Abstract:

Greensboro opened a memorial room in honor of two men who became famous through names other than their own. To honor the 85th birthday of America's short story classicist, William Sidney Henry, O. Henry, the Greensboro Historical Society arranged the memorial in the atmosphere of Dr. Porter's Drug Store, coincidentally where Lunsford Richardson was the creative genius behind the trade name Vicks.
