contributor to an 800-page volume titled, The Continuing History of
Marshall County, Iowa, published in 1999. |

Cemetery Tours which our community has enjoyed since the mid-1990’s, and
she continues to write the scripts which bring residents of the past to life
to educate and entertain us during the event. |

celebration of Marshalltown’s Sesquicentennial this year. A member of the
planning committee, she also authored the historical script for the
Marshalltown Milestones Sound and Light Show performed during Oktemberfest. |

decade of Marshalltown’s history with monthly articles published in the Chamber
