  • THE FISCHER FAMILY of BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND: a PICTURE of the LIFE of a GERMAN-AMERICAN FAMILY in the EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY in 1990, Rudolph F
    THE FISCHER FAMILY OF BALTIMORE COUNTY, MARYLAND: A PICTURE OF THE LIFE OF A GERMAN-AMERICAN FAMILY IN THE EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY In 1990, Rudolph F. Fischer, Sr. finished writing his recollections from child- hood. Although Mr. Fischer intended his narrative solely for his family, the story he tells will likely appeal to many. He focuses on his own experiences yet recounts a virtual chronicle of life in rural Baltimore County in the early twentieth century. Mr. Fischer is now deceased, but his son, Rudolph, Jr., has graciously con- sented to the publication of his father's narrative in the Report. The story is presented largely as Mr. Fischer wrote it. Some explicit references to fami- ly members have been omitted, and several notes and illustrations have been added to make the whole accessible to a wider audience, particularly those who might not be intimately familiar with the geography of Baltimore City and County (Ed.). In June, 1896, my grandfather, Friedrich stated: "having declared an oath taken in J. Fischer, purchased four acres, one open court his intentions to become a citizen rood and eight perches1 of land on the of the United States and that he doth north side of Bird River Neck Road from absolutely renounce all allegiance and James J. Milling, He paid $40.00 per acre fidelity to the Emperor of Germany of or a total price of $172.00. whom he was heretofore a subject."

    JANUARY—1978 the HeKeystone State's , MI Offieiat y FtSHtNG BOATING I Magazine... J^ 30 tmmmm^mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmtm/s\nq\e Cop SUMMING IT UP nr he January issue of the Pennsylvania Angler has traditionally -*- contained the Annual Report for the fiscal year which ended last June. Because of the time needed to summarize and assemble the statis­ tics, and the lead time needed for publication, the printing of the Annual Report is delayed until the end of the calendar year. The natural tendency would be for our readers to suppose that in these comments we are really summarizing our "boasting" and "complaining" for the calendar year which just ended. Such is not the case but we certainly hope that the readers of this publication will take the time to read in detail the contents of that Report because it is the closest most of our stockholders come to really getting an understanding of what a relatively small but complex organization does with their money. The 1976-77 fiscal year was not a year for sitting back and relaxing. It seems that the speed at which the world turns over must have tripled recently ... or else we're getting old. We have been more and more involved with activities that somehow seem to be just on the fringe of our purview but yet take so much time. Our involvement with the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council and the time spent in trying to provide input for the implementation of fishery management plans from three miles offshore to 200 miles out will, down the future years, certainly affect Pennsyl- vanians indirectly; in many ways we look for direct benefits from the protection and intelligent management of anadromous fish.
