Approval of Deeds of Gifts from donors: <br />The Commission voted to accept the following 8 donations for the permanent <br />collection: <br />1. John Madonna — wine press that he and his brother -in -law, Joe <br />D'Amato, used to make wine in Louisville. <br />2. Frances Del Pizzo — scan of a photograph taken in the early 1980s of a <br />reunion of Louisville High School classes from the 1940s and 1950s. <br />3. Carolyn Mangus Manzanares — items relating to the Mangus family of <br />Louisville, including Antonio Mangus's naturalization certificate; photo of <br />Antonio and Ursula Mangus and their children; and paper account records in <br />a wooden box from the Mangus Store that was located on Main Street. <br />4. Grace Dionigi — four original photos showing the donor's grandparents, <br />Michael and Katie Bosko, and her aunt and uncle, Frank and Anna Frause, by <br />their Louisville homes. <br />5. Gordon Madonna — prints and scans of historical and contemporary photos <br />of the house at 733 Garfield. <br />6.

Public Works Dept., City of Louisville — "Station Map" dated 1938 that <br />shows the railroad track locations, including spurs, in downtown Louisville. <br />8. Jean Morgan — scans of two documents from Superior' Bruno family that <br />were shared with the donor: a 1932 Junior Prom program from Louisville <br />High School and a card from the Superior public school showing the <br />signatures of a number of students, many of whom later attended Louisville <br />High School. <br />B. Advice sought on donations of other artifacts being offered: <br />- John Madonna in addition to the wine press donation offered a grape <br />crusher. The Museum already has a grape crusher of the same size in its <br />collection. Commission recommended seeking donation as part of the <br />Education Collection. <br />- Jean Morgan brought in a box of papers about the Cottonwood Park <br />corridor dating back to the 1980s. Commission asked Bridget to take a <br />closer look at the documents and make a recommendation regarding <br />acceptance. <br />2 <br />
