TLC #126 June 26, 2010
Dear Hearts & Gentle
People:
I write to ask your
indulgence. My ISP decided I was Spamming when I sent off TLCs. Because
they went from my Outbox to my Sent box, without notification except that they
had been scanned for viruses, I did not realize that so many of you were
not receiving them. I have spoken to my ISP and have made adjustments to my
controls. And now I believe the problem is fixed!
I am going to re-send
#124 and #125, which nearly everyone did not receive.
If you have missed any
other issues, let me know and I'll send them to you individually. This may also
be a good time to suggest that if you would like to be removed from the mailing
list, I'll be happy to do that...if I can see through my tears.
Meanwhile I will include
the following note, which just arrived from the chair of the Auditorium
Commission, Abigail Tempel:
Susan, Thank you for the information and support you provide
regarding the auditorium in the TLC publication. It truly is
appreciated. The responses from readers are wonderful and welcomed.
These help us identify events and dates for which there may be pictures or news
articles, or oral accounts. One of the Friends of the Auditorium
Commission's ideas for the renovated auditorium is to have a rotating exhibit of
these past events and stories...to bring these memories to life for our
young people and visitors.
Thought has been given to
soliciting funds from alumni and former residents....as an endowment for
marketing, programs, children's theatre, etc. Once we have the
not-for-profit status in place, we will revisit these possibilities in more
detail.
The TLC readers
also may be interested to know that the Missouri Alliance for Historic
Preservation (also called Missouri Preservation) on May 18 designated the Zion
AME Church as one of the state's Most Endangered Historic Buildings. We
will be working with the AME Conference trustees in Kansas City to stabilize
this building at 16th and Lafayette Streets and find viable, alternative uses
for it. Information about the building's nomination can be found on
www.preservemo.org.
Any memories or history your readers may have concerning this building would be
appreciated.
Ending on a "down"
note, word reaches us that Lee Dresser has been diagnosed with Acute
Myelogenous Leukemia. Due to Lee's recovery period, The Krazy Kats have
cancelled all performances for the months of May, June, July and
August. They write: "So as the old song says, "SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER"!
53 YEARS AND STILL
ROCKIN'!"
'Til next time, fare
well!
Your devoted
scribe,
Susan
