The Votes are in as the
Museum announces the
2009 Hall Inductees
10 Year Anniversary for
the Museum's Hall of Fame
In 1999, the Museum's Hall of Fame
was established to represent the historic achievements of those that have come
before us. Each year, the previous Hall inductees are eligible to cast their
vote and select the next 10 historic figures.
The previous Hall members are extremely
picking on their choices and needless to say, they have selected a number of
great individuals whose efforts are well deserved. |
