Summary
In November 1961, A. J. Roy received an original photograph of Feodora Protar from Pat and Rose Bonner, framed it, and placed it on display in the museum. The Historical Society also offered a Michigan State University Press edition of James J. Strang’s 1831–1836 diary, transcribed by Strang’s grandson Mark A. Strang.
The issue also says an ice-cream social at the museum drew more than seventy visitors, documenting active public history programming.
