Podcasts about great lakes naval station

In 1911, the U. S. Navy opened the Naval Training Station, Great Lakes, on the shore of Lake Michigan.  During the First World War, about 125,000 sailors trained there.  Later, during the Second World War, approximately one million naval personnel learned their skills at Great Lakes.  These included thousands of aviators, who practiced takeoffs and landings on three aircraft carriers that floated on the lake.  Join James as he narrates the exciting early history of Naval Station, Great Lakes and the Great Lakes Fleet.

As the 1918 influenza pandemic tore its way across the globe, the damage it caused went hand-in-hand with the ongoing combat of World War I. The massive mobilization of troops from around the world provided the perfect conditions for the disease to spread. And with the need to keep sending troops to the trenches, and to keep morale up on the home front, efforts to slow the spread were hampered. In episode three of The Healthiest City podcast, Christina Grev and Katie Bischof discuss how, in the midst of war, the flu made its way into Milwaukee. Ports up and down America's coasts had become hotspots, sending and receiving floating petri dishes filled with sailors to and from Europe. When the pandemic hit the Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois that September, sailors going on leave almost immediately introduced the disease to Milwaukee for the first time.

On this episode of Real Estate for Breakfast, host Phil Coover is joined by President of James McHugh Construction Company Michael Meagher. Many of the buildings that make up the Chicago skyline were constructed by McHugh, including the Vista Tower, which is now the third tallest building in Chicago. Phil and Mike discuss what it was like to build the Vista Tower during the pandemic and how COVID-19 has impacted the construction industry, from material shortages and labor challenges to enhanced safety protocols. In addition, they discuss the 100 Club of Chicago, which provides much needed immediate relief and support to the families of deceased first responders. Michael Meagher is directly responsible for the overall strategic direction and vision fulfilment for James McHugh Construction Co. Additionally, he reports to the Board of Directors of McHugh Enterprises. He oversees all general contracting activities and associated operations. Starting in the industry as a summer worker for four consecutive years, Meagher took an immediate liking to jobsites and seeing a project from start to completion. Immediately out of college he was hired at James McHugh Construction Co, as an estimator with the company. For over 30 years he exemplifies the company culture of loyalty, promoting within and client satisfaction. He works closely with the company’s senior management team in developing accountable project teams that are empowered to make decisions on the project site to eliminate bureaucracy and provide a seamless project experience. Eliminating obstacles and providing support to project teams is a cornerstone of the management teams’ approach.Meagher is dedicated to maintaining strong working relationships with clients, ensuring that McHugh’s storied reputation for delivering quality construction solutions is upheld.As part of his successful strategy of building lasting client relationships and staying on the cutting edge of construction trends, Meagher has led McHugh’s development of a long-term partnership with the U.S. Navy at its Great Lakes Naval Station. He spearheaded the company’s design-build efforts for the $62 million MCPON Plackett Manor Bachelor Enlisted Quarters, whose success spurred the Navy to designate it as a prototype for design-build programs. Since then, Meagher also led a McHugh team to its creation of a design-build program for the Navy’s cutting-edge Battle Stations 21 training simulator.Meagher has been with McHugh his entire post-collegiate career, starting as an assistant project engineer/estimator, responsible for quantity and labor estimates for rehabilitation and interior projects. He then became a project manager, overseeing retail, office, and healthcare projects. Later, Meagher was asked to set up and manage a marketing department for the firm. As business development manager, he developed target markets and led sales and marketing efforts focused on large, complex construction projects, often in the $100 to $500 million range. Meagher became an officer of the firm in 1997.During this time, McHugh recognized the potential for great opportunities overseas and construction offices were established in Moscow, Russia and Prague, the Czech Republic. From Chicago, Meagher directed the Eastern European sales and marketing efforts, earning their first major client, Boeing Commercial Aircraft Group. He then helped develop a stand-alone sales and marketing office in Eastern Europe. Although the company concluded its Moscow operations because of a failing Russian economy, it maintained many of the corporate relationships Meagher helped build.Meagher also spearheads corporate goodwill efforts for McHugh, including the firm’s pro bono construction of the Special Olympics Eternal Flame of Hope Memorial, Ford Heights Little League Baseball Field, and the Chicago Youth Program headquarters. He has served as chairman on the Board of Trustees of his alma mater, St. Mary’s University of Minnesota, the board of Catholic Charities of Chicago, and Chicago Police Memorial Foundation.

