It has been pointed out to me that the Board Room has a sign above it that says, "Leo T. Wolford Room". Now just who was Leo T. Wolford that he got his name on the board room?
He was on the Library Board for about 30 years and was president for part of that (at least in the mid-50's). He was an attorney and community leader and he left he library about $500. I've just been told by Bill Garnar (former assistant director and font of historical knowledge) that, "he either told Skip Graham or noted in his will that the amount of money was small because he firmly believed that Libray should be publicly tax supported."
Until next time...
