The Heritage Museum had over 700 visitors this past season. Visitors came from 21 states and from six coun tries - Ireland, Germ any, New Zealand, South Africa, R ussia and Egypt. Some comments made in the mu seum’s guest book were “a gold mine of info,” “amaz ing family history,” “very well kept and com plete,” “aw esom e,” “very enjoy able,” “I'm coming back,” “marvelous,” “cool stuff,” “great displays,” and “won derful volunteers.” Our “wonderful volun teers” include the following who served at the front desk this past season: Dave and Neva DeMayo, Melissa Jo M onaco, D orris G raves, Dorothy Lucille Kostechka, D oris B rosnan, B arbara B lo o dsw orth, F orrie B urkenbine, Kelly Fritz, Betty Mills, Richard Jones, K eith B rudevold, Peggy Fishbum and museum board members. Joe Burleson was a steady volunteer at the Ag Museum. Long-term goals at the Ag Museum include diora mas displayed in outdoor shelters. Cindy Breidenbech served many hours as our Family and Local History volun teer, with support of her husband, John, and her grandson, M ichael, our youngest volunteer. B ehind the scenes workers include Les and Janice Paustain, Earl Fish- bum. Carl and Amy Drake, Debbie and Bruce Young, Judy L aughlin, Sharon H arrison and C h errie Clark. The museum’s school- house located in the city park received a fresh coat of paint and repair work thanks to a generous donor who wishes to be anony mous. Sadly, the ornate out house behind the school was damaged by a fallen tree limb during a recent storm and was deemed to be unrepairable. The Oregon Trail Li brary staff are great neigh bors to the Heritage Mu seum , and the museum sends its appreciation to Barbara Orwick, Margaret Flaherty and Marcia Rich mond.
