Squires speaks on Idaho County homesteads
Sunday, September 8 at 2:00 p.m., Bob Squires will speak in the Welcome Center, 516 main street Kamiah about early Idaho County Homesteads, which is being hosted by the Kamiah Valley Historical Society. Mr. Squires will give us some general information about homesteads and then tell about specific homesteads, who owned them, the year they were acquired, and any other information or stories relative to individual homesteads that he learned through his research. During his retirement, Mr. Squires has spent hours researching area homesteads. For him, it was fun and rewarding and, as a result, he has created important and pertinent information to share with his friends and community. This will be a special presentation you will not want to miss. Bob Squires was a teacher and coach directly after college. He loved the classroom, working as a coach, and inspired his students to become the best they could be in their journey of life. Mr. Squires had a special love for track and field. During his years of coaching, his boys won 28 District and Regional championships, 5 State championships, and 16 top four finishes at State events and the girls won 9 District and Regional Championships with 3 State Championships. Mr. Squires has been recognized by the Idaho State Athletic Association and been inducted to the North Idaho Hall of Fame for his coaching accomplishments. On September 1, 2017, Mr. Squires was given the ultimate honor; the Kamiah Schools and Community named the Track and Football field “The Bob Squires Sports Complex” in honor of his coaching and work with young people during his teaching days and during his retirement. As usual, our Sunday speaking events are free to the public and refreshments will be proved by the Museum staff. Come and join us for an educational and entertaining afternoon. |
