------------------------------------------------------------------ FORWARDED MESSAGE - Orig: 4-Jan-99 21:03 Subject: Re: Ohio Bicentennial in 2003 ------------------------------------------------------------------ From: MHersey@aol.com To Maggie and the list: There was a recent article in The Columbus Dispatch about plans for the Ohio Bicentennial in 2003. It was discussing the goal of having at least one barn in each county with the Bicentennial logo painted on it. The search for barns continues. Call 888-644-6200. To date there are 12 done. However, I wonder how those of us interested in Ohio history could contribute. Are there people writing updated county histories (1900s)? The article said AT & T is funding a six- to 12-hour video to be used in classrooms in the state. Stephen George is the executive director of the Ohio Bicentennial Commission. There are regional coordinators: Central OH is Carmelita Boyer, office at the Statehouse; Southeast is Nichola Moretti, office in Lancaster: Northwest is Beth Hansen, office provided by United Auto Workers Local 12; Northeast is Jennifer Maringo, office in downtown Cleveland paid for by East Ohio Gas. Southwest Ohio coordinator has not been hired yet. Office will be at Cincinnati's Cinergy Field. Anyone looking for a job? If anyone on the list is interested in seeing what they could do to contribute, email me privately and I will contact the Columbus office for more information.
