History of the Firelands

douglas@welchwrite.com (Douglas E. Welch) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 12:22:58 PDT

A short history of the area in Ohio where I grew up. Even as rural as the area is, it is hard to imagine it as "the frontier" with a variety of native tribes living off the land and, in some cases, fighting for the French against the English. We have regularly found artifacts in our fields including arrowheads, skinning tools and more. The tribes live on here, in name only at least, as county, town and street names and more. Some include Erie, Huron, Wyandot, Tuscararwus (sp?)

After a very busy 6 months for both my wife and I, things are easing up a bit. Still lots of family stuff to deal with on our upcoming 2 weeks in Ohio, but I hope to get some relaxation in, too.

Whenever I can find time, I try to re-dedicate myself to creative thinking, so when I came across this book I knew I wanted to read it as soon as I had time. The local LA Public Library came through with a copy, so I am reading it along with several others. I will probably be one of the books I take on our trip, too.

Douglas appears in "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" Segment

Update (6/24/09, 7:15 pm) - I forgot to include the fact that you can see the entire presentation from LaidffCampLA (where they recorded these clips) on this blog under Video: Visibility and Your Career from LaidOffCampLA.

During LaidOffCampLA back on May 1, 2009, The News Hour with Jim Lehrer sent a crew to record the sights and sounds for an upcoming report. I just found out that that story has now appeared.

Jobless Find a Creative Voice in Southern California is an overview of the issues with layoffs and downsizing and LaidOffCampLA plays a small part. I have 2 nice quotes in the video, so I wanted to pass it along to you. You will see me briefly starting around 6:50 in the video.
