A Conversation with Bill Haw Filmed for the Pioneer Bluffs Center for Flint Hills Ranching Heritage.

"The Trusler Twenty." In partnership with Pioneer Bluffs Center for Flinthills Ranching Heritage, we have been awarded a generous grant from the Trusler Foundation of Emporia, Kansas. This gift, in combination with support from the Wabaunsee County Historical Society and Museum, and the Volland Store, funds 20 more interviews and two related events! Filming will take place over the next few months. When we have all of these squares filled, we'll host two screening events and then make the collection public.

Our list is coming together nicely, but we still have a few open slots. We are looking for older Flint Hills area farmers and ranchers who might have a few good stories to share. If you know of someone who should be part of this project, please let me know: Mark@MarkFeiden.com
