This wonderful addition to the roof of the barn is a gift from Jim Beisner and was recently installed by members of our Thursday Maintenance Team (That's Jim in the foreground above overseeing the installation). Jim gifted the weathervane in dedication to all of the early Learning Center volunteers who were so vital to the start of the program. The biplane sculpture moves with the wind and points out the direction of the wind for all to see. It is positioned on the edge of the roof of the barn, just above the big hangar door. We would like to thank Jim for this generous gift and thank our volunteers for installing it for all to see and appreciate. Exciting Additions to the Museum! We have had a number of exciting and interesting items given to the museum this summer. Considered In-Kind donations by the IRS, it is up to the donor to determine the value of the gift. We consider them all priceless gifts to WACO as they help us, in one way or another, to tell the story of the WACO Airplane Company. You will find some of these items displayed in the museum. Others will be cataloged and placed in our reference library, including some duplicates of items we already have on hand. Items that are not directly related to the WACO story or extras of items currently in our collection may end up in our gift shop where their sale will support operation of the museum and learning center. Sometimes an item not related to the WACO story is deaccessioned and given to another museum to help them better tell their story. Regardless of how we end up using them, we deeply appreciate them all and the donors who gave them to us! Katrina Sexton visited us from Michigan earlier this summer. She is a cousin to WACO founding father and long time owner Clayton Brukner. She brought us a number of personal artifacts including Clayton Brukner's high school diploma and some pictures of him as a child.   When the American WACO Club held their annual meeting here in June, they donated a copy the iconic WACO Poster "Why Your new Airplane Should be a WACO" to the museum. The poster is in pristine condition and worthy of preservation and display. Dave & Donna Bucher were kind enough to have it professionally framed and it now hangs in the lobby of the museum for everyone to see.   Deaccessioned from the Ohio History Connection and given to the WACO Air Museum, this framed lithograph by Charles Hubbell is entitled "Journey's End" and features a WACO 10 Seaplane. It is autographed by both Charles Hubbell and Clayton Brukner.   These two slightly different "Ask Any Pilot" WACO Service signs were recently donated by Steve Stanford and Todd Wertalik.   Not pictured are a number of items that we want to acknowledge with thanks and appreciation as well... Joan Nuessger gave WACO an assortment of flight training materials which our Aviation Cadets and camp programs will use. Kathy McIntosh donated 24 very cool diecast model airplanes. Mary Pacinda provided us with a number of WACO Word Newsletters which will help us fill in some of the missing issues in our library. Jerry Rae donated a number of posters and photographs to the museum during the American WACO Club annual meeting. Bruce Campbell donated a craftsman electric blower and vacuum which will come in handy around the buildings and grounds. And a very special thank you to Barbara and Rafael Deschapelles for providing WACO with flags for 5 holidays: Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Labor Day and Veteran's Day. The flags were given to us through the Troy Noon Optimist's Avenue of Flags program. While we have featured a number of our in-kind donations this month we also want to thank those who have given monetarily this year. Your commitment to the WACO Air Museum and Learning Center with your checks and cash are the very lifeblood of our general operating fund. Your generosity is appreciated more than you can possibly know.

At no time in my life have I ever been small. When it came time for new school clothes my father would say, “Ok, let’s head to the husky department to get your jeans.†There was a lot of material in those pants. When it came time for new shoes dad would say, “Just kick two bulls in the butt and wear them.† The desks at school were not made for us husky kids. It was like trying to put ten pounds of bologna on a five pound sandwich. During a fire drill I almost had to wear the desk outside. Many of you may remember the atomic bomb drills we had in school during the cold war. We had to get under the desks and not look outside. I just put my math book over my head and hoped for the best. I know I’m giving away age, I’m just glad I have reached gizzerdom with no atomic bomb blasts. In collage the desks were not much bigger. That is the only excuse I have for not doing well in class. On our farm my dad had a nice walnut wooden desk in our living room. The top was decorated with photos of the family, and a farm calendar with photos of tractors and fields of grain on it. The desk faced a window with a really great view of the house across the road. When it was time for dad to work on the bills and study the prices of feed for the livestock, it was done at the kitchen table. The view was better, the window faced the barn and the pasture.  When mother wrote to her sister in Arizona, instead of the desk it was at the kitchen table with a cup of tea that set beside her type writer. When I did do homework, before the dog ate it, I done it at the table. I usually had some of mom’s peanut butter fudge to help me with my studies so I needed the extra room. When our last child moved out we converted his old room into our computer room and study. We went to great lengths to move all the computers and other electronic thingies into his old room, and I got a nice desk for my computer and shelves for my books. I have a lot of corresponding to do and the kitchen table is big enough to hold all my papers. I do have to move the salt and pepper shakers to the counter, which opens up a lot more space.  Most recently I gave a bible study at church. I have a large study bible and I had to take notes and out lines for the study so the table worked perfectly. I did have to move them at dinner time, but other than that the dining table was just right. My desk in the study is now just right to build my model ship on. All the wood, paint and brushes fit well on the desk. The shelves are great for the blue prints for the ship. I do have enough space for my lap top but when not in use it also doubles as a place to rest the ship on. What desk.  I hope this day finds you all well.  P.S. If anyone knows of a good desk let me know.   >>> This essay has been provided by Troy, Ohio author and historian, Steve Skinner. Steve Skinner was born October 24, 1946 in Dayton, Ohio.

