Svenskarna hade nyss anlänt till USA och knappt hunnit rota sig eller lära sig språket. Ändå kom tusentals skandinaver att frivilligt slåss i det amerikanska inbördeskriget. De flesta på unionssidan.Trots språkliga hinder och kulturellt främlingskap drog tusentals skandinaver på sig uniformen. Allt ifrån tjänstlediga adliga officerare som Ernst von Vegesack till utvandrade meniga kavallerister som bröderna Gron från Småland deltog i kriget.Detta är det första av två avsnitt av podden Historia Nu där programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med journalisten och författaren Niclas Sennerteg, aktuell med boken Gettysburg – svenskarna som stred i amerikanska inbördeskriget.Det amerikanska inbördeskriget rasade mellan 1861 och 1865 och är det dödligaste kriget i USA:s historia, med över 750 000 döda. Konflikten bröt ut när elva sydstater bröt sig ur unionen i protest mot att Abraham Lincoln vann presidentvalet och farhågorna om att slaveriet skulle begränsas eller avskaffas. Nordstaterna ville bevara unionen och så småningom även avskaffa slaveriet, medan sydstaterna kämpade för självstyre och bevarandet av en slavbaserad ekonomi.Men kriget handlade om mer än slaveri. Det var också en kamp om ekonomiska intressen, statlig kontra federal makt och en djup kulturell klyfta mellan nord och syd.Tusentals skandinaver deltog i kriget, nästan uteslutande på nordstaternas sida. För många var beslutet att strida långt ifrån självklart. Dessa var människor som nyligen lämnat fattigdom och svält i Sverige för ett bättre liv – och nu stod de inför att riskera livet i ett krig vars orsaker ofta var komplexa och oklara för dem.Ändå drogs de med. Inte bara av plikten eller pengarna, utan av hopp, press och identitet. För vissa var det ett sätt att visa sin lojalitet mot sitt nya land, för andra handlade det om att motverka den växande främlingsfientligheten mot immigranter. Att slåss för unionen blev ett sätt att bevisa att man hörde hemma i det amerikanska samhället.Många svenskar värvade sig frivilligt. Ibland för att få medborgarskap, ibland för att få lön – men också av övertygelse. Slaveriets brutalitet var känd även i Sverige, och för vissa blev kampen mot detta system ett moraliskt kall. Men lika ofta var det praktiska skäl som avgjorde: att ha mat, få ett sammanhang, tjäna pengar eller helt enkelt följa sina kamrater.Det finns också belägg för att en mindre grupp svenskar stred för sydstaterna. De var oftast bosatta i sydliga delstater redan innan kriget och värvades lokalt. Deras motiv kunde variera: socialt tryck, lokal lojalitet eller rädsla att sticka ut. Men deras berättelser är långt färre och mindre dokumenterade än de som stred för unionen.Bildtext: Unionstrupper ur general William T.H.

Defiants have gotten quite a bit of press in the last year and CanardCast is continuing that trend as Terry interviews Vernon Asper, builder and owner of the Lycoming equipped Defiant N22VL based at KDKX in Knoxville. I met with Vernon last October at the Hangar Hotel in Fredericksburg, Texas as part of a gathering of Defiants. He had flown N22VL in to meet with five other Defiants we cobbled together in an attempt to break the known record of seven Defiants in one location set back in the early 1990's. At that event Vernon and I also joined a small party on a short ground excursion to the location of the Mooney Aircraft Factory location in nearby Kerville, Texas.  Born and raised in PA, Vernon later moved to both Hawaii and to Massachusetts to attend school then on to Mississippi to serve in his career an oceanographer. He has spent more than 1300 days at sea all over the world, including 20 trips to Antarctica and dives in 3 different submersibles.Vernon is well versed in academics holding the trifecta of a Bachelors from Messiah College of PA, a Masters from the University of Hawaii and Ph.D from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.Vernon's first introduction to flight was in Hawaii in 1979 and he began taking flight lessons in MA in 1980 where he earned is private pilot license. He pretty much only flies his Defiant except when a flight review instructor demands that he uses a school plane since his Defiant doesn't have rudder pedals on the starboard side. Vernon married in 1977 to Lindell who earned her license in 1984.  He has two Daughters and four granddaughters. Alicia with granddaughters Daphne and Penelope live in Belgium and Jennifer with granddaughters Maddie and Grayson who live in Knoxville, TN. Enjoy the interview!

