Two interesting inquiries
I'm afraid I'm way behind on writing blogs but that doesn't mean that nothing's been happening at the Terrace Park Historical Society. Actually there's been a lot of good work accomplished so that I think I can honestly say our archives are getting to be in excellent condition for doing Terrace Park research. Two very interesting inquiries have come in just in the last couple of days.
The first one comes from someone working on pictures for a family reunion in August. She found our web site because it listed one of her 2nd cousins as married to a 1954 Terrace Park High School graduate. What she wanted was a high school picture of this wife of her 2nd cousin. I've now sent her an enlarged copy of the senior picture.
The 2nd inquiry comes from someone just finishing research for a book he's writing on the founding of the Boy Scouts of America. I believe he found our web site because I had at one time written an article using material from an article we have in the archives concerning a Terrace Park resident who was perhaps the first boy scout group leader - even before the Scouts were officially founded in this country. I've now sent him that article along with another, which may have been in the same newspaper concerning the founders of the Boy Scouts.
These are just two examples of material we have that may be of interest to someone we've never heard of before. People sometimes ask me who's ever going to want to look at the material we're collecting. This answer is, "One never knows", but obviously our Terrace Park web site is being found useful.
