Merrill Hinkle Donates Record Collection

Douglas Martinek accepting Mr. Hinkle's record collection

Mr. Merrill Hinkle was gracious enough to donate his entire Polka record collection to the Moravan Lodge #128, Rossville, KS.

Mr. Hinkle, 92 year young, lives in rural Jackson County near Mayetta. He remembers dancing with his wife, Margarite at the Bohemian Hall and across the Midwest.

The records date back to 1975, with many of the records, personally autographed with the polka musician’s name and the location of the dance where Mr. Hinkle purchased them.


Mr. and Mrs. Hinkle will be the guest of honor at the Spring Polka Dance at the Bohemian Hall on April 27, 2019.
