Distinguished American Statesman, 60th US Secretary of State George P. Shultz, Dies at 100 |
|

Stanford, CA...One of the most consequential policymakers of all time, having served three American presidents, George P. Shultz died Feb. 6 at age 100. Remembered as one of the most influential secretaries of state in our history, Shultz was a key player, alongside President Ronald Reagan, in changing the direction of history by using the tools of diplomacy to bring the Cold War to an end. He knew the value of one’s word, that “trust was the coin of the realm,” and stuck unwaveringly to a set of principles. This, combined with a keen intelligence, enabled him to not only imagine things thought impossible but also to bring them to fruition and forever change the course of human events.

Robert F. Bach 1939 - 2021 Educator, Coach & Superintendent |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/01/2021 12:55 PM
|
Angels Camp, CA...Robert “Bob” Bach was born, Jonathan Moses Ford, on November 21, 1939, in La Fallotte, Tenn. He was one of eight children of John and Elsie Ford. In 1940, the family came to California and settled in Melones here in Calaveras County because of employment opportunities in the Carson Hill Mine. In 1942, a fire swept through the mine destroying all of the facility and the mine ceased operation. The Ford family continued to live for a while in Melones but eventually moved to San Andreas and settled into a little house located behind the current town hall. It was there that the family came in contact with Rev. Fred Bach and his wife Anna, who would come to the house and encourage the children to attend Sunday School at the community church. In 1945, Elsie Chadwell was killed in a car accident and John Ford, fearing the responsibility of raising all the children himself disappeared. The County of Calaveras moved the family into a little house located in the old jail yard while plans for their future could be determined. Some of the family members were old enough to go out on their own, other family members cared for some, but Jonathan Moses Ford was adopted by Rev. and Mrs. Fred Bach, in January of 1946. He received the name, Robert Bach, and not only got a new family, but was introduced to a new way of life in the home of a minister and teacher.

Washington, DC...When I watched Henry Aaron play baseball, I knew I was watching someone special. It wasn’t just about watching a gifted athlete master his craft on the way to a Hall of Fame career as one of the greatest to ever play the game. It was that each time Henry Aaron rounded the bases, he wasn’t just chasing a record, he was helping us chase a better version of ourselves.
