A few cool old pictures of my father in law (Ed Egging) & Don Meagher & Fran White taken on the 4th of July in 1930 & 1936! These young men were very proud of their fishing skills! These fish were caught on the reservation back when they could fish there.

6:40 A.M. Friday. - This 8 point buck came up to our glass doors just now. It was about a foot away from the glass doors staring in at me. I’m taking this as a sign from Tom.

What an awesome fundraiser for the Mattoon Museum Historical Society. The sweet treats and coffee sales also brought people in who walked through our educational displays. Thank you everyone who worked and purchased to support our efforts.
