Normally, we begin our summer hours in May, but
due to our current beautiful Navajo Textile exhibit
we are going to start our summer hours two months
early. We will now be open on Saturdays from 1-3
p.m. This will give you a chance to come down on Sat-
urdays to see this wonderful collection of Navajo
rugs, wearing blankets, and saddle blankets. Bring
you friends, family, and guests down to view these in-
tricate weavings of vibrant colors and distinct pat-
terns. You will be amazed.
The museum is offering a Creative Rubber
Stamping Class on Saturday March 20th. Learn the
art of "stamping" to create your own beautiful cards,
gifts, scrapbooking pages and much more. This tech-
nique is ideal for Easter cards and gift decorating,

hope everyone will come by and view the exhibit and
praise the kids for a job well done.
We have three side saddles in our collection and
everyone who visits discusses how the ladies had to
be good riders to stay on the horse with the type of
dress they were required to wear in those days. One
day, Jim Bussard of Lipscomb, and frequent mu-
seum keeper, was visiting and told this story about
his grandmother, Ella Mae Caseman Keffer. "She
made a trip to town riding side saddle. She had a kid
behind, a kid in front, and holding a baby. She
stopped at a creek to water the horse, and a stone
rolled by, spooked the horse and the horse bucked
forward and she said the next thing she knew she was
sitting on the saddle in the creek with a kid behind, a

Thanks Jim.
This week in history, Alexander Graham Bell,
started his own company to sell his invention and
speaks his famous words over the telephone,
"Mr.Watson, come here, I want you." In 1933, Presi-
dent Roosevelt gives the first of his "fireside chats,"
making innovative use of the radio as a means of
mass communication. In 1885, President Grover
Cleyeland speaks out against the incursion of white
settlers into Indian territory in Oklahoma. In four
years, the federal government would declare it open
to white settlement.
I obtained these history notes from a book by
Larry Shapiro entitled A Book of Days in American
History, published by Charles Scribner's Sons in
1987.
