years, whoever was around in the morning gathered in the ICA kitchen for
animated conversation, and often, story telling by Marge. </FONT></DIV>

LETTERSPACING="0">One summer, JWM assigned Marge to work in the print shop
during the summer program, knowing fully well she had no experience in print
shop running. He must also have known she would take on the task with good
spirits and creativity. Her one request was for two men who did not have
family responsibilities and who would not go to the bathroom without asking
permission. By this time Marge was fully aware of time demands of
working on any project during the summer program. So... knowing her hours
would be long, Marge went to Sears and bought two blue dresses. She would wear
one of the blue dresses, shower in it, so both Marge and the dress would be
clean. She would sleep a few hours, put on the second blue dress and head to
the print shop for another day - and repeat the process during the whole
summer program. She did not go into the condition of the dresses following her
stint in the print shop. </FONT></DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000000

heard. Each is a unique delight delivered by possibly the most amazing story
teller in the EI/ICA. Working with Marge is a good reason for anyone to come
for a couple of weeks working in the ICA Archives.</FONT></DIV><FONT
