CONTRIBUTORS
Article Authors: The following people have shared their writing talents in creating this special millennial issue of In Focus:
Bunny Cushman Corkill is a member of a seven generation Lahontan Valley family. She is the Research Curator at the Churchill County Museum.
Bernadette S. Francke recently completed a two year term on the Churchill County Museum Association's Board of Trustees. She has worked for Nevada State Parks and the Comstock Historic District Commission in Virginia City and, after receiving her Master's Degree in 1999 in American Studies, is now employed as an independent research consultant.
Jay Powell Hammond is a Fallon native who enjoys creative writing. Having lived away for a number of years, she has returned home to enjoy retirement with her husband Jon.
Sheryln Hayes-Zorn has been the Registrar at the Churchill County Museum since April of 1997. Shery has a B.A. degree in Broadfield History and minors in Social Science and Community Service. Ultimately, she would like to work on a Master's Degree in the field of textiles. She is a recent recipient of the Jack Handford Internship through the Costume Society of America. Her topic of study will be the collections of fraternal regalia at the Nevada State Museum's Marjorie Russell Textile Center in Carson City. Shery was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa Society at Western Nevada Community College this April.
Mary Ellyn Schneider Jacobsen is a lifetime Churchill County resident. A homemaker, she and her late husband, Keith, are the parents of four children. In this In Focus, she shares the dreams and heartaches of a typical Lahontan Valley pioneer family, the Schneiders.
Michon Maupin Mackedon is an English instructor at Western Nevada Community College where she was honored in 1996 and 1999 as "Instructor of the Year." She holds a B.A. degree in history and a Master's Degree in English, both from the University of Nevada. Her first book, Speaking Atomic, dealing with the nuclear age, will soon be published by the University of Nevada Press. Michon has been the coeditor of In Focus since 1987.
Pam Nelson has been the Photograph Curator at the Churchill County Museum since June of 1997. Earlier, she spent three years at the Nevada State Museum interning with the exhibit and registrar departments and four years at the Nevada Historical Society working with the manuscript collections. After working for the Churchill County School District for ten years, Pam returned to the museum field and received a B.A. degree from the University of Nevada-Reno in museum studies and library science.

Jane Pieplow has been the Director of the Churchill County Museum since November of 1992. Jane received a B.F.A. degree in Commerical Art in 1976 and a Master's Degree in Public History in 1989, both from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In addition to her museum duties, she also enjoys arranging music for and performing with her Fallon friends who make up Harmony 5. They have just released their third collection of songs on a CD entitled The Way We Were. Jane is the co-editor and mastermind behind the technical production of In Focus.
More Authors: We have used many fine articles from books and Fallon newspapers in the preparation of this issue. We would like to acknowledge the efforts of the following authors and journalists who felt that preserving the history of our state is an important endeavor:
Gloria Griffen Cline, Stanley Cooper, Phillip Earl, William Ferguson, James Hulse, the late Tom Inglis, the late Ira L. Kent, the late Leno Madraso, Harry Norman, Sharon Lee Taylor and the late John M. Townley.
Artists: We have used four original drawings from two Fallon artists to add variety to this publication:
Joanne Y. McConwell received her initial art training at St. Xavier College in Chicago. After working in accounting to help put her four children through college, she and her husband Ken moved from Montana to Fallon in 1993. Here she has been able to return to her love of drawing and painting.
Victor Williams has lived in Fallon off and on for the past 50 years and has been an artist all of his life. Vic attended Churchill County High School and continued his education at the University of Nevada-Reno and Puma College in Tucson, Arizona. He has taught painting, drawing and silversmithing at the Western Nevada Community College in Fallon for a number of years, and has had his artwork exhibited nationally and internationally.
