US side for respect to the memory of Russian sailors.""In the years of the American Civil War, Russia unconditionally supported the Abraham Lincoln government as the only legitimate authority on the American land," Antonov noted. "The fate of Russian sailors who died during the Russian Navy voyage to the United States during the American Civil War and in the following years shows that our great powers have many in common in their history."Russia’s Military History Society jointly with the foreign and defense ministries identified the names of the Russian sailors and restored the memorial stone at their burial place.The 40-gun screw frigate Svetlana was built in France’s Bordeaux in 1856.

Yuletide celebration coming to Storrowton Village Museum - MassLive.com

Participating clubs and florists who deck out the village through their generosity and inspired ideas include: the Agawam, East Longmeadow, Wilbraham, Springfield and West Springfield Garden Clubs; Garden Club of the Westfield Woman's Club; Deena Rollet of Merry Mite Gardens in Suffield, Conn.; Anthony Gladu of West Springfield's Rose Petal & Thorn; Flowers by Webster; and the Eastern States Exposition Landscape Department.  "Many of these people have been decorating our village for years and are really familiar with its history and surroundings, so they know what they're doing when it comes to sprucing up the village for an old-fashioned holiday. I think what keeps them coming back is the fact that it gives them a chance to step outside what they do every day and to decorate for the past. They go out and gather natural things.....dried things.....that they wouldn't necessarily use all year long," Green said. "Visitors will see natural flowers and plants, and the natural decorations are usually very colorful and relaxing to see. Some folks will be creating garlands to go over the mantles and fireplaces in the village. We have one florist from Connecticut who will be doing a big Christmas tree in the Gilbert Parlor that will be decorated only with dried and other natural products. There are no electrical lights allowed in keeping with the period," she added. Greene noted that many visitors each year attend the event to see how they can incorporate natural materials into their home decorating and take those ideas back with them. It's Jessica Fontaine's first Yuletide at Storrowton as new director of the museum. "I'm very excited about this year's event. We have a lot of things that people have grown to love and expect over the years, as well as some new things, like the wonderful CactusHead Pup... http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2017/11/yuletide_celebration_coming_to.html

'No regrets': Longtime Sioux Falls florist leaves legacy of success - Argus Leader

Pat Gustaf, who owned and operated Gustaf's Greenery in Sioux Falls from 1986 until 2018, died Monday at age 67. Gustaf decided to close the Minnesota Avenue flower shop last year after battling renal cell carcinoma for two years. "No regrets. Truly no regrets at all," he told the Argus Leader in December. "I think we've made our mark on the world." Gustaf grew up on the north end of Sioux Falls and attended O'Gorman High School, according to his obituary. Early on, his love for flowers and plants was already flourishing: He began working at Earl May Garden Center in Sioux Falls while still in high school. After starting his own business at the Western Mall in the early 1970s, Gustaf and his sister Jean opened Gustaf's Greenery in 1986. "He was probably the most social person I ever met," Jean Gustaf said of her brother. More: Gustaf's Greenery flower shop closing after 42 years The Gustaf siblings used their respective skills in running their store. Pat, ever the social butterfly, handled the marketing and public-facing duties, while Jean, who worked as a nurse at the Veterans Administration, kept things going behind the scenes. "He'd say yes to everything. I'd say, 'No, we can't do that,'" Jean said, laughing. Gustaf's daughter, Karlee Bathke, echoed her aunt's sentiments. "He would make friends wherever we went because he wanted to know everyone’s story," she said. "He wouldn’t just make small talk; he truly connected with each and every person he met." Pat always valued spending time in his community, Jean said. In addition to running his own... https://www.argusleader.com/story/news/business-journal/2019/10/31/longtime-sioux-falls-florist-leaves-legacy-success-gustafs-greenery/2501479001/
