Thanks so much to the Bechards who brought in two Pal Blade boxes complete with blades on Friday. We had a lovely visit. They told us stories of the local area and we showed them our new acquisition of the William Wallace Wood frock coat. The blades belonged to Raymond's father and were given to him by his mother after his father died. The couple, both history lovers, thought they would make a nice artifacts for CCHA because of their link to Clinton County. Raymond and Margaret promised to come back to the museum for a tour soon, but were on their way to see the bear cub that has been sighted in the local area. Thanks again for thinking of us.
