We are still experiencing a warm glow from all the support of the area, we would like to acknowledge the McDonald County Telephone Company, U. S. Bank, Bob Evenson, Attorney at Law, James Dorrough, Fred Pitts from Joplin, Representative Bill Reiboldt and Representative Bill Lant for their support on our soup day last month. Also we would like to express our appreciation to all that showed up and shared lunch with us. We are also celebrating a letter Virginia Hall received reference the Old McDonald County Courthouse from the Department of Natural Resources. That warm glow just keeps glowing as we learn they have received information provided and "Based on this review, we believe that the property may be eligble for nomination to the National Register.", and as Virginia says, we are on our way. We would like to invite all our readers at this time to join us March 20. At this, our regular, semi-monthly meeting, to be at the new court house on "W" Hwy in Pineville at 2:00 p.m. Dorothy Beauchamp will bring us an inside look at THE 1961 SECESSION OF MCDONALD COUNTY FROM THE STATE OF MISSOURI. A guest speaker, Patty (Stephens) Buck has agreed to come and read her mother's account of the entire three-year event. Jim Stephens was the head of the McDonald Territory Militia. And, that isn't all! We Are On Our Way. If you would like to be a part of this project, check out our Web Page www.mcdonaldcohistory.org/museum.htm. This Saturday our museum, just south of the U. S. Post Office in Pineville will open our regular hours, you are invited, no charge, come by and see all the wonderful contributions. In the meantime, See you Sunday, March 20.
