What was Appleton like during the Progressive Era (1850 – 1920)? The turn of the century was a period of speculation and excitement. Americans felt the excitement of world fairs and new technologies entering their daily lives. This new exhibit at the History Museum hinges on Appleton’s evolution from a fledgling manufacturing town to a modern industrial center. Through a collection of 3,000 photographs, amateur photographer W.D. Schlafer captured this rapidly changing environment during the Progressive Era in the Fox Cities. Visitors will see how much Appleton and the Fox Cities evolved as new technologies and ideas changed the lives of area residents during this transformative period.

Lung Cancer Facts

* Lung cancer is the number-one cancer killer in the U.S, claiming approximately 160,000 lives per year and accounting for about 28% of all cancer deaths.

* Lung cancer is a devastating disease that can afflict anyone, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or smoking history.

* Lung cancer kills almost twice as many women as breast cancer and more than twice as many men as prostate cancer.

* The five-year survival rate for lung cancer is under 15%.

* Lung cancer currently has no effective, widely used early detection test

Old Guy Walk - The Plan

I want to bring awareness to lung cancer and try to raise some money to find better methods of detection. This walk is in memory of my mom, and everybody else who died too soon.

Originally I was going to walk the entire way but because of a serious joint problem with my right knee I had to follow my Doctors advice not to mention my wife's strong opinion!

I plan to start my trip June 9th beginning at Point Beach State Park in Two Rivers, Wisconsin and will walk & bike across the state. My travels will cover approximately 240 miles and take 6 to 7 days to complete.

We are putting on a benefit to help the Family of Samantha V. Smith. Samantha was a beautiful young woman at the age of 24, she had a bright future ahead of her with the man she loved and her two small children. But things can change in an instant.
Samantha was killed in a car crash on January 9, 2012. She was an amazing mom to Matthew (5) and Olivia (3). Both children have medical conditions that could cause financial struggles for them and their caregivers. Hopefully, this will present them with opportunities for a promising future in life. The Benefit will take place on June 9th at THE BAR on Lynndale in Appleton WI. The Bar has kindly donated their time and business to help us as Samantha was an employee and part of their family. Events such as raffles, auctions, a pig roast and a bake sale will be held between 2pm and close. Bound for Severance, Roses for the Dead and Beyond Fate will be playing from 9 - 12pm.
