Mary Jeanne Bialas, Victorian Whispers
Mary Jeanne Bialas has traveled throughout the northeast leading adults and children through a time travel adventure into the 19th century. Educational programs are audience interactive - bringing participants into the Victorian world of fashion, politics, social and value structure, entertainment and schooling. Participants become living history actors... a scullery maid, a serving maid, a child of an industrialist, the wife of a wealthy factory owner, the father of a wealthy family, a Victorian banker, a student in a 1800's schoolhouse, a visitor to Scrooge's house at Christmas, and more. Hands on activities and Victorian crafts may be incorporated into particular programs as well. Traveling historic exhibits connect closely to particular programs and include antique under and outer garments, books, games, and more. Mary Jeanne has created programs which fit nicely in multi-time slots - hour long programs as well as half day and multi-day artist residences. Her living history characters and love for Victorian history, literature and antique clothing has led to the creation of several programs which can be presented "as is" or tweaked for any audience or particular educational standards/goals.

Joyce Rapp, Lima Historian
Although I began writing for magazines and other publications several years ago, I did not blend it with history until after I was appointed Lima Historian. It has been a rewarding experience; that I share with school children and through history columns in area newspapers. Presently, I am working on a book, "Yesterday in Lima and Other Stories". It should be in the book stores in October.I am a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Univ. of Rochester with a degree in history.
