Today, I have a beautiful story to share with you here on the podcast. Amanda Stonesifer and Cheyenne Dillon entered each other's lives when Amanda's daughters entered foster care and were placed with Cheyenne in 2020. Cheyenne has always had a passion for building relationships with biological parents connected to the foster care community. What started as home visits transformed into a full-blown partnership and friendship. Today, Cheyenne is the adoptive parent of two of Amanda's daughters and the pair still have a strong friendship that involves support, sleepovers, attending church together, and long weekend visits. In our conversation, you'll hear how Amanda and Cheyenne have built connection and trust, the power of partnership in foster care, the assumptions many of us carry, and so much more. I really appreciated this episode and the respect Amanda and Cheyenne truly have towards one another, and I know you will too! Listen in!

Sarah Stonesifer Boylan gives a talk at the launch for Grace and Gigabytes by Ryan Panzer.

"To keep alert and to pay attention is our call to be aware of one another and what is going on in the greater world."What are you keeping alert and paying attention to in the world around us?//Mark 13:24-37“But in those days, after that suffering,the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light,and the stars will be falling from heaven, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken.Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in clouds’ with great power and glory. Then he will send out the angels, and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of heaven.“From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that he is near, at the very gates. Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.“But about that day or hour no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Beware, keep alert; for you do not know when the time will come. It is like a man going on a journey, when he leaves home and puts his slaves in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to be on the watch. Therefore, keep awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or at dawn, or else he may find you asleep when he comes suddenly. And what I say to you I say to all: Keep awake.”//This episode was written and recorded by Sarah Stonesifer-Boylan. It was produced by Rev. Jim Keat.

Written and researched by Ashley Carr Transcript: If you’re a young woman from a working class family from New Jersey in the years leading up to the outbreak of the Civil War, chances are, you would feel that growing tension, feel it about to burst, and want to do something about it. But for a woman, who has been told she has no use on the battlefield, and no voice in politics, options are limited. You could be a nurse, but, if you don’t have the stomach for gore, like Elizabeth Carter didn’t, you take up work on the home front.[1] Elizabeth moved to Erie, Pennsylvania to be a school teacher, working hard so she could send money back to her family in New Jersey, who depended on her. Amid the terror and freedom of being a young woman on her own in the world for the first time, she met the man who would become her husband, and a Brigadier General of the Union Army: Strong Vincent.[2]   A while into their budding relationship, Elizabeth and Strong were walking the streets of Erie together when man cat-called Elizabeth. We don’t know what was said, but we do know that Strong Vincent, her knight in shining wool uniform, punched him. Right in the face.[3]   The name “Strong” was a family surname before it was given to him.[4] But never was there a man more fit for it than Strong Vincent.   [patriotic, uplifting music]   Perhaps because of a powerful sense of patriotism, or perhaps because he was sick of sitting behind a desk at a law firm, Vincent enlisted into the 83rd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Regiment of the Union Army.[5] He and Elizabeth Carter married that same day, he packed his bag, and was gone.[6]   Sending off your brand new husband into what would become the bloodiest war in American history sounds debilitating, life altering, tragic. But, if you come from a working class family, and the men are off at war, you don’t have time to feel sorry for yourself. You keep going.   And so life went on in Erie without Strong Vincent, and the other men of the Pennsylvania 83rd. Elizabeth, now Mrs. Vincent, continued teaching. News of the war and of the daily life of battle trickled in.   Essentially alone once more, Elizabeth again experienced an exhilarating sense of freedom, this time underlined with the kind of dread that only work could distract from. So, she and the other women of Erie worked, volunteering to put together food, supplies, and clothing for the soldiers.[7] There was no reward for this, no glory, no recognition for the sacrifice of daily stability and what little money she and the other women had. But, they did it anyway.   Not long into their marriage, and, into the war, Elizabeth realized she was pregnant. She gave birth, alone, to a daughter, Blanche Strong Vincent, whose names, all three, were of her husband’s family, not her own. And she buried that child after less than a year of life, alone.   Of course, she did have the family of her new husband to keep her company, and the women of her community, but, when the people you most want near you are away, your husband, your own family, the presence of others can do very little.   [transition music]   We don’t have many letters written by Elizabeth or Vincent, but we do have records of what other soldiers wrote home. Some detailed the mundane and trivial of daily life; I got a tear in my uniform, or the sunset was beautiful today. Others were heavier; my friend just died, or I’ve been wounded, or tell the children I love them, though they may never see me again.   [sad music]   Two years into the war, Strong Vincent had been in and out of battle, and moved up the ranks to Lieutenant Colonel.[8] The infamous battle of Gettysburg loomed around the corner. At 26, Vincent had none of the youthful misconceptions of immortality left in him. In one letter to Elizabeth, just before Gettysburg, he wrote, “If I fall, remember you have given your husband to the most righteous cause that ever widowed a woman.”[9]   [“oh shit this is getting real” music]   What can you do when your husband tells you he might die? When you live in a world where you are nothing without your husband? When your only child died within a year of birth, your family cannot financially support you, and you are hundreds of miles away from being able to physically put your body in anyone else’s place?   You wait. You wait, and you pray, and you busy yourself with work. You try not to allow yourself to think of what you fear might happen, what you don’t dare to imagine, and what happens anyway.   Because the pain of being the one left behind is demanded of you. You must suffer gracefully, for surely others have suffered more in the name of your country.   Elizabeth didn’t know what happened in that fateful battle until days later, when she received word that her husband, fiery Strong Vincent, Colonel and commander of the brigade, had been mortally wounded in Gettysburg, had been shot just after giving a rallying speech to his men, standing on top of a rock.[10]   Elizabeth pieced together the story bit by bit.   Strong Vincent had intercepted an order that otherwise would have gone unfulfilled. His men had been marching for days to offer their support in the battle, many going long hours, and even days, without sleep, shoes torn to pieces, and precious little ammo left. The order Vincent intercepted was from Union General Meade, commanding another battalion to cover one crucial hill called Little Round Top. What the messenger and Meade did not know, though, is that that commander was not there yet to receive the order.   In one of Vincent’s most famous moments, he said, “I will take the responsibility of taking my brigade there.”   This hill, if surrendered to the Confederate Army, would have given a vantage point from which they could gun down the entirety of the Union’s forces. This was a matter of life and death, not just for Vincent and his men, but for the ideal of a free nation.[11]   His last words, just after he was shot, were “Don’t give an inch”.[12] And his men didn’t. The battle was won, and Vincent was moved to a hospital where he was treated for several days.   Union General Meade sent a telegraph to President Lincoln, petitioning him to promote Vincent to Brigadier General for his heroism at Little Round Top in Gettysburg.[13]Lincoln granted this request, and there is debate about whether Strong Vincent was conscious at the time his promotion was announced. He died soon after.     [funeral-ish music] To have buried a child and been widowed by the age of 24 is a tragedy few can imagine, and even fewer can endure. After the death of Strong Vincent in the battle of Gettysburg, historians don’t seem to have paid attention to Elizabeth, but her life did go on. Her husband’s service had bought her some social and financial security.   She lived, fulfilling the dream of the Union, peacefully existing in a nation of states that were once again united. Strong Vincent never got to see that. But Elizabeth did, and she lived it, for the both of them, and for their child who never got to grow up to see the reunited nation her father defended.   Elizabeth Carter Vincent lived until 1914. [14] She is buried next to Strong Vincent and their child in the Erie Cemetery, where to this day visitors place pennies on their headstones, Lincoln-side up, in remembrance of Strong Vincent’s sacrifice.[15]   [music]   The last line of a poem by Wilfred Owen reads “Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori”, which translates “It is sweet and honorable to die for your country.”[16] But, what we forget so often about so many wars is that it is sweet and honorable to live for your country, too.   [end credits music]   This episode of Hurstories was researched and produced by me, Ashley Carr.

