Distant brush with greatness

Yesterday, in probably my last bit of tourism in Dayton, I went to the Wright brothers' bicycle shop and museum in West Dayton. That was worth seeing, but there was a bonus: an exhibit on Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet ("I know why the caged bird sings") and boyhood friend of the Wrights. I noted that Dunbar and Orville Wright attended Central High at the same time. Then I remembered from the Stivers High pamphlet that the eponymous Charles Stivers (my great-granduncle) had been principal of Central High. Sure enough, a bit of Googling revealed that Captain Charles Stivers was principal of Central High when Paul Dunbar and the Wrights were students there.
