How Nursing Home Administrators Make the Evacuation Decision
No full textThis paper was presented at the 2017 Louisiana Emergency Preparedness Association annual conference in Lake Charles, Louisiana on May 3, 2017. It is a summary of a doctoral dissertation on the evacuation of nursing homes during the approach of a hurricane. The presentation addresses two study purposes: 1) How do nursing home administrators make the decision to shelter in place or evacuate the residents to a safer location during the approach of a hurricane? and 2) What factors do nursing home administrators consider important when making the decision to shelter-in-place or evacuate the residents? The risk of sheltering-in-place and evacuating the residents are discussed. Demographic data are provided for the participants. The paper presents six factors nursing home administrators consider when making the evacuation decision and found the administrators rely upon their experiences with prior hurricanes to make the evacuation decision.Born digital

Dining Room Girl
No full textRocky Mountain National Park was just over 10 years old the rainy summer when a young woman from Fayette, Iowa, newly graduated from college with a degree in speech and English and a thirst for adventure, traveled across the country by train to work as a dining room girl at the Horseshoe Inn. This was the heyday of the romantic and majestic Horseshoe Inn, a rustic but genteel lodge situated in a grand meadow framed by towering peaks. Five years later, in 1931, the Horseshoe Inn was the first of the park's lodges to disappear in the effort to bring the park back to its natural state
Foster Cass
No full textPhotograph of Foster Cass taken in 2015. Foster Cass (Class of 1941) was born on February 6, 1919. He graduated from Upper Iowa University (UIU) in 1941 with a degree in math and business administration and a minor in history. Foster's family lived across the street from UIU where he and his brothers and sister attended college. During college, Foster joined the Pi Rho Zeta, national honorary fraternity, sang in the choir, wrote poetry, played football under Doc Dorman, and worked on campus to pay for books and tuition. He met his wife, Maxine Marion Duff, another UIU student, in the library.
World War II began in Europe while Foster was attending UIU. He knew he wanted to earn his degree before the Army drafted him. Foster was one of ten students to graduate from the pilot's training course at UIU in June 1941. As soon as he received his degree, Foster enlisted in the Navy where he became a commissioned officer, primarily serving as watch officer and communications officer on ships, including his time as a “plank owner,” a member of the first crew of the USS Fayette. Foster also had the honor to receive the telegram and announce the end of the war to his shipmates on the Ormsby. During his time on ships at sea, he traveled about 80,000 nautical miles. Foster has continued to support Upper Iowa University. Notably, he has sponsored the Foster Cass Archives Walk which highlights the history of the campus. In addition, he established the Foster Cass Foundation Student Scholarship in honor of his parents, Rev. Frank W. Cass and Carrie Jackley Cass, and family members who are UIU alumni: Edward J. Cass '38, Marjorie Swales Cass '39 and Betty Cass Hersey '43. The Cass family was the University's neighbor for many years, and there is a plaque commemorating the location on Union Street.[Title], Upper Iowa University Digital Archives, [Reference URL].
