1986: THE KKK COMES TO HAMILTON

Back in the first few decades of the 20th century, the KKK was a thriving organization. There were a number of members of Protestant clergy who were card carrying members of the organization. I wrote the article above detailing a visit to the then rural Hamilton Township area in the 1924, and the somewhat negative reaction which was expressed by local citizens.

2009: Have You Visited "Hamiltonspace.com?"

Earlier this week I received an email from Ms.Norine Longo, Assistant Web Editor for the website www.hamiltonspace.com. Norine had visited my website(s) and wanted to include a piece on me under the regular feature, "Someone You Should Know." I am an avid reader of Joe Emanski's flashy monthly, "Hamilton Post," but to be quite honest, I am just now beginning to recognize the impact of the concept of online newspapers. I have included www.hamiltonspace.com to my list of very interesting websites. You will find a fascinating up to date site which covers just about anything anyone would want to know about "America's Favorite Hometown." I particularly was drawn to the Police Blotter, and the fabulous photo slide shows, including some great photos of some of the crowd at the recent 4th of July extravaganza at Veterans' Park. Check it out, especially those of my visitors who are living all over the globe. Sally up in Maine, Alan over in Germany, Lee out in California, and many of my other visitors. You will get a very pleasant taste of home along with a myriad of features too lengthy to mention. Good job, Norine! Oh, by the way, the fact that Norine chose me as one of the subjects of "Somemone You Should Know" led me to this site when she emailed me that the recent questionaire she sent me was published. Ugh, what an ugly photo...I told you I have an aversion to the camera!

1944: MILITARY PLANE CRASHES IN HAMILTON

Over the years, numerous people have asked me about the U.S. Army plane that crashed in Hamilton. The consensus seems to be that the plane went down ina an area that at the time was woods and farm land. The most logical location would be in an area behind today's Cedar Gardens, a good distance away from Route 33 between Klockner Road to the south.
