May 17, 1982
To: Carol Burpee (and file)
From: Chris Feronti
RE: Glenwood Cemetery - Bids for Cleaning Stones, etc.
Carol, Thelma May mailed us bids for 13 new jobs.
I've reviewed Wanda Whitley's 4/30/82 memo to
determine if there are adequate balances to cover this work:
1) Annie McBride Blane OK at $650
2) Kemp S. Dargan OK at $850
3) Roy L. Dudley OK at $750
4) Dr. James A. Hill OK at $700
5) E. J. Hogan OK at $550
6) E. O. Lovett OK at $625 (not $750 bid)
7) V. H. McCall & M. P. McCall OK at $500
8) Howard F. Smith OK at $700
9) Robert Welch Foundation OK at $800
10) Charles Doering Estate OK at $550
11) James L. DeTrevillle OK at $35.
12) Libbie Rice Farish OK at $1650 (not $1700)
13) Ella Rice Winston not OK
Will you please talk with Thelma about Lovett and Farish and
see if she's interested in doing them at $625 and $1650, respectively,
and then write a letter of authorization (same format as before).
Thanks,
CF
