I do not know of an Ohio collection. I do know for a fact, the McClain merged with Knights and it took YEARS for them to get permission from the Feds to move the M1 Abrams.

I will do some searching however.

Look back in the early versions of Neil's AFV Register. I'll dig up one of my archive copies when I get a chance but it will be a couple weeks

Hubbard Ohio was the location. From Registery V2.3 (19 December 2006):

World War II Vehicle Museum and Learning Center
5959 W Liberty St
Hubbard Ohio

Harry Vetch? or something like that, He deserves to be remembered. He died in December (can't remember the year) while visiting New York.

(okay I lied about it taking a couple weeks. I found a copy in a folder of a folder in the corner of my desktop)

the collection in ohio was owned by Henry Venetta, nice man, died of a heart attack. Reed bought the collection. Joe Mclain merged with Reed Knights collection and Joe runs the entire collection for Reed. i am checking to see where Fred Ropkeys 1917 went.
