“Linda, let me begin by saying this was a first time experience for me. Considering how overwhelming the restoration project is, your guidance and expert assistance, we have a good start. The major accomplishment has been the starting grant from the State Historical Society of Iowa. Once we complete the work for this first phase, our chance of continuing grants has been enhanced. The other major contribution you are responsible for is the grant applications that are still open and hopefully being considering. Fairmount Cemetery Restoration is just starting with much left to work on. My hope is our journey working together has just begun.”
