Matt Conrick

 

Joan Degener

“I joined the Fort Ann Historical Society, a few months after it formed, when I found out Welch Hollow might be left out of the Fort Ann: 300 Years of History Book. I grew up on a dairy farm in Welch Hollow, and wanted to share the fun times of living in this beautiful valley.  By supporting and helping each other we were able to publish our history book- this was a huge challenge accomplished!  Our Historical Society wants everyone to appreciate, enjoy, and know about the wonderful historical sights in the Fort Ann area.”

“My mother was born and raised in Fort Ann, I joined the Airforce after graduating. Where I met my husband. When he was getting ready to retire from 20 years of active service we decided to settle in Fort Ann. Couldn’t think of a better place for our children to live . There’s just something about Fort Ann. I joined the Historical society by accident. Lol lol. I was asked to help sort newspapers after the book was published, wont mention any names, Sue Allen, lol, and I’ve been a member ever since.”

“I grew up in Upstate, New York, and continue to live in Upstate, New York with my husband and children.

I got involved in the Fort Ann Historical Society in 2018 because of my interest in local history, as well as wanting to be involved in the community.  Someday I might even start a podcast about the history of this area!

Even though I am not able to attend many meetings, I enjoy being able to help from behind the scenes!”
