In honor of March Madness, the photo this week is of the 1934 Monroe High School boys basketball team. Shown in the back row are manager Thurm Craigo, Robert Buehler, David Bennett, John Keel, Dan Kohli and coach Ed Brown. Ed Rufenacht, John "Farnum" Knipschild, Harvey Trumpy, John "Chum" Figi and Otto Lisser are shown in the front row. The Green County Historical Society has many photographs besides the 676 that have been published in the recent pictorial books. Many other research sources, including obituaries from the 1920s to the present, also are housed at the museum. Anyone who wishes to gain access to these resources may contact Matt Figi at 608-325-6503 or mfigi48@tds.net to make an appointment. Society members are not able to help people research during the hours that the museum is open.
