  • New Press Club, Thanks to Tom to Tom Hewitt, a Public Relations
    New Press Club, Thanks to Tom To Tom Hewitt, a public relations specialist at Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., what may have merely seemed like a nice idea in the interest of fraternity is now a part of Akron's professional communications history. For several months in the autumn of 1970, there had been casual talk among people in the press: "Akron needs a press club." Everyone seemed to think it was a good idea but no one took the initiative to follow through. Then Tom turned the idea into action. Tom came from Detroit, where he had belonged to a very active press club that met for lunch and, from time to time, to hear interesting speakers. Most of all, the Detroit Press Club provided a popular place for people from newspapers, television, radio and public relations to get together after work. Since Tom was in public relations, he didn't think he should be the one to promote the idea of a press club. Rather, he thought it should be someone from the media so he called Mickey Porter at The Akron Beacon Journal. The two of them invited a few colleagues to form an organization to meet at a favorite watering hole after work. The place: the Mayflower Hotel Bar. No one seems to remember everyone at that first get-together, but, besides Tom and Mickey, some of the attendees were Tom Duke from B. F. Goodrich's public relations department; Jerry Healey, WAKR radio personality; Dale Antram, Firestone Tire & Rubber public relations; Loris Troyer from the Record-Courier; and Ben James, Ken Cole, Murray Powers, Ralph Iula and Dick McBane from the Beacon.

  • The Keokuk Cardinals 1958 – 1961, Midwest League a Class D Farm Club of the St
    The Keokuk Cardinals 1958 – 1961, Midwest League A Class D Farm Club of the St. Louis Cardinals By Steve Smith Keokuk baseball has a long and illustrious history. At its peak in 1960, the small city— located on the bluffs of the Mississippi River in the southeast corner of Iowa—had a population of 16,300. Keokuk’s professional baseball history began in 1875 when the Keokuk Westerns became the State of Iowa’s only major league team. For over three quarters of a century until the Dodgers and Giants moved west in 1957, the City of Keokuk shared with St. Louis the distinction of being one of only two cities west of the Mississippi River to have a major league team. In 1875, the Keokuk Westerns became a member of the then-major league National Association. Keokuk competed with the likes of Boston, Hartford, St. Louis, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington, and New Haven. However, the company proved too fast as Keokuk compiled a 1-12 record before it withdrew from the league on June 16, 1875. Over the next 75 years, Keokuk was a member of the Western Association (1885), the Iowa State League (1904-1906), the Central Association (1907-1915), Mississippi Valley League (1929-1933), Western League (1935), the reorganized Central Association (1947- 1949) and Three-I League (1952-57) prior to entering the Midwest League in 1958 as a farm club of the St. Louis Cardinals. Future major leaguers who passed through Keokuk on their way to the major leagues included Charlie Hollocher, Ken O’Dea, Joe Becker, Gus Bell, Roger Maris (32 HRs and 111 RBIs with the 1954 Keokuk Kernels) and Stan Pitula.
