Sesquicentennial has been replaced by
the newer website for the Shepherd Area
Historical Society.

Our new members are:
design could be improved by making it the
Name Level same size as a standard business card, and
Jon Morgan Regular adding a logo. Contact information for the
Louie Holliday Regular society such as a general email address,
Greg Lyon Regular the website address, and a general phone
Dean Stalter Life number could also be included along the
Patti Sandel Regular bottom.
The following are examples of what

Newell Oren recognized for comparison, a copy of the card being issued
community involvement by the MAC3TV organization.
Friends, family, and community members gath-
ered together at the Shepherd Methodist Church
a few weeks ago to wish a fond farewell to Newell
and Lois Oren. Newell and his wife recently moved
to Jackson to be closer to family members. Larry
Noyes presented a special plaque to Newell on be-
half of the Shepherd Area Historical Society. New-
ell previously served as president of the Historical
Society and is currently a trustee.
