Prior Meeting: Fall Luncheon
When: Sat., Oct. 20, 2018
Where: Carlito's Mexican Restaurant
Red Bluff, CA
Speaker: Dr. Roger Ekins and wife Helen, California Living History Program,
in costume as William B. and Susan Ide - the only President of the
California Republic and his wife.
Roger and Helen Ekins have been volunteering as re-enactors with the California Living History Program since December of 2017, specializing in the California Mormon pioneers of 1845 to 1857. Roger's interest in William Brown Ide began many years ago when he was Dean of Instruction at Butte College and one of his associate faculty members had a contract to exhume and re-inter any remains found in the Monroeville Pioneer Cemetery. When visiting the site one day Ekins was handed a skull and told "Meet William B. Ide." Of course there is no way of knowing if that skull was actually that of Judge Ide, but the interest of both Roger and Helen was rekindled when, in 2014, David Freeman asked for help from the local units of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in creating new tombstones for this pillar of Colusi County society. The rest, as they might say, is living history.
