Okay.

Um, Dr. Bradley Hennefent, uh, another one of our Roseville grads, and that's George and Brad, both brothers, um, went through there, and, um, and has distinguished professional careers in both medicine and in the law.

And, uh, it's fascinating that sometimes people, uh, you know, someone from a small town, people kind of forget that they go on to great things, and they certainly did.

That's wonderful.

And then, uh, Anne Kellogg, who, uh, I think you probably had as a student, too, right?

Mm

... where they get to go and visit the classrooms.

And I think that's one of the most outstanding parts of all this, because it gives, uh, our students a chance to see these people and think, "Yeah, they were sitting in the same desk that you might have been sitting in some years earlier, and look what they did with their lives.

Tell us about it, Tom

... well, this is the third annual cemetery walk that we're doing, and it'll be Wednesday, October 7th, at 5:30 out at the 6th Street Cemetery.

And I've already had some people ask me, "So where in the cemetery?" It's a big area.

So if you're driving north on 6th Street and you're headed towards County Market and Fareway and things, there's a little rise up there.

And if you notice, there's some of the biggest stones that are in the cemetery, like David Wallace's stone particularly stands out.

We're gonna be in that area up in there.

I call it the area the movers and the shakers with some other interesting people mixed in.

Business-

is that it?

And so I actually, at the same time as this was happening, there was the war in Syria.

Really horrible, horrible situation.

Big humanitarian crisis that came out the back of it from 2011 to 2016.

And I quit my job to go and work for a humanitarian charity.

And I did that for a couple of years.

Nothing to do with the art world.

Yeah.

Tell us about your latest venture.

Well, this all started about, believe it or not, about seven years ago.

And I had a friend named Bill Anderson who sadly has passed away, and he was one of our – friends at our family section over in Burlington Bees, and he asked me one day, he said, you ever heard of the Monmouth Browns? And I said, never heard of the Monmouth Browns.

And he handed me this card and said, well, there was a team in Monmouth in the early 1900s, they were called the Browns, and Here's this card.

And the question was whether the guy's name was Harry Welsh or Welch.

We weren't sure at the time.

And then it wasn't like maybe a year after that, I was talking to Jeff Rankin one day, and he says, did you know that the Cubs came to Monmouth and played twice here? I'm going like, no, they did not come to Monmouth.

That's right.
