Charles Wilbur Herr Memorial Book Project
The Lancaster County Chapter recently received a significant bequest from Charles Wilbur Herr, a county native, successful businessman and civic activist. Chapter board member Charles Holzinger had for many years corresponded with Herr. The donor was deeply committed to civil liberties and social justice, demonstrated by his many newspaper letters.
As a tribute to the donor's memory, the chapter distributed copies of John J. Patrick's highly recommended monograph, Bill of Rights: A History in Documents to twenty county high school libraries and two major public libraries. These were graciously received and will serve as an excellent reference for student papers and research.
