Gary is working with Buck Anderson to prepare the document to send to the County Commission. The Agriculture Extension Service, which is 75 years old, is also working on a Subj ect Marker. Joan has a friend, Tex Owens, who belongs to the Historical Railroad Society and their group is renovating a railroad car to give to the City of Temple. She told him that the Historical Committee would love to have the railroad car if they don't want it. David spoke with a couple in town, Bob and Kay Poling, who recently purchased a 75 year old house on Bird Pond Road. They were inquiring about funding resources to help with the renovation costs of their house. Eric stated that he researched for possible funds for the restoration of historic homes and none were available. Most funding programs for historic home restoration no longer exists. The Committee would like to receive applications on two historic homes: 1712 Glade and 1700 Laura Lane. Gary will contact Pete and Laura Fitch Norman who own the first house.

Dear Dr. Schultz: I am writing to inform you that we have ordered the above - referenced marker for casting. :- The completed marker should be ready for shipment within 10 weeks. A copy of the final - inscription as it was sent to the foundry is enclosed for your files. According to our records, the marker should be shipped to the address above. If these instructions have changed during the marker process, please let me know as soon as possible so that I may notify the foundry. If you have not already done so, this would be a good time to begin planning the marker dedication ceremony. (A guide to planning a dedication ceremony is'available from our office upon request.) Since this is a state program, we suggest that your state senator and /or representative be included in the program, as well as your county judge and commissioners who have appointed your county historical commission. Please avoid setting the dedication date until the marker is received. The estimated shipping date above does not take potential shipping problems or other unforeseen delays into account, and the best laid dedication plans could be upset if planned around this time estimate. We will notify you and all parties listed below once the marker has been shipped from the foundry, and at that time we will also send all parties a form for announcing the dedication in the preservation calendar of the THC's monthly newsletter,_ The Medallion. Again, please let he know if there has been a change in the shipping address, or if you would like a marker dedication guide.