When it comes to making the move to a senior living community, few stories are as engaging and instructive as that of Dick Stohr. Recently interviewed by Steve Gurney of the Positive Aging Community, Dick shared his candid experiences—from his distinguished military and professional career to his eventual decision, alongside his wife Beverly, to embrace life in a continuing care retirement community (CCRC) at Westminster at Lake Ridge in Northern Virginia.A Life of Service and ReinventionDick's journey began in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born, educated, and married. His early career saw him serve as a naval flight officer, flying P-3 aircraft and participating in historic missions, including Apollo astronaut recoveries. After a decade in the Navy, Dick transitioned to a career as a Department of Defense contractor, rising through the ranks to become a company president.But Dick's story is also one of creative reinvention. Inspired by a Parade Magazine article, he rekindled his childhood love of yo-yos, eventually launching a 19-year career teaching “Yo-Yo Fun and the Science of Spin” in schools and libraries. When educational enrichment programs waned, Dick found a new passion in woodturning, later expanding into knife and scissor sharpening with his brother—the “Snippy Bros.”The Decision to Move: Planning with PurposeLike many, Dick and Beverly postponed the decision to move to a senior living community, revisiting the idea every few years. However, in their mid-seventies, they resolved not to leave the burden of difficult decisions to their sons, as their own parents had. “We wanted to make the move when we could choose, not when the family had to drag us out,” Dick explained.Their search was thorough, spanning communities from Fredericksburg to Winchester and Arlington. The Stohrs prioritized a CCRC model that would provide seamless transitions between independent living, assisted living, nursing, and memory care—avoiding the disruption of moving between separate organizations as needs changed. Ultimately, the not-for-profit model and familial atmosphere at Westminster Lake Ridge stood out. “This community acts like a family,” Dick noted, highlighting the supportive environment and integrated care.Downsizing: The Emotional ChallengeAfter 35 years in their family home, the move was daunting. Dick emphasized the importance of “taking emotion out of the process,” coining the acronym “STUFF” for “Superfluous Things Underfoot Forever.” The couple used professional services to declutter, donate, and store items—though Dick admits some yo-yos and papers still linger in storage.Life at Westminster at Lake Ridge: Ten Years OnNow celebrating a decade at Westminster at Lake Ridge, Dick describes a vibrant life enriched by community and purpose. He found a woodworking shop and a tribe of fellow enthusiasts, continuing his passion for woodworking and helping others. The Stohrs value the support system, social connections, and peace of mind that come with living in a community that feels like home.Dick's story is a testament to the power of preparation, adaptability, and embracing new chapters with intention. For those considering a similar move, his advice is clear: plan ahead, involve your family, and focus on what truly matters—community, purpose, and peace of mind.Watch the recording https://www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com/videos/making-the-move-real-life-insights-into-life-plan-community-living

Rob drove down to Fredericksburg, Virginia for some late-season shad fishing. After the shad depart, the striped bass, spotted gar, and northern snakehead make their appearance. After parking at Falmouth Beach, Rob strides across the sand to the primary river channel, where he galavants above and below the Route 1 bridge. This bridge signifies the tidal fall line on the Rappahannock River. Two weeks later, Rob asks Misty to join him for more escapades. Will the stunning weather help? Should Rob fish a single fly or tandem rig? These are the waters Rob fished during his college years in Fredericksburg in the late 1990s. Misty remarks that there are no elephants or tigers for Rob to be concerned about. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this deeply personal birthday episode of the Resilient Heart Podcast, host Gabi returns after a four-month hiatus to share the profound lessons she learned during her 45th year. After facing a debilitating neurological illness that brought her to dark places she never expected to experience, Gabi vulnerably shares how this season of struggle became a catalyst for tremendous growth, clarity, and unexpected opportunity. From establishing healthier boundaries to creating intentional stillness, recognizing safe spaces, and discovering her role as a stage-builder for others, this episode offers powerful insights about resilience, purpose, and the courage to shed what no longer serves us. Gabi's journey demonstrates that sometimes our greatest challenges prepare us for opportunities we couldn't have imagined. Gabi is the founder of Resilient Voice Media, a podcast production company, and host of the Resilient Heart Podcast. After navigating significant health challenges including a neurological illness that led to suicidal thoughts, Gabi has emerged with greater clarity about her purpose and mission. A passionate advocate for women healing from trauma, she has recently been granted a license to host TEDx Fredericksburg and is expanding her business to include a podcast studio in downtown Fredericksburg. Gabi combines her personal experiences with professional expertise to create spaces where others can share their stories and heal, firmly believing that vulnerability and resilience can coexist. Key Topics Discussed: Setting Boundaries: How illness revealed where boundaries were needed and the process of implementing them The Shedding Season: Learning to evaluate relationships and move chess pieces based on reciprocity and safety Creating Stillness: Practical strategies for managing social media and content consumption for better mental health Safe Spaces: The importance of identifying who truly deserves proximity to your story and vulnerabilities Purpose Beyond Self: Discovering that sometimes our greatest purpose is building stages for others to shine Personal Transformation: How crisis became catalyst for clarity and new opportunities (TEDx, studio space) Self-Acceptance: Finding the balance between embracing change and honoring personal preferences The Power of Storytelling: How sharing your authentic story can literally save lives Powerful Quotes from the Episode "My boundaries being put into place... did not sit well with some people, and I had to be okay with that. And you have to be okay with that. You can't just let people bust through your shit." "The shedding season is really figuring out who's worth the pouring. That's what it is. It's who is worth the pouring. Who deserves it. Who needs more space in my life." "As you evolve and grow, shedding has to happen because if you are not shedding and growing and shedding and growing, then you're going to get really stagnant." "I realized... people got real comfortable with the way that I was and overstepping boundaries that I didn't set properly. And that kind of sucks to figure out." "Who is going to give me grace? Who's going to be mean to me or rude or read me to filth because I didn't show up the way they anticipated that I would? Those people move." "Are you a topic of conversation when you get up from the table? Are you allowing yourself to be disrespected in the name of wanting to be loved, searching for love, looking for worthiness?" "Sometimes we think the word we choose or the path we choose or the thing that we think is the thing. Sometimes it's for others and it's not for us." "What if your story is the one that saved somebody's life and you're sitting on it? Because you're in your ego... That person doesn't get saved."

