INDEX

[50806] "Bangor Daily News [Bangor, Maine], 8 July 2013": "Milford - Robert D. Gastia, 79, died peacefully surrounded by family and enveloped in love July 5, 2013, after a long struggle of kidney failure in his home. He was born June 8, 1934, in Old Town, the third youngest son of A. Joseph and Ozilda 'Ida' (Michaud) Gastia. At the early age of 14, he began working for James W. Sewall Co. mapping 'cuttings in the woods' until 21. Bobby was drafted in the Army in November 1956 at 22, and received basic and advanced training at Fort Hood in Texas. He was shipped out of Brooklyn Army Terminal aboard the 'Darby' troop ship to Europe. While in Europe, he became a Browning automatic rifleman expert and was a member of the all-Army team. This involved open-sight shots at up to 1000 yards and traveling to other European countries, including England. Bobby served in the same unit as Elvis Presley and remembered Elvis as approachable and friendly, and stated that Elvis wasn't afforded any special treatment. Bobby was discharged in November 1958 and remained in the Army Reserves until 1962. He was employed at the Penobscot Chemical Fiber mill from 1959 until his retirement in 1996, from then known as James River Mill after 37 years of service. The first 1 1/2 years he was employed at the mill he did odd jobs, construction and unloading of rail cars. He soon moved to the boiler room and became a boiler engineer, and obtaining his boiler operator's license was one of his greatest accomplishments. He worked in this position for most of his career. He is survived by his wife, Barbara (Abbott); son, Kevin Gastia and wife, Crystal; special nephew, Ron Gastia and wife, Sherri; special niece, Brenda Arnall and husband, Bob; special nephew and his namesake, Robert Gastia and wife, Lynn; most beloved grandchildren whom he was very proud of, Brandon, Daniel and Mckayla Gastia; sister-in-law, Betty Gastia; brother-in-law, Tim Lynch; former sister-in-law, Doris Haley; and many other extended family members. He was predeceased by his parents; brothers, Norman and Kenneth; baby sister, Jeanne Lynch; and lifelong friends, Popeye and Francena Denny."

INDEX

[11624]

Jefferson, Thomas (1743-1826), American revolutionary leader and political philosopher, author of the Declaration of Independence, and third president of the United States (1801-09).

Jefferson was among the most brilliant American exponents of the Enlightenment, the movement of 18th-century thought that emphasized the possibilities of human reason. A Virginia aristocrat, he had the time and resources to educate himself in history, literature, law, architecture, science, and philosophy; as a diplomat and friend of French and British intellectuals, he had direct access to European culture and thought; and as a provincial farmer and novice revolutionary leader, he had the motivation and the opportunity to construct a social and political philosophy for his neighbors and his country.

Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743, at Shadwell in Albemarle County, Virginia. His father was a plantation owner, and his mother belonged to the Randolph family, which was prominent in colonial Virginia. From his father and from his environment he acquired an intense interest in botany, geology, cartography, and North American exploration, and from a childhood teacher a love of Greek and Latin. As a student at the College of William and Mary in the early 1760s, he studied under William Small, who knew in depth the Scottish Enlightenment, with its highly integrated approach to law, history, philosophy, and science. In George Wythe, he found an equally gifted teacher of the law. Jefferson was admitted to the bar in 1767 and first elected to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1769. His principal passion during his late 20s was the design and building of his home, Monticello, along lines inspired by the Renaissance Italian architect Palladio. Despite several desultory courtships, he did not seriously consider marriage until 1770, when he met Martha Wayles Skelton (1747-82), a wealthy widow of 23. They were married in 1772.

Jefferson's long bachelorhood gave him the time during his 20s for voracious reading in Enlightenment philosophy, 17th-century English history, political theory, and law. Drawing on this learning, he drafted in 1774 a Summary View of the Rights of British America as instructions for Virginia's delegates to the First Continental Congress, which met to consider the colonies' grievances against Great Britain. Virginia leaders instead adopted a more legalistic set of instructions, and Summary View was published anonymously as a pamphlet. As Jefferson's authorship became widely known, however, he moved suddenly into the front rank of American political theorists.

In the pamphlet, Jefferson argued that the original settlers of the colonies came as individuals rather than as agents of the British government. The colonial governments they formed therefore embodied the natural right of expatriates from one country to select the terms of their subjection to a new ruler. Colonial legislatures and the British Parliament, he asserted, shared power, and both were responsible for protecting the "liberties and rights" of the people.

The Declaration of Independence, drafted principally by Jefferson in late June 1776 for the Second Continental Congress, drew the implications of this historical view to their logical conclusion, proclaiming that the tyrannical acts of the British government gave the colonists the right to "dissolve the political bands" that had connected them with the mother country.

