Biographical Sketch of Jack Stites

Chief Instructor, President and Past President of RCMB and Honored Recipient of RCMB’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009

Originally from Littlestown, PA, I spent four years in the U.S Navy, specifically in the Naval Air in anti-sub warfare from 1954 – 1958. After my service in the Navy I entered the Peabody Conservatory of Music, which is part of the Johns Hopkins University. My music training was from Peabody and all academic classes were done through Hopkins. After I graduated, I taught in the Baltimore School System as Band Director, mostly at Loch Raven. While teaching, I received a Master’s Degree in Education from Towson State. I retired from teaching with 31 years of service and then worked as a technician copiers and fax machines for another ten years. I am now 76 and am truly enjoying retirement.

I spent 20 years in organized target and field archery, For six years , I was the Mid-Atlantic Councilman for the National Field Archery Association.

Then I started into RC models and that is what brought me to this point in life. I worked my way up to big and fast and then slow planes, I taught my son and he is a corporate pilot now and files all over the world. I do get him on the ground sometimes so we can still enjoy the hobby together.

German Dunkards were among the first settlers in Hamilton County, arriving with Benjamin Steitz (Stites) from New Jersey in 1788, but immigration was slow at first. In 1820 Germans made up just 5% of the population.

Mass immigration began in the 1830s with Cincinnati's boom in the meatpacking and shipping industries and brought political refugees after the 1848 Revolution in the German states. Between 1840 and 1850, the German population increased almost tenfold, and in 1860, 30% of Cincinnati’s population was of German stock.

The biggest wave of German immigration to Cincinnati occurred in the 1880s. In 1890, 57% of the total population of nearly 300,000 was either born in Germany or had German parents.[1]

Do you know if its the Jack Walden from Del City, OK? He was a knifemaker but was selling etching machines and stencils when I knew him. I lost track of him about 5 years ago.
