Do you have any other precious experience...?
I am an Oshkosh native and have lived for most of my life
on Washington Ave. (two different Williams Waters homes). My
mother was an avid antique collector and owned an antique
store for a time. My father and grandfather were both raised in
Oshkosh so I grew up hearing stories about the way things used
to be. This life experience has instilled me with a deep
appreciation for the past and an understanding of the value of
preserved heritage.
Please write a concise statement that describes why...
Now that I am retired and have adequate time, I think
serving on the landmark commission seems a very appropriate
way for me to give back to my hometown while also learning
more about its history. I'm enthusiastic and dependable and
feel I could be of some value.
In particular, I'd like to see children and young people
become more knowledgeable and interested in Oshkosh history
and to that end, I have an idea:
As part of my job as a school library media specialist in
Neenah, I became a skilled storyteller often telling stories of
Neenah's history as part of their local history curriculum
( Neenah is VERY history conscious!) . I believe that I could work
on a school presentation on historic homes and buildings in
Oshkosh by arranging known information into tellable stories
( accompanied by power point graphics) . This would be much
like what Ginnie Gross does for adults in her cemetery tours
but on the interest and comprehension level of children (I
think this could start as early as second grade but would be
most appropriate in grades 4 - 8).
