This interview with Jean Hansen was recorded by Martha Mercer on April 2, 1993 in Mrs. Hansen\u27s home. The main topic of the interview revolves around Mrs. Hansen\u27s experiences marrying an American GI in the United Kingdom during World War II and moving to the United States. The interview begins with Mrs. Hansen talking about her and her husband’s decision to move to America, and the support they received from their families. She talks about her experiences adjusting to the weather in Mobile, and the extent to which she had to adjust to cultural differences. Mrs. Hansen also discusses becoming a naturalized American citizen in 1951, and the emotional impact of that decision. She describes some of her experiences taking return trips to England. The interview concludes with Mrs. Hansen ruminating on whether she ever consider moving back to England, and how her immigration has impacted her sense of home.
This interview is part of a collection of three audio cassette recordings and one written interview that Martha Mercer conducted with white World War II war brides from the UK and Australia in 1992-93. Mercer undertook the project for her master’s thesis in History, “British Brides, American Wives: The Immigration and Acculturation of War Brides in Mobile, Alabama, 1945-1993,” which she completed at the University of South Alabama in 1993

The collection also contains materials related to Gehman’s involvement in American Better Health Publications, American Vegetarian-Hygienist, Health and Strength magazine and the Natural Living Foundation Internationale from the 1920s-1960s. Gehman’s material also includes personal family photographs, and a small number of newspaper clippings, postcards, colored slides, negatives, and correspondence. Doris Doscher Baum was a leading female journalist, model and actress whose work centered on physical culture and naturopathy. Doris’s materials include articles and photographs on stretching exercises, photographs from her career as a model and film actress in the 1920s, and family photographs.

Economic Contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport
No full textIn 2016, the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service group (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University prepared the second Economic Impact Report of the Trenton Mercer Airport (commissioned by Mercer County’s Office of Economic Development and Sustainability). It follows and expands upon a preceding study conducted for Mercer County’s Division of Economic Development in November 2006.
This study analyzes the contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) to the Mercer County economy using the following direct sources of economic activity:
•Airport operating expenditures: These mainly account for the people employed to administer and operate the Airport. Operating expenditures also create jobs supported by the purchasing of supplies and materials, as well as spending on contractual services and utilities.
•Capital investments: These are made to improve the Airport’s facilities and support local jobs. Note that capital investments are not perpetual, thus their economic impacts only occur when improvement projects take place.
•Tenant expenditures: The sum of all the spending incurred by airport tenants to operate their respective businesses. This formula only includes tenants that provide aviation services or provide goods and services to airport users.
•Visitor expenditures: These account for the in-county spending by visitors arriving at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Visitor spending not only supports airport jobs, but also retail and tourism-related employment.
By applying the R/ECON™ Input-Output model to the direct sources of airport-related spending listed above, we estimate the total economic impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) for Mercer County. The model expresses the resulting jobs, income, and wealth impacts in various levels of industry detail.
The current study is designed to inform operation strategies and establish a common base of knowledge from which long-range plans and initiatives can be developed. Additionally, this report includes a thorough property value analysis, which examines the extent to which proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport is correlated with the value of area properties
