Congratulations on another job well done. I'm curious about the order of research and idea when it comes to the Age of Wickedness stories (and I guess your process in general). Is it usually the case that you're reading about something for pleasure and curiosity and decide it would make for a good story or do you get struck by an idea and then do the research? Of course, it could be both too, but I guess I'm wondering if it's more: "How interesting, this would be great to include in a story" or more: Waking up in the middle of the night like "RAILROAD" "SALVATION ARMY" "THE GENERALLY HORRIFIC CONDITIONS OF 19th CENTURY MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT"

(Hi thank you here is another essay answer but I have included a tl;dr because I cannot not be tl and do not blame anyone for nr-ing)

It’s sort of both! I’ve mentioned it usually starts with one strong image (Maura doing taxidermy in a fancy dress, Jane being pulled from an ice bath)(poor Jane) and then I gotta find context. For the third story I knew I wanted an asylum setting so I had to find a B plot (RAILROAD) and that came from thinking about what kind of things a couple heartless social climbers might seize on to in that era, something with high enough stakes, so that was something that required actual consideration. But the era determines so much—someone like Huntington Fairfax (my veiled Garrett Fairfield) who wanted to make a big splash had only a few avenues at that exact point in time—land ownership, industry, banking—and most were already well-established in ways it would be weird to pretend weren’t (I’m obsessed with plausibility enough to make my fictional Sloan Steel second to Carnegie, etc). So the railroad was kind of it, given the constraints.

The Gilded Age is super-exciting in that everything everywhere was changing super-fast; medicine, social services, technology. Infrastructure and exploration. There was so much undiscovered, or being discovered, that practically everything feels like a possible setting or theme. Narrowing it down is pretty hard, actually! But there are practical restrictions—the biggest one being that it has to be an environment open to women, at least somewhat; if not, that conflict has to be a key element of the story. That one constraint makes for the easiest way to discover what makes sense for these characters in this era. So, asylum! Access for both of them. Salvation Army! Largely run by female members at all levels, also providing an overlap for social classes (also I have always been a hater of that org, so that’s on me; plus the timing worked out, historically).

The next one(!!) will have a totally different setting; I’m coming at that one location-first, which is already proving more difficult, since I have to poke around to see what would have been reasonable or possible for them to be doing. But the other great part, of course, is the fundamental contrast between J&M, class-wise; it sure makes it easier when everything’s bankrolled, even cosplaying as Poors. So that opens up a lot too—they can essentially go anywhere.

Which is where research comes in! I definitely add stuff I discover in discovery (most notably the Elephantine Colossus; I was gonna do something else but then I read about a seven-story elephant with a brothel in it and it was all over), and it’s a definite relief to know they can go anywhere and do anything that requires resources (from Coney Island to the Royal Albert Hall), should something seem fun or interesting or relevant.

So, tl;dr: it’s nature+nurture for sure. Sometimes I do wake up thinking SALVATION ARMY or GAY BAR but that’s followed by the how and the what and the why, etc. Sometimes it’s some cool detail I learn about and become immediately solemnly sworn to include.

(The other thing about the time period, of course, is the parallels with our own—I don’t even have to try. It’s depressingly easy to make those comparisons, and I def find myself drawn to historical contexts and situations where the similarities are clear, so I can shoehorn in my gay feminist agenda like a good sjw)

In Memoriam: A Eulogy for Professor Walter J. Petry Jr. 

Professor Emeritus Walter J. Petry Jr. died on August 13, 2024, at the age of 92. The first Black professor to join the faculty of Fairfield University, Professor Petry taught history in the College of Arts and Sciences for 48 years, from 1957 to 2005.  He served as inaugural director of the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program and received the Martin Luther King Jr. Vision Award in 2003. 

Donations in memory of Professor Petry’s many contributions to the University community may be made to the Fairfield Bellarmine Fund.

