Andre Masson at the McMullen Museum, Boston College Masson was in danger of persecution by the Nazis because his work dealt with themes of violence and sexuality, because the Surrealists had ties to the Communist Party, and because his wife Rose was Jewish. Masson and his family returned to France when civil war broke out in 1936, but the artist remained deeply concerned for the Spanish people. Masson supported the Republican government's attempts to create educational reforms, redistribute land, and improve living conditions for factory workers and rural laborers. www.bc.edu /bc_org/avp/cas/artmuseum/exhibitions/archive/masson/learnmore.html

Collezione Peggy Guggenheim - Artisti - André Masson André Masson was born on January 4, 1896, in Balagny-sur-Oise, France. After breaking with the Surrealists, Masson worked in various idioms: progressing from violent and erotic themes interpreted with increasingly abstract forms to more figurative landscapes to massacre subjects and finally, when he lived in Spain from 1934 to 1936, Spanish subjects. During his sojourn in America, Masson showed frequently with artists in exile, for example at the opening exhibition of Peggy Guggenheim’s Art of This Century in New York, and delivered lectures on modern art. www.guggenheim-venice.it /testdemo/pgc04/italiano/06_artisti/masson.htm

Veilleux v. Nat'l Broad. Co. (3/6/2000, No. 98-2104) Kennedy threatened to leave when Francis stated that the drug test "ha[d] to be" a part of the program.

At that meeting, Kennedy told Francis and Vail that he had tested positive for amphetamines and marijuana in a drug test administered days before the Dateline trip. www.law.emory.edu /1circuit/mar2000/98-2104.01a.html

Verlorenvlei - the lost marsh of the Sandveld, Cape West Coast Route 27, South Africa Francis Masson, a collector for Kew Gardens, marvelled at the Cape's embarrassment of natural riches, "We came to Verloren Valley a narrow extent of marshy ground, enclosed by hills on each side, with a small river, frequented by a variety of water fowl, which afforded good sport .we saw hundreds of pelicans and wild geese". One traveller described the place as a "Heathrow for birds: some were stacking on ordered flight paths, others were landing, refuelling or taxiing through reed channels. www.route27sa.com /sandmarsh.html

The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew - PlantExplorers.com™ Francis Masson continued his collections on the African Cape as Kew's first official collector, and Franz Bauer would become the garden's first botanical painter in residence. The last visit Banks made to the garden was to view the flowering of one of Francis Masson's South African treasures, a rare cycad, Encephalartos altensteinii. When William Jackson Hooker was appointed director in 1841, the glass houses had been slated for conversion into vineries and their precious contents moved out into the cold to be disposed of at a later date. www.plantexplorers.com /Explorers/Botanical_Gardens/Kew01.htm

Erica cerinthoides Francis Masson first introduced Erica cerinthoides into cultivation in England, and it featured in the Botanical Magazine in 1794. Erica cerinthoides is named after the genus Cerinthe, the honey wort, because of the similarity of the flowers and their arrangement. It was a favourite species in cultivation at that time, but is seldom seen in cultivation these days. www.plantzafrica.com /plantefg/ericacerinth.htm

Gladiolus Another was the "Maid of the Mist" sent home in 1904 by Francis Fox, the engineer who built a cantilever railway bridge over the Zambesi River at Victoria Falls. This gladiolus was found flourishing in tht watefall misty spray and adapted to the constant moisture by developing a hooded upper petal which kept its pollen-bearing stamens dry. Too many introductions and hybridizations of gladioli have been made to enumerate here, but one important one was made in 1820 by Robert Sweet, whose career as a hybridist ended when he was accused of stealing garden pots from Kew Gardens. www.westol.com /%7Epennwest/flowers/gladiolus.html

This first exploration of in the Stellenbosch area and the Hottentot Holland Mountains, with the Cape's rich flora must have seemed like paradise to Masson.

Cycad Society SA: Encephalartos longifolius longifolius is probably the first cycad collected by Carl Peter Thunberg and Francis Masson around 1775 on their trip to the Eastern Cape. Propagation is by seed or by removing suckers from the parent plant. A specimen, sent to Kew Gardens at the time, is still growing in the Palm House, which makes it more than 200 years old. www.cycadsociety.org /longifolius/longifolius.html

A TRIBUTE TO THE PIONEERS OF BUSHMANS KLOOF Francis Masson was a gardener to King George III, whose journeys between 1772 and 1774, and 1786 and 1795 included a route via Piketberg and Heerenlogement, on to Calvinia. Masson’s works contain valuable typographic, geological and hydrographic accounts. The famous Bain pass-builders father and son team is remembered in the naming of the Manor House’s Bain’s Bar. www.bushmanskloof.co.za /news/tribute.htm

Paroisse On October 4, 1956, almost a year after its inception, the Bishop formally declared St. Francis of Assisi to be the English Catholic Parish of St.Lambert. From its humble beginnings it was evident that the basement hall of St. Lambert Church would not be able to accommodate the Thriving congregation. The parish traces its roots to the fall of 1955 when a few hundred English Catholics led by Father Herman Siebert celebrated mass in the basement of the french catholic St. Lambert parish church. www.diocese-st-jean-longueuil.org /saint_francis_of_assisi.htm

webGED: Bissett - Conrod Data Page This does not imply with certainty that the Catherine Masson in the burial record was Frederick's wife, since she may have died on the voyage and Catherine could have been a daughter. Since none of the Masson children would have been old enough to marry in 1753, I conclude that it was the listed Frederick who remarried - which would only have been possible after the death of his wife. Bell shows all the Masson families as coming from Montbaliard - which, in turn, implies that they were on either the Speedwell or the Betty in 1752. www.mindspring.com /~giammo/Bissett/wga1.html

Les Federalists Mondiaux 2000 This is due to lack of contacts (because of his studies) between Denis MASSON, Treasurer of RHONE-ALPES region and the National level. Didier who went to spend mostly 18 month’s in the US should be back into office by the end of 2000. Also it will most probably appears a slight reduction in membership (but not in activities) due to more and more common members, mainly in RHONE-ALPES (Lyon region) the main Chapter, between UEF and WFM, most of them coming from the UEF size and presently very involved within the UEF Campaign for a European Constitution. www.worldfederalist.org /ACTION/france00.html
