Re: Holly Howes' Offer of Menus



Dear Jane Civins,

The Culitary Archives and Museums at Johnson and Wales
University is the prefect repository for the menus. I
always wondered if there was a place that collected
menus --- now I know!

I will send the menus to you either tomorrow or early
next week.

Thank-you.

Holly M. Howes
Archives Coordinator
Mantor Library
University of Maine at Farmington
