Guest Lecture on "American Queen" in Utica, NY at the Roscoe Conkling home (3 Rutger Park)--May 3, 2015

Sponsor: City Winery, NY Textbooks only outline the key players of our socio-historical conflicts to better elevate their status and mythologize them within our ideological assumptions. This is what we called the "Grand Narratives." But what about the "little narratives"? The lives of those millions of people whose contributions have made the "Grand Narratives" possible but have been forgotten?

**ABOUT "Jean Arthur":**

https://www.wamc.org/post/biographer-discusses-actress-jean-arthur-after-plattsburgh-unveils-building-size-mural

I was pleased to cooperate with New York governor Andrew Cuomo's office in providing for a "Walk of Fame" plaque for Jean Arthur at the new Adirondacks Welcome Center to open near Lake George this fall (2018). The plaque, which looks like a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star, will be one of the initial plaques to recognize famous persons with connections to the Adirondacks region.

Jean Arthur (Gladys Georgianna Greene) was born in 1900 in Plattsburgh, New York, in the Adirondacks region, and also lived in Saranac Lake, near Lake Placid, as a child.

The new plaque will supplement the one placed in Plattsburgh in 2015 (see below).

While there, I stayed in the hotel in Cincinnati's beautiful old Art Deco skyscraper, the Carew Tower. This is the hotel's Palm Court, which looks like something out of a 1930s Hollywood movie.

Chase.