The Midlife Pilot Podcast hosts the Big Texas Send fly in at T82 in Fredericksburg, TX and  lands with a thud (but "didn't dent the runway") at the gorgeous TAC Aero hangar. Ben, Brian, and Ted swap harrowing journey tales involving everything from Brian's "measured scud running" to Ted mysteriously ascending to 15,000 feet in a light sport ("Try a German-engineered plane built in Ukraine!"). While celebrating their adrenaline-junkie passenger Hope flying with Ted and  losing a bird-strike battle with Ted's wheel pants ("Suicidal Sparrow would be a good band name"), the crew raises their glasses to those who made the toughest decision of all—not flying. As Brian says about the fly-in pressure, "We never actually have to fly anywhere, ever...except for this Sunday because we don't have hotels anymore." Between "advanced VFR flying" (which apparently means "leave the day before") and zip-tie engineering miracles, episode 127 captures why aviation friendships are "like meeting family for the first time, except you like them."Locations Mentioned:TAC Aero - Tail wheel training academy at T82 in Fredericksburg, TX ("This is heaven, this is Tail Wheel Academy")Hangar Hotel - Aviation-themed hotel at T82Fredericksburg Brewery - Meetup location for the groupCooper's Barbecue - Lunch spot in LlanoLockhart BBQ - Another BBQ destination visited by attendeesAviation Resources:Checkmate Aviation - Custom checklists offered by Barry (including the upside-down emergency checklist)Freedom Aviation Network - Anti-human trafficking organization supported by the podcastThanks To:Chris and the TAC Aero teamHope from the Hangar Hotel (the adrenaline junkie who survived Ted's wheel pants departure)Erica Gilbert for her weather briefingsRichard (Yankee 88) for his safe no-go decision ("congratulations on not flying here")Mike (Alpha Golf) for his safe no-go decisionLouis for his safe aircraft choice (opting for A/C over his shiny new Carbon Cub)Get Connected:Midlife Pilot Podcast Patreon - Join for $1/month or $12/year ("Friends with Benefits program")Email: midlifepilotpodcast@gmail.comWebsite: midlifepilotpodcast.comLive on YouTube Mondays at 8PM Eastern (or "sometimes in Texas at weird times")Words of Wisdom: "Real pilots use the rudder.

Welcome back to another Six Figure Friday episode of Secrets of a Bridal Seamstress! This week, we're diving into a topic that fuels everything from your logo to your Instagram captions: your brand essence.So… what exactly is brand essence, and how does it differ from your mission statement?

In this episode, I'll walk you through simple, reflective questions to help you define what your brand essence truly is—and how to let it guide your marketing, your messaging, and your studio's entire experience.We'll talk journaling prompts, real-life examples, and how your brand essence is the key to trust, client retention, and clarity in your business.

Simplicity, focus, community, and legacy. These are some words that I feel apply to the steady and excellent service of Hyperion Espresso these last 30 years of operation. When you can measure your business in decades and look back with pride and a full heart, you now you have crafted something lasting and valuable. Today we are going to explore the story of Hyperion Espresso in Fredricksburg, VA w/ co-founder Ana Brugos Born in Madrid, Spain Ana got a degree in Advertising at Universidad Complutense. Moved to Seattle, WA to study art in 1992. She met Dan Peterson and, with his friend Steve Sollien, decided to move to Fredericksburg, VA to open a coffee shop, Hyperion Espresso, in 1994. Dan and Ana married that fall. After 5 years, Steve moved west while Dan and Ana continued and grew with the business. Over the years they expanded the seating and serving area, tried a satellite location that didn't work, increased revenue as the area developed. In the last 20 years they were able to detach somewhat from the business thanks to GM, Amanda Jones.  In 2024, after successfully overcoming set backs like lack of employees and economic downturns, particularly COVID 19, they sold Hyperion Espresso to Jack Scholl owner of Roadmap Coffee.  I am thrilled to get to look back in time with Ana and Amanda and learn what great things can be accomplished when you have clear focus and a simple goal to serve you community well! We discuss: How Hyperion was born Cultural Influences on Coffee Community Building and Customer Engagement Transitioning Roles and Responsibilities Core Values and Business Ethos Navigating Industry Trends and Changes Creating a Unique Customer Experience Focusing on Core Offerings Building a Strong Team Culture Navigating Employee Dynamics Sustaining Passion and Community Engagement Links: www.hyperionespresso.com   Related episodes:
