Today, I am talking with Bonnie Cockrum, a long-time volunteer and President-Elect of the Grand Prairie Historical Organization. Recorded at the new GPHO Museum, we talk about the recently renovated building and the goals of the organization. Bonnie tells us about the importance of digitizing documents and how they set-up their digitizing room, as well as the ongoing effort to always fill in the gaps in history with first-hand accounts of stories from citizens. As a history buff myself, I found this interview incredibly informative and discovered a new-found respect for the history of our town, and I hope you will too!
