StumblePhillip Earl retires after 30 years at Nevada Historical Society
Tuesday, June 29, 1999 | 9:31 a.m.
Earl first worked for the Historical Society in 1970, then again from 1973 until the present.
He started out as a museum attendant and eventually became curator of history.
Earl is perhaps best known for his weekly newspaper column, "This Was Nevada." The column is distributed to 26 papers around the state and gives a historical depiction of the people, places and events that shaped the Silver State.
Earl is retiring on Wednesday and will be honored that night at a dinner in Reno.
