Ford Kinsey becomes second man to win General St. Clair medallion
Ford Frank Kinsey, president of the Fort Ligonier Memorial Foundation for the past seven years, is one of Ligonier's most indefatigable civic workers; and his great contributions to the community were publicly recognized early this year ( The Ligonier Echo, Jan. 2) when he was awarded the coveted General Arthur St. Clair Medallion. This Chamber of Commerce honor had been given only once before: in 1956, to Lieut. General Richard K. Mellon.

project; he is a member of the Rotary Club, the Masonic Lodge and the Tall Cedars of Lebanon.
He comes from a family which has lived in Ligonier Valley for more than 160 years. Born in Waterford in 1903, he started his own automobile parts & service business in Ligonier in 1920
