Minutes GDHS
Gave a report on what Gayle asked me
to share, as follows: Gayle spoke with Byron LeCates regarding the cemetery. Atty. LeCates
told her if the cemetery is listed on the deed then when the bank repossessed the property
it would go along with the repossessing. He suggested she speak with the Bank Rep. to see
if they would remove it from the deed and transfer it to the GDHS. Gayle wanted
instructions.
A motion was made by Harry Shermeyer
and a second by Cindy Snyder with a unanimous vote of the membership to have Gayle talk to
the Bank Rep. Jan Eisenhart questioned about a sub-division having to be done-Madelyn
asked if the Borough could waive this? Not sure that could be done because the GDHS would
need a deed to the Cemetery.
Atty. LeCates told Gayle to call Ron
Hershner (he is to become the head of the Heritage Trust and talk to him about the Stouch
Diaries agreement. Gayle called but did not get a return call. Atty. LeCates told her to
call again-sometimes people are so busy and fail to return calls.
Madelyn suggested Larry Law ask for
volunteers to clean out the storage shed at the blacksmith shop. Bob Merkert said he spoke
with Ken Snyder, owner of Capital Storage and Ken said, our price of $23 per month will
not be increased. Madelyn asked why would we want to continue paying for storage when we
have a storage shed. That was one of the purposes of buying this shed. Madelyn also
suggested, as was discussed previously, that we call the Architectural Warehouse and ask
them to come here and take those articles taht are not part of the Dover area
history. Lucia Hrinyak made the motion and was seconded by Cindy Snyder to clean
out the shed and move the archives from Capital Storage as soon as possible or by November
1. A unanimous vote of the membership upheld the motion.
Madelyn asked if the October Fest
committee could meet in August. She suggested they meet at the log House in the evening.
Madelyn will get a date from the recreation director to reserve the Log House.
Ted Ziegler, our blacksmith introduced
Mr. Bushey, the gentleman who would be helping him. Mr. Bushey. Ted showed a hook
that he made when he fired up the forge for the first time at the blacksmith shop. There
was discussion about what he could make for the Open House/Dedication in May. One item Ted
suggested was the horseshoe finger ring. There was also discussion about having an Open
House this fall. I asked if that wouldn’t detract from the Open House/Dedication we
were planning for May. There were some members that thought it would and some said, it
could be ‘good advertising.’ Madelyn said, if there is going to be an Open House
this Fall and Ted has items for us to sell she doesn’t
think a date should be put on these since the date of the Open House/Dedication would be
dated and considered the first items coming from the Blacksmith Shop. Not much discussion
on this. It was also suggested that an Open House be held just for the GDHS membership.
Nothing was decided.
The Daily Number Lottery Tickets will
be ordered. Madelyn will go to Sir Speedy since this is where the GDHS bought their Quilt
tickets, at a reasonable price.
