HPC — March 10, 2016 Additional source materials have been given to the teachers in charge of the History Class for Teachers. And while at Mary Mac I met the new principal for the now under construction Hillsdale grade school. The list of property owners by subdivision, block & lot is continuing. I'm currently working on J. M. Anderson's 2nd subdivision. Census work continues & someday we'll sit down & check the list of residents against the home owners & attempt to locate dwellings by families! We received from the Parks Department a large colored photo of the former J. M. K. farm & outbuildings. The photo was the property of the now deceased Elden Gray who lived there. The property is now The Village at Fairview & Eagle road. We learned about century old political shenanigans in Meridian at our March meeting. Robbie & I attended the second meeting of the group discussing a Children's Museum and this time learned that what the presenters call a museum is a very loose interpretation of the word museum and will affect the History Center very little if it materializes. We have provided information to the Idaho Milk Producers historian and are currently working with representatives of the local Nazarene church as they are celebrating their Centennial. The Parks Department stopped in to ask about an area family, but, we had very little and not the ones they were asking about — so we can't answer all the questions that come to us.
