N.B. I have just now noticed that I have misspelled Vaughan's name in the file name. Shall I correct it?

I fixed it for you, Kevin - both on the server and in your post above.

Hi Kevin, Thank you for this contribution to vol. 078! I don't think you misspelled "vaughan" in the file name, but Craig can double check us both. (As a matter of general practice, yes, I would correct a misspelled name.)

Hi Sue. I fixed the filename behind the scenes as noted above.

Thanks Kevin

I had monitors at the first college I went to and then lived in an apartment in the second college. They were okay.

I was a housemaster for six years at a private boarding school.

Wow Kevin. Did you use corporal punishment?

Hi James, Welcome to the Nonfiction Collection! Thank you for this informative summary of Henry Ford's life, published by the Edison Institute, associated with the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village. There are some nice photos accompanying the text.

The publication has a copyright date, which you mention in your recording (1964), but it also has been certified as being in the Public Domain by Gutenberg, which is your source. LibriVox accepts Gutenberg's public domain certification, so unless Jo, our metacoordinator, has any other thoughts, I am accepting Henry Ford: Highlights of His Life as the final selection for vol. 078. (I just wish that Gutenberg would provide proof that the Edison Institute had relinquished copyright in this instance.)

You have an interesting bio. My sister and I had a pet white rabbit as kids, but we never walked it on a leash...

[Sue Anderson]

To all: Happy Thanksgiving! As it seems we have filled up vol. 078, and many of us may be home today with free time to do some recording, I'll post vol. 079 shortly.

Vol. 079 is now available on the New Projects Launch Pad

Thanks for the biography of Henry Ford James

Nicely read and welcome to Librivox


a few small errors noted:


5:35 he made his first model gas engine. You forgot to say model

11:12 Albert Strelow, a contractor; John S. Gray, a banker; Vernon E. Fry, a real estate dealer; Charles H. Bennett, an air rifle manufacturer; C. J. Woodhall, a clerk; Horace H. Rackham and John W. Anderson, lawyers; and Henry Ford. You said Horace R Rackham and Jay Anderson

18:16 The products of these mills and plants flowed into the assembly lines not only at the Rouge plant but at other assembly plants scattered all over the world. I heard flowered

Wow Kevin. Did you use corporal punishment?

The 'monitors' could assign work assignments, but most everything was sent to my attention. A housemaster's work was mostly persuasive, though I did confine a malingerer to bed after his missing a day of class. He was very game for attending a dance that night, but I assured him that his health was more important.

[soupy]

That's not too bad for six years Kevin

Get to bed

Hi James, I'm going to add one more edit to those Craig has mentioned. Would you please cut the words "Copyright 1964" from your recording. The copyright date will be noted in the LibriVox data base, but it does not need to be in your recording, where it might confuse listeners. Copyright on the museum pamphlet lapsed when copyright was not renewed.

This is my first and probably last submission to Short Nonfiction Collection.

If a group of you want to bicker about what corrections need to be made or not made on a submission, I suggest that in the future you have a side bar about it and have one person present required and/or suggested changes as a single post.

This submission represents almost 6 hours of work, and I am not going to try and satisfy the changing whims every person who wants to make suggestions.

You may publish as presented, edit it yourselves or delete it.

I am taking this post off of my notification alerts, do whatever you want.
