[seal THE GREAT SEAL OF THE STATE OF IOWA] OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR STATE CAPITOL DES MOINES, IOWA 50319 515 251-5211 TERRY E. BRANDSTAD GOVERNOR A MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNOR May 15, 1998 Dear Edna: As Governor of Iowa, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate you on your selection as the recipient of the first annual Community Trailblazer Award. I regret that I cannot be with you tonight to celebrate this achievement, as I am traveling in southeastern Iowa. You are truly one of Central Iowa's civil rights pioneers. As a community activist and fundraiser, you have helped to better the lives of countless Iowans. As an inductee to the Iowa Women's Hall of Fame, you have inspired many young women in Iowa to stand up for what they know to be right. While the Trailblazer Award is certainly not the first public recognition of your activism, it is an award that is very well deserved. Please accept my best wishes for a meaningful celebration of your long history of achievements. Sincerely, [actual signature] Terry E. Branstad Governor of Iowa TEB:enb
