<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Marge....a story.</div><div><br></div>Marge! One of my favorite "characters". I think my first work in the archives, on the 6th floor of "Kemper" was in August 2011. The day often began with breakfast with Marge, Paul Noah, Frank Knutson and myself. Marge would tell priceless "Marge Stories" and there were a lot of them! My very favorite Marge Story...<div><br></div><div>"Joe Mathews assigned Marge to manage the print shop during a summer program. According to Marge, she told Joe she would do it only...if there were guys assigned to work in the print shop who did not have to go back to their wives "early", meaning they could stay up all night. The first thing Marge did was to go to the Sears store on Lawrence and get 2 blue dresses. At the end of her day/night work she would go upstairs and take a shower, in her blue dress, and hang it up to dry. Next day she would wear the other blue dress to the print shop....repeat... all summer. </div><div><br></div><div>And, in "those days" Marge knew where everything was in the archives and was able to keep track of huge amounts of information and where it was. "Hey Marge, do you know where we can find...?" Marge, Rosemary Albright and Sally Fenton were the three marvels overseeing the archives when I arrived on the scene. What a crew!</div><div><br></div><div>Beret Griffith & Paul Noah</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 18, 2020 at 9:17 AM Doug and Pat Druckenmiller via Dialogue <<a href="mailto:dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net">dialogue@lists.wedgeblade.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Marge, the giant of the Archives! We so enjoyed working with her on the project in Chicago over the past several years. She is always such a delight. She asks deceptively difficult questions. I caught myself thinking many times that the
answer to her question was obvious, only to realize as I tried to think of an answer that it was far from it!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Go well, Marge. We will not soon forget you.</p>

such as a red ribbon-– but we also are contributing videos (songs, stories or readings) that Marge can listen to, or written messages that can be read to her.</span></span><span class="gmail-m_6205581833256185338eop"><span style="color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:9pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
