The Morrows have been Shelby County Historical Society members since the Ross Historical Center opened. They have helped in the preparation of numerous exhibits and children’s activities. They also write the monthly Out of the Past column. Shelby County Historical Society Director Tilda Phlipot said of the couple, “That at a few minutes notice they will always come to help in any way necessary.”
