An Inspiration to Anyone THE JERRIE MOCK STORY

26 32

Too few know the remarkable story of a modest central Ohio homemaker who accomplished an aviation feat that women had been unsuccessfully striving for since the 1930s. Surprisingly, some wanted to see her fail.

The Brown Family Legacy BRINGING PRO FOOTBALL TO CINCINNATI By the time Paul Brown was fired as head coach of the Cleveland Browns after 17 years at the helm, his status as an architect of the game was already cemented. But with the help of his son, Mike, he was able to bring professional football to Cincinnati and in doing so maybe even saved the Cincinnati Reds.

Julia’s Child

THE DAYTON ART INSTITUTE This year the Dayton Art Institute celebrates the 100th anniversary of its birth. Few people in the history of the museum and school had a greater impact on it than Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell. She could justifiably take parental pride in the institution’s success.

Mind of a Sage, Soul of a Boy

NATIONAL WILDLIFE ARTIST BOB HINES Self-taught wildlife artist Bob Hines grew up outdoors exploring up and down the Sandusky River from his home in Fremont. He once summed up his approach to drawing living creatures: “By suggested movement you can give an animal power or weakness. Depending on the stance, you can make him dance or sing.”

LET TER FROM OUR EDITORS OK, so here’s the problem with Ohio history. Simply put, there are too many stories to tell and not enough space in our magazine to do them all justice. It’s a great problem to have. Consider two of the features in this issue, one about Cincinnati Bengals owner Mike Brown and another about the Dayton Art Institute. We sat down one fine late-summer day to transcribe the Ohio History Connection’s recording of Brown’s oral history. The interview ran to 1 hour and 15 minutes and the transcript to 6,905 words and several compelling hours. If we were to run the oral history in its entirety, it would eat up roughly 17 pages of Echoes without a single image to bolster your courage. So it had to be edited (we hope, judiciously), though you can listen to the interview from beginning to end at ohiohistory.org/bengals. As written, Mike Williams’s original story about the 100th anniversary of the Dayton Art Institute was a little lengthy for Echoes Magazine. (This is as good a place as any to remind you that there’s always more you can learn about any subject in the magazine. That’s why we include a “Learn More” section with most feature stories, offering suggestions to guide you on your way.)

What’s In every issue of Echoes Magazine, we feature the stories of Ohio History Connection members and other Ohioans to stoke memories and shed light on our shared past. For this issue, we asked,

“ How long have you lived in Ohio, and what’s your family’s story?” Here are some of your responses: THE DOERFLERS My great-grandfather, Johann Wolfgang Doerfler, arrived in Baltimore from Beyreuth, Germany, in 1856. Immigration officials changed his last

We worked carefully with Mike to narrow the focus down to the person we all agreed was the single most important figure in the history of the Dayton Art Institute, Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell. That decision gave us room to include several images the Dayton Art Institute provided depicting the past 100 years. (The challenge of paring down images for each feature is a story for another time.) As we suggested above, this is a fine problem to have. And we appreciate that it comes with the territory. Just keep in mind—the stories you read in these pages are invitations into an even larger story that you very well may want to explore.

Johann Wolfgang Doerfler

name to Dafler. He found his way west to become a farmer in Preble County, where the Dafler family has had roots ever since. Johann's grandson was my dad, Joseph, who married a Preble County redhead, Wanda. They had 12 children, eight of whom shared her flaming red hair. The youngest returned to Lanier after our mother, Wanda, died the summer before his junior year in high school. Eight of the nine sons served in the military, as did a brother-

Your Story? —Fred Dafler, Columbus

THE LOWES AND THE HILLS My four grandparents lived a total of 295 years in Ohio, plus four years in Germany by my maternal grandfather, Henry A. Lowe, who came to Cleveland in 1871 as a four year old. The parents of my maternal grandmother, Katherine Heiser Lowe, were born in Germany, so I am both a second- and third-generation descendant of German immigrants. The only German I learned from my mother, however, was Gesundheit and danke schön. Nanny Lowe’s mother married Anton Turajski after her father, August Heiser, had died when my grandmother was only a couple of years old. Anton thus was the only Grosspapa my mother knew. Anton was also a correspondent writing under the byline “Uncle Anton” for the German language newspaper Waechter und Anzeiger. My paternal grandparents, Lloyd M. Hill and Mabel Tuttle Hill, had Scottish and English ancestors that immigrated to America as early as 1638 and whose descendants subsequently moved to Ohio. —Daniel M. Hill, Columbus

Katherine Heiser Lowe

THE SALLS My hometown—I guess you would call it a village—was Ourosogui in Senegal. When I got older, we moved to Dakar (the capital). When I was growing up, my father, Hamady Sall, traveled all the time and was in almost every country in Africa. He finally was able to travel to America in the late 1980s. He went back and forth. In 2004, when I was 11, we started the process of moving our family to the U.S. By the time my mother, Fateoumata, and I made our journey, everything had already been set up by my father, who was working three jobs at the time of our arrival. Though I should have gone into the ninth grade, school officials placed me in seventh grade. It was OK. I was sort of a class clown. I learned English by watching Family Guy and South Park, which got me into some trouble. My people are nomadic. You can’t touch any place on the globe where my family is not or has not been. —Djiby Salls, Columbus

THE CHA ATS AND THE SMITHS Although both of my parents’ families are from Oklahoma, my parents moved to Ohio in the mid-1970s and had influential careers here. Paula Chaat Smith was an enrolled member of the Comanche Nation and the family’s Comanche name is Chahtinneyackque. Clodus R. Smith is a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. Clodus served as president at Lake Erie College and Rio Grande College and as vice president of development at Cleveland State University. Paula was director of the American Indian student cultural enrichment program for Cleveland Public Schools. Paula loved children and taught elementary school for two decades, where she observed the harmful effects of bias and stereotypes on her students. During the 1970s, she became an early practitioner of multicultural education by making hundreds of presentations to schools and civic groups about “unlearning American Indian stereotypes.” —Marti L. Chaatsmith, Columbus

