Lucille Schmitt, Director

About Lucille: My family moved from Nebraska to a ranch in this area in 1962. I soon became fascinated with area history and started saving all the stories and printed materials I could get my hands on. My participation on the board is part of my ongoing effort to preserve this “stuff” for others who may be interested.
