New service for Newsletters

Some ACHS members are already receiving our Newsletters automatically via e-mail when they are published, rather than waiting for them to arrive in the mail. This is good for everybody since it saves our crew time and the cost of postage to get the newsletters out, and it's faster as well.
 
If you, whether an ACHS member or not, would like to receive the newsletter via e-mail when it's published please e-mail us at:  Research@ashtcohs.com

At this time I would like to express our sadness at the loss this last February of our dear friend Dr. Thomas E. Corts. Most of you know what a great contribution he made to Ashtabula history with his book “Bliss and Tragedy”. We are forever grateful for all he has meant to this Society as well as history in general, and he will be sadly missed.
 
Sincerely,
Cher Shepard
