Synopsis
As editor and executive editor of the Ravenna-Kent Record-Courier, Loris C. Troyer has been a pivotal figure in Portage County, Ohio, for over sixty years. Since retiring, he has written a weekly historical column entitled "Portage Pathways" on topics ranging from historical landmarks and events to eminent or interesting people to politics, society, and the value of recording local history. This book collects over 140 of his most memorable essays, illustrated with historical photographs. Troyer joined the Record-Courier staff as a reporter in 1936. In 1940 he reported that the federal government was secretly acquiring land east of Ravenna. That land was later used to build a 22,000-acre arsenal which became Portage County's biggest employer during periods of high activity and provided ammunition during World War II, the Korean War, and the war in Vietnam. Himself a graduate of Kent State University, Troyer reported university developments from the 1930s, when only a few hundred students were enrolled, to the 1990s, with the multi-campus complex serving over 25,000 students. As editor at the time of the May 4, 1970, shootings, he provided leadership as the paper struggled to explain the incident and its aftermath. Troyer's work has put him in contact with thousands of individuals who helped shape Portage County over much of the twentieth century, and his column is one of the best-read features of the Record-Courier. His years of acquired knowledge, steady perspective, and sense of humor are apparent in these essays., As editor and executive editor of the Ravenna-Kent Record-Courier , Loris C.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (9,414)
- t***a (610)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseYou get what you pay for and my experience was just that. I think, the description and pictures could have been better executed, but for the most part left an honest impression of conditionality. Packaging needs some serious improvement. Shipping was quick enough, but maybe overpriced (FEDEX). The seller heard me out and was willing to make things better, but ultimately I decided we’re both learning a lot and David provided me a fair deal. Overall, I’m happy enough. Thank you :)
- r***m (440)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseVery pleased with the delivery and packaged well except if I can suggest wrapping books in plastic shopping bags. The person who delivered this set the box on wet ground and it was not wrapped in plastic. It was raining hard by the time we were able to pick it up and it was only by God's Grace that the books were not wet at all. The description was even better that you described. The price and shipping were very reasonably. Very pleased with the whole transaction. Thank u. God bless...DeniceWOW! Lot Of 56 J. Vernon McGee Messages Given On The 5 Year Program..
