Elizabeth Simcox Honored at DCBA Annual MeetingI am delighted and honored to recognize Liz Simcox. It seems especially appropriate torecognize Liz at our DCBA Annual Meeting. At this meeting, we take stock of our organization and in so doing we look at what we are doing well, where we are financially,what is new and upcoming, and most importantly how we can continue to be relevant toour members. As I look at our agenda tonight, and I look at the large number of newmembers, the robust finances, the various awardees being recognized, I say to myself,how is this all possible given how busy many of us are with competing demands for ourtime, how does this all get done? Why is our association so vibrant and robust? Iwould love to take even one bit of credit, but in fact for the most part, it is the collective actions of all of you. And supporting us and making our visions a reality, we areblessed to have a wonderful staff, led for the last seven years by our very own LizSimcox.Liz has brought so much to our association and she has embodied everything we aspireto be as an organization. Under Liz’s leadership as our Executive Director, we have astrong and cohesive Board, superior relations with our bench, a pro -bono program that has a tremendous level of participation, well attended CLEs, a great Young Lawyers Division, rivaled only by an equally robust senior lawyers section (disclaimer, I know it is hard to believe, but I, too, am a senior lawyer). Liz has been a major part of all of thisand through sheer force of will and a winning personality to boot, she makes it all happen and never appears to breaka sweat, or for that matter, wear the same outfit twice.We are so thankful for Liz and all she has meant to our association. As a small token of our appreciation, the Board ispresenting this chair to Liz with a plaque that reads “Dauphin County Bar Association, Elizabeth Simcox, Esquire,Executive Director 2011-2018.”On behalf of our association, our board, and me personally, I simply say Thank you Liz, for all you have done for ourAssociation. and may God Bless you, John, and your family in your retirement.(Remarks from Peter M. Good 01/30/19 Annual Meeting)Nicole R. Antos Awarded Angelo Skarlatos AwardThe 2019 Angelo Skarlatos Award is presented to Nicole Antos. The Skarlatos Award ispresented to the Dauphin County attorney who provided significant service to the YoungLawyer Section.Nicole was the first young lawyer chair to say, “we need to change.” Nicole wanted morethan the same lawyers coming to the same events. Nicole’s suggested that we re -write theyoung lawyer’s role in the bar association, and adapt each year to bring in new young lawyers.As one example, the YLD recently held its fourth packed house trivia night. To Nicole, itwasn’t the free pizza and wings, but the relationships that were started or grown that evening.Another change Nicole implemented was the sponsorship of the YLD programs, most notably volleyball. Due to thesesponsorships, most young lawyer events are at no cost, or minimal cost, to our membership.More importantly than her ideas, was Nicole’s style of leadership. Nicole was, and still is, hands on. Nicole will introduce herself to anyone she does not know, and Nicole will endeavor to ensure that everyone in the room meets anynew face. This seems simple, but this is the exact type of behavior that will keep this bar association going for generations.Finally, I would like to personally thank Nicole. I was once that new member, and it made the biggest difference tome that Nicole was the first person to introduce me to the Dauphin Count Bar Association.-Anthony M. Hoover, Outgoing DCBA YLS Chair6

Krupp’s Korner(News from your Dauphin County Prothonotary)Raiders of the Lost DocumentsI am pleased to announce that the Dauphin County Prothonotary’s Office, in collaboration with the Pennsylvania State Museum and Archives, recently recovered anumber of historical documents that disappeared from the Dauphin County Courthouse decades ago.In the 1970s, trade in rare and historic documents was becoming increasingly popular, with manypeople engaging in the hobby. One such hobbyist was Mr. Harry Wigington. In the 1970s, Mr.Wigington was relatively unknown in the trade, but by the mid -1980s, Mr. Wigington had earned areputation for himself by finding and selling beautiful and valuable documents at great prices. However, Mr. Wigington’s run as a successful historical documents dealer was short -lived. AsMr. Wigington was making a name for himself in the industry, historians, archivists, and genealogists were stumped as to how Mr. Wigington was able to come up with a constant supply of fresh source material.A frequent visitor to the Pennsylvania State Archives, Mr. Wigington’s “research” activities there began to raise suspicion. Eventually,the Capitol Police were called in to investigate. After an extensiveinvestigation, the Capitol Police determined there was enough evidence to charge Mr. Wigington with a crime. At the time, Mr.Wigington was residing in Erie, Pennsylvania, and the Capitol Policemade preparations to arrest him. Shortly before his arrest, however,Mr. Wigington was mysteriously killed in a car accident.Following Mr. Wigington’s untimely death, the Capitol Police raided his home and confiscatedthousands of pages of rare and historical documents. Over threats of litigation from Mr. Wigington’s family, the Pennsylvania State Archives spent the last 30 -plus years cataloging the confiscateddocuments and returning them to their rightful owners, including Dauphin County.Forming a Writers' Workshop Critique GroupThe Board of Directors of DCBA has approved a new opportunity for members with acreative writing urge.