THE RIZALS My family arrived in America on Aug. 27, 2008. I’ll never forget it. Before I was born, my mother and father were forced to leave Bhutan for political reasons. They were kicked out and moved to Nepal, where they lived in a refugee camp for 18 years. I was born in the refugee camp and was there for 10 years. My first year in Overland Park, KS, where we moved, I was behind. I didn’t speak any English. I was crying every day on the bus. It’s hard to describe how everything was different here, the language, the food, the people, the clothing, everything. Coming here turned our world upside down. But things improved. My parents had five daughters. In Nepal, it is not good to have a daughter. It is better to have a son. My mother didn’t go to school, but all her brothers did. Now my parents are watching their daughters go to school, go to college, begin their careers. I’m a sophomore in The Ohio State University College of Nursing. —Tika Razil, Columbus

Ohio History Fund grants benefit historical societies, museums, public libraries, historic preservation groups, genealogical societies, university archives and special collections, archaeological societies, county records-management offices and history-related projects by other nonprofits and public entities. Since 2013, the Ohio History Fund has awarded an average of 10 grants a year to historyrelated organizations and projects throughout the Buckeye State. The average grant is $9,500. History Fund grants totaling $598,000 to date have leveraged an additional $1,000,000 in local matching funds. “Two recent projects include an archaeological study that illuminated

In the case of grants to repair historic buildings, for example, structural deterioration was stopped and reversed. Collections-care projects advanced preservation of one-of-akind artifacts that local historians use to tell important community stories.” Most revenue for this program comes from voluntary contributions Ohioans make through the Ohio History Fund “check-off” on state income tax forms. The Ohio History Fund grants program receives additional revenue from sales of Ohio History “mastodon” license plates and direct private contributions to the Ohio History Connection that are specified for use by the History Fund.

Recent Ohio Additions to the National Register of Historic Places CANTON • STARK COUNTY CARL AND AUDREY LAVIN HOUSE 5240 Plain Center Ave. N.E.

Added to the National Register for its architectural significance, the Lavin House is one of two single-family homes in Ohio designed by the internationally known Chicago-based firm George Fred Keck–William Keck– Architects. Beginning in the 1930s, “George Fred Keck, whose brother William later joined him as partner, was at the forefront of residential design incorporating passive solar heating.” Built in 1955 and updated by the Lavins and Kecks in 1968, the house features innovative techniques of solar heating, evaporative cooling, energy conservation and sun screening. BERLIN CROSSROADS VICINITY • JACKSON COUNTY BATTLE OF BERLIN HEIGHTS ENGAGEMENT SITE

In the November & December 2018 Echoes Magazine, CEO & Executive Director Burt Logan announced the Ohio History Connection’s intent to acquire the lease at the Octagon Earthworks in Newark with the goal of offering full public access, appropriate to an ancient site of international significance.

CLEVELAND • CUYAHOGA COUNTY THE ASTRUP COMPANY BUILDING 2397 W. 25th St.

Danish immigrant William Astrup founded the Astrup Co. in 1876 as a sailmaker for the Great Lakes shipping trade. When ships began relying on steam and diesel power

rather than wind power, the company transitioned to making awnings. An innovative hardware system for installing awnings led to five patents for the company between 1889 and 1912. These and other patents the company acquired over its lifetime left a lasting impact on the awning and canvas industry. The Astrup Co. remained family-owned for 131 years until 2007, including 125 years at this site. The oldest part of the Astrup Company Building dates to 1919. NEW MADISON • DARKE COUNTY KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HALL 118 E. Washington St.

The Civil War came north in July 1863, when Confederate general John Hunt Morgan and his troops raided parts of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Morgan sought to create havoc, and succeeded. His brazen march led to martial law in Cincinnati, partial closure of the Ohio River and mobilization of thousands of local militia. The Battle of Berlin Heights Engagement Site has been added to the National Register for its association with Morgan’s Raid. The engagement by Union militia at Berlin Crossroads slowed Morgan’s progress and closed the gap for pursuing

Union troops, resulting in his defeat at Buffington Island two days later and eventual capture in Salineville, Ohio.

Since 1936, local Masons have met in this twostory Classicalstyle building of red brick with limestone detail. Built in 1904, it has served as a local center of social activity and entertainment ever since, first as an opera house and meeting hall for the local Knights of Pythias and their auxiliary, the Pythian Sisters, then for Fort Black Lodge No. 413 Free and Accepted Masons, and Fort Black Chapter No. 336, Order of the Eastern Star.

Ohio’s Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks—which include Octagon Earthworks, Fort Ancient and Hopewell Culture National Historical Park—represent the world’s largest concentration of ancient American Indian monumental landscape architecture. The earthworks display an astonishing scope, beauty and precision and contain archaeological evidence of the remarkable American Indian culture that lived in what is now Ohio 2,000 years ago. The Ohio History Connection owns the Octagon site, which has been leased to Moundbuilders Country Club since 1910. After years of negotiations beginning in 2013, the Ohio History Connection has determined that our only remaining option to ensure full public access to the earthworks is to acquire the lease, which limits public access to four open houses a year and does not expire until 2078. On Aug. 28, we notified Moundbuilders Country Club of our intent to acquire the lease, and on Nov. 28 the Ohio Attorney General, on behalf of the Ohio History Connection, filed a petition with Licking County Court of Common Pleas to do so. The case has been assigned to a Licking County judge. The Office of the Ohio Attorney General will continue to represent the Ohio History Connection.

