BRUNSWICK, Ohio – Everything old is new again. That seems to wrap up the past month or so for me, thanks to the telephone for the Brunswick Area Historical Society.
About a week ago, the phone rang. It was Marjorie Hay Thompson calling from Virginia and she had just discovered a packet of papers among items from her parents, Walter and Twyla Hay. They were marked “Important church papers passed down to Twyla Hay.”
Walter and Twyla were very involved at First Christian Church until they passed away. Marji wondered if the historical society was interested. I explained we had an amazing collection from the church, which was sold to Tri-C last year, ending the congregation’s 184 years in Brunswick.
