FORMER MILNE LIBRARY LITHGOW MURAL
STATUS
I have been in touch with UAlbany's Bill Hedberg regarding
the restoration of the former Milne Library murals.
According to Bill, there are still four murals to be renovated,
two of which he hopes will be completed this summer. Bill is
still waiting for the estimated cost from the
conservator.
If Milne Alumni would like to contribute to this project, they
are welcome (and encouraged!) to do so. He assured me that all
funds contributed to the project by Milne Alumni have been and
will continue to be used solely for mural restoration. Checks
should be made payable to the University at Albany
Foundation with a designation that they are to be
applied to the Lithgow Mural Restoration
Project. Send your donation to:
William B. Hedberg, Ph.D.
Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs
Office of the Provost and Vice President for Academic
Affairs
University Hall 308
1400 Washington Avenue
Albany, NY 12222
518-956-8030
518-956-8043 (fax)
I asked, "Is there any possibility that there will be a
plaque indicating that Milne Alumni helped restore the
murals?" and he responded, "That's our
plan."
If you have any further questions, I would suggest that you
contact Bill at the above address or telephone number.

MILNE SCHOOL HALL OF

MILNE YAHOO!
GROUPS
There are currently
three Yahoo! Groups relating to all Milne Alumni.
1. The "main" group, to which you all belong:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MilneSchoolAlumni/
2. The newsletter group, through which monthly newsletter
announcements are made: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/milnenewsletter/
Only the administrator can post messages to those
two groups.
3. Finally, there's http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Milne_School/,
which was set up four years ago so that alumni could
"converse" with one another. Unfortunately, to date
there are only 32 members, and there has been no activity for
over a year (other than a discussion regarding closing the
group!). Therefore, unless someone would like to take over
administration duties, I am going to close this Yahoo!
Group.
