Summertime by Barbara Ebel5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Lucy May | WCPO Barbara Ebel spent each Friday working at this desk as a volunteer at Cincinnati Museum Center's Geier Collections and Research Center in Queensgate. Unbeknownst to Conzett - or anyone else she knew through her volunteer work - Ebel was a millionaire.

She cataloged thousands of historical items at the Geier Collections & Research Center, tucked behind a worn wooden desk with a boxy radio as her trusty companion. CINCINNATI - Every week for 17 years, Barbara Ebel drove from her modest home in Hartwell to a nondescript Queensgate building to volunteer for Cincinnati Museum Center. ![]()
