Hennes Communications Managing Partner’s Political Memorabilia Collection

The political bug hit Bruce Hennes, managing partner of Hennes Communications, as a volunteer during the 1972 Nixon-McGovern presidential election.  It was then that he acquired his first and still-favorite political souvenir: a tag identifying him as a staffer for the News Election Service – a consortium of ABC, AP, CBS, NBC and UPI – reporting election-night poll results.

Bruce’s extensive collection is mostly housed in his Terminal Tower office in Cleveland, where the walls are covered with political memorabilia from the early 1960’s.  Bruce also collects 1960’s-era Civil Defense memorabilia, some of which is on-loan to the Spy Museum in Washington, DC.

The Union Club of Cleveland recently featured Bruce’s collection in the bi-monthly publication they send to their members. To read that article and see the photos, click here: Hennes Political Memorabilia Collection