PRIVATE JACOB PARROTT

TECUMSEH

One mural, on a barn owned by Arthur and Charlene Bingham at 19691 U.S. 68 near Kenton, honors America’s first Medal of Honor recipient, Pvt. Jacob Parrott (1843– 1908). Born in Ross County but a longtime resident of Kenton, Parrott was a private in Company K, 33rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry, during the Civil War.

The second mural, on a barn owned by Virgil and Virginia Ferguson at 595 Clifton Rd. near Xenia, features a portrait of Shawnee leader Tecumseh.

Both murals are the work of painter Scott Hagan, who also painted the 88 Ohio Bicentennial Barns. Hagan employed hand-painting techniques he’s developed over several years. Both murals use designs by Columbus-area graphic designer David Browning.

MURALS COMPLETED

He received the commendation on March 25, 1863, for his service the preceding year in the Great Locomotive Chase, also known as Andrews’s Raid. Parrott and others commandeered a train—The General—north of Atlanta and used it to destroy and disrupt a rail line vital to movement of Confederate troops and supplies. After 87 miles, the chase ended with the capture of the raiders. Imprisoned, Parrott escaped. Later, he met with President Lincoln, and War Secretary Edwin Stanton presented him with the first Medal of Honor. Other raiders

In the 18th century, Tecumseh worked alongside his brother, Tenskwatawa, to create a coalition of American Indian tribes in the Northwest Territory to defend themselves against settlers. Tecumseh led this coalition, known collectively as the First Nations. He was regarded as a hero among the tribes. Traditionally, he’s believed to have been born at a Shawnee settlement near Old Town in Greene County, just north of Xenia, at a place once called Chillicothe or Old Chillicothe— there were several American Indian villages with that name, including the present-day city of Chillicothe in Ross County. While Tecumseh’s birthday is unknown, it’s thought that he was born in 1768, making 2018 the 250th anniversary of his birth.

MORE OHIO HISTORY BARNS

The Ohio History Connection has partnered with local organizations across the state to complete a series of Ohio History Barns. The murals showcase Ohioans of distinction and Ohio accomplishments, historic sites and events and state symbols. Earlier ones include President Rutherford B.

26 Echoes | JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2019

An Inspiration to Anyone BY JODI ANDES

rom schoolchildren to national aviation experts, few people can correctly answer the question “Who was the first woman to fly around the world?“ Spoiler alert: It was not Amelia Earhart.

Earhart was the first woman who tried to fly around the world, disappearing in the Pacific during her 1937 attempt. Geraldine “Jerrie“ Mock, a homemaker and mother of three who lived in Bexley, Ohio (a Columbus suburb), claimed the title in 1964. Mock died at age 88 in 2014, with many awards, though little present-day name recognition. Today, her sister, Susan Fredritz Reid, devotes much of her energy to making sure that Mock reclaims her rightful place in history. Now in her mid-70s, Reid says, “I go anyplace I can to tell the story.“

WHY NOT ME? The idea to fly solo came out of a December 1962 dinner argument Mock had with her husband, Russell. A homemaker with aspirations of becoming a gourmet cook, she was bored with her daily routine and longed for something more exciting. “Why don’t you fly around the world?“ Russell joked. Once he’d muttered it, Mock couldn’t get the idea out of her head and asked family members, “Why not me?“ She knew from an early age that she wanted to become a pilot. After she did, she recalled telling her parents, Timothy and Blanche Fredritz, at age 7 that it was her intention to use it for world travel. While her high school classmates Why don’t you fly followed lines of work more traditional around the world? for women at the time, Mock was among The Ohio State University’s earliest female students in aeronautical engineering. She quit midway through, after marrying Russell. Still, flying remained her dream, a way to see parts of the world familiar mostly through books. She recognized the risks—though Earhart had been her childhood hero, she wasn’t deterred. Her flight would actually be harder than Earhart’s. First, Earhart attempted the global flight in a twinengine plane, along with an experienced navigator. Mock would fly solo using the family’s jointly owned single-engine Cessna 180. Earhart had been far more experienced—Mock had logged only 750 flying hours and

Mock traveled light but her plane was so small that her luggage, navigational aids and auxiliary gas tanks just barely fit into it.

became certified in the essential skill of high-altitude flying only weeks before takeoff. Finally, instead of Earhart’s new Lockheed Model 10 Electra, Mock’s plane was 11 years old, with paint covering its cracks.

IT BECAME A RACE To accomplish her goal, the plane—now dubbed the Spirit of Columbus—would have to be stripped down to little more than a flying gas can. Mock started plotting a course. With her husband’s help, the mission gained worldwide attention and sponsors, including a loan of $10,000 from the Columbus Evening Dispatch, and numerous news stories. National interest grew as the scheduled flight evolved into a competition. After Mock’s announcement, a more experienced pilot from California—Joan Merriam Smith—proposed her own flight, vowing to be first. Plans for an already difficult and dangerous flight suddenly became a race. With much work necessary on her aging Cessna 180, Mock—now self-styled the “flying housewife“—had less time to do it. For starters, her plane was not designed to fly across oceans. Three of the four seats were removed so almost every square foot could carry extra gasoline. A new engine, long-range radio and other navigational instruments were installed. These made transatlantic flight possible, though left room for little else. Her Dispatch partnership demanded that she have a typewriter to write news stories for wire service transmission. There was room for an oxygen mask and snacks, but her suitcase had to be small. The cockpit was too cramped for even a seat cushion. Mock was

28 Echoes | JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2019

Smith, flying a better-equipped twin-engine Piper Apache, completed her preparations and left California two days ahead of Mock. For Mock, trouble arose even before departing. The Mocks had three children, ages 3, 16 and 17, so her husband had a vested interest in ensuring his wife’s safe return. When he fired up the plane’s engine on the day before she left, oil ran out of the cowling. The new oil filter just installed had been replaced with an old and filthy one that most likely would have caught fire. Mock knew it was sabotage, but she refused to be intimidated.

