  Want your museum to be the top-listed Museum in Alma?

About this page...

IT was suggested to me that I should put a little personal information here... just to avoid misunderstandings, if nothing else! Now I do prefer to be behind the camera, so I will have to look for a picture to post, but I can fill in some details in the meanwhile...

My name is Kathy Hendricks. I have lived in the Alma area for some time, though I was originally from Emporia. I first came to Alma to teach at Wabaunsee High School... oh, many years ago! I met Larry Hendricks and we were married the next spring! Life happened: I quit teaching for a while, had a couple kids, went back to work in Wamego, came back to Wabaunsee for several years and then retired!

Then I applied for the Curator’s job at WCHS Museum. Although I had visited the museum a few times through the years, I didn’t know much about it. I accepted the job and went to work in April--the same day as the big fire! (Memorable, that!) Later I learned that my father-in-law Marvin Hendricks was a true believer in the museum! He was a charter member, no less!

I worked as Curator for a year, during which I started this page. Although I resigned from the museum, I have kept the page going. I am so pleased that people can follow (and maybe even enjoy!) what’s happening here in Wabaunsee County!
