Olney Community Library and Arts Center hosted reception for local artist

On May 24, the Olney Community Library and Arts Center [OCLAC] hosted a reception for local artist and photographer Brie Dinwiddie. Twice a year, the OCLAC hosts a local artist, displaying the artists’ work such as paintings, photography, pottery and drawings, to name a few forms of art that go on display. The reception for Dinwiddie was a chance for the artist to mingle with the public and discuss her art.

Fort Worth Symphony performed

Fort Worth Symphony performed at Graham Memorial Auditorium

As I listened to the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra play Feb. 15, at the Graham Memorial Auditorium, it dawned on me that I had never heard a symphony orchestra play in person. I have been to musicals and ballets where a small orchestra played in the pit below the stage, but this was my first full symphony experience. It will not be my last.

The Lunn-Miller House

In 1941, R. Bernard Lunn (1909-1982) and his wife Pauline (Hayley) (1907-1980) purchased the lot for the house and immediately executed a mechanic’s lien with R.S. Scott and George F. Scott to build the house for $ 3,700. Bernard was a member of the W.N. Lunn Family. Pauline was the daughter of K.H. Hayley, whose house at 202 S. Ave. D has been reviewed in this column. The Lunns married in 1927, and Bernard was a former mayor of Olney and served in World War II.