Walter J. Petry Jr., professor of history at Fairfield University from 1957 to 2004, died on August 13, 2024, at the age of 92. He was the only child of Walter J. Petry Sr. and Lois Petry (née Gairy). His father moved from New Iberia, Louisiana, to New York City in 1921. His mother’s parents, originally from the Caribbean islands of Grenada and St. Kitts (now both tiny independent nations), settled in New York in the late 19th century. Walter Petry Sr. worked for several years in the U.S. Postal Service, was one of the founders of the Catholic Layman’s Union of New York, and, in 1989, received from Cardinal John O’Connor the prestigious Pierre Toussaint Medallion – awarded to a member of New York City’s Black community for demonstrating an active commitment to freedom, human rights, and spiritual values. Lois Gairy graduated from Hunter College in 1930 with a major in Latin and Greek, and eventually taught English, earth science, and mathematics to junior high students in the New York City Public Schools system for many decades. To a significant extent, Professor Petry followed in his parents’ footsteps by combining their commitment to education and social justice into an extraordinary academic career at Fairfield University that spanned nearly 50 years.

Born on June 30, 1932, Walter Jr. and his parents first lived on the top floor of a brownstone with extended family on East 130th Street in Harlem. Among his earliest recollections and frustrations was working on his basic Lionel train set which needed to be equipped with a transformer to allow the AC locomotive engine to run on the DC current then dominant on Manhattan’s East Side. In 1943, his parents bought an 1890 brownstone on 418 West 160th St. in Washington Heights which had a magnificent view of the Morris-Jumel Mansion, Manhattan’s oldest (1765) surviving residence. Walter lived with his parents, maternal grandfather, and aunt (his mother’s sister, Aunt Dorie) and was proud to call 418 home for the rest of his life. When reminiscing about his dwindling childhood in the Heights, he mentioned being walked by his mother to school, taking the five-cent subway ride by himself once he turned 13, and the historic 25-inch snowstorm on December 26, 1947, that allowed him to sleigh ride from the bottom of his stoop to Edgecomb Avenue. Walter spent parts of every summer until he was 16 years old at the Catskills home of his beloved godmother Harriet Baltimore. Daily hikes instilled in him a deep appreciation for nature and advocacy for the protection of the environment.

The Petrys were members of the Church of St. Joseph of the Holy Family on West 125th Street and Convent Avenue, and traveled there by subway for Sunday Mass. Now known as a Catholic church with mostly Black parishioners, the parish was originally established for German Catholics and had become predominantly Irish by the 1940s. St. Joseph’s parochial school accepted Walter as a student in 1938 (he had been denied entrance at other parochial schools in upper Manhattan and the Bronx based on race) and he studied there until graduating from eighth grade in 1945. He recalled being one of about six Black students in the graduating class of 30. He was a member of the small student choir that sang daily Mass before school, and he kept his books of Gregorian chants as prized mementos. 

Before graduating from grammar school, Walter took a competitive exam and earned admission and a scholarship to attend Manhattan Prep in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, about four miles north of his home on the Number 1 IRT Subway. This school (closed in 1971), run by the Christian Brothers, a Catholic religious teaching congregation, emphasized the liberal arts and a commitment to Christian ethos as envisioned by its founder St. Jean-Baptiste de la Salle (1651-1719). Walter always exaggerated saying he spent more time tackling the challenging readings he was assigned in high school than he did as an undergraduate student. He admired his intimidating and demanding teacher of physics, Brother Alphonsus, and the equally difficult and engaging teacher of English and history, Charles Winans, who also served as moderator of the school’s forensic team, where he pushed Walter to become an effective debater. Walter ran cross country in the Van Courtland Park flats and woods and the half mile as a member of the indoor track team.

Walter made the seamless transfer from the Prep to Manhattan College by walking across campus in September 1949. Beginning that year, Manhattan implemented an experimental four-year core curriculum for students in its liberal arts school focusing on literature, history, philosophy, and fine arts during the ancient world (year one), the medieval period (year two), early-modern Europe (year three), and the 20th century (year four), with additional coursework dedicated to a student’s major — mathematics, in Walter’s case. Manhattan’s faculty quickly recognized the dearth of important coursework in the hard and social sciences and promptly initiated curricular changes for all subsequent students of the liberal arts. The 35 members of Walter’s cohort of 1953, however, stuck to the original four-year plan. Despite flaws in its design, Walter eventually considered that unique pedagogical approach critical to his intellectual and professional formation. He particularly enjoyed the history courses taught by Brother Gabriel, PhD, and Dr. Morrison Swift, and credited them with helping him decide to pursue an advanced degree in history.

