As we continue to go through all the archives from the previous Historian, I am finding more and more that I want to know more about.  We had an airport in this town, 

Check out the new firetruck in 1921.  All these things I want to research and know more about.

This last month we have been super busy.  I finish my book and it is out on Amazon or can be purchased through me.  Thanks to all who have purchased it and read it so far.  I have gotten some great comments and love to hear from each one of you.

I have a second book in the works, about 75% done... hopefully by the end of June.  

I have done two talks, one to a High School Literacy Club, and 4 classes at the Middle School in Hamburg.  That is always fun.  The kids are eager to hear anything but what they have to learn, so they tend to really pay attention to you.

I have gone into the Senior Center and talked to the older generation to hear their tales.  The first week I went, they all were expecting me to do all the talking, so I switched it up some, and the second time I went in, I took old phone books from different years and had them scattered around the tables.  It was fun to hear them say to the others there... do you remember this place, we used to go here to get a drink or buy clothes... and thus memories came out.  Going to take a variety of High School yearbooks next time and see what happens.

We are at the Lucy Bensley Center every Wednesday from 9am to 3pm.  Since the weather has gotten warmer, we are starting to have people come out and visit with us.  Some tell us their stories from the town or their family, some bringing in photos to share with us, or items.  It has been great.

We must have spring fever at the Lucy Bensley Center because we are talking about re-arranging the desk, file cabinets, tables, oh just all of it, to make it easier to access for both us and anyone who comes in.  I am sure in the process of doing that when we do start, we will find more fun things!

If you are out and about on a Wednesday, stop by and say Hi to us, share a story, or photos, memories, oh old folklore, we love it all.
