Several donations came in in memory of Howard Wilson. Howard chose the library to be the recipient of his memorials before he passed. We are so thankful. The following people have chosen to donate in Howard’s memory: Jeff and Linda Whitney, Shelly and Rob Belt, Kay and Bernard Rasmussen, Rich and Cheryl Hansen, Terry and Irene Jensen, Bill Burns, Ella Alexander, Andrew and Roxanne Switzer, Twilah Flint, Carl and Sally Chapin, Flat River Antique Auto Club, and Howard’s wife, Pat Wilson.
