When I opened my e-mail this morning I had a comment on a post from last November – here is the link to that post:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/blogs.wabash.edu\/dear-old-wabash\/2010\/11\/01\/1890s-student-life\/<\/p>\n

It was a story about a picture of a student’s room in the 1890s and here is the comment:<\/p>\n

“…What a surprise to see this article online. \u00a0James Ray Thomas ’01 was my great-grandfather. \u00a0Thomas & Skinner is still a going concern, though the family has had no real connection since the 40s. It’s apparently considered the oldest remaining American magnet company — Chinese companies having taken much of the current demand for magnets. Interesting tid-bit: magnets used during the Apollo moon mission were from T&S — something to do with the moon mobile, which I assume is still there…” – G. B. Landrigan<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is handsome and full of information, including biographies of his predecessors. It really is a fascinating site, I would encourage anyone interested in Wabash history to set aside some time and look through the “Our History and Archives” section of this site.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