AN AMERICAN AMBASSADOR Mock saw herself as an American ambassador and hoped to portray a strong American woman. With room for only two skirts and blouses, a sweater and two pairs of heels, conveying the “woman“ part of the equation was challenging. The clothes had to be drip-dry to allow for nighty washing. She could wear shorter heels while flying, and switch to the thencommon taller heels when stepping out of the plane. On March 19, 1964, a crowd gathered at Port Columbus airport to see Mock off, including her husband and their two sons, Gary and Roger. Valerie, the couple’s three-year-old, stayed home with family. As the Spirit of Columbus lifted off, a radio controller announced, “I guess that’s the last we will hear from her.“ Thanks to loudspeakers broadcasting the takeoff, Mock heard the remark but didn’t reply. Once in flight, she discovered her long-range radio was dead. She later learned an antenna wire had been detached and taped. In her mind, it was more evidence of sabotage. Her first landing in Bermuda resulted in her plane spinning 360 degrees from heavy crosswinds. Slamming on the brakes revealed another problem: she needed new brakes. The bad weather in Bermuda was both good and bad: Now grounded for a week, there was time to get her radio fixed, though no one on the island had brakes that fit. Her next stop was the Azores Islands west of Portugal. On the way, she discovered ice forming on the plane’s wings and had to climb out of the clouds to prevent an ice accumulation that could have downed the plane. Then, over Libya, the motor for the plane’s long-range antenna overheated. The antenna trailed behind the plane while in flight, and

the motor served to reel it up before landing. The smell of burning insulation was Mock’s first indication of the motor’s malfunction. Fearing it would spark a fire and explosion in the gasoline-laden plane, she immediately switched it off.

NAVIGATE CUSTOMS AND ACCEPT DELAYS As Mock traveled, she learned to navigate customs and accept delays. At many stops, officials refused to believe a woman was flying alone and checked for a man hidden aboard. Meanwhile, her husband phoned with updates on Smith’s status. Given her mechanical and weather problems, it added unwelcome pressure. “If you call me about Joan one more time, I will take an airliner home,“ she reportedly said. More than halfway into her month-long trip, the plane’s brakes and antenna were finally repaired in the Philippines. The next legs involved crossing the Pacific, with days of more than 12 hours of flying and navigation and little room for error. From Guam, she went to Wake Island, Honolulu and finally Oakland, California. Smith was still in Australia when Mock landed stateside, effectively ending the race. So Mock stopped in Tucson, Arizona, before the final flights to Kentucky and home.

BEAT SMITH BY MORE THAN TWO WEEKS

Mock gave speeches across the country and made TV appearances. To repay her sponsor, she wrote the book Three-Eight Charlie after the last three characters on the plane’s tail number. But Americans were consumed with other issues: the Vietnam War, President Kennedy’s mysterious assassination, the civil rights movement and their daily lives. History would soon forget the “flying housewife.“

NEVER SOUGHT FAME Mock never sought fame and was fine with it. “I just did it because it was fun,“ she insisted. She never flew the Spirit of Columbus again, though she did set other aviation speed and distance records with another plane. "Charlie," Mock’s nickname for the plane, is currently on display in the Smithsonian’s Boeing Aviation Hangar in Chantilly, Virginia. In 2013, as the Mock never sought 50th anniversary fame and was fine of Jerrie Mock’s with it. flight approached, Susan Reid became increasingly frustrated that future generations would have no idea about her sister’s incredible feat. Even the Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio, had no mention of Mock. Two Ohioans, in particular, joined Reid, a determined schoolteacher, to secure Mock’s place in history: Shirley Brooks-Jones, an Ohio State University administrative assistant, and Bill Kelley, a homebuilder. Neither had ever met Mock, but both remembered

Flying more than 23,000 miles in a little over 29 days, Mock had beaten Smith, a more seasoned aviator, around the world by more than two weeks. A crowd of hundreds—including Ohio Gov. James A. Rhodes— awaited Mock at Port Columbus. She and her family were invited to the White House, where President

Though the statues were placed while Mock was alive, declining health meant she could no longer fly. So she watched on Skype from her Quincy, Florida, retirement home to see the first one placed at The Works, a museum in Newark, Ohio. She died just five months after the second statue was installed at the Columbus airport.

LEGACY LIVES ON

It was a tight squeeze for Mock inside the cockpit of the Spirit of Columbus.

the flight and how it inspired them. Their proposal for a Mock statue in her hometown of Newark, Ohio, and Kelley’s willingness to mortgage his house to finance it prompted others to help. They set a goal to have a second statue added at what is now the John Glenn Columbus International Airport and approached the Columbus Foundation for fundraising help. Douglas F. Kridler, president and CEO of the Columbus Foundation, had never heard Mock’s story. Nor had Elaine Roberts, president and CEO of the Columbus Regional Airport Authority, despite her 34 years in aviation. All were inspired by Mock’s feat and agreed to help. An inspiration to “Jerrie’s story serves anyone who has as an inspiration to anyone who has dared dared to dream... to dream the seemingly impossible,“ Roberts says. “I admire that her dream grew not from wanting to be famous, but instead from the thrill of having the experience.“

HONORED WITH STATUES Together, the Columbus Foundation, Columbus Regional Airport Authority and Business Women in Airports raised nearly $100,000 for two life-size bronze sculptures of Jerrie Mock. Artist Renate Burgyan Fackler used Reid, who’s similar in size to her older sister, Mock, as a model. The airport has placed Mock’s statue in its Walking Timeline, commemorating aviation milestones and Ohioans who made them happen, as well as central Ohio aviation history.

