Picture from about 1928 Hoover was originally a professional mining engineer. The Engineers and Scientists of Cincinnati (ESC) was first organized April 28, 1888 as the “Engineers Club of Cincinnati” at a meeting called by Colonel William Merrill. The ESC was active from that time until 2008. At one time, the membership exceeded 1800. The ESC promoted many civic, educational, and social programs. The archives are presently at the Historical Society of Cincinnati, where they are available to the public for research. The Retired Engineers and Scientists of Cincinnati (RESC) was organized at a meeting of 33 individuals at the 1345 East McMillan Street, ESC Headquarters on March 28, 1966. Included in this group were Alfred Baumgertner, George Lockeman, Elmer Neuzel, John Pitzer, and Lester Zimmerman. At this meeting Edward J. Martin presented the results of a survey of retired ESC members. The ESC gave approval for RESC to operate as an autonomous group under their charter as a not for profit organization of the State of Ohio. The first meeting of RESC was April 19, 1966. As ESC members retired they joined RESC. A bank account was opened on September 28, 1972 to support operation of the growing organization. By 2000, ESC membership was declining which resulted in RESC membership decline. In 2005, ORC 4733.151 became law in Ohio requiring all licensed Engineers and Surveyors to complete fifteen credit hours of Continuing Education in 2007 to renew their registration for 2008. Beginning in 2007, RESC offered Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits for qualified meetings and tours to benefit and support the technical community. Since 2007 was the final year of operation for ESC, RESC began encouraging qualified non-retired individuals to become members. That effort resulted in a name change to the Regional Engineers and Scientists of Cincinnati in May, 2010.
