ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
Thanks to the generous financial support of the KU Endowment
Association through the Grace Medes Fund, and other support from the KU Alumni
Association, the Oral History Committee is able to continue compiling histories
of retired KU faculty and staff. Because more money was needed to complete this
year’s work, Dale Seuferling, President of the KU Endowment Association made a
one-time contribution available to us. We appreciate his support. Because the
yearly amount from the Grace Medes Fund is limited, the Oral History Committee
encourages you to show support for the Oral History Project by making
contributions to the fund. Checks should be made to KU Endowment
Association/Grace Medes Fund.
