SEYMOUR HISTORY BULLETIN FALL/WINTER 2024
October 31st, 2024
The Contents of this Issue
The purpose of our newsletter is to keep our members informed of events taking place at the museum and to keep Seymour History alive through relating past social, cultural and economic activities. This publication includes part two of an poignant interview with Robert Court who served as a medic in Vietnam. Veteran Seymour businessman Kurt Boettcher has replaced Bill Collar as president of the historical society and Terry Lardinois has been named vice-president. We continue to be thankful to our sponsors who step forward to help make Music in the Park possible. Also of interest to local history buffs are a number of 1924 Seymour news articles from the Green Bay and Appleton papers. It is fascinating to compare life in Seymour 100 years ago with life today.
Since a fire at the Seymour Press office destroyed copies of the local paper prior to 1947, historians must research Green Bay and Appleton papers for Seymour news. Fortunately, the larger area papers included a "Seymour News" section every week or two. The last several pages of this publication list our most recent contributors. Thank you for your gifts and donations necessary to keep our mission on track. The Seymour City Council recognizes the value of preserving our heritage and supporting an attractive museum through covering the cost of the museum utilities.
Changes in Distribution of the Newsletter
Because of increased postal rates, changing addresses and the increased cost of production, you will only receive a paper copy of the Seymour History Bulletin if you have made a donation in the past year or if you contact Bill Collar via e-mail (bicollar@aol.com) or by phone (920 833-6064). A number of our members contribute to the historical society every year. You will continue to receive a paper copy of the newsletter unless you contact Bill and indicate you no longer desire a paper copy. All members of the Seymour Community Historical Society will receive an electronic copy sent to their e-mail on file. If your address and/or e-mail change, or are not on file be sure to contact Bill. Thank you for your continued support.
