Fostoria, Ohio

It is indeed a privilege to give this endorsement of this collection of Paul Krupp's memoirs of Fostoria and its environs. They have covered so many different subjects, people, and personal memories as he grew up. Everyone looked forward to his next column in our daily local Fostoria Review-Times newspaper. -George A. GrayRetired Chairman and President, The Gray Printing Company President, Fostoria Area Historical Society"Paul Krupp was a friend of mine. He may not have known it, but I knew his writings very well. I read all of his material that he had printed in our local Fostoria Review Times. He would write about an old neighborhood of his, and then take a "walk" down the street, without missing a house, and tell you who lived there, and the makeup of each respective family. . . . this gives me the opportunity of speaking of the great admiration I had for him. If Paul Krupp wrote something, it was true."-Mel Murray, former owner, WFOB Curator emeritus, Fostoria, Ohio Glass Heritage Gallery"I thoroughly enjoyed reading Paul Krupp's columns in the Fostoria Reveiw Times when they appeared. His recounting the history of Fostoria in his columns explained the past and also helped to explain why some present situations exist, which was very beneficial as the mayor."-Barbara L.
