Subject: RE: Summary so far re: Honoring Von
Hi EK,
I agree that a scholarship for Von would shrink MACs limited resources, so I'm in favor of a tribute of some sort for Von at the next annual conference. I would also like to see some sort of memorium set up for her by way of naming a CSW or MAC research session after her. I think that would be a fine way of remembering our dear friend.
Best,
Paula

Subject: Summary so far re: Honoring Von
Thanks to everyone for their in-put.
I have not gotten to all my email sent since Friday so there may be more information than what is summarized below. Please post to the whole list your opinions about what I am to suggest and response to the question I ask.
If anyone wants to send personal condolences or contributions to the scholarship in Von's name at Kent or ask her daughter a question the information is:
1. Donations can now be made to the Dr. Evonne H. Whitmore Memorial Scholarship through the School of Journalism and Mass Comm at Kent State. Make checks payable to the Kent State Univ. Foundation, KSU/JMC, P.O.B. 5190, Kent, OH 44242, Ref: Dr. Evonne H. Whitmore Memorial Scholarship.
2. The funeral was today so probably the best place to send condolences to the family is 6150 Second Ave, Kent, OH 44240
3. Questions for Von's Daughter Lauren Whitmore 404-493-0756 or email [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
What I plan to do is to send a condolence card to the family and a copy of the emails people have sent to me individually with their graphs about what Von meant to them, her research, etc. I will keep a paper copy and provide that to anyone who is developing a program honoring Von at next year's conference. When I left on Friday I had something from Dr. Sandra Combs, Sharon Bramlett-Solomon, as well as one line each from Diana, Petra and Wanda B. If others want their graphs sent to the family please send to me (vs. the listserve) with Honoring Von in the subject line.
MAC already has the Barrows scholarship that is not too hefty/needs donations. I don't know what the Division's budget is but I gather it's always been very limited. Rather than drain funds from the Barrows scholarship (which we should do more fundraising for BTW) I think we should plan some sort of program tribute to Von for the next annual conference and give individually to Von's Kent State scholarship if so moved.
I cannot go to the Winter meeting so I cannot discuss it there. Petra is in transition. Perhaps if through the listserv we could give her and Felicia some program suggestions Petra, Felicia and Curtis (who will all, I think, be at the Winter AEJ meeting) can decide and chip bargain then. What do you think?
