Bob Piccone, a lifetime member of the Museum, contacted Bridget Bacon and sent a generous donation to make up for years when he wasn’t sending in membership renewal dues. 6.

More information will be forthcoming. 7. Wayne Lee reported to Bridget Bacon that he has almost sold all of his copies of his book Louisville: At Home in a Small Town.
