Get to Know Us: Nancy Fortner Stout

Nancy is the current President of the Griffith Historical Society.

Tell us a bit about yourself!
Iโ€™ve been married to Mike Stout for 47 years. Iโ€™ve got 3 children: Mike Jr, Angela, and Adam, and 9 grandchildren! I worked at the License Bureau, Griffith Senior High Schoolโ€™s Attendance Secretary, Strack & Van Til, and at American Trans Air (ATA) airports in FL and Midway. I have served on the Police Commission, as a UFCU Board Member, on the Griffith Educational Foundation, and as a Precinct Committeeperson.

What is your favorite memory about living in Griffith?
My favorite memory of Griffith is ice skating at Central Park, summer recreation St Maryโ€™s for grade school, and going to Griffith High School (I had a blast!)

What drew you to the GHS?
I have always loved Griffith, so when I saw they had a Historical Society, I knew it was for me.

What do you like most about being a GHS member and officer?
Finding out the history of Griffith. Barrel train at the Market with all the children. Elmer J Project with the 3rd graders. They get so excited when theyโ€™re learning about the history of Griffith. Santa in the Caboose โ€“ the children are so excited to see Santa.
I love working with the people of the Historical Society. Everyone supports each other.
