Morning Program - 11:15 a.m.

Why I Collect Clocks
Presenter: Greg Hannahs

Old Dominion Chapter No. 34 Member Greg Hannahs will share how he discovered, researched the history and fixed some of his favorite clocks. You will recall from listening to many of his “stories” during our Exhibit “Show and Tell” at the chapter meetings that these are often quite informative and entertaining. The results of his “fixing” are to be admired. Greg hopes there are many questions during his presentation so he can remember what he didn’t include in describing some of his “secret” techniques he used in completing his restorations.

Growing up in a small town, Greg worked in a bicycle shop and at a television shop letterpress printing taught by German craftsmen. After graduation he worked in a large printing company where he learned  that Southern Illinois University offered a major in Printing Management. He later pursued graduate studies in time and motion, work simplification and teacher education. In total he worked 50 years in printing, seven of which he taught offset press operation and printing management at Ferris State College in Michigan.

A past president of the Old Dominion Chapter Nos. 34, Greg and his wife, Betty, live in Rockville.
