Interview With Vi Overholt in the Sawdy District
No full textNotes - Vi Overholt was adopted by Harry and Mabel Overholt in 1923. The Overholt's ran the post office in the Sawdy District, east of Athabasca. Vi recalls attending Youngville School as a child, which was a half mile walk away. She also remembers playing with children on Saturdays when parents came to the post office to pick up their mail. Vi married the Overholt's nephew, Walter Overholt. Mrs. Overhalt recalls swimming in the Athabasca River as a teenager, and attending dances and Christmas concerts at the Sawdy Hall, which was opened in 1923. Before the hall, people hosted community functions in their homes. Children played games such as fox and goose as well as baseball, with the older ones helping to teach the younger ones. Class sizes could be quite large, with 36 being the smallest, a direct result of the large family sizes living close by. Diet consisted mainly of meat in the winter, mostly moose and deer, sometimes pork. Meat was frozen in winter, or canned or pickled in brine in the spring. Sandwiches were taken to school, sometimes fruit. Food was carried in a lard pail, and was often frozen by the time the children arrived at school. Milk and cream from cows was used as money to buy groceries. Harvest was a community event, many neighbours would come to assist with the threshing. Women would provide food and neighbours would provide machinery and labour. Mrs. Overholt was reunited with her birth mother, sister and brother in the 1930s. She learned that her mother had been paying board for her to stay at The Salvation Army, and that she had been taken without her mother's consent (11 pages

Injective hyperbolicity of domains
No full textAbstract. The pseudometric of Hahn is identical to the Kobayashi-Royden pseudometric on domains of dimension greater than two. Thus injective hyperbolicity coincides with ordinary hyperbolicity in this case. 1. Introduction. The Kobayashi pseudodistance d M and KobayashiRoyden pseudodifferential metric K M of a complex manifold M are defined by means of extremal problems for holomorphic mappings of the unit disk D into M . By restricting to injective holomorphic mappings in these extremal problems, one arrives at a pseudodistance τ M and a pseudodifferential metric S M respectively. These were considered first on plane domains by Si
Linear Problems For The Schwarzian Derivative (rigid Domain).
No full textIn this thesis we consider the set U of Schwarzian derivatives of all univalent holomorphic functions in the unit disk, as a subset of the Banach space of holomorphic functions with finite hyperbolic sup-norm of weight The concept of local extreme point of U is defined, and it is shown, using subordination, that if the Schwarzian derivative S(f) of f is a local extreme point of U, then f cannot omit an open set. For isolated points of U we show that f cannot omit a set of positive measure. This follows from the fact that the complement of an arbitrary rigid domain in the sense of Thurston, has zero measure. The proof uses an existence theorem for holomorphic Lipschitz functions due to Nguyen Xuan Uy. We also consider the support points of U, and show by examples that there are support points that omit open sets, and so U has support points that are not extreme points.PhDMathematicsPure SciencesUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