MORE History Adelaide Cosley: The Teacher Who Loved to Ride a Bicycle Troy schools will soon be opening for another year, and with it may come thoughts of school years gone by. The book, Troy of Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow, features a 14-page spread of photographs of Troy teachers and students of the past. Three of the photographs show a teacher identified as Miss Adelaide Cosley, a Troy educator for nearly 50 years. Though nearly forgotten now, she was once well known for her long teaching career and for her love of riding a bicycle. Adelaide Cosley, known as Miss Cosley to her students and as “Addie†to her family and friends, was born in Elizabeth Township in Miami County on November 26, 1865. She was one of 13 children of Dennis and Catherine (Landes) Cosley. In 1867 the family moved to Troy, where Adelaide grew up. She graduated from Troy High School with the class of 1883 and attended Ohio Wesleyan University. She began her teaching career at the Knoop Children’s Home. For two years of her career, she taught in Niles, Ohio. In Troy, she taught at Kyle, Edwards, and Forest Schools and also served as principal of Forest School. She worked under Troy School Superintendents Charles L. Van Cleve, R.M. Brown, Charles W. Cookson, and T.E. Hook. Adelaide Cosley lived and taught through interesting times in American history. She was born just after the Civil War ended and taught during the Spanish American War, World War I, and into the Great Depression. She died at the end of World War II. What separates her from other female teachers of her day (aside from her long teaching career) was her love of riding a bicycle. In the 1880s, a “bicycle craze†hit Troy. Cosley was one of the first Troy women to get a bicycle. In fact, she may have been a teenager when she started riding. No one now knows when she got her first bicycle, but she is mentioned as being one of the first young ladies in Troy to get one. Keep in mind that in the 1880s and 90s, women wore long skirts that made bicycle riding difficult. Also, there were social rules governing what a proper young lady could do. Women were careful about how they were seen in public, especially teachers. Riding a bicycle was mostly a male sport. Harry Julian was the local bicycle dealer, and Cosley or her parents may have purchased her bicycle from him. He operated a bicycle shop next to his home on North Walnut Street, where he also repaired bicycles. At first, the bicycles he sold had a large wheel in front and a small wheel in back. According to local historian Thomas Wheeler, some bicycle front wheels were between 54 and 56 inches in diameter. Around 1890, a bicycle with wheels the same size in front and back became available. It was known as a “safety bicycle†and was similar to the bicycle we use today. It should be noted that Julian was the first President of the Troy Bicycle Club, which was organized in 1890. Sunday afternoons became a particularly popular time to take a ride. Bicyclists, who were called “wheelmen,†began riding their bicycles to Troy from throughout the area—coming from places such as Dayton, Sidney, Urbana, and New Carlisle. Addie and her female friends sometimes rode to Tippecanoe (now Tipp City) on Sunday afternoons. Pictures in the Troy Historical Society collection show several Troy women on their bicycles, but local historians have not been able to confirm whether Addie Cosley is among those pictured. Addie Cosley never married. She died at the age of 80 on June 23, 1946 after a long illness—just two weeks after her sister Clara had passed away. Her obituary in the Miami Union newspaper on June 27, 1946 says that by the time she died, many of her students were grandparents, but all had “pleasant recollections†of their school days with Miss Cosley—the teacher who loved to ride a bicycle.

Thank you to our residents and businesses for their patience--it is truly appreciated! Storm Sewer Installation: Milcon crews are installing a new storm sewer on the south side of West Main Street, between 1420 West Main Street and the I-75 North entrance ramp. Thank you for your patience and cooperation earlier this month, when the closure of Norwich Road allowed crews to facilitate this work. To complete this section of storm sewer installation, the intersection of West Main and S. Dorset Road will be closed nights only (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.), anticipated to begin on August 4. During these overnight closures, West Main Street will not be closed, but traffic will NOT be able to turn onto South Dorset from West Main or vice versa. Businesses can be accessed from S. Dorset. Culvert Replacement: Crews continue to work on a culvert replacement between 1374 West Main Street (Dr. Katerakis’ office) and 1404 West Main Street (Everlasting Beauty Permanent Cosmetics and Salon). With lots of activity in this area, drivers are asked to take notice of machinery in and out of the roadway. Dr. Katerakis’ patients can park in Dr. Friend’s parking lot next door. Traffic Pattern Switch: Please watch for changes to traffic patterns for traffic turning onto Dorset Road. Lane changes are expected to take place August 6. A Note for Drivers: Please be mindful of traffic approaching the interstate exit ramp, especially during peak traffic times, and please avoid blocking the ramp. Also, please avoid blocking intersections as well. Construction can be a headache for drivers and residents; please understand that the crews are working to complete the project as quickly, efficiently, and effectively as possible. We ask you to please be cautious while driving through the construction zone and to abide by cones/barrels, new traffic paint markings, signs, arrow boards, signals, speed limits, and workers.
