Tell us a bit about yourself!
I’ve been married to Mike Stout for 47 years. I’ve got 3 children: Mike Jr, Angela, and Adam, and 9 grandchildren! I worked at the License Bureau, Griffith Senior High School’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 Mary’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 they’re learning about the history of Griffith. Santa in the Caboose – the children are so excited to see Santa.
I love working with the people of the Historical Society. Everyone supports each other.
