I was born in Dayton and my father worked for the National Cash Register Company as a research chemist. He has several patents to his name which were taken out by the company in the search for the perfect carbonless paper. Nowadays I live in Fairborn right next door to the air force base. Being an army retiree it makes it handy to be close to the base amenities.

You can also say that Coach "Woody" Hayes went to your high school; he even played center on the school's football team.

69 Coronet....
I found that Dayton was a BIG MOPAR area!
I bought my first and second Mopar there.
1. A 70 Dodge Challenger 440 from a Charlie Caudill in Fairborn, just over the bridge (Maple ave) off to the left.
2. A Dodge Charger from a infamous ol-timer...Kenny Justice in Dayton.
Get this, in 1984 Kenny Justice had a white 70 Superbird, 440 4BBL auto on console, blue interior he had picked up in Indy.
asking price was $3,500 at the time too "RICH" for my Air Force budget!

Ha Ha Ha...
I'm such a loser!

My mom worked on the carbon-less paper project.

She worked for Mead Paper, then Mead Tech Lab (with secret clearance, nonetheless), and finally NCR.

IIRC, Mead Tech was bought by AT&T and became part of Lucent.

Mom also worked on currency paper submissions, the UPC scanner project, and helped develop pictures from Skylab!

At age 10, I could tell by feel, what style and weight of paper was used for just about every application.

We had boxes and boxes of samples, all with the color, grain, and weight (also watermark) printed in a tiny font at the bottom.

Dayton had an AirTemp plant, which my uncle worked for twice- 1969, and 1980-1992.

Other than that, there were LOTS of GM plants, being the birthplace of DELCO (Dayton Electric Co).

Here's one- Trolley buses.

I almost forgot~~~mom also worked on the Lexis/Nexis project. The digitizing, archiving and remote retrieval of print media and other data. Read that as "forerunner of the internet", or at least a very vital portion thereof.

...and this was in the late 70's and early 80's!

My late father (he died in 2011) always said that Barry Green (his boss at NCR) was the guy who had the idea of carbonless paper and he, my father, was the midwife that delivered the baby. He was always proud of the part he played in making it a success. There's a picture of Barry Green at the Carillon Historical Park identifying him as the originator of the carboness paper product.
Here's a picture of my dad working on a test run at his scale model paper mill. This probably was in the late 1950s.

On February 14, 1861 Abraham Lincoln, on his way to his first inauguration, spoke to a large gathering in front of the Whitacre house, a hotel, in Wellsville.

In 1770, George Washington with his friend and personal surveyor, William Crawford surveyed the Wellsville area (just north of the Yellow Creek [6]) in 1770

Born and raised in Cleveland, currently living in Litchfield, Medina County.

Litchfield Township is located southwest of Cleveland, Ohio. It is in Medina County and the geographical boundaries are marked on the north and west by Lorain County, on the south by Chatham Township, and on the east by York Township.

Just after the war of 1812 an eastern land speculator, Judge Holmes of Litchfield, Connecticut, came into possession of the area. Although records are scarce, it seems no one settled permanently in the territory, even though three roads were built, and the land reverted back to the state of Connecticut and was later set apart as No. 3, Range 16.

The settlement of this area began in the winter of 1830 and thus begins the story of our township.

Taking up a side job of a gravedigger and exhuming this post. Wanted to know if anyone from the Cleveland area recalls a dealership called, "Mayfield Sales & Services, Inc." ? Bonus points if anyone knows of a Harry Krause from the 60’s era that lived in Cleveland. He was the original purchaser of my 62 Fury. Long shot, but worth a shot.
