The small mountain town of Leadville, Colorado has its own one-man welcome wagon. He’s volunteered his own time for four years, greeting those driving through, and how he does it captures everyone’s eye. “My name is Jim Duke, and I am the official town greeter,” he says. He wears a long tail coat, a top hat and sports an impressive gray beard. “I go out and meet people on the street, and welcome them into town,” Duke says. “I let them know they’re family.”Duke says he dresses up as someone would back in the 1800s, to give more character to the town. “Really, my favorite part about doing all of this is to bring a smile to people’s faces,” the greeter says. “I’m not just some nut out here. I love the town. I was the unofficial town greeter, until the mayor named me the official greeter three years ago.”Duke said he does this because he wants people to love the town and see what he sees. “I see beauty, I see the people and I see love in this town,” Duke says. In a world filled with screens, there seems to be a lot of disconnect among each other. Duke believes just smiling and saying hi to one another can help build that bridge between each other that we often forget can exist. He has also gathered a lot of attention in the small town and will be cast in a film titled ‘Royal Flush by 1314

This week is the end of an era at the Warren Tech Center in Michigan. A man who has worked there for more than 67 years will say goodbye to co-workers as he retires. The UAW says Elmer Zurakowski is the highest seniority hourly employee in the all of General Motors. Mr. Zurakowski stopped at his local UAW hall before coming in to work on Wednesday. There they showed him a plaque made for him by his co-workers celebrating a more than 67-year-long career. “Well I started working when I was 18-years-old. I became a die maker apprentice. This was at Plant 23 in Detroit,” recalled Zurakowski. It was 1951. He remembers as he started the job seeing workers building tanks for the Korean War. He was ready to learn. “When I started the apprenticeship I wanted to go into the wood field. They said according to your tests it shows you would be better working with metal than wood. I didn’t know anything about metal, but growing up on a farm I used wood all the time. What they did, I think, they needed more die makers than wood pattern makers. But I went along with that and I was very happy with it,” said Zurakowski. The work at General Motors supported his family. He and his wife had a son and three daughters. He says he is going to miss seeing his co-workers everyday. “We have interesting people. There are natural teachers in there. It is an interesting place to work,” said Zurakowski. Notably Mr. Zurakowski is a member of Mensa International, the high IQ society. He says his long career was rewarding because he chose to find purpose in each days accomplishments. “If you don’t get your pleasure out of your work, you are never going to know what pleasure is. If you think you are not having fun, start thinking differently,” he said. In his retirement he is looking forward to focusing on his woodworking hobby and spending time with family. 1868

The Trump administration has upgraded its already dire warning to Americans against all international travel as the coronavirus outbreak spreads. At the same time, the State Department disclosed the first positive cornovirus test in a Washington-based employee and announced new restrictions the issuance of passports to U.S, citizens.The department on Thursday issued a new travel alert urging Americans not to go abroad under any circumstances and to return home if they are already abroad unless they plan to remain overseas. It then said passport applications for U.S. citizens at home and abroad would be severely curtailed.“The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19,” it said in the new advice. “In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. U.S. citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel.”Until the upgrade, the department’s advice to U.S. citizens was to “reconsider” all international travel under what is known as a “level three” alert. The global “level four” warning was unprecedented as such alerts are generally reserved for specific countries embroiled in conflict, natural disasters or where Americans face specific risks.However, the upgrade will likely have little practical effect because it is not mandatory and there are now limited transportation options for international travel. The only way to ban Americans from going abroad would be to invalidate the use of U.S. passports for such travel, a bar that is currently in place only for North Korea.In addition, the main impact of State Department travel alerts is to cause insurance companies to increase premiums or cancel travel policies for group and individual tours, many of which had been scrapped even before the alert was raised to level three earlier this week.The department has already advised Americans that many U.S. embassies and consulates abroad are operating with reduced staff and hours due to the COVID-19 outbreak and that services for Americans in need of assistance are limited.Full Coverage: 2286

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. While the astronauts were the stars of the show, the flight controllers back in Houston has a supporting role. The Apollo 11 Mission Control Center at NASA was a historical landmark, but it wasn’t being treated as so.Four years ago, NASA chose Sonya Yungeberg and her team at Ayuda Companies to lead the restoration of the Mission Control Center.“We have been working on this project pretty diligently, starting at the research phase for about three years now,” Yungeberg says.The control center hadn’t been used since the 90’s and needed a lot of work. A team of over 100 people began restoring 50 years of history. Month after month, they sifted through photos, film and artifacts.“As you can imagine, when people go and take pictures or video, they are not looking at the stuff on the desk or under the desk,” she says.To recreate the past, they needed to go on the hunt for items that were no longer made, including old ash trays, coffee mugs, headsets and so much more. They spent months on eBay to find old replicas of the items. One huge component of the room they didn’t have to search for were the original consoles used by the flight controllers, like Director Gene Kranz.“Mr. Kranz came in one day and had been doing interviews and he turns and says, ‘Where’s my foot pedal?’ And all of us stood there dumbfounded for a second like, ‘Oh, there is a foot pedal,’ and so we went to find foot pedals,” recalls Jennie Keys with Ayuda Companies.One of their greatest accomplishments were the renderings on the big screen. “These were not available. They were not original,” Yungeberg says. “We had to recreate them and the detail in them from looking at footage, again frame by frame.”Attention to detail was mission critical. From uncovering the numbers on the walls, scraping the gum off all the chairs, matching the carpet that doesn’t exist anymore and even having the same bouquet of roses that were in the room for every launch. For the items they couldn’t track down, the team used a 3D printer to make them. After three years, the project was complete.“The plan was to have it open by the anniversary of the Moon landing, and we barely made it,” Yungeberg says.The seal of approval came from the original flight controllers who were over the moon about seeing the massive fragment of space history restored.“Gene Krantz said he didn’t quite cry, but he got a rush of emotion and he really, really loved it,” Yungeberg says.NASA congratulated the accomplishment by saying, “This is what happens when American’s come together and work hard.” 2635