Reid feels her sister would be happy to know that her legacy lives on. When sharing Jerrie Mock’s story, she sometimes ends with a quote from her: “I hope … my just doing something that hadn’t been done will encourage someone else who wants to do something very much and hadn’t quite had the heart to try it.“

The Brown Family Legacy BRINGING PRO FOOTBALL TO CINCINNATI Left: Cincinnati Bengals running back Corey Dillon holds the ball aloft after scoring against the Cleveland Browns in 1999’s Battle of Ohio. Associated Press Lower right: Paul Brown in his trademark game-day fedora. Cincinnati Bengals

he day that Art Modell and the Cleveland Browns fired his father, Paul Brown—Jan. 9, 1963—was the day Mike Brown went on a mission to restore the legendary coach to his rightful place as a National Football League head coach.

Mike Brown sat down with the Ohio History Connection last summer to produce an oral history, during which he recounted the years between his father’s firing and his family’s acquisition of the Cincinnati Bengals in the American Football League. “I viewed his firing as a great injustice,” Brown tells the Ohio History Connection during his interview. “And my goal in life was to get him back into football, where he deserved to be.” After flirtations with professional franchises in Philadelphia and Denver, the Browns—father and son—formed an investor partnership and landed the Cincinnati Bengals, who played their home games in 1968 and 1969 in the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium. Longtime Cincinnati sportscaster Dennis Janson was a manager on the football team at UC when the Bengals set up shop there. Says Janson, “Mike said he remembers me leaning up against the goal post and watching the Bengals practice. I don’t recall that. But I was pretty jacked up about the Bengals coming to Nippert for a couple years.” Janson began his career in broadcasting in 1965 as a sophomore at Cincinnati Elder High School. He came to know Mike Brown well over the ensuing decades and is especially appreciative of “the side of Mike Brown that the public never sees.” “Mike was friends with the race car driver Roger Penske growing up in Shaker Heights. And of course, even back then, Penske was crazy about cars. Mike told (former Bengals player) Dave Lapham that Penske would ride your bumper whether you were driving five miles an hour or 50. “This was back in the days when hood ornaments were pretty substantial, and the boys would take turns riding on the hoods of cars while they tried to sideswipe one another. OHIOHIS TORY.ORG

“Imagine that: Mike Brown on the hood of a fricking Pontiac!” When Paul Brown died in 1991, Mike Brown assumed control of the Bengals and served as the owner and general manager. (He’d been the “assistant general manager” since the 1970s.) During his 27-year tenure at the top of the organization, Brown has suffered the slings and arrows common to anyone in the spotlight, many of them sent his way by Cincinnati Enquirer sportswriter Paul Daugherty. “Mike is a guy who I’ve taken my fair number of shots at over the years, and yet when my memoir, An Uncomplicated Life, came out about raising my daughter, Jillian, who was born with Down syndrome, I received a two-page handwritten note from Mike telling me how good the book was.”

If I wasn’t covering him as a journalist, I’d like to have him as a friend. Apart from the Bengals’ wins and losses, their front office moves, their draft picks—all of which are a part of Mike Brown’s legacy—Daugherty says, “If I wasn’t covering him as a journalist, I’d like to have him as a friend.”

I don’t know that it was much different in the Brown household than any other household. My dad was a football coach and that made him something of a celebrity, but that didn’t have much impact inside the four walls of the household. You mentioned your mother, Katie’s, influence.

And when in trouble, we could retreat to her for protection and advice and maybe even help with the judiciary authorities, those being my father (laughs). What are your first memories of football—when your dad coached at Massillon High School?

Well, I would have been three or four, and I remember being tucked into bed and wondering why I couldn’t go to the game. They played night games at Massillon High School. It didn’t seem fair for me to be put aside in that way. And then, shortly thereafter, I was given little toy football players, the Canton McKinley players and the Massillon players. Those were the lead football players. They weren’t toy soldiers. They were toy football players. You played football in high school and at Dartmouth. What was your favorite position?

Well, I was always the quarterback. I got the ball, and I told the others what to do. That was how that worked. Maybe that’s why I liked it so. Did you pick up a lot (about football) from your father?

I think he was probably not too dissimilar when he was younger. … He wanted so to be involved in football when he was young but his father, my grandfather, said that he couldn’t try out for the high school team because he was too small. That set my father to a great mope. Eventually, or not too long afterwards, my grandfather just gave up because he couldn’t stand my father’s reaction anymore and he drove him out to the high school practice site and went up to the head coach, Dave Stewart at Massillon High School, and said, “Here. He’s yours.” My father started out in organized football at that point, and one thing led to another for him. When the Browns were at training camp at Hiram College, did you get special seats?

If I went to training camp, I sat in the stands. … He didn’t want people down on the field. The only time I remember being down on the field during a practice was when Dad was coaching at Bowling Green. I remember sitting on the sideline and Mac Speedie, who was a great receiver for the old Browns, caught a ball and I was too close to the field and Speedie, who was an NCAA champion hurdler, and that was a good thing, because he caught the ball and literally hurdled over top of me.

Associated Press

The Browns and Bengals first met head-to-head (twice) during the 1970 season. Paul Robinson scored the winning touchdown for the Bengals in the second period.

You became a lawyer after Dartmouth and Harvard Law. Did your father have an influence on your career?

My father had one influence (on his career path): He made sure I didn’t become a coach. I probably would have if I’d had my druthers. I found that fun and interesting. Did you and your father become closer when you both worked with the Bengals?

Julia’s Child THE DAYTON ART INSTITUTE, BY MICHAEL WILLIAMS

ven before Dayton residents had ever heard of Calvin Coolidge, they would have heartily paraphrased his most famous quote: “The business of Dayton is business.” Throughout the 1800s and into the following century, Daytonians focused on the growth and prosperity of their industries. Concern for the arts was an afterthought. A small group of Dayton women set out to correct this imbalance. An art association headed by eight officers—six of them women—was founded in 1912 to host traveling exhibits. Their target audience was both children and “grown-up people.” Admission was free to avoid giving the impression that art “was a fad of certain rich people.” Orville Wright was among the 10 prominent Daytonians who incorporated the association as the Dayton Museum of Arts in February 1919, marking the official birthdate of today’s Dayton Art Institute. The former Kemper home downtown became the museum. Within a short time, Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell, head of the house and grounds committee, rose to preeminence. Over the next quarter-century, her vision, generosity and leadership shaped what became the Dayton Art Institute.

