Zephyr Craddock: Piano Teacher
Parkway Garden Christian Church 6600 South Park Ave. October 29,1959 Dear Mrs. Craddock As you know, the financial position of the Parkway Garden Chris- taian Church is not, at this time, very sound. The board, acting upon the reccommendations of the finance department, has taken steps to cur- tail some expenses of operation. In order to do this the board has voted to reduce the payroll obligations of the music department. Mrs. Fuller has been designated to be the sole musician on the payroll on the premise that she will function in the dual capacity of director/ organist. The church can never adequately express the deep feeling of grati- tude for the service you have render during the past years. It is our understanding that, in the case of emergency, we may call on you to provide music for the service. With this understading it has been decreed that in event of such and emergency, you will be compensated for such service at the prevailing rate of the one staff musician. Yours in Christ ( Albion T.
