UMRA Member Survey—Coming Soon

The UMRA Board of Directors is working on a member survey that will be distributed to all of you later this fall. The objective of the survey is to learn more about issues important to you, issues that will help guide the board as they explore new initiatives and look into how to enhance existing activities. The UMRA Board needs your input and feedback. Please take this opportunity to tell us what programs and services are most important to you.

Your participation in this survey is vital to the ongoing success of UMRA. The more data we gather, the better to understand what is

working and what we want to change. The survey will be sent to your inbox. We encourage you to respond immediately. Make your voice heard and help inform the direction the association takes in the upcoming months as

well as down the road. Watch for it! It is coming your way this fall.

Get Connected. Stay Connected. Feel Connected.

President’s Report

The UMRA year is off to a great start! We held our first in-person membership meeting at Weber’s on September 9. This was our first in-person meeting in almost a year and a half. It was great to see so many people attend and hear all the different conversations going on in the room. We did encourage only those members who were vaccinated to attend and wear masks – pretty much everyone wore masks. We also spaced out the seating at tables and hired servers to distribute the snacks.

We had two great speakers on excellent topics. We were disappointed that, even with all our planning and testing, the livestreaming connection did not work. Our Livestream Committee is working on this and should have that connection fixed for our October 14 meeting. A few members contacted me and asked to see the

PowerPoints of the presentations. The speakers have graciously allowed us to post those and they can now be viewed in the Members Only section of our website. Just login and select Presentations.

The October meeting is a very important meeting to our membership. We hold our annual membership business meeting in October. You will hear updates on the status of our association and have a chance to ask questions and provide suggestions. Election of officers to the UMRA Board is also held at this meeting. Representatives from the U-M Human Resources office will provide an update on the retiree benefits program and answer questions from the audience. Members watching online will also be able to submit questions. The Learn & Grow session will feature Mike Widen from the U-M Recreational Sports Department. Mike will provide an update on recreational opportunities for retirees. All the same COVID-19 security measures, exactly like those followed at the September meeting, will be in place.

We also resumed our travel program in September with a tour of Detroit and a boat ride on the Detroit River. We had a wonderful time together. Details of that trip are provided elsewhere in this newsletter. The bus trip was at near capacity. Clearly, many of us missed the trips and sharing the connection with other UMRA members.

We are still looking for leaders to help us set up special interest groups (SIGs). These groups are intended to better connect our members with shared interests. If you have an idea for a group, please let us know by contacting UMRA@umich.edu. Some topics that have been suggested are hiking, biking, genealogy, history and talking with others who have lost loved ones. We just need some leaders to step forward to help with this project.

Growing our membership is a priority this year in order to have even more members participate in our activities. The best way to do this is to invite a friend or colleague you worked with at U-M, who is now retired, to join UMRA. Please try to do this.

Corny joke of the month: Why don’t you ever see elephants hiding in trees? Because they are really good at it.

Annual UMRA Business Meeting, led by Al Hermsen, UMRA President Benefits Update with Questions and Answers Brian Vasher, Director of Benefits Operations

Alanna Troup, Benefits Coordinate Intermediate November 11 The Recent History and Future Implications of White Nationalism in the US. Dr. Alexandra Minna Stern, Associate Dean LSA

Alexandra Minna Stern, Ph.D., is the Carroll Smith-Rosenberg Collegiate Professor of History, American Culture and Women's and Gender Studies; and associate dean for the Humanities, Office of the LSA Dean, University of Michigan. Her fields of study are health and society, reproductive politics, genetics and social justice. She directs the Sterilization and Social Justice Lab at U-M. Her latest book, Proud Boys and the White Ethnostate (2019), applies the lenses of historical analysis, feminist studies, and critical race studies to deconstructing the core ideas of the alt-right and white nationalism. Stern undertakes a deep dive into the genealogy of the alt-right, unearthing its forerunners and ideological touchstones, and mapping the current contours of the

movement by reconstructing its guiding concepts: reactionary notions of temporality, ethnocentric ideas of place and space, implacable biological essentialism, nationalism, and misogyny.

We strongly recommend that you are fully vaccinated and that you wear a mask and practice social distancing for all inside gatherings.