The Korean War (June 1950 – July 1953) corresponded to Petry’s undergraduate years at Manhattan College; he and his fellow students had received deferrals before graduating. Once he graduated in May 1953, he was promptly inducted into the U.S. Army and served stateside until June 1955, first being sent to Camp Kilmer in New Jersey and then completing basic training at Camp (now Fort) Gordon in northwest Georgia. His most vivid memories of Camp Gordon were the never-ending mounds of mud in which he trained and his difficulty completing the number of pull-ups required to pass. Notwithstanding these challenges, he enjoyed getting into the best physical shape of his life and meeting young Americans from all over the country. After basic training, he was sent to Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, where Petry and other privates were assigned KP duty, usually washing mess trays if they arrived early and garbage cans if they arrived on time. He made it a point to arrive early. After being promoted to corporal, he worked exclusively as a clerk in the medical service corps. Walter and other members of his unit took advantage of San Antonio’s proximity to Mexico to travel by bus to Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, where they spent a few days eating delicious “foreign” food, exploring neighborhoods, and trying to converse in Spanish with the local population. This would be his first foray outside the U.S. and seems fitting since he would later become deeply interested in Latin American history.

Walter completed his military service in June 1955 and that fall began the master’s program in European History at Columbia University. There, he especially enjoyed classes taught by Jacques Barzun and Garrett Mattingly. Barzun’s publications and the courses he taught focused on European ideas and cultures and emphasized the themes of power, ideology, class, and race, synthesized in his From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life, 1500 to the Present. Mattingly had recently published Catherine of Aragonand Renaissance Diplomacy and was finishing his brilliant manuscript, The Defeat of the Spanish Armada. 

In 1957, with his master’s degree in hand, Walter contacted several universities within commuting distance from Manhattan, including Fairfield, which had only been in operation for fifteen years and which Walter had never heard of prior to applying. He was delighted to be asked to join its faculty and commenced his nearly five-decades' routine of commuting to Fairfield via the New Haven Line every Monday morning, walking from the train station to Canisius Hall, up and down Bellarmine Road daily to his rented room near the University, and then back to the train station each Friday evening for the return trip to the city. (He never learned to drive and bragged to others — who frequently shuttled him to and from important engagements — that, as a New Yorker, he had no need for a driver’s license or a car.) As a new history teacher at Fairfield, Walter taught four sections of basic Western Civilization each semester. Upper-level European history classes at the time had usually been taught by Francis A. Small, S.J., but when he was tasked with directing the library and moving the main collection from Xavier Hall to Canisius Hall (where it remained until 1968), Walter was given the opportunity to teach courses on the Renaissance, the Reformation, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism. Fairfield’s history department was decidedly Euro and Americentric during Walter’s first two decades; changing times and student prompting slowly convinced the department to diversify its offerings. In the late 1970s, James Murphy, S.J., chair, asked Walter to consider a reduced courseload to take classes in Latin American history at Yale University with a view toward teaching the same at Fairfield. Walter accepted the challenge and traveled to Yale every Monday for a year to study under renowned Brazilian historian Emilia Viotti da Costa, famous for her work on slavery and abolition. Henceforth at Fairfield, Walter became most known as its Latin American historian. Until his retirement in 2005, he regularly taught courses on Latin America’s colonial and modern periods and frequently served as faculty historian on seminars offered by the Program in Latin American and Caribbean Studies, which he periodically directed. As professor emeritus with expertise on church and politics in Nicaragua, he was frequently invited as a guest speaker in classes where he continued to entrance students by his lively performances.

