Thank You to our Dedicated Docents                                 By Doug Nelson

This goes out to all who served as docents (hosts) for our museum this summer. We had lots of fun, learned some new things and made many new friends, both among the troops and visitors.
The lesson that stands out is that docents need to find a way to engage the visitor. Some docents asked where the visitors were from, or how they found out about the museum. Others wondered what vehicle they liked best. We are now in the “Show” business — a certain glamour is rubbing off on our workers. Our visitors recognized your effort and were appreciative. Being open on weekends was a big plus for Powerland and the Museum.
The following members did docent duty one or more times this summer:
Don Feller, Docent Chairman; Bert and Lucy Harrison, Eric Olson and Marylyn Kongslie, Niles Olson, Frank Smith, Mike Bell, Ray Hansen, Mike and Mary Bostwick, Ron and Ann Sowerby, Marty Boehme, Neil Beutler, Jerry and Sandy Grulkey, Roy Asbahr, Dale Poteet, Don and Joanne Blaine, Ron and Lou Rawlings, Steven and Connie Miller, Gene Walker, Bud Wright, Karyn Phau, Craig Hannum, Ed and Mary Webber, Doug Nelson, Andy Voytilla, Dean McKnight, Gene Jacobs, Mike Bade, John and Bev Chandler, Tom Kneeland, Don Petersen, Rusty Medearis, Bill Barnell, Roger White, Ken and Jean Dietrich, Bill Hellie, Jim Comfort, Tom Ruttan, Arnie and Linda Anderson, Bob and Elaine Hickman, Brice Fortier, Mike Ricks, Steve Zielinski, Dave Ricks, Jean Winsor, Tony Vassallo, Dennis Gilman, Lee Franklin, Dave Mulhern, Burt Edwards and Marshall Nelson.
