New volunteers for Living Museum are welcome. If two persons are available for a role, we have an alternate in the event of illness or an emergency, and portrayers work every other week, instead of weekly. We have responded to 46 information requests since the last newsletter appeared in print. Ninety percent are generated by E-mail via the museum computer. The business history most often asked about is the Great Western Stove Company.
People often ask about the history of individual homes.
We have begun to receive request about family members whose portraits may be in the Everhard Photo Collection. We were able to provide the required historical information. Kay and Ralph shared their love of each other, history and the Museum with anyone lucky enough to encounter them, even if only on one occasion. The following memorial comes from former Museum Administrator Brother Robert A. Holt, O. Carm. I started to volunteer at the Leavenworth County Historical Society in the fall of 1987.