As a legislator in Virginia (1776-79), Jefferson sought to reform society along enlightened and republican lines. After successfully proposing the disestablishment of the Anglican church, he was responsible for legislation abolishing entail (inheritance of land through a particular line of descent) and primogeniture (inheritance only by the eldest son), thus eliminating two major governmental restrictions on the use of private property.

The reform of the Virginia criminal code "in which Jefferson was a leading participant" did not achieve the humanitarian results to which he was dedicated but did eliminate the most barbarous and repressive practices, such as public whippings, dunkings, and bills of attainder (which condemned accused persons without trial). The legislature refused outright to adopt Jefferson's bill for a public school system and library, but many years later, in 1819, he succeeded in establishing the University of Virginia, one of the three accomplishments that he memorialized in the epitaph on his tombstone. The other two were his authorship of the Declaration of Independence and of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom the latter the most important of his achievements as a Virginia legislator. The religious freedom statute, originally introduced in 1779 but not actually passed by the legislature until 1786, prohibited any state financing of religious instruction. Almost entirely composed of an eloquent preface, it brilliantly excoriated the baneful effects of state sponsorship of worship and belief.

As governor of Virginia from 1779 to 1781, Jefferson failed to prevent the British from invading the state. After leaving office he retreated to Monticello to write his classic Notes on the State of Virginia. The Notes, which were written for the information of a French correspondent, deal with social, political, and economic life in the 18th century.

After his wife's death in 1782, Jefferson again became a delegate to the Congress, and in 1784 he drafted the report that was the basis for the Ordinances of 1784, 1785, and 1787. As minister to France, from 1784 to 1789, he steeped himself in French learning and witnessed, with excitement and approval, the early stages of the French Revolution.

As secretary of state in Washington's first administration (1790-94), Jefferson revived a proposal he had originated as a member of Congress in 1783 to establish reciprocal trade agreements with continental European nations and, in the face of British restrictions on American commerce, to deny such benefits to the British. The proposal died in Congress. His hopes for at least an evenhanded American approach to Britain and France evaporated when the French envoy, Edmond GenĂȘt, appealed to the public for a military alliance with revolutionary France an indiscretion that made Washington decide to repudiate the Franco-American alliance of 1778.

After leaving office, Jefferson was disturbed by the administration's increasing friendliness to Great Britain and by other policies promoted by Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton. In 1796, he reluctantly allowed his name to be put forward as a candidate for the presidency by the opposition Republican party. He received the second largest number of votes among four candidates and therefore, according to the electoral system then in use, became vice-president under the Federalist president John Adams in 1797.

During his term in that office he watched with growing indignation as the Federalists capitalized on anti-French feeling to create a standing army under the control of his enemy, Alexander Hamilton, and to pass the Alien Acts, restricting the liberty of supposedly pro-Republican foreigners, and the Sedition Act, which allowed the prosecution of anyone who printed false statements critical of government officials. In resolutions drafted for the Virginia and Kentucky legislatures, Jefferson and James Madison denounced the constitutionality of these laws and assigned to the states the role of bulwark against infringements on individual liberties.

In the election of 1800, Jefferson and his fellow Republican Aaron Burr received an equal number of electoral votes, thus creating a tie and throwing the presidential election into the House of Representatives. After 36 ballots, the House declared Jefferson elected. (The Constitution was then amended to require a single electoral vote for president and vice-president.)

As had Adams before him, Jefferson faced opposition from an uncompromising faction within his own party as well as from the Federalists. He steered a
steady course between these two extremes, appointing some qualified Federalists to office and refusing a wholesale purge of officeholders inherited from the Adams administration. He supported repeal of the Judiciary Act of 1801, which had created a costly tier of federal appeals courts and would have encouraged appeals from state courts, but he opposed any assault on the independence of the Federalist-dominated judiciary; Jefferson's three appointments to the Supreme Court, made between 1804 and 1807, were all strong nationalists and upholders of judicial independence.

During his first term his lifelong interest in the West and in American-French relations prompted his major presidential achievement, the purchase from France of Louisiana all the western land drained by the Missouri and Mississippi rivers and the organization of a scientific expedition by William Clark and Meriwether Lewis to explore this territory. Foreign policy during his second term was, however, a disaster.

Seeking to force the British to respect U.S. neutrality on the high seas during the Napoleonic Wars, he persuaded Congress in 1807 to embargo all trade with Britainia move that failed to elicit any concessions, devastated the nation's economy for a generation, and alienated New England, which lived by foreign trade.

After leaving office in 1809 he retired to Monticello, where he lived until his death on July 4, 1826, corresponding with John Adams about the great issues of revolution and constitutionalism, trying to preserve his declining estate for his daughters instead of his creditors, and brooding over the baneful effects of slavery. He was unwilling, for financial reasons, to free his own slaves, and he disagreed with abolitionist friends who held that blacks were equal to whites.

His paradoxical beliefs in human dignity and in racial inferiority typified the dilemma of the country he had helped to create. Genetic tests indicate that he has descendants by a slave on his plantation.
