The Story of Henry Williams
This watercolor depicts Henry when he was about
age 72. His parents were former slaves and farmed along the Mississippi
River. Henry decided to spend his life on the Ohio River. He was about
twenty when he started working for Captain John Beatty, legendary river
man. Henry worked as a crane operator, pilot, diver, welder and engineer
raising salvage off the bottom of the inland waterways. His brother William,
was also a river man, William was a victim on the steamboat Island Queen’s
explosion in Pittsburgh on September 9th, 1947. Henry went
with Captain Beatty to salvage the Island Queen. He recalled scrambling
for dines that fell out of the slot machines while raising the steamboat.
Henry spent the latter part of his life living in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine
neighborhood. Semi-retired, Henry worked as the dock master for the floating
converted stern-wheeler restaurant Mike Fink’s, built by Captain
Beatty. Everybody had a nickname on the river, Henry’s was “Greenboy.”

St. Thomas More
(1478 - 1535)
“A man for all seasons”
Thomas More was a humanist with a true love
for learning. Known as a leader, he recognized that leadership is a gift
from God for the common good of mankind and the duty of that gift was
a life of service to all. A devoted family man, he was also a brilliant
intellectual patron of the arts, statesman, scholar, philosopher, and
author whose writings have enriched our culture and literature.
Educated at Oxford, he practiced law and entered
the service of King Henry VIII as royal counselor, ambassador, and Lord
Chancellor. He was a man of conscience with a strong faith in God and
an intense concern for the problems of his day. He was executed because
he refused to compromise his deeply held principles and values.
As a person of wide and varied interests who
exhibited high standards of honor, Thomas More is an inspiration to students
who seek to develop through their education the knowledge and values upon
which they will base their lives, their careers, and service to others.
Thomas More was truly “a man for all seasons.”
