WELSH Dorothy; Music: Organ; Women at Work
Photograph Scrapbook Album of Dorothy Welsh Employee of Schantz Organ Company: 1951-1990
Orrville OH; 1954-1990. 4to. Hardcover binder with 99 clear plastic leaves holding hundreds of clipppings ephemera and 203 photographs 53 black and white snapshot; 122 color snapshot; 26 Polaroid instant color prints; 2 black and white enlargements. Contents laid into pages loose. Majority of photographs captioned to versos. Overall well preserved; about near fine. <br/><br/>A large scrapbook compiled by Dorothy Agnes Welsh b.1921-d.2001 documenting her 40-year career with the Schantz Organ Company of Orrville Ohio. Founded in 1870 Schantz was primarily a local operation until a national expansion in the years immediately following WWII. A turn-key firm responsible for all aspects of the design building installation service and renovation of many of the country's finest pipe organs its growth and many of its most ambitious projects are documented here including the firm's magnum opus: a massive 1950's installation in the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Newark NJ conatining nearly 9000 individual pipes. <br /> <br />Through article clippings images detailed captions and notes Dorothy documents the day-to-day at Schantz through her clear well composed views and uncomplicated text. Approximately 1/4 of the images are of employee gatherings primarily retirement parties though the majority of prints are occupational and provide clear views of the company's process and employees: woodworking intricate electronic designs antique organ restorations installations etc. from the early 1950's to 1990 and from the perspective of a female employee. <br /> <br />Welsh began work in the console department in January of 1951. During her four-decade long career she served in nearly all of the company's departments thus these images seem to document every aspect of the firm's work. Many employees were women. A telling bit of ephemere suggests what the workplace may have been like for Dorothy: an illustrated napkin disparaging women drivers along with a brief note on and 1965 photograph of the co-worker who left it for her Ray Eyster is among the ephemera. The incident seems to have stuck with Dorothy given its presence among the contents. "Eyster Put this on my work bench. I had been driving a car a short time when this show up. He work at Schantz a few yr. He was not happy .". <br /> <br />Clippings are often notated by Welsh and focus on local and national coverage of Schanz's projects and notable life events of her co-workers primarily obituaries. Additional are several photographic company brochures with detailed specs on organ installations at Lawrence University in Appleton WI: Trinity United Church of Christ in Canton OH; First Methodist Church in Glendale CA; Sharp Chapel at Tulsa University; and more. <br /> <br />A considerable primary record of women in an artisan workplace richly documenting in visual and written detail the myriad elements involved in the work of the Schantz Organ Company. hardcover books

Mary first visited Cornwall in 1913when she was one year old and ever sincethe West Country has held a firm place in her affections.Her childhood enchantment with the sandy beaches high cliffs and bumpy rocks has endured and deepened as she has discovered more and more of this unique land.She remembers being taught to ride by Jenny the Exmoor pony boarding a captured German submarine and coming across a herd of llamas evacuated from Paignton Zoo during the Second World War.It was in the West Countrywith her husband's encouragementthat Mary began to write.Her characters and their homes have often been inspired by the people and countryside around heras the quotations from her novels demonstrate.Herewhen she shares some of the true stories and favourite locations that have made their way into her booksshe allows us to glimpse something of the process by which a writer mixes imagination and reality in the creation of fiction. 'Part of the Scenery' is a private journey through the West Country one rich in memories which illuminate the sometimes wild and independent nature of this region as well as its more familiar sunshine and beaches.From Land's End to Polzeathfrom South Sands to Mary's current home in Totnes this journey is vividly brought to life by Kim Sayer's beautiful photographs.And it is a journey we can all share. Kim Sayer has been a London photographer for twenty-five yearsspecializing in advertising and editorial work.He particularly enjoyed working with Mary Wesley on this project as it allowed him to get to know more of the West Country.He now lives and works in south Devon.

WHEN DEATH COMES STEALING SIGNED COPY AWARD FINALIST
New York NY U.S.A.: Putnam 1994. 1st ed. fine in dust jacket with two small nicks. Author's first book featuring Tamara Hayle a black single-mom and former cop turned private investigator. SIGNED COPY signature only by the author on the title page. A SHAMUS AWARD FINALIST for Best First Novel. "In her adult fiction debut Essence magazine executive editor Wesley introduces a decisive independent PI and single mother as heroine but sets her in a transparent formulaic plot. Tamara Hayle a divorced ex-cop and her 14-year-old son Jamal live in Newark N.J. not far from Jamal's father DeWayne who has three other sons by three different women. Ordinarily Tamara has no sympathy for DeWayne but when one of his sons dies of what the cops say is a drug overdose she agrees to DeWayne's request that she investigate the young man's apartment. She finds a neat room with fresh food in the fridge and extra money carefully stashed away--not the expected residence of a cocaine addict. When another of DeWayne's sons drowns in a bathtub five days later and another is shot soon after that Tamara becomes terrified for Jamal's safety. Wesley creates a broad interesting cast from gentle Jamal to a suave violent-tempered Jamaican who tries to seduce Tamara but too little is revealed of the PI herself. The book's strength lies in its portrayal of black family life in dangerous times--future installments of this promised series will have to fill us in on Tamara." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Book. Putnam