In a special five-episode mini-season of Working, we talk with people who have had “second acts,” that is people who made a dramatic career pivot at some point in their working lives. Patty Stonesifer was running a computer-book publisher in Indianapolis when Microsoft recruited her to run its publishing division. In 10 years at the company, she rose to senior vice president of the Interactive Media Division—where one of the sites she launched was Slate. (Stonesifer is now married to the magazine’s founding editor, Michael Kinsley.) When she left the tech giant, Bill Gates recruited her to lead what became the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. After a decade there, she left to become the president and CEO of Martha’s Table, a Washington, D.C., nonprofit. She has also served as chair of the Smithsonian Institution Board of Regents, was appointed by President Barack Obama to lead the White House Council for Community Solutions, and is the lead director of the corporate board of Amazon.com.  Learn more about your ad choices.

GRP 39- On for this episode are two guest who I had two different conversations with. The first guest is SGT Bryce Mahoney. SGT Mahoney served from 2001 until 2007. He served with the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and E. Co 51st Infantry LRS (Long Range Surveillance). SGT Mahoney holds a Purple Belt in Royce Gracie BJJ, and is a father of 3. We discuss combative systems, his time deployed in combat, and a little politics. The second conversation I had is with Sikh Major Kamal Kalsi. Major Kalsi is a doctor, and entered the Army via a health Professions Scholarship Program. He comes from a long line of military service with members of his family serving in the Indian, British, and American militaries. Sikh’s have a strong warrior ethos’s, and history as warriors fighting oppression in they’re history. Below is an excerpt from my conversation with SGT Mahoney. John Hendricks: Can you share a war story, or something that stood out to you during your time in the military? Bryce Mahoney: Sound, and tradition, and things like that resonate. I was unfortunately present when Edmunds, and Stonesifer the first two Ranger casualties of the Global War on Terror were KIA. We were in Oman at this base. They got us all together, and brought they’re caskets through the hanger that we were all in. To have those two caskets there, and all of us reciting the Ranger Creed, there was this echoing of the Ranger Creed that was so intense. It was so resonating. Anytime I hear the Creed I can visualize being in that hanger, looking at those two caskets, and realizing that whatever I do its going to be so that they’re death’s are not in vain. Its something that’s stuck with me forever.
