Adam and the Gants

Formed in 2007 as an entry to the Isle of Wight's well renowned Battle of the bands competition, originally as a joyful endevour. Much to their own surprise this talented quintet and their macho security guard went on to sweep the floor landing themselves a space on the band stand at the 2007 Isle of Wight Festival, joined by acts such as Muse and The Rolling Stones.

Robert Riggs

Born sometime in 1977, this single medium sized man is currently employed with Intelistaff. Robert is a product of Plano Tx, born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Roberts hobbies include golf, beer and hoggin'. Sounds like a strictly entertaining life--is it fulfilling??

VIRUS

vIRUS CN NOT BE REGARDED AS MICRORGANISMS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO LIFE OF THEIR OWN. THE ONLY CHARATERISTIC OF LIVING THINGS DEMONSTRATED BY VIRUS IS REPRODUCTION. Infact, its system of reproduction is termed replication, and it relies on the metabolic apparatus of its host to achieve this. I don't understand the term "hoggin". Is it motorcycle riding?

Richard P. Feynman

Richard Feynman was one of America's greatest Scientist. He was awarded the Nobel Price for his work on Quantum Electro Dynamics. He worked on the Manhatan Project--the project that created the Atomic bomb--, and later became one of the greatest Physics teachers--his books are still used today in many elementary and advanced physics courses.

Brimfield Memorial House Association

In order to save an historic Brimfield Township landmark from the wrecking ball in 1963, the Brimfield Memorial House Association (BMHA) was formed. The same day the Association was officially organized, September 19th, Lawrence Bryner, first Board President signed the bill of sale purchasing the Kelso House from the Shell Oil Company. The price was one dollar.

The original BMHA Charter Members were: Barbara and Lawrence Bryner, Eva and Ralph Bunker, Elsie and Melvin B. Duncan, Melba Edmunds, Agnes and Michael Haska, Bernice and William Heasley, Olive Hobbs, Richard and Ruth Jameson, Carl C. Jones, Michael Keegan, Carol McCormick, Cora Lee and Edgar McCormick, Hazel McGovern, Julia M. Moulton, Lillian Fowler Overholt, Cyrus T. Plough, Mr. And Mrs. W.D. Powell, Kenneth Robenstein, Philip R. Shriver, Ruth and Winan Synder, C.M. and Lois Stewart, Harry and Vernie Twitchell, Viola Twitchell, Dolores and Earl Wertenberger, Aleda and Glen Wise.

Thus began Brimfield Township’s historical society, dedicated to the preservation of its culture and history. The spirit of volunteerism has been the greatest part of the success and growth of the Association. The forty-one Charter Members signed on with determination and raised enough money to move William Kelso’s Inn, built in1833, from its original site south of Brimfield Center to newly purchased land next to Brimfield Elementary School.

Nine original volunteers gathered on September 20th, 1963 and held the first work day to ready the Kelso House for the journey to its new location. The Greek Revival style house remains the focus of the Commons today. Over the years, a garden house, corncrib, granary, and barn have been added to the grounds.

The BMHA is governed by a nine member Board of Trustees that meets monthly from September through May. A general meeting of the BMHA membership takes place in June. The Board employs a curator to oversee museum exhibits and selected events.

An historical account of the founding and the growth of the BMHA is found in: Working to Make It Happen: Thirty Years of Historic Preservation, The Brimfield Memorial House Association, Inc. by Edgar L. McCormick published by The Kelso House Press (1993). Copies are available for purchase at the Kelso House or call 330-673-1058 for more information.
