History: AT THE TIME OF DONATION, GALT STAFF CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW WITH DONOR IRMA DOGTEROM. THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WAS EXTRACTED FROM A LONGER NARRATIVE. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE PIN, DOGTEROM RESPONDED BY SAYING, “I HELPED THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY DO A HISTORY BOOK ON THESE SCHOOLS AND THEN THEY HAD A PARTY TO SELL THE BOOK AND THIS MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WHERE YOU PAID YOUR ENTRANCE TO THE PARTY AND THEN YOU GOT THIS LITTLE BADGE TO WORK. "WARNER WORKS WONDERS" IS THE NAME OF THE BOOK. I THINK [MEMBERS OF THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY HAVE] ALWAYS HAVE BEEN VERY HELPFUL. AND IT WAS WHEN I WAS HERE THAT I ENDED UP MEETING CARLY STEWART ON THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND ENDED UP DOING THE NEWSLETTER. I WAS NEVER PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN HISTORY."
