"A Look Back ... Images of Herrin's Past - Volume II" HAHS Mtg Oct 2014

This was a fantastic slide show program by Lisa.  There was an all time attendance record of 60 for this, the third of Lisa's slide show presentations.  Lots of input from the attendees, questions and answers regarding interesting photos from Herrin's past:  residents, places, events, and memories.

Here's some of Phil's photo ops from the meeting:

September 12, 2014                   Herrin Area Historical Society Meeting

Pete Peterson Discussed Major League Baseball Players from Southern Illinois:

He presented the careers/stories of

Ray Chapman, Robert Veach and Ray Fosse.

We had outstanding attendance of 50 local folks, HAHS members and non-members.  This was a very interesting program with lots of MLB stories and a huge amount of information on our area. 

Below is the handout that Peterson presented attendees.

Gordon Pruitt arranged the program for September and stood in for

Peterson's exhibit of various pitching skills.

 

 
 

Peterson related that he played ball as a youngster.  He told stories about his experiences and writing about MLB.





















He explains the black baseball. . . .  Did you know?

 

 

One of his books.

 

Peterson gave a remarkable review

of Major League Baseball,

his personal experiences

and answered questions from the group.

And that was our Herrin Area Historical Society meeting program for September.
Thanks to Gordon Pruitt for arranging an interesting program, Cheryl Ranchino Trench for all the neat PR and Phillip Stucker, HAHS President for keeping it going.

Hope you enjoy our HAHS Blog and come back again.

 

Happy End of Summer!
