Those boos were not booms they were the sounds of Boss Kett, James Cox, John Patterson and the other makers and molders of Dayton and the Miami Valley turning over in their grave over what has been allowed to happen to the Gem City.
I'm quite sure that Mr. Patterson's been turning over in his grave since the 1990's when AT&T chewed up and spun off NCR, turning faster in 2008-2009 when both city and state governments took their presence for granted. A mere "boo" would be unlike him, given the management style of Patterson.
A boom associated with John Patterson would have been followed by a unexplainable combustion of Rhine McLin's hat collection and the desks of about every government official that took the company's presence in Dayton for granted.
Evidently other Dayton area freepers to know so much of this citys history. I think it was Patterson who started the world trap shooting championship at the airport, then McLin had it shut down after so many decades of it being here. Dayton now is about to Ohio what Flint is to Michigan, so much lost. We did have one of the largest TEA party rallys in the nation some 6? years ago, maybe some of you were there.
