Re: Steamboat Arabia Leader Killed in Vehicle Accident
How Horrible!! I was able to meet him on my one-and-only visit to the museum a few years ago. He was a very nice fellow and very patient with my questions. That museum is a national treasure that we'd not have if not for Greg Hawley and his family!!

Re: Steamboat Arabia Leader Killed in Vehicle Accident
That is heartbreaking! I was privileged to visit the museum last year, and I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Wickett's comment above, it is indeed a national treasure. What terribly sad news this is!
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. My deepest condolences to them.

His children, the Museum, and the opportunity he gave all of us to see into our Nation's past will be his legacy...
