		William and Lynne Jolitz were inspired to work on 386BSD by the experience with Symmetric Computer Systems (see "William Jolitz and Symmetric Computer Systems") and the uses of BSD on a ubiquitous platform it inspired.

		In addition, totally unacknowledged by the University of California was the almost daily presence of William Jolitz on campus for years in the assembly of the general BSD release, having arranged for donations by Compaq, interviews with members of the press, and drop-ins by many software experts to encourage contribution and cooperation.

		In 1790, roughly the time Rush is believed to have carved the "Tamanend," the U.S. government was just being formed.
		Because Rush was a member of the inner circle of leaders in Philadelphia, Hill says Rush was able to give a peek into the thinking of the "founding fathers" through his work.

		They approached the United States to interest them in the purchase of the territory, but it wasn’t until 1867 that Secretary of State William H. Seward signed a treaty to purchase Alaska for $7.2 million dollars, which was less than 2 cents an acre.
		But it was in 1896 that the Klondike gold rush in Canada’s Yukon Territory really brought people to Alaska.
		The images of heavily oiled shorelines, dead and dying wildlife, and the thousands of workers mobilized to clean beaches reflected what many people felt was the ultimate environmental insult in a previously pristine and biologically rich area.
