| The 2005 Annual Meeting will
took place at the Methodist Church at the corner of 5th and Oak
Streets in Colusa, CA. on February 19, 2005. Our featured guest speaker was Dr. Robert J. La Perriere. As usual, the ladies at the United Methodist Church cooked a wonderful lunch and dessert. After lunch. Dr. La Perriere gave a presentation about medicine in the gold rush days. After the presentation, Dr. Richard Johnson, CCHS President presented Gale Rhoades of Daly CIty, CA. with a "Colusi County Bounty" package in appreciation of her help on the current index of Wagon Wheels. Dr. Richard Johnson then explained the revision of the by-laws for 2005. Dr. Richard Johnson was then presented with a scrap book made by the membership of CCHS for a wonderful job as CCHS President. The membership welcomed Charles Martin as the new CCHS President.
A note from the Webmaster: Shortly after the meeting adjourned, I had a chance to speak with Mr. Leroy Prindle, a member and alumnus of Codora School in Glenn County. Mr. Prindle had mentioned to me that a long time friend of his had contacted him through this website. That friend, from Carson City, NV. had come across the website and browsed through the Glenn County Rural Schools page. He had seen one of the pictures of Codora School and located Mr. Prindle. By coincidence, Mr. Prindle had let me take a photo of that print at the 2004 Spring Meeting as a contribution to this website. According to Mr. Prindle, the two school buddies just missed each other at a high school reunion six years ago. They haven't seen each other since high school. The friend had contacted Mr. Prindle by mail and the two plan to meet very soon. |
