From Nancy Milam:

Hello Family,

With great joy and gratefulness to God, I am thrilled to notify you that the debt owed Crain Displays and Exhibits for the Paul Carr exhibit has been paid!!  A donation was made the day before the Bridge Dedication in the amount of $7000.00 to pay off our balance. This generous donation was given by Jo and Jack Babbitt, friends of Jane and Jeff Rush.  Jack is a World War II veteran and greatly values the efforts to preserve our history and maintain patriotism.  I have attached the note they sent with their donation.  Now that we are debt free the PHCMF can focus on upkeep of the exhibit, reach out to local school children for tours, and signage in the city of Checotah to promote more awareness of Katy Depot and the Paul Carr Exhibit. if you have additional suggestions for use of future donations please contact Jeff Rush, Sue Warren, Perry Schulz, Luana Tucker, Carol Lohn, or myself.  It is exciting to focus on these goals now that the debt has been paid.

The Paul Carr Bridge dedication was an incredible dream come true.  Our Mamas, The Aunts, and other family members that are no longer with us would be dancing with joy.  To see pictures of the dedication and read the details go to Austin-Carr.org, Thanks to David Stephen and Sarah Lohn!!

Go to face book Paul Henry Carr Memorial Foundation also to read and to view the pictures and other people’s  comments..  Thanks to Jeff.

Praying that all have a Blessed Thanksgiving with loved ones, family and friends.  We are thanking GOD for all HE has done for us this year and HIS continual presence in “good times” and the difficult..

Love you, Nancy
