October Searing News Summaries

Friday, October 31st, 2014

A Searing business in Longview WA was damaged by the recent tornado in that area. http://www.kptv.com/…/tornado-leaves-behind-trail-of-damage…

Unfortunately, the tornado seemed to occur the day after the Searing business received an award.http://www.homechannelnews.com/…/knowledge-power-searing

John Searing of Norfolk VA ran and completed the recent Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC. Congrats John Searing!!

To date, two other Searings have finished in marathons in 2014. Candy Searing in the River Towns Marathon in May 2014; and Fiona Searing in the Dublin Marathon in October 2014. I can’t recall if I posted marathon results for 2013, but five Searings finished in five different races in 2013

May 2011 Searing’s on the Internet Entry

Saturday, July 30th, 2011

Finally getting caught up on Searing internet entries:

May was a good month for Searing news.  In early May Head Coach George Searing of the Northport Boys Lacrosse team lead his team to an important victory to qualify them for a better seeding in year end action.  Sachem Patch:  http://sachem.patch.com/articles/northport-boys-lax-topples-sachem-east

George is also quoted in a later Patch (May 19th) as his team scored a big victory in first round of the lax playoffs.
      

Dan Searing, Jr is quoted on the history and strengths of bourbon in the Washington Post Express on May 5.  And on May 9, Dan’s book was published in May,  “The Punch Bowl.” (Mark A. Gore – Sterling Epicure / Sterling Publishing), and available on Amazon.  Great book for punch lovers….and oh, yeah, my son….:)


A new Searing business also was mentioned:  http://www.heidisearing.com/   This is a web design firm in Seattle WA.

A fascinating story on youth sports injuries appeared May 10, 2011 for the IL paperHarold News. featuring Marianne Searing’s daughter Ashley, and recounting Ashley’s injuries on the field of play and her determination to continue playing sports.  http://beaconnews.suntimes.com/4795103-417/parents-student-athletes-must-weigh-costs-of–sports-injuries.html

On May 16, Nate Searing (Ashley’s brother) gets his own credit for pitching a winning game against a strong opponent.  Details at    http://southtownstar.suntimes.com/sports/5410999-419/baseball-joliet-catholic-takes-down-marian-catholic.html

Nate is also mentioned in a May 28 Southtown Star article.  Way to pitch, Nate

Candace and Dick Searing were instrumental in organizing a Scenic Race4Hope bicycle outing  as a fund raiser to battle cancer, as reported in the Syracuse.com blog on May 19.  This is quite an event with an interesting history, as reported at     http://blog.syracuse.com/neighbors/2011/05/scenic_bicycle_race_above_skaneateles_lake_has_passionate_roots.html

Daniel Searing and Vickie Gann were married on June 11, 2011.  That’s about all I know…their names came up on a google alert for Daniel Searing.  Congrats to the couple!

Daniel Searing, MD also surfaces in my alerts.  He is an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and pediatric allergy specialist at National Jewish Health in Denver.  I would like to do a separate piece on him and will seek to talk with him.

Linda Searing also appears from time to time in the alerts, for her excellent medical article summaries that you may see in your local paper.  I know she appears in the Washington Post weekly.

The Humanity Bubble

Monday, February 7th, 2011

Posted today on Facebook by Michael Krenzer (Donna Searing Krenzer’s grandson) is a wonderful blog reference about how small our ‘broadcast bubble’ in the Milky Way is:    http://blog.jackadam.net/2011/the-tiny-humanity-bubble/        Great short post, great comments.  Astronomy and our place in the universe has always been an interest of mine, and it’s Searing related, so I wanted to share it.  But it also fits in another context.  The Searing (and relations) bubble is also small.  The family hasn’t (yet) multiplied into the 10’s of thousands other families have.  That makes ‘us’ easier to keep track of and to explore the past lives and present accomplishments of family members according to our time and interests.  I hope other Searing family members will point out things to post!!

Searings on Social Media

Thursday, December 10th, 2009

Just a quick update.  Twitter remains a rich resource for Searings.  Matthew Searing, a high school teacher in New York goes by the handle ‘haikusearing’ and in his spare time he is posting some haikus that are very entertaining.  And Jim Searing is now posting as ‘TreeStrategist” working with his post career vocation and education in landscape architecture.  More on that as I get an update from Jim.  If you go to  Find People and search for Searings you won’t be disappointed, but they won’t overwhelm your follow box either.  But its fun to see what other Searings are posting about.And Facebook’s My Last Name is Searing Group is also gaining new members almost daily.  We are working on a name to be more inclusive as there are lots of Searing relations or Searing branches who might not have that last name.  We want to make it clear that all are welcome.  And a new group, Mankato Memories has launched.  This is important because Edward Searing was the president when it was the Normal School…..long before it was incorporated into the state university system.  If you search for his name in the blog an article on him should come up.  And I continue to look for other Searings who accomplished deeds or words we want to share!  Send’em on!!
