My granddaughter (Mrs. Roy Emmel) living on Southmont Blvd. sent me this clipping from the newspaper.
I was very interested in the idea and wrote you but I did forget to put the clipping in the note.
I have tried to think of anyone still living that I knew at that time.
Hoping you will be successful in this undertaking.
I am sincerely
Mrs. Jennie Cover
