Success has many fathers…
Nice to see the Ray Brown park project get mentioned in SPITBALL magazine. (Not sure if I would have worded several sentences in this way.)

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month...
Some photos from my @ohionorthern travel course 4.5 yrs ago. French & German delegations met here at @otcompiegne to sign the armistice.
"The Great War" remains my favorite class to teach. @history_at_onu @onuhpg @GreatWar100
The bldg behind the 18th at St Andrews once was a student dorm. When I was at @univofstandrews for my MLitt, I bartended with a gal who lived in Hamilton Hall during her 1st yr. She told me a fav drinking game was to chip balls out of open windows onto the green. @TheHomeofGolf

I think @belfast is the most underrated city in the British Isles. I think @Bern_Stadt is the most underrated city in continental Europe. Great towns both. That’s all.

This is pretty cool, @LabourHistory, @DebsEbooks, @iww… One can purchase flash drives with these magazine issues digitized, but these are legit. This mag was shut down by the gov’t in 1917 under Anti-Espionage Act. @SmithsonianMag @WWIMuseum

I watched from @edinburgh as I had just started my 6-mo. research stint for my @UB_History dissertation. Watching the WS is not a great way to get over jetlag, btw. At 4:30am, I let out a whoop of sorts following @rajai11davis HR, and woke my landlord.

Great visit to @FortMeigs today for my @ohionorthern public history class. @OhioHistory @warof1812online @1812_Real_Time @onuhpg
In advance of the @OhioNorthernFB-@MountUnionFB game this Saturday, a history student of mine recounted the huge 2005 upset for the @AdaIcon. The OC for Mt. Union that year was @CoachMC_PSU!

Props to @ohionorthern senior Jacey Wonderly, who interned at @TheMammothSite in the @BlackHills of South Dakota last summer. (She's been my Western Civ tutor thrice now.) Making ONU HISTORY look GOOD! @RC_Go_Huskers @rawatersjr

(2/2) My June visit was my 3rd visit to @CityLuxembourg. First 2 happened before I knew about the genealogical discovery. The photo is front of the Grand Ducal Palace was actually on our first wedding Save-the-Date (until we were COVID-delayed). @LuxembourgDuchy @luxembourginfo

(1/2) I got a good and expected email today from @luxembourg. My citizenship application was approved and paperwork should arrive soon via post… My great-great-great grandfather was born in 1820 in the village of Gostingen, just a few miles from the Moselle River.

Late posting this, but the @4castpublicart "Midwest Memory Grant" retreat in West Plains, MO, was terrific. Thanks for the coverage, @wpquill! Forecast stewarded a grant with @MellonFdn funds, and this is what brought $110k to Alger, OH. @ONUArtandDesign @ohionorthern @AdaIcon
A quartet of @ohionorthern students in my public history course will author a "Down Memory Lane" series for the @AdaIcon this fall. Here's the first contribution:

Came back to my @ohionorthern office after a summer away, and I had two handwritten notes from @MikeDeWine in my mailbox. Incredible gesture from a politician and fellow baseball fan. A nice reminder of the Ray Brown dedication in May. @baseballhall @NLBMuseumKC @sabr
