Crawford was one of two honored guests as a 1948 Girls’ State delegate. The other was Marian Vickers Fergerson, also formerly of Hardin, who was elected to the State Auditor position. She is now a resident of Cody, Wyo.
The 2008 delegates from Conrad were Melissa Barringer and Sydney Philipps. This year there were 234 Girls’ Staters that participated.
