Linda and Jerry Smith – January 2022 Volunteer Spotlight

After Jerry retired from Kohler Co. in 2016, the Smiths spent a few years restructuring their lives. Now they spend most of their days volunteering together. Recently at the Museum, they have helped with full-day education programming, setup and takedown of Holiday Memories, events, administration, and children’s activities. Asked why they volunteer, Linda answers simply, “I like to help people.” 

We are kicking off a new monthly blog at the Museum for 2022! Collection Connections will bring you behind the scenes into some of the important, fascinating and occasionally frustrating work that keeps the collection, exhibitions, and more moving forward at the Museum. Our first feature is from one of our Summer 2021 Interns – David Rush. Watch for additional blogs from our other Summer 2021 Interns Nick Eggert and Roman Lulloff in the months to come.
