YOU KNOW THAT OLD SLOGAN THAT HAS BEEN
TRIPPING AROUND FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS:
"SUPPOSE I GIVE A PARTY AND NO ONE COMES?"
WELL, THAT'S BASICALLY WHAT HAPPENED! THE WEDNESDAY EVENING HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTATION, AND THE KUSER SCHOOL PESENTATION A FEW MONTHS EARLIER ,TURNED OUT A PITIFUL FEW HISTORY-ORIENTED CITIZENS. CAN YOU SPELL "APATHY?" IN THE WEDNESDAY EVENING HAMILTON HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTATION, ALUMNI FROM THE CLASS OF '39, '46 AND '47 ATTENDED, AND APPRECIATED THE PROGRAM, SO THAT MADE IT ALL WORTH WHILE.
THERE WAS LITTLE INTEREST IN THE KUSER SCHOOL PRESENTATION WHICH IS COMPLETELY PUZZLING, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE KUSER CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. HOWEVER, I, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FOLKS WHO ARE INVOLVED IN GATHERING AND RECORDING HISTORY HAVE TAKEN A PAGE FROM THE GOOD BOOK AS WE RECALL THE ADMONITION IN THE "GOOD BOOK:"
"WHEREVER TWO OR MORE ARE GATHERED IN MY NAME...."
I LEARNED A VALUABLE A LESSON: JUST BECAUSE I HAVE A DESIRE TO SHARE LOCAL HISTORY WITH THE COMMUNITY, I SHOULDN'T HAVE ASSUMED THE COMMUNITY HAS THE SAME ZEAL FOR HISTORY. LESSON LEARNED. I WILL CONTINUE COMPILING HISTORICAL DATA, AND KEEP ADDING IT TO THE COMPUTER.
NO HARD FEELING BUT SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTED.
