The Veterans Museum participation at the Front Range Community College’s Third Annual History Conference consisted of a table display in the main portion of the library, and Bob Moulder’s presentation, “Civil War in the West.” David Jamiel had been scheduled to do a talk as well, but was a bit under the weather. Instead, he and Shirley set up their Mormon Battalion display on an adjacent table and engaged people throughout the day. Bob’s presentation went very well, and David and Shirley were very busy most of the day talking with interested visitors at the table.
The intent of the conference in general was to engage the History Department students and encourage their participation, and also invite outside community organizations, like ourselves, and other educational related companies.
Visit the museum soon to see a special exhibit about a Pearl Harbor Survivor, Albert “Pete” Peterson. He was on the U.S.S. West Virginia and lived to tell his heroic story. His daughter now honors him through this display showing his time in Hawaii and his life afterward. We put the exhibit up for Dec 7th and will be taking it down next month, come see it before its gone!
