Don’t let this autumn month wane without taking advantage of what should be a bountiful harvest for us as family historians. So what invitations, you might ask. Quite simply, I believe we are invited to capitalize on all of the Family History Month activities of these last thirty-one days, and put what we learned into practice. That will make the forthcoming holidays richer experiences of sharing our families’ stories and heritage. Further, all the genealogical research, the DNA results we may have received or become aware of through other’s connections, and the stories we have gathered this past year invite us to organize, preserve and share. There are celebrations galore in November.

  • Trends in Industry in Allen County
    Barrett Legal Brief barrettlaw.com Trends in Industry in Allen County Article prepared for the Quest Club of Fort Wayne and presented in February 2021. Author: David R. Steiner, Esq. Introduction It was the Fall of 1982, and I was entering my Freshmen year in college. I had grown up in Fort Wayne, and the community was plodding through an economic malaise reflective of national conditions in which the dominance of the United States in the world economy was being challenged, most notably, in the automotive industry. I remember my high school soccer coach’s insect-looking car, about half the size of any car I had ever been a passenger in or driven, with a funny rounded “hatchback” trunk. The curiosity was a 1970-something, first generation Honda Civic. He was the father of a growing young family, and I surmised it was all he could afford. Later, I came to realize he was an early adopter of less expensive and, frankly, better quality Japanese-made automobiles. Over my lifetime of car ownership, I have owned more Hondas than any other car brand, and at my peak of car ownership (with three driving-age sons) had four black Hondas in the driveway at one time. In 1982, my best friend from high school was joining me at the same college, and we looked forward to college life with excitement. But for him, particularly, there was concern about the cost of attending college. His father was a supervisor at the InternationalBarrett Harvester assembly plant Legal in Fort Wayne. At its peak,Briefs the plant employed 10,600 workers.

  • Steve Mcdaniel ~ Director
    Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department Staff Reports reporting December 13, 2018 thru to February 12, 2019 Steve McDaniel ~ Director The design team members for the next phases of Riverfront Development were in town in January for a public engagement meeting at the Grand Wayne. We had great attendance for this event by the public. The consultant for the Franke Park Master Plan had two concepts that they showed at a public meeting on February 7th. That gave the public an opportunity to see the plans and make comments before the final draft plan will be put together. NIPSCO demobilized their work at the Old Fort and in the river. They will be restoring the site in the spring. We have been approached by the landowners of a parcel adjacent and north of Kreager Park. We received two appraisals which the average came in at a little over $2,400. We are putting together a purchase agreement contingent on Board and City Council approval. We received the second disbursement from Regional Cities for RDA funds for Promenade Park in the beginning of January. We are working with a vendor on lease documents, buildout plans, and costs for the restauranteur for Promenade Park. Legal will be reviewing the lease as we look at the construction plans for the buildout of the space. We received qualifications from several companies as we look at a different ticketing system for the Foellinger Theater. We have started the internal review process to determine which system would be best for our use and the customer. We are starting the process to update our Community Needs Assessment.
