Museum Tidings
Quick Summer Issue
May, 1997
The official quarterly newsletter of the Tehama
County Museum
(WebPage edition)
From the editor:
This will be a quick look at what is going on
at your museum. Due to the ill health of our secretary
since before Christmas, it has been hard to get
everything in this department done. Thanks to
the rest of the Board, the jobs were completed
along with everything else that had to be done.
Great Thanks are due the Board for their help.
And FINALLY I am in a state of recovery, getting
better slowly but surely. Now, being house-bound
and unable to drive anywhere, I have to admit
this is about the limit of my knowledge. All the
other members of the board are FULL of facts and
suggestions for help or visiting or doing something
for the Museum. …Margaret Bauer
One of these days before long, we are going to
have to consider a pole barn for our agriculture
and some other outdoor-type exhibits. Dick Chamberlain
has just acquired a new lumbering saw that is
a humdinger and a big addition to our lumber exhibit.
It is equal in size to the gas chain saw we already
had.
We have had visits from many groups this year.
One date involved two groups that were miles apart
in interest but the men kindly went upstairs to
study their antique guns while the ladies of Delta
Kappa Gamma teachers' group met downstairs and
had a fashion show of some of our older clothes.
The men meet every month, but this is the second
visit for the DKG. We can look forward in June
to a visit from the Conference of California Historical
Societies' State Meeting in Chico. We are on the
tour list. This is the group that presented the
award to Maggie last June.
IN MEMORY
One of our very good members and a long-time influence
in our county died in March. Inez Marie Borror
left us on March 12 of this year at the age of
90. She was an enthusiastic 4-H leader, an active
member of the El Camino Methodist Church and organized
and worked for the Hope Chest in Red Bluff. She
is survived by her son Bill Borror of Tehama,
a sister, six grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren.
We can ALWAYS
use new Docents…only 3 hours a month…and
the pay raises are tremendous. (Well, of course
your know that this is volunteer work, but it
does pay off in the wonderful people you might
meet and the increase in your own knowledge of
our county.)
