Oral History Interview with R. M. Smith
No full textThe National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Robert Smith. Rather than speak about his own role in the Flying Tigers, Smith discusses some of the unsung heroes of the unit. He praises the Chinese-American engineers and the chief of engineering, Bill Schaper. He recalls that Schaper bravely volunteered to go to Rangoon to help repair planes, and that he was the last one to evacuate the area. Smith also discusses the perils of flight training and the tremendous discipline it took to be a Flying Tiger
Emma Smith, Oral History
No full textThis is a video recording of an oral history interview with Marie Emma Smith. It was conducted on May 25, 2007 in her home. The interviewer is Glenn Gainer.
In this interview, Emma Smith discusses life in the Philippines, and living under Japanese occupation during World War II. She also talks about her journey to America, and building her life here.
Emma Smith was born on March 1, 1930, in Manilla, Philippines, in a Chinese hospital. Her father was American and her mother was Spanish. Smith and her siblings were raised in the Catholic Church.
When Japanese occupation of the Philippines began in 1941, Smith’s father was imprisoned in an internment camp. Because of her mother’s Spanish citizenship, Smith and her siblings were allowed to continue to live in their home. They ate fruit from their own trees and sold various items to survive.
In July 1945, following Japanese occupation, Smith and her family left for the United States. They settled in Quinlan, Texas. Smith graduated from high school in 1947 and married her husband in 1948. They raised five children together.https://lair.etamu.edu/scua-oral-history-all/1003/thumbnail.jp

On the cohomology of joins of operator algebras
No full textThe algebra of matrices M with entries in an abelian von Neumann algebra is a C*-module. C*-modules were originally defined and studied by Kaplansky and we outline the foundations of the theory and particular properties of M. Furthermore, we prove a structure theorem for ultraweakly closed submodules of M, using techniques from the theory of type I finite von Neumann algebras.
By analogy with the classical join in topology, the join for operator algebras A and B acting on Hilbert spaces H and K, respectively, was defined by Gilfeather and Smith. Assuming that K is finite dimensional, Gilfeather and Smith calculated the Hochschild cohomology groups of the join.
We assume that M is the algebra of matrices with entries in a maximal abelian von Neumann algebra U, A is an operator algebra acting on a Hilbert space K, and B is an ultraweakly closed subalgebra of M containing U. In this new context, we redefine the join, generalize the calculations of Gilfeather and Smith, and calculate the cohomology groups of the join
