Who were the movers and shakers that made it happen?Why did Buffalo and WNY thrive and play such an important role in American history becoming a leader in commerce, politics, culture and military?
The answers to these questions and many more were provided to the members of the Akron Newstead Rotary at a recent meeting by author and historian Rick Falkowski.
Rick is the author of four books, “ Profiles Volumes I & II, Historic & Influential People from Buffalo & WNY”; “The Spirit of Buffalo Women “ and “History of Buffalo Music and Entertainment”. Rick, at this program, concentrated on people in the 1800’s with special attention given to Akron and Newstead.
His program was excellent and can be tailored.
