After graduation in 1968, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as a non-combatant, first training as a medic at Fort Sam Huston, followed by nine months of additional training at Valley Forge General Hospital in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. He finished his training as a Specialist 3 and 91C, MOS, and went on to serve in Bamberg, Germany, with combat engineers for one year.

Description: Promont House, shown in this 2.75" x 2.75" (6.99 x 6.99 cm) slide, belonged to John M. Pattison, the 43rd governor of Ohio. The home was built in 1865 by William Megrue; Pattison purchased it in 1879. Promont House is built in the Italianate style. In 1983, owner James Kirgan bequeathed the house to the Greater Milford Area Historical Society, which restored it to the period 1879-1906 when Pattison owned the home. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Pattison (1846-1906) was born in Clermont County, Ohio. After serving in the Civil War, he attended Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. He was president of Union Central Life Insurance Company before being elected governor in 1906. The stress of the campaign took a toll on Pattison's health, however, and he died June 18, 1906, six months after his inauguration. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads: "Opening Game- Apr.15-1941. Parking lot, back of Cin. Ball Park showing press boxes and rear of grand stand." This is a photograph of the parking lot behind Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio. The parking lot is full of cars and the press box is visible above the stadium. Crosley Field was located at the corner of Western Avenue and Findley Street in Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally named Redland Field, this steel and concrete Major League Baseball park was designed by architect Henry Hake and cost $225, 000 to build. It was renamed Crosley Field in 1934, when the team was bought by local businessman Powel Crosley Jr. Crosley Field was one of the smallest parks in the MLB, in both capacity and field size, and was notorious for "the terrace", a fifteen degree incline in left field. The last game at Crosley Field was played June 24, 1970, and the team moved to Riverfront Stadium. It was destroyed on April 19, 1972, and today seven buildings and a street occupy the place where it stood. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Reverse reads "Elsinore Tower, Eden Park, Cincinnati" Eden Park Located between Gilbert Avenue and Columbia Parkway (U.S.) and comprised of about 185 acres in the Mount Adams community of Cincinnati, Ohio, Eden Park was assembled by a series of purchases beginning in 1859. The name came, naturally, from the Garden of Eden and was given by Nicholas Longworth who owned a large tract which constitutes the main portion of the park. Eden Park is the home of the Cincinnati Art Museum, Cincinnati Art Academy, the Navigation Monument, the Capitoline Wolf Statue, and the Irwin M. Krohn (Eden Park) Conservatory. Elsinore Arch The Elsinore Arch (sometimes called Elsinore Castle, or Elsinore Tower) is an impressive stone entrance to Eden Park, with steep stairs leading to the Cincinnati Museum of Art. It was designed by Charles B. Hannaford in 1883 as a result of the Kronborg Castle backdrop for Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” at Music Hall. It was not only intended as an impressive entrance, but also a means for the Cincinnati Water Works to extend the water main supply tunnel, which started at a reservoir in Eden Park. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption on reverse reads: "Turkey Scene. Dennison. Wesley Green Photographer, New Phila. Nellie E. Kaltenbaugh, Ohio Writers' Project, New Phila." Dennison is located about 9 miles south of New Philadelphia. In the eighteenth-century Benjamin Franklin campaigned to have the wild turkey as the national symbol of the United States. He lost his battle, but the turkey won its battle of survival in Ohio to become a recovered species. History Pre-Settlement Wild turkeys were used extensively by Native Americans for food and their feathers were used for ornamentation. Settlement Early settlers commonly saw flocks of 30-50 turkeys in the winter. As more people moved permanently to the state, unrestricted hunting, and the fact that they were a favorite food, caused populations to decline. 19th Century By 1832, no turkeys could be found near Mansfield. Local extirpation had occurred through most of Ohio counties by the 1850s. No attempts were made to stop their disappearance. 20th Century By 1904, turkeys were extirpated from Ohio. In the late 1930s - early 1940s, many farms in southeastern Ohio were abandoned, allowing forests to regrow and turkeys to return. From 1956 to 1963, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources tried, unsuccessfully, to introduce turkeys that had been hand raised. However, as natural populations increased, many were moved to other areas of the state. Today they live in twenty-two Ohio counties. View on Ohio Memory.
