Spaeth Collection Wiki Page
[edit]
Huh? What's a Spaeth Collection?
In 1949, my father, William Olin Spaeth, started school at what was then Southern Technical Institute. My parents left me a couple photo albums with documents and pictures related to their time at STI, and I refer to it as the "Spaeth Collection".

Who Are You, Anyway?
I'm Dannis, the daughter of Will [later called Bill] and Eloise Spaeth.

Why Are You Putting The Spaeth Collection On This Wiki?
Well, for one thing, my nephew got married, and I decided it'd be a neat thing to scan in all these old photo albums and burn a CD for him. But, as I work on the project, a lot of pictures don't have dates. I have a lot of unanswered questions. Dad died in 1988, and Mama back in 1982, so I can't ask them. But, there are all of you STI alumni who might see the Spaeth Collection and might remember my parents. For all you younger set who never heard of the Spaeths, I want to tell you about my parents so you can share them with me. Some of this stuff might even be interesting to the whole STI community, such as the construction of the Marietta campus. My collection is small, but I'm still going through old stuff, and might find more interesting items to share as time goes by. You never know...
