Can you believe it is July?? This almost seems like the year without a summer, or at least a weird summer. But it could be worse. The Northeast is having rain, rain, rain. I read somewhere that Boston had 3 days of sunshine since June 1.

The Museum's Wonderful Wednesdays is going great. The children are so well behaved (for the most part) and eager to learn. So far they have learned to spin yarn from wool and have made friendship bracelets. Next week is felting and everyone is looking forward to tie dyeing a t shirt.

If you have not yet been to the Museum this summer, stop in soon. Jerry Gaukins "Images from the Driver's Seat" will be ending soon, and the Gene Autry display will end next week.

General Murray

The Museum just had a visit from Brigader General Murray, his wife, and father. We are so proud and honored to have his picture in the General's Gallery. Saturday he was honored by having the Cherry St. Park renamed for him. What do you say to a person like him? I admit I was a little nervous when he walked in the door. He and his family soon put me at ease. What a GREAT man. After I explained to him the saga of the Jacob Parrot Medal, he even offered to look into it for us. How cool is that??? By the way, if you haven't thanked a military person lately, please remember to do so.
