Twenty-seven years ago, Marie Olinger and some like-minded individules who were interested in collecting Abingdon Art Pottery banded together to form the Abingdon Pottery Collectors. On August 17, the group presented Olinger with a certificate which reads, in part, "in recognition of her insight to organize the Abingdon Pottery Collectors in 1977.
Olinger said that she "couldn't have started the organization unless there had been a lot of other people interested."
The group held it's first show at the Abingdon American Legion on Oct. 14 and 15, 1977. Paul Cuba was the president, and Robert Rush served as vice-president. Margaret Atkins and Robert Gustus were the secretary and treasurer, respectively. John and Edith Lewis were the club historians, Marie Olinger was correspondent, and Lovi Bond was the reporter. The first dues-paying member to join the club was George Hatch. |
