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.

    WHY FORT WAYNE? Community and Economic Development in the Urban Center of Northeast Indiana Electric Works is thoroughly redefining “quality of place” for the city and the region – and beyond. This bold, adaptive reuse of General Electric’s 39-acre, 1.2 million-square-foot campus will be a thoughtful and curated mix of spaces that will once again drive connectivity and innovation. As you’ll see, Electric Works is primed to take advantage of the city’s ongoing and expanding renaissance.

    History of the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department The Honorable Mayor Henry C. Berghoff appointed the first Board of Park Commissioners in 1905. The following members were confirmed by city council on June 6: Oscar W. Tresselt, David N. Foster, Joseph M Singmaster, and Ferdinard Meier. Ferdinand Meier was elected president and the board entered upon the discharge of its duties, taking over from the Board of Public Works. The following highlights track the history of the park system since 1863. Year Event 1863 Old Fort Park, first city park, purchased by Mr. Henry Williams and given to city.

    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.

So let’s just brag up this issue and forget the past week ever happened. We begin with Hair, our cover story by Dodie Miller-Gould and the second-ever pro- duction from Three Rivers Music Theatre, the area’s newest professional actors pro- duction company. Given the state of the world today, reviving this 60s musical seems particularly appropriate. And the songs are impossible to shake once they’re lodged in your brain. Highly recommended. Also from the 60s, but a different bag entirely, are The Osmond Brothers, part of the Foellinger’s summer concert series. Michele DeVinney interviewed Brother Jimmy for her piece that appears on page 5.
