on the East Cleveland seen
from the first June issue o
1859 through this mid Angus
edition 1860, we can't leav
well enough alone and g
quietly.
GRATIAS. Starting at tn

was c. E. Bowman, president O.

made it possible and we espe
cially want to thank him. /

we were freshly. Through hi
guidance and confidence we fee

tidbits we'd just as soon forget

her own work; to Mrs. Cathe-

by asking journalism questions
we can answer; to Stan Minotas
who insists on making encour.

son who introduced US to the
Press Club; to Gordon Crane

writer Ben Weltman who keeps
the linotype shop running
smoothly and the proofs com-
ing, and to a whole host of
others that come in each day
with smiles on their faces and
songs in their hearts.
ORCHIDS. In just this short
time we've discovered writing
talent in East Cleveland and
hope and these people continue
to contribute the same high
quality work to our successor.
With one finger on the pulse of
the community and the other
on her typewriter keys, Mrs.
Ruth Klimowski comes up with
some wonderful stories from
the crossroads of East Cleve-
land and she manages to inject
that spark of humor and insight
bringing them out of the ordi-
nary into the realm of a
GOOD story. 1t was also
through Ruth that we were able
to obtain the poetry of Ross
Connell of Stanwood rd. The
many favorable comments we
receive about his poetry helps
accent the fine discovery and
addition his work is.
QUESTION of the baseball
season is how does Bob Keefer
stay so e.ergetic? In order to
make the Little League games,
and our headlines (besides
rushing home from work and
grabbing a snack before game
time) he must move like a road
runner, but he has yet to fail
us. His copy is always clean
and needs no editing, which is
a feat we envy.
CHI U RICH correspondents
such as the Homer Alexanders,
Russell Reeves and Ruth Colbey
have been great aides in that
department. On special assign
ments, we've been grateful for
the help of Chuck Rendlesham,
Bill Nelson, Tom Meinhardt,
Don Fortune, Sue Arnold and
Anges Tartara.
ASIDE from the correspon-
dents, special recognition is
due to many secre tarie e S
throughout the city who have
gone out of their way to get
data we have requested, out
standing in this regard have
been Miss Helen Teal, Miss Jean
Richardson, Miss Helen Jen-
nfhgs, Miss Betty Sajteos, Mrs.
Wilma Lally and Mrs. Margaret
Dunlap.
UNDOUBTEDLY when the
page mat is pulled we'll think
of a dozen or more people who
ought to be mentioned specifi-
eally for the fine cooperation
they have given but as memory
presently fails ard space limits
we will just have to thank the
rest of you generally for all
you have done.
IMPRESSIONS. Not being
native to East Cleveland our
impressions Of it do not hinge
on days gone by or on the
opinions of our contemporaries.