Petry was a demanding, inquisitive, intimidating, animated, and unforgettable teacher. Forever fascinated with ethnicity and family origin, he frequently referred to students solely by their surname. One needed to arrive to class prepared since Petry did not suffer fools lightly. His lengthy and challenging readings for class — mostly primary sources — forced students to analyze on their own and think independently. It wasn’t uncommon for students to spend an entire class examining two or three sentences from a single document.

Read it again,” he would bellow, after a student made a feeble attempt at analysis. “Okay, you’re getting there, but what’s the author really saying?” His follow-up questions might include: Does the author have an agenda? What school of thought does he belong to? Who is the intended audience? What’s the author conveniently leaving out? What would his detractors say? One’s head hurt from thinking so much after a Petry class. He received Fairfield’s Distinguished Faculty Award in 1983 a Distinguished Teaching Award in 2004.

Petry also made his presence felt outside the classroom. Students from the ’60s and early ’70s will particularly remember his role in seminars, protests, and sit-ins against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He helped lead the (unsuccessful) charge against the granting of an honorary degree to Secretary of State Alexander Haig in 1981. At university events he frequently brought attention to repressive military dictatorships and structural violence in Latin America and to U.S. interventionism and revolutionary regime change in that region. Fairfield student newspaper articles from the 1950s to the 2000s regularly mention him and include letters to the editor written by and about him.

Petry was an inveterate traveler. Summer vacations found him visiting the British Isles, western Europe including Spain after Franco died in 1975, and many Latin American countries, including Cuba, Haiti, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. He made his first trip to Nicaragua in July 1981 to observe the second anniversary of the Sandinista triumph and visited the country annually from 1983 to 1992. He methodically collected and preserved materials of the Sandinista revolutionary project for analysis by future scholars. These documents, journals, newspapers, propaganda, posters, and photos now form part of the “Walter J. Petry Collection—Nicaragua: The Sandinista Years (1979-1990)” at the DiMenna-Nyselius Library. He donated some 400 books from his personal collection to the library’s main collection.

Petry was co-editor of two Orbis Books on religion in Latin America. The first book, Religion in Latin America: A Documentary History (2006), won 1st Place in the category of “Reference Work” by the Catholic Press Association. The second book, Religion and Society in Latin America: Interpretive Essays from Conquest to Present (2009), contains his provocative co-authored chapter titled, “The Right to Appropriate, The Duty to Evangelize,” which analyzed the core set of assumptions that 16th-century Iberians brought with them to the New World. His final publication, “Roman Catholicism in Latin America,” appeared in Encyclopedia of Latin American Religions (2019) and includes valuable sections on church-state relations during the long 19th century and the emergence of a reinvigorated church since the middle of the 20th century. Petry examined topics he cared about: the human tragedy of captured and enslaved Africans, the misery and desperation of the poor, the recalcitrance and belligerence of elites, and defenders of human rights such as António de Vieira S.J. (1608-1697), Hélder Pessoa Câmara (1909-1999), and Samuel Ruiz (1924-2011). His complex prose sometimes made emotional appeals. For example, when writing about Gustavo Gutiérrez O.P. (b. 1928), the “father” of Liberation Theology, he provided the following contextual analysis and questions: “What does the Christian minister (of any denomination, time, or place) mean when he/she proclaims, ‘God loves you?’ Are not the implications of that apparently simple message that each person is worth something, has dignity, can free him or herself from base instincts, is capable of achievement, even transcendence, and is certainly capable of freeing him/herself from the snare of ‘sin,’ that is, self-indulgence, selfishness, and isolation? But is not this also true of one’s neighbor, and of all ‘neighbors,’ i.e., the entire human community?” (2006, p. 272).

Walter forged strong personal and professional relationships with former students and colleagues who could count on him for advice and wonderful tours of Manhattan. He enjoyed sharing meals and traveling with them, and appreciated the innumerable times friends chauffeured him to and from events. He spent his retirement years in much the same way he tried to spend his weekends while still teaching at Fairfield. The perfect day would have included a thorough reading of The New York Times, listening to classical music, such as cantatas by Bach (whom he considered music’s greatest genius), harpsichord compositions by Rameau, chamber music by Schubert, and nearly anything by Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven, then going to an independent movie theater to see an alternative or foreign movie he boasted could only be seen by New Yorkers, followed by a late lunch or early dinner at an Indian restaurant on East 6th Street (“take your pick, they’re all good,” he’d say), and topping off the day by seeing an opera by Mozart at The Met where he had a subscription for a seat in First Row, Balcony.

