The Montgomery County Historical
Commission presented its "William Harley Gandy Distinguished Service Award"
at the County Commissioner's Court Tuesday Morning, November 19, 2019. This year's recipients
were Jean Huot Smoorenburg and Jane Sanford Keppler. Jane was unable to
attend the ceremony. Jean is pictured here

historical commission to those unsung heroes in our county who promote and
advance the research and archiving of significant Montgomery County history.
Jean and Jane are the editors of a unique genealogical and historical online
website:

award have been Kay Dawes, an east county historian, and Sondra Hernandez,
the Features editor for the Courier newspaper. |
