Description
Charles E. Thorne started working at the OAES as a foreman right after graduating college. When he noticed the station was not near as large or successful as it could have been (mostly due to its location in Columbus), the young man started sharing his opinions with the administrative board. They approved of Thorne's grand visions and passion for the OAES and hired him as that station's first full-time director in 1887. Thorne was instrumental in the move from Columbus to Wooster in 1892, which led to the OAES's later success.