ADMIRED ITALIAN CULTURE Born in 1863, Julia was a child of privilege. Her father, George Wilson Shaw, was an executive with multiple paper companies in Dayton. At 18, while on a family trip to Europe, Julia fell in love with the Italian people, language, art and architecture. In 1890, Julia married Frank Patterson, who was vice president of, and a major stockholder in, the National Cash Register Co., a once-failing concern that he and his mercurial brother, John, had transformed into Dayton’s fastest-growing business. It also affected Frank Patterson’s health. He was only 52 in 1901 when he suffered a fatal heart attack. Widowed at 38, Julia still had three children under the age of 11 to raise. In 1909, Julia married Harrie G. Carnell, a childhood friend, who eventually became treasurer of the National Cash Register Co. Both of Julia’s sons enlisted in the Army when the United States entered World War I. Frank Stuart Patterson became a test pilot at Dayton’s Wright Field. During a test of machine-gun synchronization on a De Havilland bomber, a broken tie rod resulted in the plane’s crashing. He died at age 21. The new

Another inspiration for the Dayton Art Institute—the Casino or summerhouse on the grounds of the Villa Farnese Caprarola in Italy.

Army Air Corps facility near Dayton was named Patterson Field in his honor, and later became part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Less than a year after the tragic death of her youngest child, Julia Patterson Carnell threw herself into transforming the Kemper home into the Dayton Museum of Arts, much of it at her own expense. When the museum president died in February 1920, trustees chose her as the successor.

THE DAYTON ART INSTITUTE OF THE FUTURE Initial plans for the museum also included establishing an art school. Two Chicago Art Institute graduates hired in 1919 taught drawing and painting to 32 students. Over the next decade the number of instructors, range of courses offered and enrollment grew steadily. To underline the museum’s educational mission, the organization became the Dayton Art Institute in 1923. The “Circulating Gallery” was a popular institute feature. Artists befriended by a trustee during summer trips to Gloucester, Massachusetts, prepared inexpensive “thumb-box” paintings. The paintings, together with purchased wood-block prints, became the nucleus of a collection available to circulate to local schools and other venues. A benefit of museum membership was the opportunity to check out a painting or print to hang temporarily, or even buy on installment, for one’s home or office.

DONATED LAND AND ENVISIONED MUSEUM As early as 1921, Carnell pondered building a new museum to house the growing school and collection. She was eyeing Steele Hill, a bluff that towered over a bend in the Great Miami River just northwest of downtown. In 1923, she secured an

38 Echoes | JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2019

option on the property and, in 1926, announced her intention to donate the land and pay for a new building there. Even before buying the land, Carnell secured the services of Buffalo’s most prominent architect, Edward Brodhead (E.B.) Green (1855– 1950), whose projects had included art museums in Buffalo and Toledo. At a meeting to decide the architectural style, Green suggested an idiom based on ancient Greece, but Julia Carnell and her son, Jefferson, envisioned an Italian Renaissance palace. Green’s son, then his father’s partner, reported having recently seen Villa Farnese, a 16th-century cardinal’s palace, in Italy. The site reminded him of the grand staircase leading to the villa. The final plan combined inspirations from the Casino, or summerhouse, at the Villa Farnese with the Carnells’ wishes and the topography of the site. The Dayton Art Institute’s structure conformed to its hilltop setting, and three tall, round-arched windows recessed behind a narrow, colonnaded porch would face the river and downtown. A grand staircase with stone balustrades cascaded down the hillside, its middle level rounded like a pair of arms reaching to embrace the city. Warm yellow sandstone outer walls and a colorful terra-cotta roof completed the Italian Renaissance idiom.

BOTH TIRING AND ENJOYABLE Carnell maintained a hands-on presence with each step of the process and found interacting with the contractor and artisans—some directly from Italy— both “tiring and enjoyable.” As the building neared completion, trustees chose a new director to grow the collection and guide the school, which now numbered 20 instructors and over 400 students. Siegfried Weng, their choice, was just 25 years

old but had studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and earned a master’s degree. He was an artist and musician in his own right; his favorite medium was the linoleum cut or linocut. Several hundred guests dressed in their finest were driven up Steele Hill for the presentation of the new building on Jan. 7, 1930. The usually speech-averse Carnell urged everyone in the community “to come and come often.” Her voice choked with emotion as she said, “I feel as if I were giving into your hands a child of my own. Be good to it.”

DAYTON’S LIVING ROOM A cloud hung over the museum’s opening. The stock market had crashed in October 1929 and, after the holidays, businesses were laying off employees. Donors postponed payments on pledges to the institute’s endowment fund, and some canceled their pledges altogether. The expected surge in memberships flattened out. Like most parents, Carnell continued to provide financial support for her newest child throughout its adolescence, but her husband, Harrie, would no longer be at her side after he suffered a fatal heart attack in 1931. Weng endeavored to turn the institute into “Dayton’s Living Room” and boosted attendance with concerts, an early show on industrial design and—in a city with no zoo— even a menagerie of feathered and furry animals.

CARNELL’S VISION COMPLETED Julia Carnell passed away in 1944 during her annual winter sojourn in Florida. Gradually, Dayton-area businesses and philanthropists stepped into the financial breach to support the Art Institute. Weng continued as director until 1950. In 1997, the institute reopened after 18 months of construction to fulfill Carnell’s vision by completing the museum’s enclosure, incorporating a rotunda as a main entrance at its rear. Expansion provided space to display more of its growing permanent collection and to host larger visiting shows. The community has been good to Julia’s child, and thousands each year enjoy her gift.

