                  <text>Dear Elizabeth DeGrenier,
I am writing to inform you of the work that we at the Casper College Western History have
completed in regards to tracking and curating materials for a small exhibit involving images
and recollections of Frontier Cattle Industry Networks and the Johnson County War. I’m a
spring semester intern working under the supervision of Hanz Olson, and this project is a
part of my training in collections management and civic-oriented interpretation. Thus far
we have made progress on recording and preparing images from the Charles “Chuck”
Morrison collection, and several other collections, in preparation for the upcoming GLAM
exhibit: "The West: Past, Present, and Future".
As we at the center continue refining the installation, we want to be sure that it aligns
thoughtfully with broader statewide interpretive efforts. We were wondering if it would be
possible to view or briefly discuss your interpretive plan or key themes for the Johnson
County War or related civic-engagement work? Our aim is to ensure that this installation
complements– not contradicts– ongoing programming and priorities.
I would also like to inquire as to whether it would be acceptable to add two interpretive
panels above the installation, connected visually with a two-way arrow between them. We
are hoping to pair an artifact drawn from your interpretive framework with one from our own
selection to highlight dialogue between perspectives.
Additionally, to my previous requests, we were wondering if it would be possible for
possibly several members of the center and myself to visit the State Museum to assess
your exhibit featuring the event? Those of us at the center would value the opportunity to
better understand your interpretive approach and explore ways to further collaborate or
align this installation with your work.
I would also like to recognize your leadership in civic programming initiatives such your
Civic Season Programming initiative, the monthly Family Days, and educational outreach
initiatives. Furthermore, if there is preferred language or framing you recommend when
connecting historical interpretation to civic participation/engagement today, I would greatly
value your input.
Thank you greatly for your time, and I would be happy to further discuss whenever
convenient.
Best regards,
Libby Baker, The Western History Center.
