This is what we are doing at Heritage to be part of Riverfest!!!! We are honoring Dr. Nickell and celebrating SEMO Pets.
Dr. Nickell and his wife Gynell started the beginning of the Humane Society 50 years ago in 1976!!! They had all of the rescue animals in their house for a long time. Frank always laughed about the fact that they had ivory carpet when they all moved in, but it didn’t stay that way long. Several of our Volunteer volunteers and friends worked with Gynell when they were youngsters. We’re asking them to write letters of their memories of going to Dr. Nichols home to help care for the animals. Come join us at the parking lot at Heritage Hall, where we will be celebrating and remembering the good stories.
