Dr. Stanley D. Korfmacher  delivered a paper to the Society which was originally written and given at the Redlands Fortnightly Club last January.  This paper is an update of  “Some Redland’s Firsts and Almost Firsts compiled by Dr Larry Burgess in 1982.  There are additions, revisions and deletions as additional facts have surfaced, and some interesting tales to tell about some of them.  The list has grown from fourteen to forty-four, and  have been grouped  in several categories.

Dr. Korfmacher thanks are due Nathan Gonzales in the Smiley Library Heritage Room and to Tom Atchley current and past president of RAHS, and the treasure trove of Redlands memorabilia in his home.
