Thanks for the kind words Dean. I had a lot of help. Most noteably was the wisdom and counsel of Dr. Richard Davis who so graciously secured the support of the Cincinnati Museum of Nat. History at our inception. This support gave us the immediate credibility needed to launch such an endeavor. I hope that my occasional visits will in some small way offer something of value to GCHS in return for all that GCHS gave to me in those early days.
BTW, our first meeting was on September (5th?) of 1977. We set up a steering committee to draft bylaws that were passed and adopted at the October 1977 meeting. The 30th anniversary will be here before you know it. Thanks to you, Grady, Todd and many others, GCHS will see that happen. You all carried on when things looked doubtful for GCHS. Many thanks.
