Ione was a member of the City of Mayville Planning Commission while I was mayor. She freely expressed her opinions which we appreciated. Ione was also my friend. I do not remember the year, but I called Ione to say that we needed to attend the annual meeting of the Golf Club. "Why bother" she said, "we can't vote." I said "We ARE going to vote!" We were the first two woman to vote at an annual meeting. The next year or so, a woman was elected to the Bd. of Directors of the Golf Club. We broke a glass ceiling! I extend my sincere sympathies and blessings to Emil and the family. You did a good job taking care of Ione. Thank you.
A very nice lady! I used to babysit for her children when I was a teenager. My sympathy to Emil and the family.
