Having lived in Harper County most of my 73 years, I have known a lot about the Runnymede Hotel. Way back in the 1950s, Agnes Nye, Harper artist and historian, was the first person to ever research the significance of Runnymede, the English village of wild, rich hoodlums. When Jerry Brown began her dream of restoring the building in Alva (there are others you know), she came to Harper and we visited. Our publication, Red Door Journal/Prairie Connection did some features about it at that time. After Jerry was gone, there was nary a blip on the radar from Alva folks. I always wondered why Harper County folks were never invited to the Grand Opening, or kept informed of a part of THEIR heritage, too? We had a lot to offer. ~Rosalea Hostetler 2009-12-21 11:43:22Add your two-cents (BACK TO FULL ISSUE)
