2nd Saturday in February 2009 a success

Hello All,

Just a short note to thank all of you for such a nice crowd here on the 2nd Saturday in February. Typically the traffic is pretty light around here after Christmas and until Easter weekend so this was a pleasant surprise. I even had a couple drive all the way from Minneapolis just to visit!

Another fun thing: If you are interested in Pomeroy history or maybe need some genealogy information, the Pomeroy Public Library now has a collection of cds with old "Pomeroy Herald"s from 1895-1969. Thanks to your patronage of the Pomeroy Historical Society's breakfast & lunch offerings on the 2nd Saturday they have raised over $3000 to accomplish the copying of those old "Herald"s onto CDs. I went over and looked up an ad from M. F. Mullan, the builder of my north building. It is attached and is from page 4 of the March 26, 1896 issue. FUN!

Until next time,

Leonard
