Annual "Rotors Over Mentone" event's program on Sep 11th. On hand were
American Huey 369 (upper right) and Cleveland Helicopter Services (bottom right)
who both offered rides to the public. The weather was great which allowed
visiting helicopters from the area to attend as well.

Linda Cochran with family at Rotors (2015)
and with Museum President Tim Croy (2020)
The Bell Aircraft Museum and its supporters were very saddened to learn of the passing
of Linda Cochran on Aug 11th. Linda served as a Board Member and was former secretary
for the Museum. She had helped organize local events including Rotors Over Mentone.
She was a key member of curating and supporting the Mentone Historical Museum. She
was also known for giving tours at each of the museums.

In past February, Board Members of the Lawrence D. Bell Aircraft Museum worked
with the Kosciusko County Community Foundation in establishing a new designated
fund, called the Mentone Historical Museum Fund. The fund is to support
activities related to the preservation of Mentone's town history.