September 9 Learn & Grow Recap

September’s Learn and Grow proved to be the perfect launch to the new program year. Fall Bird Migrations presented by Dea Armstrong focused on birds migrating through Michigan. The audience included many birders who were eager to learn more about the timing of different migrations, as well as the final destinations in Central and South America. Armstrong’s talk did not disappoint. She detailed several different migrations paths highlighting small birds like hummingbirds and warblers to much larger birds like hawks and other predators. Migrations are timed by the sun/length of day, breeding and the need to reach breeding destinations and sources of food. She used the example of the eastern shorebird migrations that are

timed with when the horseshoe crabs lay their eggs. The speaker’s PowerPoint slides showing migration paths are on the Members Only section of UMRA’s website. Armstrong also commented on the Roseate Spoonbill recently spotted in Saline, Michigan. Interestingly, many Roseate Spoonbills were spotted well above their southern habitat. She explained the larger range may be due to an increase in their population, need for increased food supplies, and/or hurricanes that often push birds out of their natural habitat.

5 UMRA News October 2021

Armstrong also commented on the importance of natural habitat. Loss of habitat and the degradation of forests, wetlands, and breeding destinations are all having an impact on bird populations, as well as migration routes. The Q&A provided time for specific questions ranging from the types of feeders/food to bird behavior. The program ended with an answer to why there are so many turkeys in Washtenaw County. Many years ago, the State of Michigan decided to introduce turkeys to Michigan forests. Armstrong said, “you can now see that experiment was successful”. For those interested the following websites and apps were recommended.

• Cornell’s eBird app. Wikipedia describes the app and the Cornell Ornithology Program. • A book by Michael Kielb, John Swales and Richard Wolinski: The Birds of Washtenaw County • Washtenaw County Audubon Society and the Michigan Audubon Society

September 9 Seminar Recap UMRA launched the fall seminar program series on September 9 with a fascinating presentation on “The Future of Performing and Musical Arts, Post-Pandemic” by Matthew VanBesien, the current president of the University Musical Society and only the seventh president in UMS’s history.

While many in the audience may have thought this would be a somewhat depressing topic, VanBesien’s energetic talk highlighted UMS’s creative and innovative approach to last year’s programming. As everyone knows, concerts and performing arts programs in 2020 were almost universally cancelled. In spite of the challenges, the UMS staff were able to support artists by establishing zoom residencies, connecting the artists with faculty members and students in the School of Music and Performing Arts. UMS also engaged young and aspiring artists through fellowships to support their work. These combined initiatives sustained many individual artists and artistic programs during a year

that offered very few options. UMS expects this hugely important investment in a diverse and very talented group of new artists to yield dividends in performances and programs in the coming years. VanBesien also discussed the important legacy of the University Musical Society. During difficult times UMS was able to play a pivotal role in not just sustaining the musical and performing arts and artists but also took advantage of the time to innovate and expand their programs and audiences. He also described how they are using social media to engage a younger and more diverse audience. The talk highlighted not only the University Musical Society, but the importance of creative leadership during challenging times. The UMRA members in the audience left with a renewed sense of pride in the tradition and importance of the musical arts at U-M.

UMRA Day Trips

Day in the D

Sunshine and smiles graced the 49 UMRA members, family and friends who traveled to Detroit on Friday, September 17, for a guided tour of some of the most interesting and quirky spots in the downtown area. Our guide showed us many notable neighborhoods including Indian Village, the Heidelberg project, Parker’s Alley, Dan Gilbert's new landmark building on the site of the old Hudson's department store, General Ulysses S. Grant's home for the time he was stationed in Detroit from 1849-1851, Wayne State University, Belle Isle Conservatory and the new four season Oudolf Garden Detroit.

After a delicious 4-course Italian meal at Amore da Roma, Detroit’s oldest restaurant, our wonderful driver, Al, took us to Detroit’s Rivard Plaza to board

Diamond Jack’s River Cruise ship. High water prevented our getting under the Belle Isle Bridge, but we did have a beautiful sunny voyage down and up the Detroit River.

We even got to see the pylons that will support the new Gordy Howe bridge, which we are told

will be higher than the RenCen skyscrapers. We also spotted the spires of St. Anne de Detroit church, one of the sites we’ll visit on our November 4 Historic Churches trip.

Everyone was careful to be masked on the bus and delighted in being able to be together again on this most enjoyable UMRA day trip.

