Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
Leaders of the newly-formed Ada Historical Society deemed the membership drive a success following a reception in the Railroad Depot and dinner at Viva Maria’s on Monday evening.

Those visiting the Depot saw a large collection of postcards gathered over the years by Lee Crouse (who happens to be one of the Ada Icon weekly columnists, as well). Lee’s postcards were displayed in large frames set on tripods.