To honor Walter’s many contributions to the University community, please consider donating in his memory to the Fairfield Bellarmine Fund on the university’s website at Fairfield.edu/bellarmine-give.

Originally born in Fairfield County, CT, to an italian-american family, struggles with opioids in high school after an injury led Brennan to South Florida for addiction treatment. After being exposed to both the positives and negatives in the industry as a client and eventually in management, he was determined to make a change in the industry. After re-establishing to California, in 2017, some struggles and changes within the substance abuse sector of healthcare, led Brennan to seek out other avenues and diversify. First, studying medical billing and coding, aiding his companies to complete billing compliance and set them apart from the rest, and most importantly, diving in deep to online marketing and advertising to solidify an above board niche for client acquisition. As Brennan scaled up and scaled down his facilities multiple times, he landed on what he considers the perfect number: 5 centers across the United States. His main focus today remains the same: driving revenue through his online expertise and controlling that revenue with his billing oversight. As his healthcare business has become more automated from his efforts, He has also been able to carry that methodology to multiple different realms over the years, understanding his marketing abilities can drive business and yields in many industries outside of healthcare, too.

Finding Comfort Neck Pain Relief in Fairfield

Neck pain is a common ailment that can significantly impact daily life, hindering movement and causing discomfort. For residents of Fairfield, finding effective relief is essential for restoring comfort and functionality. Fortunately, there are various approaches to neck pain relief available in the area.

Chiropractic care offers non-invasive and drug-free solutions for neck pain relief in Fairfield. Experienced chiropractors utilize adjustments to realign the spine and alleviate pressure on nerves, addressing the root cause of neck pain. By restoring proper spinal alignment, chiropractic care promotes healing and improves mobility, providing long-term relief.

Physical therapy is another valuable option for neck pain relief in Fairfield. Licensed physical therapists design customized treatment plans to address individual needs, incorporating exercises, stretches, and manual therapy techniques. Through targeted interventions, physical therapy helps strengthen neck muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce pain, enabling patients to regain function and mobility.

Massage therapy is widely recognized for its ability to alleviate neck pain by reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation. Skilled massage therapists in Fairfield employ various techniques, such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and trigger point therapy, to target tight and sore muscles in the neck and shoulders. Regular massage sessions can effectively alleviate pain, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese therapy, offers another avenue for neck pain relief in Fairfield. By stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body, licensed acupuncturists promote the flow of energy, known as Qi, and facilitate the body's natural healing process. Acupuncture has been shown to effectively reduce neck pain, alleviate muscle tension, and improve range of motion, providing holistic relief.

Heat and cold therapy are simple yet effective methods for relieving neck pain in Fairfield. Applying heat, such as a heating pad or warm towel, helps relax muscles, increase blood flow, and reduce stiffness. Conversely, cold therapy, in the form of an ice pack or cold compress, can numb the area, reduce inflammation, and alleviate pain. Alternating between heat and cold treatments can further enhance their therapeutic benefits.

Posture correction plays a crucial role in preventing and alleviating neck pain in Fairfield. Poor posture, often exacerbated by prolonged sitting and screen time, contributes to muscle imbalances and strain on the neck and spine. By practising good posture habits and incorporating ergonomic adjustments, individuals can alleviate neck pain and prevent a recurrence.

In conclusion, residents of Fairfield have access to a range of effective options for neck pain relief. Whether seeking chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage therapy, acupuncture, or incorporating heat and cold therapy, finding the right approach requires consulting with qualified healthcare professionals. By addressing the underlying causes of neck pain and adopting preventive measures, individuals can experience lasting relief and improved quality of life.
