Originally Processed With FOIA(s): FOIA Number: S S FOIA MARKER This is not a textual record. This is used as an administrative marker by the George Bush Presidential Library Staff. Record Group/Collection: George H.W. Bush Presidential Records Collection/Office of Origin: Speechwriting, White House Office of Series: Speech File Draft Files Subseries: Chron File, 1989-1993 OA/ID Number: 13648 Folder ID Number: 13648-004 Folder Title: Strongsville, Ohio 10/28/92 [OA 8485] Stack: Row: Section: Shelf: Position: G 26 18 5 7 Dan October 25, 1992 MEMORANDUM FOR STEVE PROVOST DAN MCGROARTY RAY SILLER CHRISTINA MARTIN STEVE PROVOST FROM: CAROL AARHUS SUBJECT: STRONGSVILLE, OHIO LOCAL COLOR All About Strongsville: Strongsville is a town of 36,000, approximately a half-hour south of downtown Cleveland. It is made up of a lot of small businesses. Unemployment is below the national average. The median income is $45-50,000. Housing starts have been good. The town celebrated its 175th anniversary last year. Strongsville bills itself as the "Crossroads of the Nation". There is a Ford plant about 5 miles away, so there is a strong union presence in the area. There are also a lot of Reagan democrats. Program Notes: Governor Voinovich will introduce Bruce Willis and Bruce Willis will intro POTUS. The Oak Ridge Boys and Miss Ohio (Robin Meade) will sing a few tunes in the pre-program show, and there will be five high school bands playing the honors -- we should, however say hello to the Strongsville High School Marching Mustangs. Interesting Oak Ridge Boys Song Titles: The Long Haul Something Worth Holding Onto Lucky Moon Acknowledgements: Governor Voinovich; Bruce Willis; Mike DeWine (not there, but running for Senate) ; Mayor Wally Ernfelt. Acknowledgements Notes: The Mayor would like POTUS to call for a Republican majority in the Ohio state legislature. There are also four Congressional seats tied to Cuyahoga County up for grabs. The Republicans running for those seats are: Margaret Mueller, Bob Gardner, Martin Hoke, and Beryl (rhymes with pearl) Rothschild. They may or may not be at this event (probably not), but the mayor asked that we mention them anyway. Ohio quote: "There is no flashiness, nothing fleeting, in Ohio's approach to life. Traveling across its fertile acres, one feels in the very atmosphere a combination of stability and progress.' " -- Pearl Buck, America, 1971 Volunteersim note: Last year, the Strongsville Optimist Club was named the #1 Optimist Club by Optimist International. They do education and literacy projects with the youth in the community. We should mention them when we talk about volunteers solving problems, not the government.
