2 T HE M USEUM P AGE 2 NEWS BRIEFS Clancy Rogers Museum Manager Recently while reviewing our files for articles for the newsletter I ran across a photograph of Sam & Norma Jean Bolonga. Which began me thinking that its been just over a year that since they moved to Sutherlin, Oregon, and how much we miss them and all the time they volunteered to the museum and all the work they did. Sam & Norma were members of the museum for many, many years, both were docents and held many positions in our organization and donated many items to the museum. When I first started working at the museum four years ago Both Sam & Norma were involved in all aspects publishing the Newsletter and sending it out to our members each month. Both continued doing that until their retirement and move to Oregon. During that time both continued serving as docents.
