INTRODUCTION

Twelve men met in 1920 to start the Nebraska Children's Homefinding Association.

By the bylaws of the new organization, its lifetime was to be perpetual . . . never-ending . . . "until time shall be no more".

The founding fathers knew that Great Causes ought never to end, that even as one challenge is met, others lie ahead.

The Omaha Home for Boys, the result of that meeting, has met one challenge after another as its mission has changed through the years.

This book is a history of the Home's first 75 years of working with and caring for people.

And a promise to continue to do so "until time shall be no more . . . ".
