MUSEUM SPOTLIGHT! Kevin Mulligan Volunteer Of The Month Kevin started volunteering at CSPM in March of 2016. He works the Wednesday morning shift on the front desk and also transcribes oral history audio tapes for the archives. He volunteers at the Museum because of his interest in U.S. Western history. He enjoys welcoming visitors to our beautiful building and talking a little about the exhibits, especially Helen Hunt Jackson’s. His special memory so far is a white-knuckled drive home from the Museum during the whiteout blizzard of March 2016. Kevin is retired after 42 years as a civilian employee with the Department of Defense. He is an avid reader, plays mediocre golf, and likes to travel. His wife, Suzanne, is President of the Pikes Peak Genealogical Society, so Kevin spends time with her searching for ancestors by walking through old cemeteries and visiting obscure county clerk offices. MUSEUM STORE Gifts Artisans Jewelry Books The Museum Store has joined with the Colorado Springs Utilities to sell the book “It’s How We’re All Connected, ” by Jerry Forte with Margaret Radford ($15.00). This book gives a historic account of how our utilities company came to be and how it continues its mission. A portion of the net proceeds from each book will benefit Project COPE (Citizens’ Option to Provide Energy), which provides utilities bill assistance for customers facing emergency situations. For $9.00, kids can hone their knowledge of our city with “Colorado Springs Activity Book” by Nancy Soderstrom. It’s full of local trivia, puzzles and games, and activity tips for a fun summer!
