[ha-Safran]: World War II Navy veteran
I'd like to ask your help as librarians. I'm writing a book with a World War II reference, and I am researching the role of a torpedo officer on a Navy destroyer. Does anyone know of a World War II veteran still living who might have served on a destroyer and could describe for me the duties of a torpedo officer, where he was on the ship, especially in relation to the gun director? I would be grateful if anyone could put me in touch with a v Anna Olswanger -- Anna Olswanger, Literary Agent Liza Dawson Associates 350 Seventh Avenue, Ste. 2003 New York, NY 10001 Direct tel.: +1-201-791-4699 www.Olswanger.com www.ShlemielCrooks.com www.Host-a-Jewish-Book-Author.com Messages and opinions expressed on Hasafran are those of the individual author and are not necessarily endorsed by the Association of Jewish Libraries (AJL) === Submissions for Ha-Safran, send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUBscribing, SIGNOFF commands send to: Listproc @ lists.acs.ohio-state.edu Questions, problems, complaints, compliments;-) send to: galron.1 @ osu.edu Ha-Safran Archives: Current: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/maillist.html History: http://www.mail-archive.com/hasafran%40lists.acs.ohio-state.edu/history.html AJL HomePage http://www.JewishLibraries.org
Re: [ha-Safran]: Subject heading
Dear Margot, I encourage you to go consider establishing the disengagement from Gaza as a subject heading as Aaron suggests. If your institution is not an independent PCC member and thus not a member of SACO, may I recommend that your institution join the Judaica SACO Funnel. We would welcome the contributions from the Simon Wiesenthal Center of which I am sure that there could be potentially many unique and important subject heading contributions from which we could all benefit and use. If you do consider joining the funnel please feel free to contact me and I can outline the steps for you. You can also take a look at the SACO website at http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/saco/saco.html.

[ha-Safran]: The Passover Humor Files
Hi Everyone! I posted on my website 50 Passover humor files. They range from funny jokes and stories to song parodies. You may want to print several of them before Passover and distribute copies to your family and guests between the seder meal courses. Both kids and adults will find them entertaining (and sometimes educational). The humor files are located at: http://www.jr.co.il/humor/passover.htm The files include: - The Computer Engineer's Haggadah - The Dr. Seuss 4 questions - An Adam Sandler Passover - Seder Pickup Lines - Halachik Issues for Peisach - Exodus of the 3 Stooges - Passover Story by The New York Times - Passover Song (tune of Hotel California) - Passover Songs (Beatles Paradoy) - The Plague Song (tune of This Old Man) - Pharaoh, Pharaoh (tune of Louie, Louie) - Pesach Macarena (tune of Macarena) - Those Were the Plagues (tune of Those Were the Days) - The Ten Plagues (tune of Adams Family) and many more...
