| To celebrate Wisconsin’s Sesquicentennial in
1998, I helped organize:

the Great Oshkosh Woodworkers’ Strike of 1898
- An exhibit of Rise of a Landmark, a Photographic Recollection of the
Creation of the Empire State Building , by Lewis Hine
- Special cancellation of Lewis Hine postage stamp
- The formation of a Lewis Hine Society to promote and preserve Hine’s
work and memory
- A presentation with 70 Lewis Hine slides on “An Oshkosh Boy Opens
the Nation’s Conscience on Child Labor” at the 17 th Annual Conference
of the Wisconsin Labor History Society in Oshkosh
