Our Museum was featured on KTVZ last night.
Joe Burns, reporter extraordinaire and self-proclaimed Redmond booster, came in to the Museum last Thursday while I was docenting. We are Facebook "buddies" ever since he did a phone interview with me last year. So I invited him to come in and check out the Museum. He said he would try to get up there; I thought well, that's a nice way to say he probably won't come.
But he did come.
He loved the Museum so much that he said he would try to get his bosses to let him do a feature story on us. We got the word on Monday that he would be there on Tuesday morning to do his story.
Along with Kathy, the President of the Greater Redmond Historical Society and my good friend, Joe spent a good chunk of the day talking with us and filming virtually everything he could. I even took him down into the "Vault", where we store our archives. That wasn't the best part of the whole day, however.
Turns out that Joe is from Eastern Oregon and has family in the Condon area. Kathy lived and worked in Condon for many years and in fact was friends with Joe's grandparents! She was also acquainted with several other of Joe's family too. How fun it was to listen to Kathy tell Joe stories about his own family that he never knew. What a small world, we told each other several times that day.
A perfect day, in my opinion.
