Society Names Irvin's Place in History

There's the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame -- and now the Virgina V. Irvin Volunteer Hall of Fame for the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society.

Those who have a hall of fame named after them usually have done something so extraordinary that a mere place in a hall of fame isn't enough. More than 220 members of the Wisconsin State Genealogical Society recently named their hall after Virgina Irvin.

The state society was delighted to honor the late Jack Brissee as the first inductee, and to so inform him shortly before his final hospital stay. In typical modest fashion, he objected...but found himself overruled!
