Listers, and friends,
Just thought I'd let you all know that my candidating
sermon was this morning, the congregation voted
unanimously, and I am now officially the new minister of
the First Congregational Church, Waterbury, CT.
Here's the link to the website:
http://firstchurch-wtby.org/
thanks for all the words of support as this process has
been worked through.
Peace,
Ken
BTW, Waterbury has an important place in the history of
photography. The Scovill company was located there. Scovill
was founded about 1830 as a manufacturer of brass hardware
including buttons. They began to make plates for
Daguerreotypy about 1839. One of their first customers was
Samuel F.B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph and a
painter. Scovill eventually merged (about 1900) with the E.&
H.T. Anthony Co. to become Ansco, for many years the primary
competitor to Eastman Kodak. I don't know how long
photographic materials continued to be made in Waterbury.
Ansco was eventualy headquartered in Binghampton, N.Y.
You will find more in:
_Images and Enterprize_ Reese V. Jenkins, 1975, the Johns
Hopkins University Press.
There is also a book specifically about the Anthony
family and the beginnings of Ansco by Marder, complete
publishing data to follow. I must get some sleep now.
