THANKS TO EVERYONE who came out for last night’s meeting. Author Richard Lindberg treated us to some gruesome tales on not only Lizzie Borden, but “Heartland Serial Killers” Belle Gunness and Johann Hoch. We explored further some facts on famous mass murderer H. H. Holmes, learned a few new ones about OIP’s own infamous Dr. Eye, and had a good time discussing historic gore. Thanks to Mr. Lindberg, who always provides a wealth of information on any topic he shares with us. Next meeting is June 19 — stay tuned for details!

Spring Meeting info now available!
