Buffalo Bill Experience by: Gunny Jeff Norman
Hear it in Bills own words as history comes alive!
Colorado-based Buffalo Bill re-enactor, Gunny Jeff Norman, guides
audiences down the untamed frontier trail that was Buffalo Bill Codys life in a
costumed living history performance thats as entertaining as it is informative!
The BUFFALO BILL EXPERIENCE is chock full of all the wagon
train driving, Army scouting, Indian fighting, and Pony Express
riding adventures that made Buffalo Bill an American icon. Jeff
colorfully portrays Buffalo Bills amazing rags to riches to rags life,
blending equal parts humor, drama, and little-known historical
anecdotes.
Re-enactor Jeff Norman is a retired US Marine, a former award-winning DOD
technical instructor, martial arts instructor, softball coach and guitar teacher, now
residing in Castle Rock, CO. Visit his web site at http://buffalobillexperience.com/

In Memoriam
We mourn the passing of three of our members:
Robert Brewer, husband of docent Carolyn Brewer.
Carolyn also partnered with Vi White to manage our
gift shop in the past.
Frieda Schultz, Tuscarora Wolf Clan and resident of
Greece, who provided the narration for our new slide
show in the Haudenosaunee exhibit. She greeted us
in Seneca with her dialog of the fishing and hunting
camp depicted in our mural. Frieda also participated
in the Native American Celebration we held last year
at the Greece Community & Senior Center. She told of
what it was like to grow up and live on a reservation.
Her father was a Chief of the Tuscaroras.
Father John Lee, archaeologist, St. John Fisher
College. Fr. Lee was a strong supporter of the marine
history of our area. He enjoyed our Tuesday evening
programs. He was also a member of the Charlotte
Genesee Lighthouse and their Marine History Group.
Memorial Gifts
Memorial gifts were received from the
Howe family for three individuals who
grew up in the Latta/Long Pond area with
the Howe children, Gretchen, Gordon II,
and David Howe. Their gift honored
William Badgerow, John Sale, and Richard
Rickman. The Society truly appreciates the
Howe family donation to our investment
fund.

In conjunction
with our World
War II exhibit, a
field trip has
been planned to
the former
POW/CCC camp
near Hamlin
Beach State Park
on Friday,
September 18th.
The guided tour will begin at 10:20 and last approximately 1
hours. There will be some walking but the ground is level.
You may meet at the Greece Museum, 595 Long Pond Rd at
10:00 am to car pool or meet the group at the Camp site, 968
Moscow Rd, Hamlin, NY at 10:20. The site is approximately 17
miles from the Greece Museum via the Parkway.
The camp was one of many established during WWII.
Prisoners eased labor shortages on area farms, worked as food
production workers in such companies as Duffy Mott, and drove
government vehicles. The former CCC buildings were converted
to house first Italian and then German prisoners of war.
A donation of $5.00 will be collected from each participant at
the camp site. To register for the field trip, please call the
Historical Society during our business hours on Monday and
Tuesday mornings from 9:30 to noon at 585-225-7221 or leave a
message and let us know whether you will be meeting at the
Greece Museum and plan to car pool or will meet us at the site.
Please leave your phone number in case we need to return your
call. You may also register by email at
greecehistoricalsociety@yahoo.com.

successful
community yard