Mind of a Sage, Soul of a Boy NATIONAL WILDLIFE ARTIST BOB HINES

ildlife artist Bob Hines was born in Columbus in 1912 and was, by all accounts, a slight, handsome, genial and unobtrusive boy.

40 Echoes | JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2019

When he was a teenager, his family moved to Fremont and he wrote in his high school yearbook entry about a person with â€œthe mind of a sage and the soul of a boy.â€? The words were prescient. Hines never lost his boyish wonder at nature and the wild things living in it, never lost his enthusiasm for traveling the country or his excitement at seeing a species for the very first time and drawing it. Though he never became a household name, Hines had a brilliant and wildly gratifying career, working first as a taxidermist and then as an artist for the Ohio Division of Conservation and Natural Resources. His drawing of a redhead duck appeared on the 1946 Federal Duck Stamp, the first in the series to sell more than 2 million copies. Two years later he was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and went to work for an administrator named Rachel Carson, who later went on to write Silent Spring, the book credited with helping to launch the environmental movement.

A NATURAL-BORN ARTIST Hines fell in love with drawing at an early age, making pictures for his mother, Mabel, as she grieved the

death of her newborn daughter in 1916. After the family moved to Fremont, and after his mother, too, passed away, Hines became a Boy Scout and, eventually, an Eagle Scout. He lived to hunt and hike and fish and camp along the Sandusky River. These early experiences would have a profound impact on Hines’s future. In 1928, he graduated from Fremont High School. Not long after, he became a taxidermist, a trade that introduced him to the skeletons and musculature of all manner of living creatures. But the Great Depression thwarted Hines’s business, and a factory job damaged his health. He decided to turn to drawing to make his living. He submitted a series of dog drawings that were published in the comics section of the Columbus Evening Dispatch in 1936. (The newspaper subsequently commissioned Hines to travel to Alaska and write a series of articles for the paper.)

42 Echoes | JANUARY & FEBRUARY 2019

Having built an impressive portfolio of wildlife art, Hines approached Ohio’s state conservation commissioner, Don Waters, to inquire about a job. After perusing the portfolio, Waters hired the artist on the spot to work for the Ohio Division of Conservation and Natural Resources at $2,200 a year. In his new job, Hines helped develop a weekly feature, “Under Ohio Skies,” which made its debut in 1942 in nearly 300 newspapers across the state.

Bob attended no art school, he’s just naturally gifted. He also illustrated stories for the division’s Ohio Conservation Bulletin, which had a circulation of more than 50,000 subscribers. The editor of the Bulletin introduced his readers to his new artist, writing, “In our long experience in the publishing business, and dabbling in some

art, we have never seen such wonderful improvement and rich endowment of talent as this lad has displayed in so short a time. Bob attended no art school, he’s just naturally gifted. He’s a comer.” Indeed, he was.

ON THE NATIONAL STAGE Hines was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 1948. After his initial chagrin at having to work for a woman, he quickly found in Rachel Carson a kindred soul, a person as passionate about the environment as he was. The pair collaborated on the third book in Carson’s socalled Sea Trilogy, Edge of the Sea, for which they traveled the Eastern seaboard from Maine to Key West. Carson recommended Hines as the artist for a series of field guides including Alaska’s Animals and Fishes. And, writing to her editor at Houghton Mifflin about her upcoming book, she confided, “Bob Hines would certainly be my own first choice as illustrator for the seashore book.” Later, as publication of Edge of the Sea neared, she lobbied for due credit for her illustrator: “I hope you are going to give some information on the jacket about the artist as well as the author. … (It) seems to me demanded by the fact that the art is such a substantial part of the book, and is so beautifully and satisfyingly done.” Having had one of his own illustrations on the Duck Stamp, Hines was dismayed at the haphazard way the program was administered and suggested to his bosses at Fish and Wildlife a more formal and open process, with rules and regulations and properly qualified judges. For more than three decades he oversaw the Duck Stamp program, which has generated more than $700 million to protect habitat for migratory waterfowl.

He paints wildlife in the act of being alive.

Interior in 1971, the citation praised his “remarkable visual perception. … He paints wildlife in the act of being alive.” When he died in 1994 at the age of 82, no obituary was written, no public service held.

Milestones like adopting the first state rock song and hosting the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame are points of justifiable pride for Ohioans in our state’s role as fertile ground for the establishment of rock and roll. However, Ohio’s greatest claim to fame in relation to rock history is that the first major rock and roll concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball, took place in Cleveland in 1952. Popular music hasn’t been the same since.

to America’s white teenagers.” Freed was selling this commodity when he joined up with Mintz and concert promoter Lew Platt to produce the Moondog Coronation Ball on March 21, 1952.

Alan Freed, a DJ on Cleveland’s WJW-AM, had already established another first before he produced the fateful Moondog Coronation Ball: Along with Leo Mintz, who owned Record Rendezvous on Prospect Avenue in Cleveland, Freed is widely credited with naming “rock and roll.” While this may be doubtful, it’s clear that Freed helped popularize this new music in northeastern Ohio on his radio program, The Moondog Show, which began in 1951.

Billed as “the most terrible ball of them all,” the concert took place on a chilly day at the Cleveland Arena, a venue that mainly hosted sports events. Despite early concerns from the show’s promoters that the crowds would not come in numbers great enough to offset the cost of production (there was next to no print advertising, though Freed did heavily promote it on his show), ultimate estimates indicate that between 16,000 and 25,000 people arrived. Only about 6,000–10,000 were admitted to the hall, which had a capacity of just under 10,000.

The most terrible ball of them all.

