Topic: “Buttons, Bows and Bowlers”- how events in history have influenced the ways we dress.


Caroline, Joyce and Al will be holding a series of round table discussions with several very long-time residents. Purpose is to tape record their history of Maple Grove way back and as time has gone on. Tapes will be transcribed and both tapes and written will be saved. It is important we learn the thoughts of those that have been in our City for 50, 60, 70 years & in a few cases more. It is important we preserve their legacy. We have lost Jim Deane and Don Kisch and both had a tremendous history of the City.
