Annette Kellermann
Known as Australia's Diving Venus and America's Million Dollar Mermaid, Annette Kellermann entertained audiences at NYC's Hippodrome, Vaudevile and the silver screen.

Her never give up attitude has inspired thousands to aim for the star(fish)s. Nancy Blain Underhill
In April of 1882, 18 year old Nancy crossed the Rockies to be one of Grand Junction's first citizens, the first school teacher and the first person to preach a funeral. Listen as Nancy tells what pioneer life was like in the Grand Valley. |
