In Memory of Bill Holm

Bill Holm was named the SMAHC Prairie Star recipient in 2000.  He joined an elite group of artists, authors, and musicians whose work and activities have best exemplified the highest quality of work in the SMAHC region.  Howard Mohr, another nationally recognized southwest Minnesota writer stated in an article written in the September issue of Voices, 2000, "From our earliest days together doing Poetry Alive, Bill has been generous with his time, money and talent out here in southwest Minnesota.  He has helped put the area on the map and has made Minneota the heart of it through his many books."

Bill Holm was a great SMAHC Supporter having participated in many SMAHC events over the years.  We will miss him.