Kathryn shares her author journey. When she was as a large conference, she initially began doubting herself and whether she belonged. Fortunately, Kathryn's supportive community reminded her that she belonged there as much as anyone else. She shares these powerful nuggets of life wisdom: - we are all interconnected - we cannot control what will happen in our lives, but we can control who we will be afterwards - embrace the opportunities that are put in front of you - be open to listen to options - you CAN teach an old dog new tricks - embrace the fear - life is change - believe you can do it - accept the help that is offered to you Kathryn Taylor was born at the Great Lakes Naval Station near Chicago, Illinois and spent much of her life in the Chicagoland area. When she entered first grade, reading came easily. She became a voracious reader. The highlight of her week was heading to the library where she could bring home a healthy stack of books. She could devour a Nancy Drew or a Trixie Belden or an entire family of Bobbsey Twins in a single sitting. Decades before terms such as “peer tutoring” and “collaborative learning” had been coined, her teacher had an inspiring idea. She would allow Kathryn to assist classmates struggling to decode those pesky letter combinations and help them learn to read. She experienced an undeniable sense of fulfillment helping her classmates and licking gold stars onto completed pages. The desire to become a teacher took root. She spent thirty years in the classroom and had taught in Illinois, California, and Virginia before retiring to South Carolina. It was there where the seeds for a book of her own took root. Two Minus One: A Memoir followed the unexpected abandonment by her second husband. She remains an avid reader, enthusiastic traveler, and incurable beach lover.  Her rescue dog, Lucy, and Kathryn live outside of Charleston, SC, which affords her the opportunity to enjoy all three. https://kathryntaylorbooks.com/  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbTEnpgOJAdj-3W6HLLosuQ  https://www.instagram.com/kataylor15/  https://www.amazon.com/Two-Minus-One-Kathryn-Taylor/dp/1631524542  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathryn-taylor-143ba4145/  https://www.pinterest.com/KathrynTaylorAuthor  https://twitter.com/ktaylorauthor  https://www.facebook.com/KathrynTaylorAuthor/  tags: Kathryn, Taylor, writer, author, Two, Minus, One, Charleston, SC, storiesthatempower.com, story, stories, that, empower, empowering, empowerment, inspire, inspiring, inspiration, encourage, encouraging, encouragement, hope, light, podcast, Sean

Kathryn's spouse abandoned her and just walked out. She experienced the following: loss of clarity, felt debilitated, was isolated, felt shame and lack of worthiness. So, she journaled. A friend came to her rescue and "saved her life" by empowering her and reminding her that she is better than this and stronger than this. Kathryn shares these wonderful nuggets of life wisdom: - each of us has a vast amount of untapped strength - we have the ability to remodel and reshape our lives, if we are willing to work hard and persevere - asking for help is not weakness, but rather a sign of strength - let's take stock of what we are facing and what we need; then seek someone that can guide us to get us through it - we are not alone Kathryn Taylor was born at the Great Lakes Naval Station near Chicago, Illinois and spent much of her life in the Chicagoland area. She is a retired teacher and had taught in the schools of Illinois, California, and Virginia before her retirement and relocation to South Carolina. It was there where she wrote her book, Two Minus One: A Memoir following the unexpected abandonment by her second husband. An avid reader, enthusiastic traveler, and incurable beach lover, she resides outside of Charleston, SC, which affords her the opportunity to enjoy all three of her favorite past times.
