DRT welcomes local historian and new member

On Jan. 20, Tracey Wegehoft, local historian and author, presented a captivating program on Colorado County history to the Dilue Rose Harris Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas (DRT).

This talk was based on her book, “Live Oaks & Dead Folks: Tales and Images from the Nesbit Memorial Library Cemetery Tour.” She reviewed each section, describing interesting tidbits, fascinating photos, and humorous anecdotes.

Her energy, charm and wit kept the entire group enthralled and eager to learn more, or delighted to be part of, the legacy of our county.

Afterward, chapter attendees welcomed new member, Gloria Hogue as she was inducted to DRT by President Marilyn Wade and Chaplain Kathleen Townzen. If you are interested in DRT or membership visit www.drtinfo.org or contact Marilyn Wade ( MBWade. DRT@ gmai l . com).
