  • Date: Sunday, March 9, 2025
  • Time: 12:00 noon to 1:30 p.m.
  • Location: Washoe County Library, Downtown Branch, 301 S. Center Street

This program is the result of Sunny Minedew asking Pat Klos for a video idea that could be done indoors in the winter in Reno. The stained glass windows in St Thomas Aquinas Cathedral depicting the beginnings of Nevada seemed a logical start. As the project progressed, they divided into two parts: Houses of Worship and Other Places. Be prepared to see some of Reno’s stained glass gems. Pat Ferraros Klos, founding president of HRPS, former board member of the Historic Resources Commission, Preserve Nevada, Lake Mansion, Nevada Humanities, and WC Courthouse Preservation Committee, has written and lectured throughout the state on various topics. Klos, a teacher-librarian, taught in Churchill, Lyon, Pershing, and Washoe counties.
