On Sunday, Sept. 25, the Glancy family will be at the Anchorage to donate three
unknown Glancy paintings including his 18-year-old sister Lida’s portrait. Supposedly the only
known portrait ever painted by Glancy. The paintings belonged to Cheryl Morris Thornton, Lida’s
granddaughter. Lida’s and John Glancy’s grandnephew, Jeff Glancy, will be there to present the
painting to the society and talk about his great uncle’s many other talents.
Marvel Rich Ferguson, at 102 years old, is the current oldest living Goshen Graduate. She
collaborated with Her grandniece, Jeanette Jackson, a Loveland author, to create a novel entitled
Hunting Wildflowers. It unpacks a rich historically accurate description of our community during
the Great Depression. Together they weave a passage through time uncovering love, greed, and
jealousy. The title comes from her grandfather’s phrase describing his whereabouts while visiting
his girlfriend.
Please plan on stopping by and visiting with these ladies and help celebrate
the Grand Opening of the museum on a regular basis.
