In the last of this summer's
Moments at the`Museum, the
Signal -Star pays tribute not to
the- exhibits, but the -people
;who take:; care of thein- the
worker's 4 the Huron County
Pionee1 Museum.
The museu'in has four full-
• ' time' workers — Friedl. Nanz,
':'Ztaypinc otehmer; Rixssell
Rfrimmer . and . Nancy
Beaver. These; people work at
the museum year-round, and
tike the museum itself
-• 'represent iHuuron County and
: not•just Goderich,
Friedl Nanz is the one
worker you are -Most likely to
• see. As assistant curator, she
attends to the duties .of the
ticket booth, bookkeeping,
assorted office' work;
supervision.'. of the guides,
payroll, and during the winter
(photoby,Harvey McDowell) months she"helps work on the
exhibits.
M$. AND MRS. D,M.;S WITZE•R Mrs. Nanz has worked' at
-eum. since April. of

cleaning work, but when
hone' •mo n
y o

children first-hand about the
ways of the pioneers. . •
'think that this could.
really be a . great asset," be
cornme ►il.
% The museum employee you
are probably least likely, to '
see is Nancy Beaver Her
lob-is-eataloguing every item:,'
inside . and , outside the
museum's walls. The first,
cataloguing was 'done by'Mr. w
Neill' in notebooks,.It was then
changed to e - card -type •
system,'. but -in lteeping,,with
standardization, everything'.
now has to be done the way all
the large Canadian museums
do. .
She greatly enjoys .her. job,
as she is learning, in effect,
about, every. s-iltgle .thing • an
the museum.. Her experience
in photography, three years
at university, comes in handy
when she takes photographs
of the items in:the catalogue.
1 ---While- thejob is -full-time
is not a long-term .proposition..
She hopes • to have the job
done in a total of two years. If
that seems like a long time,
just try to count the number •
of exhibits which have to be
covered.
The fourth of the museum's
.full-time- 'workers is 'Russell
Pfriihmer. He lives in Ben,
miller where his father and '*
grandfather before him lived
as well. He ; is a direct
descendant of the first:
Pfrimmers in Canada. •
He helped his father run the
mill which is how the hotel.
His years of °experience'
around people,sef•'ves him
well. As custodian he meets a-.
lot of people:. -
"When I worked at the
I'd go crazy if I hadto work
alone: 'I like to be, around'
'people," he adds.
As'custodian he is in charge
of all building- maintenance
including ;.vacuuming,
dusting, Iaw,n care,,gardenin-g
and washing. His sense of
humour and general good
nature is e. bright spot inside
the•Museum's.old walls.
'. When' you visit the Huro'nt
County Pioneer Museum,
look for, these' people. They
are the people whowork"Year-
