Our History

CCRTA was founded September 26, 1950 at a meeting of eight persons at the Cecil County Courthouse. Dues were $1.00. The stated purpose was to interest county and state officials in supporting an increase in pensions. Officers chosen were Helen Watson, president, Evelyn Kimble, secretary and Guy Johnson, who was a state senator, treasurer.

Mrs. Watson served as third president of MRTA 1953-1956. During her term MRTA affiliated with NRTA. No meetings of CCRTA followed until March 1953 and thereafter yearly until 1967 when two meetings per year began. Their emphasizes were directed toward pension increases and other benefits.
