We had some interesting visitors! The great, great, great grandson of Andy Brown and his family came to see the Museum and the Annex. Thank you, Margie Clack, for facilitating the meeting! I've never seen anyone so excited! He was like a kid in a candy store! He will be sending some things to add to our collection at the Annex. He will also be loaning some things for us to scan. He's also coming back to do some personal research. While he was here, he purchased some of our limited edition prints and donated generously to our donation box.
Also, one of our researchers let us know that his book about John Wayne's filming locations is on the market. The museum and the Kern Valley area are mentioned twice! He even went so far as to mention our address if readers want to visit the Stagecoach! The book is called John Wayne Was Here: The Film Locations and Favorite Places of an American Icon by Roland Schaefli. I'm hoping we can find wholesale priced copies so we can sell it in the gift shop!
We also had two researchers visit who are working on projects related to our Edison Power Plants. They will be back soon!
