Fostoria, Ohio, was formed in 1854 with the merger of Risdon to the north and Rome to the south. It was named after Charles W. Foster, a local businessman who served as the town's first mayor. A town of 15,000 in northwestern Ohio, it is known around the world for its many railroads and, at one time, many glass factories including the well-known Fostoria glassware. "As the great City of Fostoria celebrates its 'Sesquicentennial' we all look forward to our next 150 years, but at the same time look back on where we have been. Paul Krupp's first book on Fostoria gave a great historical and yet personable account of Fostoria. Volume 2 continues with more wonderful insights of the rich heritage of our great city."-Mayor John Davoli, City of Fostoria, Ohio.
"It is indeed a privilege to give this endorsement of this collection of Paul Krupp's memoirs of Fostoria and its environs. They have covered so many different subjects, people, and personal memories as he grew up. Everyone looked forward to his next column in our daily local Fostoria Review-Times newspaper." -George A. Gray Retired Chairman and President, The Gray Printing Company President, Fostoria Area Historical Society "Paul Krupp was a friend of mine. He may not have known it, but I knew his writings very well. I read all of his material that he had printed in our local Fostoria Review Times. He would write about an old neighborhood of his, and then take a "walk" down the street, without missing a house, and tell you who lived there, and the makeup of each respective family. . . . this gives me the opportunity of speaking of the great admiration I had for him. If Paul Krupp wrote something, it was true." -Mel Murray, former owner, WFOB Curator emeritus, Fostoria, Ohio Glass Heritage Gallery "I thoroughly enjoyed reading Paul Krupp's columns in the Fostoria Reveiw Times when they appeared. His recounting the history of Fostoria in his columns explained the past and also helped to explain why some present situations exist, which was very beneficial as the mayor." -Barbara L. Marley, Mayor, 1990-95 "The always interesting, informative columns of Paul Krupp constitute a community treasure. Collecting and publishing them will provide a wonderful addition to the historical record of Fostoria." -James E. Bailey, Mayor, 1996-99 "Paul H. Krupp's Fostoria, Ohio book is a great historic account of a great city. By compiling historical articles that appreared for over twelve years in the local newspaper, this book captures the essence of the wonderful way of life in Fostoria, Ohio. It is a must read for every Fostorian as well as all Americans." -John Davoli, Mayor, 2000-
