Re: Mink Scholarships



>>Dear Dennis:

>>Really need to speak with you.  Will try call tomorrow morning and throughout the day.  I am really behind in just about everything.  Have been putting up two exhibitions at one time and a third is coming up too soon. - Martin Luther King, Jr., then African American Authors and then History of the San Fernando Valley (12 historical societies and the Urban Archives Center are loaning pieces for this one).  The holiday break can really make a new year start out very, very hectic.

>>Will hand out your announcement on the Mink Scholarship when school begins.  Janaury 31st around here.  Why so late I do not know, but with these exhibits it is a good thing.

>>What is the best telephone number one should use to get a hold of you?

>>Later - sooner - Marshall
