William Shipley was a drawing master from the English Midlands who, in 1754, founded what became the RSA (Royal Society of Arts, or Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce).
John WilliamShipley was born on March 21, 1912 in Hampden, Baltimore City, Maryland; died October 28, 1958 in Orlando, Orange County, Florida.
John WilliamShipley was born on March 07, 1855 in New Windsor, Carroll County, Maryland; died February 21, 1932 on Deer Park Road in Reisterstown, Baltimore County, Maryland.
William Clarence Carback was born on August 21, 1857 in Rossville, Baltimore County, Maryland; died January 04, 1938 at 3338 Keswick Road, Hampden, Baltimore City, Maryland.
But the language Shipley is most proud of knowing, the one that has shaped his career and much of the course of his life, is understood by less than a dozen people on earth.
As a 32-year-old graduate student in linguistics at the University of California-Berkeley, Shipley had arrived at Gallagher's door in Maidu country, roughly 200 miles northeast of San Francisco, one snowy December afternoon in 1953.
Shipley still has the pale turquoise eyes and easy grin he had as a young man, and it sometimes startles him to realize that those backcountry rambles are a half-century in the past.
