While we wait for news on our Promont restoration grant, we want to take a moment to recognize someone who has gone above and beyond for GMAHS: Claire Corcoran for Commissioner.

Commissioner Corcoran arranged for us to receive an official Ohio State Flag that was raised over the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus, and she personally delivered it to us. She has also endorsed our current grant work with Clermont County and is an active participant in this year's America 250 events and celebrations.

We are so grateful for her advocacy, her presence, and her genuine commitment to preserving Clermont County history.

Thank you, Commissioner Claire Corcoran. We see you, and we appreciate you.

Daughter of an Ohio governor, arrested as a spy by the N***s, refugee worker, and founder of the Clermont County Park District, Aletheia Pattison was one of the most colorful women ever to be reared in our county and Dr. Wright will be presenting from her biography of Aletheia.

The photo is Aletheia in a Polish uniform. You'll want to hear that story!
