Pix #1 - Reading left to right: top row: Louis Lougree, Edmond Hopkins, Ray O’dell , Lowell Puffenberger. Bottom row: Carl; Berry, Howard went, Howard McFadden, Bob McFadden.

the picture was taken many years ago when those listed and appearing in the photo were on The Fostoria Daily Review basketball team, coached by Ed Hopkins, who at that time was General Manager of the newspaper. F.M. Hopkins was Publisher and editor.

The only person in the photo known for sure to be still living is Ray O’Dell. It is not know if Puffenburger is alive or deceased. All others are deceased.

O’Dell spends winters in Florida and returns to the northern climes for summer. O’Dell brought the photo to POTLUCK just recently before going back south, and it is being published in this last edition of this column prior to “vacation.”

Pix #2 - Ray O’Dell as he appears today.

Vacation time

It’s time to lay aside my pen...cover the typewriter (having already taken care of some correspondence and other miscellaneous matters) and get ready for a much needed vacation.

Yes, I have had a vacation in each of the ten years POTLUCK has been in print, but during those vacation periods I prepared articles in advance for the time of absence.

Incidentally, I figured more than 900 POTLUCK articles were published since the column was born.

Last week’s finish of the Wainwright series is three last complete article until I “get back in the saddle again”, except for any “leftovers” in this week’s column.

I don not know how soon POTLUCK will be back in print. Never fear, there is still much to write about. IN fact, some material for articles is already awaiting my return.

It’s not “goodbye” just “so-long for awhile.”

Dr. Dana Dorsey knew Wainwright

An item that should have appeared in last week’s POTLUCK got lost but has been recovered, so here it is, better late than never.

At a recent Band Concert at Meadowlark Park, Dr. Dana Dorsey directed Fostoria City Band in two numbers. After the concert, I made my way to Dr. Dorsey to congratulate him for the numbers and his direction of the local musicians.

during our conversation I learned that he had known Jack Wainwright. I told him about the Wainwright series and he asked to receive a completed series. They have been sent.

Later, I learned from Ernie Duffield, a member of the Fostoria Band, that Dorsey had two son, both musicians, playing instruments in the bands in Fostoria and Fremont.

Dr. Dorsey, a native West Virginia “mountaineer” is a retired music composer and arranger. He is retired after 36 years of teaching in the southwest section of W. Va., but is presently teaching music part-time at Southern West Virginia community college.

He has endeavored to musically depict the characteristics of the “mountaineer” by folk tunes he has sung or played during his life.

The two musical numbers he directed at Meadowlark Park depicted the life and characteristics of his home state. the two numbers he directed were: “West Virginia Centennial Overture” and “Switzerland of America March.”

Early local history finds its way to me

Recently, Rev. S.B. Reigling, former Fostoria presented to the Review Times an assembled book of photocopied pages as they were originally printed, all of the content being early Fostoria history. The book in turn was turned over to me.

Several years or more ago, I had extracted dates and photos from one of the original books, and included it in articles. there may be other data useful for later articles.

Rev. Reidling is the founder and Director of Fellowship of Christ. His address is P>O. Box 321 Overgard, Arizona, 85933.

The material Reidling presented to the RT was given to him by Allen Swedenborg, grandson of E.W. Allen, former prominent Fostoria, president of the Union National Bank (where Trustcorp is now) and an officer and stockholder in Allen Motor Car Co9. in Fostoria.

Swedenborg is now residing in Wichenburg, Arizona.

Missed more living band members

Cilia Cadwallader called to report Adam Dicken, her brother, who played under Wainwright, is still living. He and his wife reside in Louisville, Ky.

Some readers will recall Adam as a clerk in the drug store, once located in the ground-floor room of the building where Trustcorp is now located.

I had lost track of the dickens in their moving around in the past few years.

Another living Wainwright Band member is Ray Cole, 1045 Cory St., reported to be by Virginia Schutt, E. Fremont St., Sorry, Ray. Thanks, Virginia.
