Exhibit continues<br />
through September<br />
Inspired by the paintings of Gertrude Seiberling, a<br />
garden installation of 15 one-of-a-kind metal sculptures<br />
comprise this outdoor exhibit. It complements<br />
Gertrude’s paintings on display in the Manor House,<br />
and is part of this year’s theme, Lasting Impressions,<br />
a celebration of her art. <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> staff member and<br />
artist Joe Ott, and three local artists — Mike Ensminger,<br />
Megan Louise Shane, and Kim Thomas —created the<br />
unique metal works. All of the sculptures in the exhibit<br />
are for sale. Inquire at Molly’s Shop for details.<br />

<strong>Hywet</strong>, so the purchase<br />

Now fans and friends of <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> can<br />
show their loyalty to the estate wherever<br />
they drive, by buying the new State of Ohio<br />
organizational license plate, prominently<br />
featuring the <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong> name and logo. This<br />
initiative is a new chapter in the Seiberling story<br />
and the potential for thousands of cars on the<br />
road to celebrate the family’s gift to the people<br />
of Akron.<br />
The license plate makes for a good<br />
conversation starter, and a fun way to generate<br />
awareness of our national historic treasure.<br />
The new marketing tool is the result of<br />
a two-year effort led by Executive Assistant<br />
Carolyn Hritz, following through on a<br />
suggestion made by long-time volunteer, donor<br />
and personal friend of the Seiberling family,<br />
Hugh West. Hugh has a long connection to the<br />
auto industry: his family opened West Chevrolet<br />
in Akron in 1934, and Hugh maintained<br />
ownership until 1988, when it was sold. Several<br />
Seiberling family members were among his<br />
customers.<br />
Hugh and Phyllis West sport the first <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong><br />
plate.<br />
“I know how proud the Seiberlings were<br />
of <strong>Stan</strong> <strong>Hywet</strong>. The new license plate is a way to<br />
show our pride in return. We will be promoting<br />
the estate wherever we drive in the U.S.” said West.<br />
