Haven't been to the gallery but things are quiet there. I believe attention is being focused on placing Meharry under Vandy's care -

Hope you, Thelma & all the family are well and that you'll come South to visit sometime.

I'll be here until July 25 -

Have a wonderful 39th AGAIN! The Welches celebrated 50 years on June 5 - so did the Lawsons. I celebrated 50 years from Spelman last month. Do keep in touch, Gladys.

Dear David,

Thank you for your advice and encouragement. The enclosed materials are redundant and repetitive but they give some idea of what we are doing in the College and in the Division of Jazz Studies. I do hope you will find some time to spend with us during the coming school year.

Sincerely Vada
