Quapaw drumstick
Ramona (Quapaw) DePrimo Collection
When she enlisted in the Air Force in January 1968, Ramona (Quapaw) DePrimo’s father presented her with this 100-year-old drumstick handed down from her grandfather, a Quapaw chief.
“I always wanted to be in the military. My oldest sister says I always marched to a different drummer.
I loved waking up in the morning knowing that I had a certain goal and a positive approach to getting things done.”
