Heritage Quest Research Library’s AutumnQuest A Success!
Jim Johnson, Director of the Heritage Quest Research Library, and his wonderful crew (including wife, Patty) pulled off another fantastically successful AutumnQuest last Saturday, October 10th. Here is Jim teaching us all about using the Flip-Pal product………
Three WSGS Board members attended: Patty Olsen, Roger Newman and Donna Potter Phillips. The rest of you missed a grand day.
Speakers for the day were (L to R) Janice Lovelace, Janet O’Conor Camarata, Donna, and Jill Morelli. (We’re wearing the pin-in flowers from our speakers’ thank you gifts.) The theme for the day was Finding Women’s Records and each speaker addressed a different aspect of that topic…. much of which was new to the audience.
Years ago, WSGS coined the phrase, “You won’t know if you don’t go.” The nearly 100 folks in attendance last Saturday know for sure a day-full of genealogical information that they didn’t know before. Hope next time the audience includes you.