UMRA Reads—August & September Recaps & October Book

August Recap

UMRA Reads met on August 25 via Zoom to discuss the amazing book, The Woman Who Smashed Codes by Jason Fagone from the genre nonfiction-biography. The book tells the extraordinary story of Elizebeth Friedman who loved literature, words and poetry. She was excited about the possibilities of words and believed the alphabet to be a miracle.

As a young Quaker woman recently graduated from university, Elizebeth was hired by a wealthy eccentric to live on his estate and work at Riverbank Laboratories. It was there, while looking for secret messages thought to be hidden in Shakespeare’s plays, she

discovered she had “a marvelous talent.” This is also where she met and married William Friedman who became her partner in deciphering codes. Together, they were recognized as the power couple in modern cryptology.

She was enlisted by the Coast Guard to decipher coded messages. She accomplished this by hand and went on to develop methods to decipher secret codes throughout WW I, Prohibition and WW II. She helped catch gangsters and smugglers, exposed the Nazi spy ring in South America and cracked multiple versions of the Enigma machine in multiple languages. She set up teams, trained others, and wrote materials that helped develop and shape the modern intelligence community.

The group felt Jason Fagone did an outstanding job researching and documenting events and personalities, pulling together information from an enormous number of materials, and documenting this information by chapter at the end of the book. This research was made possible by Elizebeth, who was highly organized and preserved all of her own and William’s work at the Jackson Foundation, to be available and helpful to future generations of cryptanalysts and scholars.

We were excited to learn of Elizebeth’s role in these events and appreciated insights into the human side of Elizebeth and William’s life and relationship. Some welcomed the additional information about deciphering itself and the many ways to code. The group enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it to others.

September Recap

September’s selection was a historical nonfiction titled The Pioneers: The Story of the Heroic Settlers Who Brought the American Ideal West by David McCollough. This Pulitzer-Prize winning historian and writer offers an insightful look at the hardy and resilient individuals who settled the Northwest Territories. This book was sourced from the letters and journals of the people who were first to move west. These brave pioneers documented each step of an incredible adventure as it unfolded before them. From the process of gaining approval to use the land to incorporating cities of significant commerce.

Each of the 17 UMRA Readers shared their personal reactions to the history presented. It was a rewarding read for the history buffs in the group and left most with new knowledge about Northwest Territories and Ohio as it progressed toward statehood. The book starts with the creation of the Federal documents creating the

9 UMRA News October 2021

northwest agreement to allow New Englanders to settle in the future state of Ohio. This involved a lot of lobbying as the fledging new government of the United States was not entirely functional for this type of request. The “Ohio Company” was approved and set up as a corporation and set to run like a business with good planning behind it. The process to travel to Ohio though long and hard allowed for the group to bring the supplies they thought they would need. Establishing a city included housing lots, public areas, roads and farms. The group that went included people that could survey, build, farm and plan the city and surrounding area.

The book follows the development of the area and the travels of key people who instituted a legislature and founded other cities within Ohio. As the invasion of settlers moving west grew and the Native people were displaced, gruesome conflicts evolved resulting in political changes and ultimately, the War of 1812. Numerous notable people passed through the area during the lifetimes of the original settlers, including Johnny Appleseed, Aaron Burr and John Quincy Adams (after he was president).

Our discussion included additional information about the geography of the area, various Native peoples, the Toledo war and the genealogy of some of the participants with ancestors with connections to the founding and development of the area.

--Jim Bell, September Group Facilitator

UMRA Reads Science Fiction

October’s book selection comes from the Science Fiction genre. Dark Matter by Blake Crouch, is a book that thrills, horrifies and asks deep philosophical questions. It begins with Jason, a physics professor surrounded by his beloved wife, Daniela, and his teenage son, Charlie, cooking supper. He steps out to meet with a longtime friend, Ryan, who has been awarded a prestigious science prize. On his way home, Jason is abducted, after which life as he knew it shatters and he spends the rest of the book seeking to find the things he has lost, a journey that will force him to confront the darkest parts of himself even as he battles a terrifying, seemingly unbeatable foe. UMRA reads will discuss Dark Matter on October 27.

A complete list of meeting dates and monthly selections can be found on the UMRA website, Interest Groups. New members are welcome. Contact Sharon Grayden, grayden@umich.edu if you would like to join the group.
