To the editor:
As I’m sitting at my desk in an empty library (Then & Now Historical Library in downtown Dorr),m the thought occurred to me that us historically minded people have a job to do.I had sent e-mails out to members suggesting they keep a journal documenting their private journeys through this stressful period, writing down thoughts, anxieties, highs and lows, and how to cope with the situation.
As I have been going to the grocery stores in the area, I see the various different signs and barricades related to the confinement. Might I suggest that you take some pictures of the signs stating where and when they were taken so our library can document this historic time.
We have so little information of the Spanish flu epidemic — let’s make sure that this one is documented.
Stay home and stay safe.
Linda Stoepker, vice president, Then & Now Historical Society
