*Stories from the Mill Hill – story request

To:  GTHS Members & Friends:
 
Mark Stewart of Monaghan/Parker fame has begun a collection of “Stories from the Mill Hill” with hopes of publishing the collection in the near future.  Please take time and forward some of your (memories) stories to Mark as he has taken on this project that is long overdue.  We will also be able to include some of the accounts in the upcoming GTHS Newsletter and on the soon to be revamped GTHS website. 
 
There’s yet so many untold stories that we must collect before many of  our elders pass on.  So, if you have friends or families members who are not comfortable with writing, why not help them in formulating some of those wonderful stories from the past. We are interested in all aspects of life on the mill hill…. from the spiritual, social, athletics, mill operations right on down to shooting marbles.  Let your mind run wild back to those earlier years when life was so much simpler and let’s leave these treasured memories for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
 
Please help us in this regard and forward your stories (long or short) to Mark Stewart  at hisstew24@wmconnect.com
 
Thanks,
 
Don Harkins
Greenville Textile Heritage Society

*’Archives of Babel’ exhibition reception Friday 30 October 4-6pm

     “The Archives of Babel” at Furman University’s Special Collections and Archives cannot, obviously, house a complete collection of works in every language.  However, Special Collections and Archives does contain a surprising array of materials written both in and about a variety of languages.  With this exhibition, we hope to display a small and diverse sampling of materials featuring different languages and with varying dates of origin.  Understanding language to be an effort at communication or articulation that is bound by context, we aim to broaden notions of language to include non-traditional forms, including music, film, and visual media.  If humankind failed to attain infinitude in height or in a universal discourse, we have very nearly achieved it through the breadth, depth, and diversity of language.

Open through January 22, 2010
Reception Friday, October 30 from 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Introduction to the exhibition at 4:30 PM
