boats, goblets, tankards, creampots and other articles.
2. In CAMIO Sioux brought up 63 works: lots of bead work and pipes but it was interesting that there were two pipes alike circa. 1820 & 1880 @ Detroit Inst. of Art. Upon further research of them they were different sizes @ 13X26X4.1 and 11.4X18.7X4.8!
3.No Terry Redlin, Brenda Breckner or Harvey Dunn, my three favorites. Picasso shows 1016 works in places like OH, NY, CA for the first 20 works.
4. For this one I chose "Skyway" (JFK space landing site, backside of nude, city scape, eagle,et, very inteersting silk screen painting,  for the mix of pictures in the painting, "Two Guides" (NY) for the good color in it, "Multnomah Falls  Cascades, Columbia River"; 'Loss of Schooner 'John S. Spence', Norfolk, VA for the 2d view of rescue of survivors.
5. I chose costumes and Jewelry making because my daughter and her husband are artists so I have an interest is jewelry and painting. I checked out a mack with seal or sea otter. The Yup'ik peoples believed in giving back and replenishing in life. They had a festival using masks to denote the circle of life. It was from the Dallas Museum of Art. Very interesting - much like the Indians of America.
Great site for research or comparisons of artistic styles or ideas for those like my daughter and son-in-law who make a living through the arts.


9. Ancestry Library:  1. Could not find my marriage license: Linda Sue Yoder brought up 128, 818 listings; narrowing to 'marriage listed 17,1790 sites and Linda Lowe brought up 107,233 listings. My mother, Else June Yoder brought up22,550 listing in OH. In Family Tree I found realtions listed at 184 but I was not listed. I found my father, Lester Yoder's death is SS Death Index, US Public Records Vol. !, NC Marriage Collection, US Phone, 1930 Census.
A customer in the library was using it and, like myself was very frustrated that if you put in the exact information you seek to look up that there are so many listed and neither one of us ever found ourselves.
2. Grandparent findings did find my grand mother Lillian Mae Wood/Kreisel & Marion Carl Kreisel in the 1930 census. I found my mother's brother listed and his kids in Hags Head, NC from obits of July 24, 2011, my uncle's death. It showed my mother and my other uncle as siblings.
3. i searched for Kreisel maps, there were none. I found Lester Yoder in Jerome, OH, 128.
4. I searched for Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, SD and found nothing.
    I searched Monticello, VA for Thomas Jefferson. There were 45 results. I found genealogy of some of the descendants of 18=903 with 57 pages.
    I searched the Corn palace-SD history-Periodical-Pierre-Spring 1982 Vol12, Is. 1, result #8 Pub. by SD Historical Society, ISSN 0361-8671, with 8 known repositories.
5. Agar, SD not listed. Edgemont, SD not listed Hot Spring, SD - 9 sheets, May '23'-May -42' - There were visible additions tot he SD State Soldier's Home. Found many old places where friends live now and businesses are now located.

10. This has been a very interesting search! I checked Money Smart Week, 4/22-28. There is so much helpful financial information for all ages! www.360financialliteracy.org/Life-Stages is a site from the nations CPA's for personal finances through every stage of life. www.chicagofed.org/webpages/education/msw/index.cfm has moneysmart week info. incpas.orgstudents/moneysense/MoneySense.gspx has infor the tweens, parents & kids. I shared this with friends who home school their children. Fifyt Jifty Econ Card: www.federalreserveeducation.org/resources/fiftynifty/ is another good site.
I would encourage my homeschooling moms to use Learning Express and take the online courses, as well as the New Proquest and SIRS.
I would also suggest that they attend SD library week in Pierre 4/14.
I think I will be mentioning the Helping Job Seekers in Pierre on 4/19 to those I know need help in that area.
I love the Money Smart Week information. that is my biggest discovery! With a series of free classes and activities designed to help consumers better manage their personal finances we all win.
I would like to use Money Smart Week @ Your Library Resources & Programs and suggest it to the teacher I know, as well as homeschool parents.
www.chicagofed.org/digital-_assest/other/education/msw/ala/maw_alla_resources.pdf is a great tool!