ROCK ‘N’ BRAWL As his biographer, John A. Jackson, aptly puts it in his opening to The Alan Freed Story (Collectables Record Corp., 2005), “When Alan Freed appended the phrase ‘rock & roll’ to black rhythm and blues in the early 1950s, he transformed a music considered alien to other races into a commodity that would be marketed

The concert began at about 8:30 p.m. Those who made it inside reportedly enjoyed a great show, but those stuck outside eventually grew impatient, broke through the doors and forced their way in, leading to yet another milestone: the first rock and roll riot. This was around 9:30 p.m., and

pandemonium ensued for the next two hours until the house lights came on and the show officially was shut down. By the time the show was derailed, only about half of the scheduled artists had played. Curiously, despite the subsequent notoriety of the event, it’s tricky to figure out who actually played. Acts booked include Paul Williams and his Hucklebuckers, Tiny Grimes and the Rocking Highlanders, the Dominoes, Danny Cobb, Varetta Dillard and “many others.” Perhaps one of the most rock-and-roll aspects of the concert is that it survives in history more as a cultural happening than a musical event— that the music with the capacity to incite a riot became secondary to the riot. TICKET TO NYC In the aftermath, Freed and his partners were charged with overselling the show, then dubbed a “Blues Ball Brawl” by the Cleveland newspapers, but these charges were eventually dropped. The promoters all asserted that they hadn’t actually oversold the show; rather, it was simply over-attended. In any case, there were no prosecutions, and

the press about the melee, in fact, helped fuel coverage of Freed and raised the profile of his radio show. In 1954, Freed’s on-air popularity led to his hiring at WINS in New York. His career from there was a roller coaster that would fit well at Cedar Point, until his untimely death at the age of 43 in 1965. As Bill Randle, another famous Cleveland DJ of the era, noted of the Ball, “It was the beginning of the acceptance of black popular music as a force in radio … (and) the first big show of its kind where the industry saw it as big business.” It is one of those historic experiences that might best have been witnessed as a fly on the wall, rather than from amidst the raucous crowd, but the first Moondog Coronation Ball must surely have been exhilarating.

Lilia Stanton’s Ohio History Day project on the desegregation of Cleveland Public Schools in the 1970s immediately inspired her. “It impacted children my age in a city I lived in,” says Stanton, an exceptionally articulate and wise eighth-grader at St. Mark School in Cleveland. For her project, Stanton interviewed numerous individuals who experienced the desegregation, including Judge Anita Laster Mays, who was one of the first students to be bused to a predominantly white school. Judge Mays recounted the violent protests, and how people threw bricks, eggs and bottles at her bus. From these firsthand accounts of the process of desegregation, Stanton wrote and then acted in a 10-minute, one-woman performance that earned her a trip to the National History Day competition in Washington, DC, where she finished in the top 20 in her category. When asked about what we can learn from her project, Stanton says, “What holds true in the 1970s holds true today: Parents want opportunities for their children, and they see education and schools as a way to achieve opportunities.” HERE’S A PORTION OF HER PERFORMANCE SCRIPT: Scene: Girl at bus stop, 1979 “The bus should be here any minute.

I think that this is completely unfair. My dad says that I should be excited. Judge Battisti’s court order will give me more opportunities, but my mom is worried. She doesn’t want me to go to a West Side school because she thinks I will be mistreated because of the color of my skin. I don’t know what I want. Wait. Yes I do. I want to learn all I can so that I can have the future that I choose. Trying to learn in a crowded classroom on ripped textbooks limits my future. Hopefully, school desegregation will set a new course for me. I remember at my old school, I learned about the Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. Apparently, after Brown v. Board, segregated schools were no longer permitted. In spite of this, schools in Cleveland were segregated by race because of choices made by the school board. My mom used to stand outside of City Hall with lots of other parents

to protest the poor condition of schools on my side of town. She held a picket sign and demanded to be heard. Soon after, a friend of hers filed a lawsuit on behalf of her son, Robert Anthony Reed III. This was in 1973. It wasn’t until 1976 that Judge Battisti issued his opinion on the case. Finally, now, in 1979, the first round of busing is beginning and here I am, waiting for a bus to take me across town to my new school. I am nervous that I will not fit in at my new school and that this bus ride will be dangerous. I’ve heard stories about buses getting bricks, eggs and bottles thrown at them. I hope that my bus ride is safe. Oh, look! Here comes the bus now! <deep breath> Here goes nothing!”

Review BOOK

The Ohio: The Historic River in Vintage Postcard Art, 1900–1960 by John A. Jakle and Dannel McCollum

In the introduction to The Ohio: The Historic River in Vintage Postcard Art, 1900–1960, historians Jakle and McCollum write, “Like every major river, the Ohio was and remains an important transportation artery and a source of water, underpinning substantive urbanization” from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cairo, Illinois. But perhaps more importantly, as is evidenced by the vintage postcards lavishly reproduced in their book, the river “is equally a corridor of outstanding visual interest in both its natural and cultural landscapes.” The book features more than 150 historic postcards that take readers along a 981-mile journey across the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, from the industrial center of Pittsburgh to “Porkopolis” (Cincinnati) and beyond. By volume, the Ohio River is the largest tributary of the Mississippi River in the United States. The name “Ohio” comes from the Seneca word Ohi:yo’, literally the “Good River.” For thousands of years American Indians used the river as a major transportation and trading route. The Osage, Omaha, Ponca and Kaw populated the Ohio River Valley until pressured by the Iroquois in the 17th century to move west to the Mississippi River. The river regularly freezes over at Pittsburgh and Marietta, less often in Cincinnati, and never in Paducah, Kentucky. Though the Ohio River and its environs have changed dramatically in the last 100 years, Jakle and McCollum write, “Should one decide to explore the Ohio River today, he or she would discover that many of the images we have included here can still be experienced firsthand.” –EM
