  • Views and 60 Items Were Prepared for Museum Ences for History in Our New Environment While- Exhibits
    Queen City Heritage CHS Today The Cincinnati Historical Society turned 163 years old in 1994. Until 1990, CHS collected historical materials, maintained an exceptional regional research library and dreamed of adding a museum component like its counterparts in other cities. That dream came true four years ago when the museum opened at Museum Center at Union Terminal; and since, has presented 34 exhibits and welcomed nearly a million visitors. In essence, CHS turned from a very private institution, into a very public institution that continues to change and evolve. The dream of becoming a museum was not without cost. Since moving into Union Terminal with The Museum of Natural History and Museum Center Foundation, CHS, as well as CMNH and MCF, have all incurred substantial financial losses. To afford opportunities for improved financial perfor- mance, in November, the three organizations announced plans to merge into a single, non-profit corporation called The Cincinnati Museum Center for Natural and Cultural History and Science. The new entity will oversee all the current activities and programs of the two museums and the Foundation, including cultural and natural history exhibits, collections, the Historical Society Library, the 1788 Club and Hopewell Council, the Omnimax Theater, the Edge of Appalachia Preserve and the Union Terminal facility. In its 163 years, the Society has changed its name, moved locations, added a museum and will now merge with two other organizations. However, one thing has not changed — the mission of the organization. This mission is being ful- filled more completely today than ever in our history. Whatever change awaits the Society in the future, its mission will remain constant.

  • Nick Clooney
    This transcript was exported on Feb 14, 2021 - view latest version here. Charlie Mechem: Welcome to 15 Minutes with Charlie. I'm your host, Charlie Mechem. This a series of podcasts that I've been doing in connection with my recently published book, Total Anecdotal, in which I sit down with guests to discuss anecdotes from the book. My guest today is Nick Clooney. Mickey is a well-known, loved American television personality. He is brother to singer and actress Rosemary Clooney, and father to actor and philanthropist George Clooney. Nick is not only a dear friend of many years, but he's one of the best known and most talented and charismatic people that I have ever known. Nick, welcome. Nick Clooney: My goodness. Thank you very much, Charlie. Charlie Mechem: Well, if you look in the dictionary under multi talented, it says simply Nick Clooney. Nick Clooney: How nice of you. Charlie Mechem: Because he has been an award-winning anchorman, variety show host, PBS stalwart, and on and on. Nick and I first met as colleagues at Taft Broadcasting Company in Cincinnati in the 1970s when Nick was the award-winning number one anchor man on our news and the head of our news department. One more thing that you probably heard before, years ago I ran into Nick in the Cincinnati airport. I hadn't seen him in a while. I said, "Nick, good to see you. How you doing?" He said, "I'm doing fine." But he said, "You know, I've spent the first half of my life as Rosie's brother and I'm spending the last half as George's father." I'm sure he said that before, but that's in no way diminishes the luster of this guy.

  • What Epitaph to Write
    What Epitaph to Write In 1989, newspaper columnist Nick Clooney – brother of singer Rosemary Clooney and the father of actor George Clooney – decided he, like a modern-day Huck Finn, wanted someone else to do his work for a little while. So, he invited a variety of local celebrities from the Kentucky-Ohio area to send in their ideas on a column about epitaphs. What would these famous men and women want to have written on their tombstones? He was surprised by the wit and sincerity of the various responses. Ira Joe Fisher, a weatherman, wrote a humorous couple of lines that went like this: “He wanted the mind of Plato, the heart and soul of Socrates. But his life was more of a tribute to Ol’ Mediocrities.” Paul Knue, the editor of the Cincinnati Post, couldn’t make up his mind about what to write until after he and his family went away for a weekend trip. When he returned, Knue knew that he wanted an epitaph that reflected the importance of his family in his life. He chose as the epitaph two simple words: “He Cared.” But the most sweetly whimsical message was from Charlie Mechem, former head of Taft Broadcasting. His epitaph read like this: Dear God, thanks for letting me visit. I had a wonderful time. Is that what you would like to say when you come to the end of your life? You can, you know. Give your life to Christ and look for people you can serve. In doing so, you will find a secret to life very few people ever find.
