We knew the alumni of Atlanta High School were loyal to the high school and the community, but the donations were above and beyond what we expected. We got anything from less than $5 to over $100, and every bit mattered.
Even though the building was torn down in 1972, people still have a strong connection to Atlanta High School. It was a very successful effort from alumni all over the United States.
So far I can say the Friends of the Atlanta Library and Museum are pleased beyond expectations.
