Personnel

Description

Approx. 40 items: a strange assortment of items in a folder originally marked "Office Personnel." It is possible this was the folder's second use and the labeling was not updated. There are letters, memos and other material clearly related to LAT issues and "Marian Manners," but also speeches, press releases and other materials not directly related to LAT Home Economics' office personnel.
