We see them everywhere; we take them for granted, but oh, if only they could talk. What a story these chairs could tell about the various people who sat in them. I can picture a child with a lollipop in her mouth, waiting for her mom to finish her banking. Or the switchboard operator who rang out the warnings about the 1936 St. Patrick’s Day Flood. What about the bored student, anxiously awaiting the end of the school day so he could run out and play baseball with his buddies? The kitchen chair brings back memories of the family gathered around the table for the wonderful food Mom would set before them and the great conversations as they shared their day. And finally, the chairs our AAHS members sit in as we gather each month to plan activities and do the work of the Apollo Area Historical Society. Now that’s a chair YOU can fill!
