VETERANS' MEMORIAL DATE: 19 March 2018 WEST LOVELAND AVE & RIVERSIDE DRIVE, LOVELAND, OH 45150 PAGE: 1 DIRECTORY OF PAVERS -- REPORT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS REPORT PURPOSE: To identify the specific location -- by Section, Row and Paver number -- in the Loveland Veterans' Memorial where patriotic veterans, family members and visitors can locate the pavers for their patriotic family members who served in the military, friends who served, or pavers with messages non-specific to any one veteran. In early October of 2017, this veteran found it difficult to find my father's paver in the Loveland Veteran's Memorial. Subsequent checking at the Blue Ash Veterans Memorial and paver makers in the U.S. found there did not appear to be a software program. Likewise, I was not able to find a smartphone app to locate pavers. Therefore, as a Marine Corps veteran, retired civilian U.S. Army Information Management Officer, Genealogist, Author and Publisher, I decided to design, develop and document the following Directory of Pavers spreadsheet software program and report. I approached Mr. Dave Kennedy, City Manager for the City of Loveland and offered to prepare a Directory of Pavers program and report for the benefit of the community. With Mr. Kennedy's assistance, Ms. Ann Gott provided me with a 48 page printout of the existing Veterans' Memorial pavers. Thirty pavers on each page, for approximately 1,400 pavers. The pavers contained up to 6 lines of inscriptions, and identify their specific address location in the Memorial. From the 48 page report, I then proceeded to transfer significant information from the 6 lines of paver inscriptions into 8 columns of data elements in the newly created Directory of Pavers report. Page 2 outlines the column contents for each data element. After a rough draft of the Directory of Pavers report was prepaired, I then "walked" the Veterans' Memorial and eyeball compared the new report to each paver in the site. I found this to be a slow process, and subsequently sent a request to David Miller, Editor and Publisher of the LovelandMagazine. com and sought his help in locating volunteers to assist me. David published my request on his website, and shortly thereafter several volunteers "answered the call." I have been keeping the City of Loveland officials abreast of my progress by sending them periodic revisions of the report. Frequently daily. My hope is the City of Loveland will publish my report on their website by placing it on the Veterans' Memorial web-page. My thanks to City of Loveland Officials Dave Kennedy, Misty Cheschire and Ann Gott; to Loveland Magazine Editor David Miller; and to volunteers Andy Batemen, Rachel Wiltburger, Christine (Golladay) Hassert, Nathan Hassert and Chris Mihalik.
