Hatchery to celebrate 100 years

The above picture was taken sometime before 1938 of the fish hatchery at Roaring River State Park. The hatchery was first constructed in 1910. I am putting together some articles to commemorate the centennial of the hatchery which will be in 2010. I would appreciate any early pictures of Roaring River Hatchery and of people who have worked at the hatchery. There was also a man named Fey Roller who worked as hatchery manager before 1940. I would also appreciate any information and pictures of him that any one may have. If you can share pictures with me -- I would be able to scan them into my computer and would be able to return them to you immediately. If you have pictures or information please call me at the hatchery 417-847-2430

My family has gone to Roaring River on vacation for 30 years. We kids now come with our parents and own children. I am interested in old photos of RR before it was renovated in the early part of the 1900's. I have a small book I picked up at the Barry Co Museum last summer. Any other suggestions on the web?
