Ohio
The Ohio Society continues to be an active branch of the Order.
Starting with our January business meeting, we established a new program of
remembering our past Associates with Ohio Society memorial contributions to
the John Quincy Adams Foundation. This program has been well received by
the Order's General officers who have subsequently recommended it to other
state Societies, both to honor our deceased members but also to help build the
JQA.
In February we shared Washington's Birthday festivities and speeches
with nearly two dozen genealogical/historical organizations at the Cleveland
Skating Club. Our March program was presented by a descendant of the
Massachusetts Mather family telling tales of the five Colonial Mather brothers.
A month later our featured guest spoke on

24Societies in Formation
while OFPA has had representation in colorado, Tennessee, and South
Carolina for a long time, the Order has yet to establish a Society in those States,
and over the course of the past several years, there has been a growing interest
among Associates living there to have us do so.
During his term in office, PGG Bob vivian appointed Associate Jon
Franchino (MA), a resident of Denver, to the position of organizing Governor
for the colorado Society in formation and Associate Stewart whittle (MD),
organizing Governor for the Tennessee Society in formation. Dr. Thomas M.
("Tommy") Leland (who resides in charleston, SC) was appointed organizing
Governor for the South Carolina Society in formation. All three men have been
working hard to establish societies in their respective states.
The first "official" activity in Tennessee took place recently in
Knoxville, when col. Jack westbrook, a long-time resident and member of the
vA Society (he is also councillor General of our soon-to-be Tennessee
Society) presented the Order's AFROTC Award to the Outstanding Cadet at the
University of rennessee-Knoxville to Cadet Michael A. Thornbury. Jack made
the presentation on behalf of the Tennessee Society in formation. This was the
first OPFAAward ever presented in Tennessee.
The organizing Governors for the co, SC, and TN societies can be
reached as follows: Jon Franchino (Co) jonjan3@comcast.net (303) 759-B2a;
Tommy Leland (SC) tmleland@juno.com (843) 722-7333; Stewart whittle (TN)
InfoVerger@aolrcom (443) 662-8789. (See p.38 for their contact information.)
Govemor General Mike Phelps will be in Denver in September
and plans to have a luncheon meeting there with interested Associates and
candidates. The meeting will be hosted by the Denver Branch of the National
Society Sons and Daughters of the Pilgrims so it will be a large group, and we
hope, some of the Sons will be interested and qualify for oFpA. David Elwell
and Bob Baxter, were key players in getting the award components to us on
time. Though small in number, we have much gratitude for the timely efforts of
the General Officers'on our behalf.
Dr. Leland has been a fireball of energy in his actitivies to organize
a new Society in South Carolina and has used his extensive contacts in that
State with the Society of Colonial Wars and other lineage groups to recruit new
members for OFPA. He also has coordinated with Webmaster Stephen p. Shaw
to obtain contact information for prospective Associates who reside in South
Carolina and who have sent inquiries via the website. Tommy has contacted
each of those men and is assisting them with their membership applications.
He also has arranged for an initial informal meeting of current and prospective
Associates and expects to be able to be ready for approval of the proposed new
SC Society at the May 2007 General Court.
