He served as president of the Emmitsburg Historical Society for 10 years. He and his wife also restored two historic homes in Emmitsburg, the Vincent Sebold House at 137 South Seton Ave., and the Hubert Joy House at 203 South Seton Ave. He also worked on the committee to have Emmitsburg placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Henry “Hank” Daidone: Hank served in the Marine Corps before attending the Naval Academy. His dream was to become a Marine Corps Officer upon graduation from the the Naval Academy. Upon graduation with the Class of 1959, Hank was unable to become accepted back into the Marine Corps and thus he entered the Navy as an Ensign. He served on the USS New and the USS Northampton including support of the Bay of Pigs, Cuba Invasion. After a tour as a CIC School Instructor at NATTC, Brunswick, GA, he reported to FTG, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. While in Guantanamo he contracted a severe case of blood fungus disease which left him not physically qualified for Sea Duty. He was then assigned to FAAWTC, Dam Neck, VA in the FACDEN Program. He left the Navy in June 1969. After entering the civilian workforce, his jobs as an Engineer for the Department of Defense continued to support Navy Programs: NTDC Combat System Testing, the Saudi Naval Expansion Program, construction of the Naval Facility in Jobail Saudi Arabia and the Joint US and USSR Konus Program. He and his wife Nettie ultimately moved to Shiloh, North Carolina where he taught math at the College of Albemarle and conducted GED training for the North Carolina Prison System. Hank was active in many areas outside of his vocations. He became a Lieutenant Colonel in the Maryland Defense Force and was a member of several Fire and Rescue Companies. He was chosen as one of the Outstanding Young Men in America in 1968. He was the President of the Potomac Arms Collectors Association, a member of the Maryland Arms Collector’s Association and the Rifle and Pistol Association. He was a Civil War history buff, an avid gun collector of Whitney pistols and long rifles, collected many Civil War artifacts and weapons, as well as publishing many articles on antique firearms. He was very active in the Holy Family Catholic Church and a 4th Degree Member of the Knights of Columbus.

Ed Kemp: Ed earned a bachelor's degree in business and marketing from the University of Maryland and professionally he enjoyed a successful career in the oil industry for several decades with Esso, Humble Oil, Exxon, and Delmarva Oil. Ed's lifelong passion was for history, particularly American military antiques and Maryland memorabilia.
